PHILOSOPHY FOR JOYFUL WEIGHT LOSS
... and experience BEHAVIORAL TRANSFORMATION
Message from Dr. Lichtash
The more complex your issues with weight and eating seem to you, the more strongly I encourage us to work together.
A lifetime can be spent battling emotional and physical hunger.
Battling your hunger is a losing strategy. Our work together is about building and adopting a philosophy around food and eating that is transformative and joyful.
How much of your precious focus is consumed by thoughts relating to food and your weight?
The most common answer my patients give is 60-80%. Imagine no longer being consumed by these worries or concerns. Our work together is meant to free you from the shackles of your weight issues.
Binge eating or compulsive overeating can be healed.
Compulsive overeating or binge eating are deeply painful and unsettling behaviors. They do not reflect indulgence, gluttony, or an abundance of joy, but rather a powerful pathway of emotional hunger that always leads to a painful dead-end. Healing from these behaviors is liberating and life-transformative, and it begins with the essential clarity gleaned within a structured and supportive program.
This process is about restoring joy in eating while optimizing your weight and metabolic health.
Working with your biology in this journey means that you should expect to emerge from it with a more perfect and refined sense of joy from food than that with which you entered. It means that the process must enhance your experience of joy from food, as it guides you to lose weight.
