How to Find the Perfect Diet That's Right For You

You’ve probably heard the statistic that 95% of dieters can’t keep the weight off, and when they gain it back they often gain MORE than they weighed before.

Research has proven that dieting can backfire AND mess up your metabolism.

What’s important about this dieting statistic?

This statistic is important because it’s likely that you want to drop a few pounds so you can feel sexy in your clothes, wear the latest styles, look great on the beach and feel confident in your skin. And you deserve to have those results! But if diets don’t work, then what does?

Here are my 10 ways to start discovering the perfect diet for you… because you won’t find it in any diet book.

I’ve compiled these 10 “paradigms” on discovering your perfect diet from working with clients in my health coaching practice.

1. There are as many “right” diets as there are people on the planet!
2. What’s healthy for one person might not be healthy for YOU.
3. The body has an innate wisdom beyond any book or authority.
4. Diets are not useful as dogma, but they ARE useful as a reference.
5. Your body is the ultimate dietary authority for every phase of your life.
6. Your diet changes as YOU change.
7. Your body is the most powerful, least expensive and BEST dietary experimentation lab.
8. Your RELATIONSHIP with food & your body impacts your health more than the food you eat.
9. Symptoms, cravings and behaviors are not the problem, they are your only solutions till now.
10. Nourishment is about much more than just food

It might be scary at first to think that YOU actually have more control of your weight loss experience than a “diet” does.

Most of my clients (once they really open up to this possibility) find it totally liberating and start to feel empowered instead of fearful. YES!
