Diet and Exercise Aren’t Enough

When you’re ready to get off the merry-go-round of fad diets, failures and disappointments, you’re ready to TAME your appetite. TAME will allow you to eat mindfully, stop using food as an emotional crutch, and rediscover the joys of dining well.

Diets don’t work because they don’t help you change your lifestyle. When you’re ready to change your daily habits, for the rest of your life, participate in one of our programs and learn how to eat in a mindful way, every day.

Change How You Think About Eating

If food has become more than a source of energy for you, if you use it to cope with feelings or provide entertainment, it’s time to change your relationship with food and eating. Learn how to do that with our TAME Your Appetite Programs.

It’s time for you to learn mindfulness and mindful eating.

Are you tired of gaining and losing the same pounds? Are you weary of starting yet another diet? Would you like a chance to change your relationship with food using a new approach based on both science and age-old wisdom? If yes, it’s time for you to learn the art of mindful eating.

Mindful eating does not focus on weight loss per se, but rather on becoming more aware of patterns of inappropriate eating, and provides tools for making sustainable changes in these patterns. It is a non-diet approach, designed to increase mindful awareness of experiences related to eating and to decrease mindlessness and unhealthy habits.

Based on a foundation of daily mindful meditation, our mindfulness-based eating program, TAME Your Appetite: The Art of Mindful Eating, teaches you a new way of relating to yourself, your food, your eating and your body.

You will learn to balance your eating and experience true culinary delight and satisfaction.

As a result, you will find that you choose quality over quantity, enjoy food more, eat less, and end the cycle of deprivation, overeating, and guilt.

As you gradually shift away from your current eating habits into healthy mindful ones, TAME Your Appetite becomes your path to peace with food and freedom from emotional overeating. You will go from policing yourself to honoring yourself. From mindlessly reacting to mindfully responding.

Weight loss is an inevitable by-product of naturally eating less food, which happens as you become more mindful of your choices, sense of fullness and taste satisfaction. By creating new day-to-day patterns of eating less food and sustaining these new patterns indefinitely into the future, your body will find its natural right weight. In time your weight will reflect what is right for you.

So, if you are tired of yet another round of diets, make a commitment to mindful-based eating and once and for all, TAME Your Appetite.

… Stop…Breathe…Be Mindful…
