On Monday night we successfully installed 12 virtual gastric band's in my office. 12 participants have now embarked on a trial program that will see them eat less, drop weight, and live healthier lives without the need for drastic diets or surgery. We also explored food addiction, why it is we feel compelled to eat tubby foods, and why we eat to soothe.
Of particular interest was one gentleman who had originally signed up for gastric bypass surgery, but was convinced otherwise after meeting with people who had "successfully" undergone the procedure. In his opinion although many of them had lost weight, they were less healthy, in his opinion, than if they'd not had the surgery.
Most people were optimistic about the endeavour, and we're all certainly excited to see how it turns out.
More as the trial unfolds..

For Christmas this year I got a new pant.. size. I'm pretty sure what Mr. Claus has on his back there is a bag full of regret. I, however, enjoyed my holiday binge and am looking forward to getting back into shape.
If any of you feel the same, you may be interested in a new approach to the age old weight loss conundrum. A colleague Julia Andersen (a clinical hypnotherapist) and I have put together a FREE program for 12 people that incorporates a "virtual gastric band" and a naturopathic approach to safe and effective weight loss. We'll explore why we tend to overeat, use food for comfort, and provide a blueprint for getting you to the shape you want. We'll meet on Monday evenings for 8 sessions between January 9th and March 12th.

Perhaps you'll be one of the lucky few who get to partake!
Until then,
