According to a nationwide poll, 80% of women experience food guilt.

Defy Food Guilt is a virtual program that will dramatically decrease the guilt and shame you feel around the food.

You don't deserve to feel guilt after eating.

It’s no fail every time. You were doing so well sticking to your diet, but then, like a human, you want to live your life.

You smell that cheesy pizza and see the way the crust just bubbles as it’s heating up in the oven. Suddenly, that “just one piece” turns into 2, 3, 4.

You feel ashamed that you’re eating your emotions (along with 49% of Americans), but convince yourself you’ll just start over tomorrow.

These repetitive behaviors cause you to become out of touch.

You gain weight, struggle with feelings of guilt, and feel constantly bloated, sluggish, and lethargic.

You chalk it up to a loss. “Meh, I’ll just start on Monday.”

But you don’t.

You end up feeling disappointed, defeated, and unmotivated because keeping up with the meal prep is just too much to handle.

Let's walk through your relationship with food as you know it now

Breakfast

You're off to a good start with a light breakfast

You eat a small serving of something because you’ve heard breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Or maybe you’ve heard that intermittent fasting is where it’s at right now, so you skip breakfast altogether. Either way, you’re not nourishing your body right but it feels good to restrict and be in control!

Lunch

You eat a salad because "it's the best option"

Midway through the day, you choose a salad. Why? Because diet culture tells you, “Salad is the best option if you want to lose weight!” That combination of greens and veggies is far from satisfying though because you miss out on key nutrients like protein and complex carbs.

Dinner

I'm tired, the kids are exhausted, and we just want something quick

You said you were going to prepare meal XYZ but with how cranky your family members are getting, you entertain the idea of fast food or delivery. You have no energy (hint: because you didn’t nourish your body before now!) so you grab whatever is most convenient. You eat and eat and eat and feel like you can’t stop.

The Snacking

You can't stop reaching for snacks once things are finally calm

Oof. Finally. The family is fed. You kind of ate. The dishes are kind of clean. It’s time for you to relax. Naturally, the only way to do that is to grab a snack. But you know you’re not hungry. You just don’t understand how to actually respect that your body isn’t hungry.

Then Defy Food Guilt is for you!

Learn how to

"Each week’s lesson was more than just 'homework.' It gave me LIFE. I now speak love to myself with affirmations and spend time on daily gratitude. I eat when I’m hungry and I don’t if I’m not. I don’t obsess over numbers of calories or the scale. I literally love me and if I miss a day, I give grace and keep going."

FAQ

Most frequently questions and answers

When does it start and end?

The next cohort will start on April 3. Be sure to sign up now!

What is the weekly commitment?

Each week, we’ll release a lesson for you to watch on your own schedule. Typically these lessons are 15-30 minutes. We also will check-in with you weekly to support you during this program. The check-in’s can take as little as 5 minutes. So we’re talking LESS THAN AN HOUR each week.

How many people are in the program?

We are capping the limit at TEN. We want to make sure to give you the most attention and support that you deserve while in the program.

What's the diet involved?

The creator of this program, Mary-Catherine, is anti-diet culture. This means that we won’t be asking you to count calories, track macros, or restrict what you’re eating. Don’t worry – that pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving fits! Participants will get a voluntary meal plan to follow towards the end of the 8 weeks, once we’ve laid the groundwork.

Will I lose weight on this program?

The focus of this program is helping you develop healthier habits, so you finally break free of that yo-yo dieting cycle. Not to mention, the scale means nothing! Weighing affects our mental health and doesn’t speak to the changes you’re making on a daily basis.

How do I know if this program is for me?

As a general rule of thumb, this program is for you if you

Are tired of feeling stuck and overwhelmed when it comes to food
Struggle to prioritize yourself
Are dealing with stress eating and overwhelm on a daily or even weekly basis
Have a tendency to hop on the next fad diet when January hits, only to be disappointed and defeated
Want to stop obsessing about weight, calories, and macros
Want someone to give you the exact roadmap of what you need to do to master YOUR nutrition

But if you’re still not sure, let’s hop on a good fit call to see if this program is for you!
