\nDiscover the benefits of this innovative approach to weight management and re-discovering the joy of eating.\u00a0 This 10-week program uses mind-body practices (meditation and yoga), the principles of mindful and intuitive eating, skills training, and group support to guide you in making lifestyle changes that will help you create a healthier relationship to your food, mind, and body. If you have a history of chronic dieting, have rigid \u201chealthy\u201d rules about eating, or find yourself eating when you\u2019re stressed, bored, or unhappy, this may be the program for you.\u00a0 This non-judgmental, non-diet approach helps you use your internal physical cues to guide what and when you eat.

    \u201cEFL has been a transformational experience\u2026my relationship to food has changed dramatically.\u00a0 I actually think about food much less than before — now it’s rarely on my mind until I begin to experience hunger.\u00a0 And I am savoring\u00a0my food infinitely more\u2026EFL embodies an intuitive, gracious approach to living, and I am captivated by the gentleness and kindness inherent in\u00a0the process.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n

    –Linda Dyer<\/p>\n

    \u201cIt is amazing that 10 weeks have gone past\u2026I will use the “make peace with food” for a long time to come, that has been the most successful tip. I don’t have forbidden food, or food that is “bad”. I can have it just in the quantity that will satisfy\u2026I thank you for the insight and the motivation.\u00a0 You have made this a successful experience that has changed my life.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
