any of us routinely make and break - New Year's
resolutions. This year,
you'll be able to keep your healthy
eating resolution, with the help of
the CogniDiet Weight Loss
Programs.
The CogniDiet is a diet without a
diet. Its weight loss programs integrate three proven, science-based
methods: Cognitive Behavioral
Therapy, de-stressing techniques
and, last but not least, healthy nutrition and exercise education. The
CogniDiet programs mantra is: Train
your brain, tame your cravings, and
change for life.
Founder Veronique Cardon
explains that her programs are not
about dieting.
They are about changing behavior
when it comes to diet, stress and
exercise. This is the only way to
keep weight off in the long run. Diets
do not work.
M
Three CogniDiet Weight Loss
Programs are offered in groups or
one on ones:
• 12-week program - It takes 12
weeks to learn new skills and rewire
your brain to behave differently
when meeting temptations. People
have lost up to 25 pounds in 12
weeks.
• Four-week sugar detox program
- Participants eliminate sugar and
white carbohydrates from their diet.
People have lost up to 12 pounds in
four weeks!
• Six-week program - This program is ideal for those who have hit
a weight loss plateau, who have
regained some previously lost weight
or who just want to get back on
track.
It is recommended to attend this
program one on one.
Participants in CogniDiet Weight
Loss Programs experience a 95 percent success rate. Here's what 50year-old Susan, a personal trainer
from Princeton, said of the sugar
detox program: "I learned so much
in four short weeks, more than simply what to eat or not eat. This class
really got behind the cognitive choices we make and why. ... All this in
four short weeks!"
Cardon said the reason the
CogniDiet Weight Loss Programs
are so successful is because "they
teach you the relationships between
your body and the foods you eat.
You will not count calories; there
are no food restrictions and no
points to count or processed foods
to buy.
The programs are designed to
train your brain to make the right
decisions when choosing what to
eat.
The CogniDiet is great for anyone
who has previously failed at dieting."
New CogniDiet™ sessions are
beginning in January. For more information, visit http://thecognidiet.com
