Loving Your Sacred Vessel

Loving Your Sacred Vessel

Loving Your Sacred Vessel is a mind body spirit approach to caring for your body and freeing yourself from the diet trap. You'll be learning kinder and healthier ways to think about yourself and your food. This is an holistic approach based on my own journey from yo-yo dieter battling obesity to being lighter and happier in my body. It is for those who want to call 'time up' on dieting and try something gentle and sustainable instead. Loving Your Sacred Vessel is a lifestyle, not a diet. Disclaimer: Please note that this approach may not be appropriate for you if you are suffering from an eating disorder or a medical condition. If you are uncertain please seek medical advice before making dietary or lifestyle changes. laurendsilva.substack.com

Perhaps you turn to food when you are not physically hungry. You aren't alone if you do this, it is really common. It's often called 'comfort eating' but I think a better description would be 'discomfort eating' as it is an attempt to suppress an uncomfortable feeling. It may work briefly as a tactic for a momentary fix, but it tends to lead to more unhappiness long term. In this episode I suggest ways...

Humans haven't changed a lot genetically since the 70s, so why were most people a healthy weight when I was growing up? Now people in the healthy weight range are in the minority. Around two thirds of us fall into the overweight or obese categories. 70s people weren't running on willpower to stay slim and we haven't lost all our moral fibre over the decades! 

There are lots of factors which contribute to the obesity e...

In this episode I'll be talking about diets. I'll be sharing some of my own diet history and my frustration as each successive diet became less effective and my weight increased over time.

I'm asking if you have a similar history of weight loss and weight gain. It may be time to ponder your dieting history and think about all the conflicting advice you have followed over the years. Where has all this dieting effort le...
