Megan Weber, RD CDE with Country Roads Community Health Centre, has been leading Craving Change workshops and using the program techniques and resources in her practice for over a decade. Her personal observations highlight the sustained benefit of teaching clients cognitive-behavioural skills.
“It’s still surprising to me how hard it is for all of us (myself included) to build our mental muscles and to change our thinking habits. Cognitive restructuring is a lifelong practice that can pay off every day along the way.”
“The benefits of the CBT-based Craving Change approach are immense. After completing the program, clients report improved relationships with food, reduced emotional eating with reduced guilt and shame, and improved self-awareness and self-efficacy. It’s a great program that is almost always very well received and gets people talking, learning from each other, and practicing practical skills – not only each week between sessions, but reportedly for years afterward.”
