What if you could trust yourself around food?

October 2, 2018 by Carolyn Coffin

Trust

Last week I talked about some of the (many!) reasons why diets don’t work.

A huge pattern I’ve noticed is that people do not trust themselves around food. 

They believe that if left to their own devices they would begin eating and never stop.

This reinforces the need for someone — an expert, a coworker, a friend — to tell them what and when and how much to eat.

I was like this for many years. I felt downright out-of-control around food, like my hunger was completely insatiable. [Read more…]

For every diet there is an equal and opposite binge

Have you ever wondered why diets don’t work?

Diets don’t work because they assume that the reason people are overweight is because they lack willpower. And that’s simply not true.

If we lacked willpower, nobody would have ever lost a pound on a diet.

Diets don’t work because they assume that we can’t trust ourselves. [Read more…]

  • Garry C.Garry C.Lifelong runner

    For years I tried to sift through all of the conflicting and confusing information about what and when to eat and drink in order to be a faster, healthier long-distance runner – but it always left me frustrated.

    With Carolyn’s simple, easy-to-follow, and sustainable approach, I’m finally running without pain in my joints (for the first time in years!) as I attempt to qualify for the Boston Marathon at 60 years of age. And the bonus is that I’ve lost weight!

    Thanks for your commitment to my success with running and overall health.

  • Kim C.

    I was surprised by how easy the program was and how fast my cravings disappeared. Out of everything I have done or read, eating real food makes the most sense to me.

  • Carrie R.Dental Hygienist

    Week 1 provided the encouragement to get started and the science behind the Why's. Thanks for a great program! You not only live what you teach but you do it with such passion and support.

  • Marilyn R.Retired Business Owner

    This course has transformed my life! My SI joint stopped hurting and I feel amazing. The whole program has really clicked for me and it all makes perfect sense and is very doable. I thank you both for sharing your knowledge. Thank-you for guiding me to a healthier way of eating.

  • Laurie T.Material Analyst

    This is my lifestyle now. Since day 3 hunger pains left and I have never felt hungry or deprived since. This has completely changed my need for food. Not feeling like I just need something to eat NOW and making very poor choices is allowing me to fuel my body properly, not just make the hunger go away.

  • Darlene B.Manager

    ERFA has changed the way I look at, think about, and prepare food.

  • Ed J.Police Officer

    I've had more results in this short time than years in the gym. I feel great and not constantly hungry anymore. I have been receiving many compliments regarding how fit and strong I look.

  • Skye H.S.Speech Language Pathologist

    I have had dramatic changes in my health in the last 6 months following this program. I used to suffer from significant PMS symptoms including bloating, sugar cravings, and mood swings. I now don't have ANY of those symptoms and the bonus has been that I have lost quite a bit of weight.

  • Marisa D.College Professor

    I have learned how much sugar and simple carbs really affect me emotionally, physically, and mentally.

  • Candace P.Chiropractic Assistant

    Carolyn's style of coaching has real density. The changes I made to improve my health and fitness are meaningful and sustainable, thanks to her process. Working with Carolyn has significantly changed my life for the better.

  • James T.Manager in Healthcare

    From the depths of total diet confusion and frustration, and inches from the acceptance of ultimate defeat, Carolyn guided me through a journey of fundamental behavioural modification, and helped me to reset my preconceived beliefs about food and how it affects my body and mind.

    The result? A net 50 lb weight loss (and counting), and the establishment of a self-management platform securely in place for lifelong sustainability.

    The true result? The discovery of self-control, high self-esteem, and a new wardrobe.

    I'm forever grateful.

  • Mary Joan B. – MSW, RSW

    You are both brilliant women with so much passion and knowledge to share. Thank you for creating such a powerful program. I feel like I have done every “diet” out there, but eating real food is the real deal. And with so many tasty things to eat, I haven’t felt deprived at all. It has been a great journey.
