Preventous Information Session: Mindful Weight Loss
Have you been trying to lose weight by depriving yourself of calories? Forcing yourself to exercise more than you want? Taking diet pills or supplements looking for that magic cure? Buying tasteless, expensive diet food? All without any long-term success?
We offer another option, one that isn’t painful and won’t stress you out.
You can lose weight—and keep it off—without depriving or torturing yourself. In fact, you can eat the foods you love, and stop worrying about counting and burning calories.
The Missing Piece of the Weight Loss Puzzle
Research shows that 80 – 95% of people who lose weight eventually gain it back. We finally understand why!
Most weight loss programs and diets focus solely on the body, whether through diet pills, nutrition or exercise. However they fail to look at the mind. Psychology plays a fundamental role in the success or failure of any endeavour. The mind influences our behaviours. Get the mind right, and the right behaviours for losing weight simply fall into place.
Eating patterns are often influenced by emotional or psychological issues. Without the right help, you simply cannot break these patterns, and you revert to your old eating habits.
What we have discovered is that proper nutrition and exercise are important factors in weight loss, but you must address the psychological issues behind your eating habit if you want to succeed.
Overcome Your Weight Loss Obstacles
Our Weight Loss Program focuses on what really matters: Changing Your Mind. In one-on-one sessions with our psychologist, Alexander Dhand, you will find yourself overcoming weight loss obstacles so you can achieve your healthy body weight.
Through these valuable sessions you will discover how to:
- Maintain focus on your target
- Control emotional eating
- Manage stress to prevent stress-related, disordered eating
- Sustain your motivation to achieve your goal
- Control symptoms of depression and demoralization so they do not adversely impact your efforts to lose weight
- Resurrect your self-esteem and turn it into an asset in your quest for weight loss
- Build a positive body image to improve your mental resolve to go the distance
If you’re tired of programs that don’t work, talk to Preventous.
