Fat is much more flavoursome.” “I developed the missing piece in the weight loss puzzle.” “For 20 years I actually struggled with an eating disorder myself.” “Neuroslimming basically teaches people to feed their spirit not starve their body.” “80% of visits to the doctor are stress related in one or another.” “People just do not understand just how toxic ultra processed food it.” “Every 1% in our consumption of ultra processed food, as a percentage of our daily calories, increases our risk of cancer by 1.2% and increases our risk of Type 2 Diabetes by 1.5%.” “What is a food? A food is something that leads to growth, repair, nourishment and healing.” “We really need to be telling ourselves that whatever I am eating is nourishing not punishing.” “Start asking questions rather than making statements.” “Get into the habit everyday of giving yourself a clap not a slap.” “Our beliefs have a physical effect on our body.”
