What others have said about the mindful eating & stress management programs…

“Dr. Wieliczko’s mindful eating workshop opened my eyes to a lot of aspects of mindful eating and I will continue to work on going forward.”

“I completed Dr. Wieliczko's eight week program and I cannot say enough good things about it. I can really see a positive change in my relationship with food and how I deal with stress. I loved the program - both the content and the way Dr. Wieliczko presented it.  I strongly recommend the program and mindful eating to anyone struggling with food issues. I feel transformed in such a positive way.I gave myself permission to focus on myself. I learned to be less judgmental about myself and to just let it go."

“This course has been instrumental in helping me after bariatric surgery, slowing me down and making me think about what’s happening in my body. I feel more capable of reading the signs and following the lead my body is telling me.”

“Learning to be more aware of my eating, how it tastes and more aware of my thoughts.”

“I really liked this program and already see an impact on the way I eat and approach food. The concept of experience eating, rather than just eating has made me desire better food-quality. I’ve noticed how things taste and noticed that things I ate ‘automatically’ in the past actually don’t taste good and I no longer desire them. I hope I can keep going because I really like the way this feels to my body.”

“This program has made me look at eating in a whole different manner.  Your reference materials upon "graduation" are very helpful.  I found two of the books (you recommended) at the library and a useful website using the principles and sharing info from other practitioners on mindful eating and meditation, including meditating while walking.

     Following the guidelines of mindful eating has helped me to make good food choices. I enjoy food more yet eat less because of the habits I have learned to eat slowly and take notice of my hunger. This has helped me to eat less and consequently lose weight without dieting. The lessons are powerful and I highly recommend this program."
