 A word from figureate...
Healthy eating is generally not rocket science. You probably already have a general idea of the foods you should be eating to improve your health or lose weight. Therefore, the issue is often not what you are eating but why you choose to eat what you do and until this is dealt with, you may find it difficult to make long-term dietary changes. It is also for this reason that diets don’t work. Diets only deal with what are you eating rather than the reasons why. This is where we can help you... Dealing with the reasons why you eat the way you do, involves behaviour modification and an understanding of where your behaviours stem from. To help you with this, Zoe and Marlene have been trained in Health Coaching techniques by Health Coaching Australia. Zoe has also had training in ACT (acceptance and commitment therapy). - Health coaching uses evidence-based psychological, counseling and coaching principles and techniques to assist people to achieve long-term behaviour change. Visit Health Coaching Australia at http://www.healthcoachingaustralia.com/ to find out more.
- ACT is an evidence-based psychology approach which focuses on helping you deal with the sometimes unpleasant throughts and feelings that are often a part of your weight loss journey and that can sabotage your efforts. ACT helps you identify your values - what is truly important and meaningful to you - and uses that knowledge to motivate you to make change.
