Clinicians and clients love Craving Change!
“A focus on self-awareness and cognitive behavioural strategies is essential for successful, long term behaviour change. Cannon and Shah have brilliantly translated theory into simple, ready-to-use tools that will help your clients change life-long eating habits.”
Arya M. Sharma, MD, FRCPC
Chair in Obesity Research and Management, University of Alberta
“Changing lifelong eating patterns can be challenging! Cannon and Shah translate psycho-educational strategies into practical exercises you can use to help your clients understand the complexities of food cravings and get the ‘power’ back in their willpower.”
Charlotte Jones, PhD, MD
Endocrinologist
“A valuable resource for clinicians working in a neglected area. Craving Change™ is attractively laid out, coherently presented, and evidence-based. It should be a welcome addition to a great many health care agencies and services.”
Randy Paterson, Ph.D.,R.Psych.
Director, Changeways Clinic
“This ideal skill mix of dietitian and psychologist provides simple, yet powerful concepts that assist in building clients’ eating self-efficacy.”
Kerry Wakefield, Bariatric Clinical Practice Consultant, Central Adelaide Local Health Network
“The resources exceeded my expectations. Thorough and explicit, and very organized. You thought of everything!”
Shannon Lee Kearney, RN

“I love delivering this program! It is so well done that there is little that I have to do except say what is in the manual. The discussions from the participants are really the best part, though. It is amazing when some people have epiphanies and can make significant changes in their lives!”
Claire Lightfoot, RD
Campbell River Hospital
“Helping clients understand why they eat the way they do is an essential step in their path toward healthier eating. Craving Change™ provides creative activities that will stimulate this discovery. The Ah-ha moments are powerful!”
Beverly Whitmore, BSc, RD, MBA
Author of “Vitality & Vitals”
“We ran our first Craving Change™ workshop yesterday and it went great!!! The clients were really soaking up the info and discussions – so many lightbulbs turned on. I am inspired by your work in creating and implementing this program. Thanks to you both for making this program available and running such an excellent training!”
Giovanni Ianoco, MSW, RSW
South East Toronto Family Health Team
“I’ve been using a lot of the ideas from Craving Change™ in individual and group counselling. The patients are able to go away with key take-home messages that are easily implemented into their lives (like Stomach / Mouth / Heart Hunger and Riding the Craving Wave). Thanks for the wonderful resource.”
Nicola Day, RD
The Weight Management Clinic, The Ottawa Hospital
“Participants seem to like the ‘types of hunger’ idea and immediately understand the different definitions and integrate the idea into their awareness of their appetite.”
Michelle Jospe, PhD Candidate University of Otago, New Zealand
“The materials are comprehensive and easy to follow, with user-friendly language and interesting examples and anecdotes! The facilitators were very relaxed, friendly, humorous – also well-prepared, organized and effective presenters.”
Judy Halassy, SW
