Eat For Life is a program that can help facilitate our ability to be guided by our own inner wisdom about what, when, and how much to eat. Based on the premise that DIETS DON'T WORK,  the Eat For Life program guides participants away from external means of moderating food intake (e.g. the scale, dress size, food portion size) to more internal means (e.g. taste, sensations of fullness).   Through mindful meditation practices and gentle stretching, this program can also help participants learn to take care of themselves with kindness and compassion. 

In 2014, research revealed that those who participated in the Eat For Life program were able to: 
​​

•  increase mindfulness
• demonstrate a greater appreciation for their bodies
• cultivate a more intuitive way of eating
• reduce problematic eating behaviors​

This program is based on three main themes:

Theme One

Formal mindfulness practices guide us toward behavior that shows greater respect for our bodies.

Theme Two

The principles of intuitive eating guide us toward increased awareness of how, when, and what to eat.

Theme Three

The illumination of mindless eating, coupled with some basics of good nutrition and scientific knowledge guides us to eating decisions that are more conscious and healthy.
