Most of us know as much as we need to about nutrition.
Most of us know as much as we need to about portion sizes.
If you're frustrated with your eating or weight, it's probably not because you "didn't realize" that eating an entire pan of brownies wasn't particularly healthy.*
Oh golly, I wish I'd known sooner that 4,000 calories of ice cream wasn't healthy! You don't say!
And yet, isn't that what the entire diet industry (and much of the supposed "wellness" industry) is selling us? Aren't they selling us the idea that we need to be educated about best foods to eat, or quantities of foods to eat... and then all of our frustrations will be solved?
Oh golly, I wish I'd known sooner that eating two super size bags of chips was unhealthy!
If you're frustrated with your eating and you keep trying to "fix" the problem by addressing nutrition or portion sizes, you're only dealing with the tip of the iceberg.
There are so, so, SO MANY things that influence your eating. Nutrition and portion sizes are only one tiny piece of a massive puzzle.
If you know absolutely nothing about nutrition, then fine, go ahead and learn something. But if you've been banging your head against the "nutrition and portion sizes" wall for months/years/decades, could it be time to try something different?
Could it be time, finally, to explore all of the other, deeper things that are probably influencing your eating?

My guess is that no one told you about all these other, deeper things that are probably influencing your eating. No one told me.
If you're interested in the exploration, I'd love for you to join a Dessert Club. The Dessert Club is an intensive introduction to a more intuitive and integrated way of eating. You'll learn how to eat without needing to worry so much, and most people find that "overeating episodes" become a lot less scary.
In the group, we do some serious soul-searching, have some serious fun, and eat dessert together in every session. Click here to learn more.
I also do individual coaching, if that's more your speed.
