Craving Change

Craving Change™ provides cognitive-behavioural tools, activities and strategies that address the universal struggle to change problematic and emotional eating behaviours. The thought-provoking, 'how-to' approach focuses on the 'why' of eating behaviour and what to do about it.

Developed by a clinical psychologist and registered dietitian, Craving Change™ is delivered by thousands of clinicians working in a variety of settings across Canada and internationally.

What people are saying

I feel the most important outcomes of the Craving Change™ program may well be a person’s feeling of control over his/her food choices, improvement in frequency of negative self-talk, and fewer negative emotions about the relationship with food. As a dietitian, I feel that I would have been more effective in the past had I had this resource.

~ Carla Beer-Carpenter, RD, Vancouver Island

Shah and Cannon are credible professionals leading the charge to help people make and maintain healthy eating behaviour changes. Using "best evidence", they have developed a smart and appealing program that could help millions of people make healthier choices more often.

~ Michael Vallis, PhD, CDHA Behaviour Change Institute, Associate Professor, Dalhousie University

As a business owner, I rave about Craving Change™! My staff is able to pick up the materials and run with them, and our clients love it. I also incorporate the unique cognitive behavioural principles and tools into the work I do as a consultant. Craving Change™ is adaptable, creative, and practical- what a bonus to my business.

~ Andrea Holwegner, BSc, RD, Counselling Practice Director & Professional Speaker Health Stand Nutrition Consulting Inc
