Ready to Break Up With Dieting And Finally Make Peace With Food?

Does your relationship with food feel like a tricky one?
Maybe even negative or obsessive?

Are you not able to have certain foods (candy, cakes, chips, etc.) in the house because you have no willpower around them?

Do you think about food all the time? Do you feel motivated during the day, but have zero willpower at night?

Do you find yourself feeling defeated and overwhelmed with food?

Do you know all the macro and calorie counts of food, but still have no idea what to eat?

Are you sick of “starting over” every Monday or January 1st?

It is possible to redesign your relationship with food.

Imagine…

Knowing what nourishes your body
Listening and trusting your body, rather than fighting it
Decreasing stress eating
No longer worrying about your weight
Feeling good about your body - and treating it with kindness
And finally getting off the diet roller coaster

That would mean you’d…

Spend more time on the things that really matter to you
Stress less about food and your body
Have clarity around food choices
Save money by avoiding the next diet fad and diet foods
Feel more confident at work, home, and socially
Enjoy exercise, instead of dreading it like a chore
Feel more alive, energetic, and productive

Hi, I'm Lenora Lostaunau, M.A., NBC-HWC
Holistic Health Coach &
Founder of Self Luv Holistic Health and Surf Coaching.

I don’t know about you, but I’ve tried a 100 diets and not one of them made me feel happy about my body, my discipline or myself in general.

I’ve tried diets that other people I know succeeded (in the short term) with like, Keto, the Master Cleanse, Weight Watchers, Noom, to name a few.

But, I found doing what worked for someone else didn’t work for me. What each person needs or does not need is so different and trying the latest prescribed diet or doing what my friend did, did not honor my body’s individual needs or body chemistry, nor were any of these solutions sustainable long term!

I’ve tried challenges and insanity workouts that only left my body so beat and sore that I NEVER wanted to do the workout again AND so hungry that I undid the workout by eating more than I burned, usually in the same day if not the next.

The feeling of failure from not sticking to these unrealistic solutions left me riddled with frustration and shame. Like not eating any solid food for 2 weeks ( cleanse ) was somehow logical and MY mind and body was weak for not having the willpower to stick to it.

In hindsight, THAT was the insanity. My body was not weak, when I broke down and ate (aka nourished my body) I was trying to stay uh Alive. Survival and health actually don’t care about bathing suit season or whether or not you fit into your jeans from before you (insert your before here)!

Our bodies KNOW what they need to be healthy and they tell us if we can only slow down enough to listen.

And this place, the mindset of these perceived failures was the worst place to inspire achieving a goal. In fact they made me feel like quitting and thinking like I might as well eat that cookie dough… which ultimately led to feeling bad and more guilt and shame. NO BUENO!

It wasn’t until I learned to approach my body, food and fitness from a perspective of self love rather than self-reproach did my body and my happiness around food and fitness start to get better.

That’s when I decided that there HAD to be a better way.

After years of “starting over” every Monday morning, I went searching for a new way. That’s when I discovered an entirely new approach to health called Intuitive Eating.

Which led me to some pretty incredible results….

I learned how to eat and take care of myself in ways that felt good, not like a punishment.

I felt a new freedom and confidence with food and my body.

I was no longer obsessing and counting food.

I even felt confident and relaxed around food.

Then I started working with my clients in this non-diet approach. . .

They experienced the same peace with food, feeling satisfied & enjoying the food they ate.

Here’s what I know….

By the time a woman reaches her 45th birthday, it is estimated that she has tried 61 diets, food plans, programs, lifestyle changes, detoxes, and cleanses.

Diets have a 97% failure rate. Research shows that while diets may result in immediate weight loss, there is no sustained weight loss after 3-5 years with any diet plan.

The number one predictor of weight gain is dieting.

Diets cause slowed metabolism, weight gain and even eating disorders.

You are not a failure, the diets were the failure all along.

I used to constantly search for the secret hack that I thought everyone else knew. It makes perfect sense that I was always searching for a smaller body and “perfect food plan” because this was what I was taught since I was a little girl.

When I stopped focusing on losing weight, I finally was able to create a whole new relationship with food.

I had a whole new outlook on my health, food and body image. And now I want to help you experience this.

Introducing…

FAQs

Will I lose weight on this program?

Here’s my honest answer…

Yes. No. Maybe.

The desire to lose weight is totally normal, that’s what we have been taught- thin equals healthy/good/valuable. Weight loss isn’t bad, but it can get in the way of healing your relationship with food.

I will invite you to spend 2 weeks focusing on establishing a healthy relationship with food, instead of weight loss. Just to try it out and see how it affects your relationship with food.

By the time women are 45 years old, statistics show that they have tried at least 61 different diets and food plans. As a result, the dieting industry is a 71-billion-dollar industry that has women doubting themselves and their bodies.

After a lifetime of trying to shrink your body, don’t you think it will be a welcome relief to spend two weeks focused on healing your relationship with food and your body?

In this program, some people lose weight, some gain weight. Both of those results may be healthy for each body.

This is a weight-neutral program, weight loss is not the focus. Remember that thin does not equal health. Health is defined by each individual. Health is evident in different shapes and sizes of bodies.

Applying a weight-neutral approach to your life is freeing. It allows you to focus on healthy behaviors in your control. It’s a powerful shift.

What exactly is a non-diet/ Intuitive Eating approach?

Instead of focusing on weight loss, in this program, we will focus on health behaviors and the thoughts and emotions behind them. We will begin to unpack the Restrict-Rebel-Guilt cycle of chronic dieting that so many people are stuck in.

Along with health behaviors, we will address the root causes of emotional eating patterns. The program is grounded in the principles of Intuitive Eating which are research and science-based. I believe that all bodies are good bodies. The pursuit of weight loss is more damaging mentally and physically to the body.

Are the recipes vegan, vegetarian, or paleo?

The recipes do not follow a directive nutrition plan that eliminates whole food groups. In case you are wondering, there are plenty of vegan and vegetarian options.

Instead of eliminating food groups, we will work to grow your inner attunement to hunger, fullness, and satisfaction cues, along with rejecting the diet mentality with food. We will practice perceiving all foods as neutral, rather than good and bad foods. This is one of the critical mindset shifts to ending emotional and binge eating, along with anxiety around food.

Will you tell me what to eat?

No, not in the typical diet sense. I believe in body autonomy. This process is about you trusting your own body rather than looking towards external rules. An important part of detaching from diet culture is learning what works for your body. I will guide you through a process to learn more about how you feel when you eat different foods and what best supports your body. We will focus on including foods that will satiate you, give you energy throughout the day, and support your mood.

Is this the same as mindful eating?

No, mindful eating is an important tool used in Intuitive Eating (and this program), but we will go much deeper.

We will dismantle diet culture so you’re able to understand how it has impacted how you think and feel about food. This is the often missing piece to healing your relationship with food.

In this program you will:

Start to break the cycle of dieting so you can trust yourself with food.
Identify root causes of any emotional eating you may experience, so you can reduce stress and emotional eating (without relying on willpower).
Rediscover the pleasure and satisfaction of food again - because food is meant to be enjoyed.
Learn what foods satiate you and sustain your energy levels throughout the day, so you feel more alive to enjoy your life fully.
Stop counting calories and start eating with ease and freedom.
Begin to make peace with food and your body, finally, so you can experience greater joy and fulfillment with food and in your life.
Start to heal your relationship with food, so that you can focus on what’s truly important to you.

How much time will this program take each day/week?

There are 5 live coaching calls that are 60-90 minutes in length. You can always watch the replays if the times don’t match your schedule.

The daily assignments will take 10-30 minutes a day, depending on how much time you want to put into it. Many of the assignments don’t take any extra time - they are simply inviting you into greater awareness and mindfulness around food, eating, emotions, and your relationship with your body - so you can shift them.

What makes this program different from other diets like Noom, Whole 30 and Paleo?

Noom, Paleo, and Whole30 all have elements of restriction - where certain foods are forbidden and villainized or where the goal is to restrict calories.

This is the “old” way of approaching health and wellness.

I created this program because the old ways of “good” and “bad” foods and restrictions were not working for my clients. It only created a more stressful relationship with food.

I knew my clients needed a different approach, and I’m guessing you’re probably looking for a plan that offers a fresh path.

This program is based on an innovative, highly-effective, evidence-based approach that allows you to experience more peace, joy, and fulfillment with food and in your life.

This is a unique departure from what’s been traditionally offered in health and wellness.

This program is based on the principles of Intuitive Eating, where all foods fit. There are no food rules to follow.

This program allows you to prioritize your physical health, along with emotional and mental health. - which allows you to experience an easeful relationship with food and your body.

I’ve read the Intuitive Eating book, but I’m still confused. Will I benefit from this program?

Yes, it’s great that you already have a start, let’s build on it! I love when my clients have read the book, Intuitive Eating (but it’s not required!). There’s so much power in practicing a non-diet approach to food with a coach (that’s me!) to support you - along with a like-minded community.

Ditching dieting can feel isolated at times, like you are the only one in the world on this journey. I hope you will join us for community, connection and deepening of your Intuitive Eating practice!

What if I’m not available for the live calls?

While I encourage you to participate on the live calls as much as you are able, recordings will be available, so you can listen on your own schedule.

I’m not sure if I’m ready to let go of dieting (or losing weight) yet. Is this program for me?

You don’t have to be ready, just open minded to a new approach.

It’s totally normal that you may feel a sense of safety and security in the world of dieting. All of us have been raised in a diet culture and thin ideal obsessed society, so it’s only normal that dieting feels comforting to you.

One of the first things we will work on in this program is uncovering the lies you’ve been taught by diet culture.

Thinking you need to have the perfect body or have food all figured out to start this process is one of the many lies of diet culture.

I hope you will put your trust in yourself to start this healing process. I will be honored to guide you.
