I first found out about Elyse on an online search on meal planning, and I found her blog “5 Good Reasons Why Meal Planning Doesn’t Work“, and I was smitten. This girl gets it! In the blog she plays out a conversation between a client and her client’s friend about weight loss:
“So…. Have you lost any weight,” asks the friend?
Linda (client): “Nope… but I’m not counting. I have gained A LOT however!”
Friend: “What do you mean you’ve gained – when you go to a nutritionist you’re supposed to lose!”
Linda: “Not the case – always. Elyse has taught me skills for life and that’s what I’ve gained. I’m able to make choices and decisions about my food and how I eat so I don’t binge anymore, eat emotionally or deny myself of food which often triggers me to overeat and ultimately gain weight.”
I’ll let you read the rest of the blog. I immediately signed up for Elyse’s email list and a little while later reached out to have her on the podcast. I highly recommend checking out her blog: My Kitchen Shrink.
