Non-Diet Approach

Traditional dieting focuses on restriction and calorie counting. This can build a negative relationship with food and is often counter productive to weight management.

The Non-Diet Approach steers clear of diet culture and aims to build a positive relationship with food, body and mind. By choosing to focus on what to eat rather than what not to eat you can improve your relationship with food and nutrition outcomes.

You might be a good candidate for the Non-Diet Approach if you:

  • Would like to improve your relationship with food

  • Feel anxious and stressed about dieting

  • Feel you have a poor relationship with your body

  • Struggle with weight management
