The biggest diet wrecker and how to combat it
Recently I was invited by the Biggest Loser Club to feature in a video interview about how to overcome non-hungry eating, along with Dr Tim Sharp (aka Dr Happy).This video was produced by the Biggest Loser Club to help support their members. The video is now available free online to everyone, so I'm sending you a link for inspiration.
In this 12-minute video, Dr Happy and myself will share ideas and strategies to help you to:
- Be more mindful when you eat, thereby making it easier for you to eat only when you feel hungry and to stop eating before you feel overfull.
- Overcome the fear of hunger, so that you can happily wait until you feel comfortably and physically hungry before eating.
- Create a more satisfying life, so that eating becomes something you do only when your hunger alerts you to it.
Over to you
Here's something you can do immediately to put these ideas into action.One of the best strategies to help you learn to eat only when you're hungry is to get involved in activities that will absorb you and take your mind off food.
Take some time out to think about your own interests and what would give you a sense of achievement and satisfaction.
Whatever it is, just do it.
Have a wonderful month, and I look forward to seeing you at one of my live workshops soon. To register for this month's workshop in Perth, click here.

What our readers say...
"hi amanda, I bought your book couple of days back, and now that ive finished it, i want to say thank you and share my experience so that it can help others in this "once-exhausting" journey towards maintaining one's weight. I have been in australia for the past 3 years. During my first 4 months, i had put on 10 kg. I went back to my home country, exercised, ate properly and lost these extra kilos. However, for the last 3 years i have been struggling to maintain my weight . I have never really been overweight , and during my the past three years my weight has been fluctuating from 55 to 60 kg. the funny thing is that everytime i would go back home to be on holidays, i just would not understand how come i lost weight while eating everything i wanted. When ill come back to australia, although ill diet more than i use to at home durings my holiday, although ill exercise like crazy here in australia, i would still put on some weight. i first thought that it might have something to do with the food at home and the food in australia. I also thought that it might have something to do with the weather or climate or even temperature. However, after reading your book, i understandd what it was all about. The answer was that went i went home for holidays, ill just forget about dieting, and ill just eat the proper food whenever ill feel like, and ill eat the amount i felt like, so as to feel just satisfied or "elegantly" satisfied. i went back home over the summer holidays, for 3 months, and lost weight. I came back and bought your book and got all my answers for all the questions ive been asking myself for the past 3 years. I just want to say thank you, and i hope that this message might help others. "
