Lauren Rose, a dietitian with the Mount Sinai Academic Family Health Team, described how, due to Covid, her team adapted the Craving Change program to meet their clients’ needs: “Especially since the pandemic, the need has increased for supports around emotional and challenging eating behaviour. We modified Craving Change to be a virtually-led workshop and found it helpful to use the slides and worksheets to a greater degree than in our previous in-person groups. We have had to adapt to those … [Read more...] about Adapt and Carry On

It really helps clients who describe themselves as ‘emotional or comfort eaters’ identify areas of priority for their … [Read more...] about Types of Hunger – Our Top Tool
Who said men won’t relate to Craving Change?
Early on in the development of Craving Change, we received feedback that a program addressing emotional eating wouldn't appeal to men. In fact, this has never been the case as men absolutely attend and participate in Craving Change programs. This was highlighted recently in comments that we received from dietitian Alia El Kubbe at St. Joseph's Health Centre in London, Ontario: "I did a virtual group Craving Change session as part of our hospital’s cardiac rehab program. The group ranged from 40 … [Read more...] about Who said men won’t relate to Craving Change?

Eating Conversations with Kids
The Craving Change children's book, 'Is this stomach, mouth or heart hunger?' is meeting a need in many pediatric clinics. We receive consistent feedback that the story is a great tool for starting a conversation with a child about their eating. Initially, eating behaviours can be discussed in the third-person referring to the book's character, Moe. The story also presents vocabulary that can be used by children, parents and health care providers when discussing eating behaviours. The appendix … [Read more...] about Eating Conversations with Kids
