Hypnotherapy & "The Mind of a Caged Dieter"

I am the "Mind of a Caged Dieter".

I am a dietician that has counted proteins, fats, carbohydrates for close on 10 years and before that I have dieted; low fat, no fat, high protein, no mixing of food groups, the list is endless.  I know your plights, I have been there and done that BUT I am finally free from this way of thinking due to a few very important events that happened in my life and I feel I really need to share them with you, here they are:

No.1- Go and see a HIGHLY QUALIFIED & REGISTERED HYPNOTHERAPIST. Some Psychologist use hypnotherapy as a tool for treatment.
No.2.-Read Martha Beck's "4 Day Win" and follow her inspirational advice.
No.3- Understand the importance of nutrition and how it works by either seeing a qualified dietician or  nutritionist.

How did these steps help me:
The hypnotherapy helped me lift the cage for good on dieting. I am no longer obsessed about the next meal, I don't counts Carbs, I eat when I am hungry but this took at least 8 hypnotherapy session.

Learning Martha Beck's tools gave me fabulous ideas on how to stop and listen to my body, allowing my mind and body to work together. I use her work a great deal with my clients and get wonderful results.

And of course,  being a dietician gave me the background knowledge to work with what I know and not to get confused with media overload.

The cage is no way to live, start your journey now.

Processed food...how can we stand it?

I could go down to my local supermarket and buy a custard and jelly that has a 4 month shelf life....hmmmm there is something wrong with this picture.  I make a custard and jelly and its shelf life is 4-6 days, if that.  What gets put into these foods that we buy; preservatives, flavorants, colorants (junk).

I then read an article promoting the use of all this "junk" and the article justified its use.  I am in shock, what future do my children hold in this world where people preach the goodness of "junk". No more I tell you, local is lekker (Term used to state "great" in Afrikaans), fresh is the best and time is of importance to respect the food we eat and the time we take to eat it.
