The Food Philosophy will show you how to lose weight, feel genuine choice and control around food and set yourself free from overeating for the rest of your life.
Here's a post from the Food Philosophy forum (our virtual classroom). One of the course members who is well on her way out of the overeating trap decided that she needed to let off some steam.
I read week 3 part with interest his week. I also laughed out loud in several places - and thought that this (about the diet industry) really hits the nail on the head. There will always be someone to make money out of other people's misery and fear and we let them - in fact we actively encourage it!!
I think it's very easy for the diet industry to hang it's hat on the obesity label. This focuses all attention away from them and lays the blame squarely on the shoulders of the fat and greedy obese population - It's their own fault - "I know, we'll help them by producing low-fat/low-sugar/no-taste alternatives - win win - aren't we nice and accommodating" - pats on back all round...not!
What the industry should be focusing on is what makes people obese in the first place - shouldn't we really be pointing the finger at these self same companies for perpetuating the problem by marketing their products in such a way that we feel fat/greedy/undesirable/failures? Shouldn't we be regulating the weight-loss industry to make sure they are accountable for the weight-loss products/services they offer? Shouldn't there be evidence-based data to prove that they are helping to solve the problem that causes excess weight in the first place, not just publishing short-term weight loss results (god they don't even talk about fat loss they talk about weight loss as a whole!)? Shouldn't programmes like The Food Philosophy be available on prescription?
Sorry rant over but needed/wanted to get this down so I can look at it when I want and remind myself of why I'm taking the path I'm taking.
The Food Philosophy does provoke all sorts of feelings, including shock, surprise, euphoria and as you can see from the above post, anger and rebellion.
Every day I feel privileged to have so many fantastic and intelligent women to talk to on such an interesting subject. I invite anyone to chat on here or if you email me. I can help you out of the overeating trap. I really can!
