Calling A Truce With Food Group Program

The 4 Steps to Make Peace With Food & End Self-Sabotage to Lose Weight Organically


Have you struggled with weight loss to the point where you hate food but love to overeat?

Is your body talking back to you with insults like lagging energy, crazy mood swings and bloating that won’t budge?

Have you tried every diet and are tired of the following “Toxic stew with excess weight, frustration and suffocating self-worth” recipe:

1.    Try new diet
2.    Succeed for 2-3 weeks
3.    Get bored, tired of obsessing about food or feel trapped by the restrictions
4.    Fall of the wagon
5.    Berate and convince yourself you are destined to a life of hating your body
6.    Repeat for leftovers

If successful weight loss were a rationale process that only involved counting calories, anyone who passed fifth grade math would be at their goal weight.
Conventional diets ignore simple food principles and that women are multi-dimensional.

For successful and sustainable weight loss, you need to be nourished on all three levels: body, mind and soul.

Enter the “Calling A Truce With Food” program. In this program, Health Coach Ali Shapiro will guide you through the process of how to balance your body, use your emotions to your advantage and begin to create a life you want to be attractive for (that’s the life that feeds your spirit).

During this program, you’ll discover:

1.   What foods your body needs for balance
2.   How to fit these foods into an on-the-go lifestyle
3.   The food/mood connection
4.   How to deconstruct your personal cravings
5.   Your own food philosophy and how to rewire your beliefs to support your goals
6.   How to end self-sabotage
7.   Where your dieting willpower should be focused
8.   The two biggest pitfalls that blindside all career dieters – and how to overcome them
9.   What you want in an ideal life
10. The strengths you already have but are under-utilizing and how to use them to achieve the life you’ve always hoped for

If you are struggling with weight loss, it’s because you haven’t been given the whole story
. What would a $40 billion per year dieting industry do if you succeeded? Your failures are their cash cows.  You have enough will power. You have enough discipline. It’s just directed in the wrong places.

The key to losing weight organically is to determine what is missing on a physical, mental and/or spiritual level. Yet many of us have a hard time determining these needs because weight loss has been our sole focus for so long (It took me 15 years to figure this out! I've designed this program to save your time, money and sanity). Our bodies are out of balance, preventing the calm and clarity needed to figure out the missing pieces.   The “Calling a Truce With Food Program” will provide you with the initial answers you need and keep you on the path to discovering everything you need to lose weight organically.

Come join Ali and other like-minded women for this insightful and inspiring workshop series. Each workshop will include group participation and exercises designed to help you achieve your weight loss goals.

Special note:  This program isn’t for everyone. If you think there’s one more dieting stone left un-turn or you're trying to lose 10 pounds in one month, there are tons of better options out there for you.

This program is for those women who are truly exhausted from dieting and are open to the road less traveled. They are ready to replace judgment with curiosity and understand what their bodies are telling them. I’ve taken hundreds of women through this process, including myself. Those that achieve the results then want with my approach are the ones who are ready to take sometime to understand their bodies and lives…not those on a weight loss deadline.

Details of the 4-week “Calling a Truce With Food” program*:

Week 1 (April 6): Balance Your Body


Without a calm and balanced body, you lack the clarity to understand what your body needs. Yet many of us don’t trust our bodies signals because well, our body feels bloated and broken-down. We’re always hungry, exhausted or craving sugar.  But once you start feeding your body properly, you will experience yourself coming back to life. Real life. What it should be.

During this class, we’ll discuss:

1. The food/mood connection
2. How to discover what foods work best for your body
3. How to fit the healing foods you need into your life

Week 2 (April 13): Free Your Mind


Once you come back to the land of the living (it’s a small but growing group!), it’s time to investigate your beliefs around food and how to discern what your body and mind really need when they think, “F %^* it. I’m going for the chocolate. And lots of it.” 

During this class, we’ll discuss:

1. The questions that will unlock the food philosophy you are operating under
2. The three types of cravings and how to deconstruct yours
3. An action plan for being in control of these cravings

Week 3 (April 20): End Self-Sabotage

You’re grooving along. Feeling good physically, more aware mentally and boom. You start with one “cheat”. It turns into two and pretty soon, your mood and weight loss have spiraled downward. To the pits.  You’re smart, accomplished and disciplined in all other areas of your life – where is your willpower now?

During this class, we’ll discuss:

1. Where your willpower should be focused and the one question that will help you uncover your answer
2. Becoming aware of the two biggest pitfalls that prevent all career dieters from reaching their goal weight
3. An action plan for patching up theses pitfalls

Week 4 (April 27): Connect with Your Ideal


Now you understand how to fire on all cylinders and avoid the self-sabotage exit. To keep your weight loss going, you’ll need a life you are excited about. One that feeds your mind and spirit. What does that life look like and what are the travel plans to arrive?

During this class, we’ll:

1.    Develop a vision for this life
2.    Discover your unique strengths and values that will be needed to create this life
3.    An action plan to fill in the gaps from where you are today to where you are going  

*Each week builds upon the last so you cannot attend just one workshop. If you have to miss one of the workshops, you will receive all the information, hand-outs and exercises for that missed workshop. For this program to be effective, you’ll need to understand each step. There will be “homework” after each workshop so you maximize your progress.

Testimonials

I was searching for a nutritionist. Yet, I could not find one that I had a good feeling about.  I had dieted all my life.  How was I going to break this bad habit of yo-yo dieting? As fate would have it, I met Ali after a yoga class and started with her two days later.

I was overweight, tired all the time, high cholesterol and overall not living the healthy life I wanted to live.  After my first meeting with Ali, she had me feeling hopeful.  Within less than 2 months I had lost about 17 lbs, learned to eat right and never had that “I’m so overly stuffed feeling again”. 

Working with Ali's approach, I learned which foods to eat to keep me satisfied. I was not longer thinking about food all day-it was so freeing. My health was better, my sleep was better, life was just better! I have never been on a diet again. Ali changed my life.  She always has such a way of uplifting and inspiring me.

~ J.A. Philadelphia, PA

I have been dieting since I was 10.  I have tried every approach to weight loss available and was more confused and frustrated about food than ever.  After attending an information session about Emotional Eating with Ali, I was impressed by her common sense approach.  More than anything, I longed for the simplicity of her approach to food.  

I always looked forward to my meetings with Ali.  She was always upbeat and encouraging, even when I was second-guessing myself and focusing on the negative.  I loved the simplicity of Ali’s approach to food and eating: more greens, more water, pay attention to what goes into your body.  I loved when I started to by-pass the newest diet books on the shelves and skipped over the articles on the latest weight loss secrets.  How could they know more than what I already knew?  With Ali, I embraced the simple truths of taking care of myself: take time for yourself, eat whole foods, drink water, rest, do what you love most.

As a result of working with Ali,  I have made peace with food.  (Part of me wants to shout this from the rooftops!)  Pasta no longer calls to me from the fridge late at night. I’ve ended my love hate relationship with bagels I crave greens.  When I started to eat more whole foods, my body started to regulate.  The more healthy foods I ate, the more I craved.  My body felt so good, there was no way I could fill myself up with foods that made me feel sluggish and weighed down.  I learned what real “health foods” are, and here’s a hint: they aren’t labeled “Light” and marketed in women’s magazines.  They can be found at the farmers’ market with no packaging at all.

I also learned that my body reacted badly to gluten.  After cutting gluten out of my diet, my crippling PMS went away.  My PMS would sometimes last 2 weeks and was an emotional rollercoaster.  I figured it was just something I had to live with.  Well, that is no longer the case and I can’t tell you what residual changes this has made in my life.  Suffice to say, my poor husband is thrilled.

And this one is my favorite:  I have found the courage to leave a job that was toxic and limiting.  I have turned a corner in my life and am about to pursue a career that is more in line with my outlook and desires.  

I have always loved food, but my relationship with food has been tumultuous.  For anyone who knows what I mean by having a tumultuous relationship with food, being able to truly be at peace with it is life changing.  I no longer look at food as the delicious, tantalizing enemy and my hunger as the beast that needs to be tamed. J I’ve embraced my love of cooking, I welcome healthy foods into my house, I take pride in feeding my family healthy food that I’ve prepared myself.  I crave foods that genuinely make me feel good.  I can’t overstate how this has changed my life.  

Also, there are so many things that contributed to my being overweight that had NOTHING to do with food!  Ali and I got to the bottom of these things and I’ve started to make changes in my life and health for the better including leaving a terrible job.  I find that I have much more energy to give to the people in my family and community after I take the time to care for myself.  I am calmer.  I am kinder.  I am more adventurous.  I trust myself. (And I thought at the outset that we were just going to talk about calories!)  

Thank you, Ali, for all you have done for me.  Our time together was life-changing for me. You’re the best.
