Frequently Asked Questions

Question: "How does the Loving Yourself Thin program work?"

You will learn to eat like a thin person, without dieting.

If you've been dieting for weight control, the entire idea of going off dieting can be scary and upsetting. The concept of a "non-diet" weight loss program may seem odd to you. It did to me too, at first. But the more I practiced the LYT system, the easier it was.

What you've been going through on diets for years simply creates more frustration and hopelessness…and in order to escape these feelings, you continue to eat.Loving Yourself Thin is the ONLY system that uses Vivation®, a reliable method of resolving the negative emotions that cause overeating.

Once you know the LYT system, you will never go back to dieting again. If you find yourself eating more, and your weight fluctuates, you will look to see what's going on INSIDE you, and practice the LYT system. Ultimately, you will be able to eat the foods you love and stay at your ideal weight.

Q: "Won't I just go crazy and eat everything in sight?"A: If you were holding a pendulum far to one side, and let it go, it would swing wildly to the other side before eventually coming into its normal swing according to gravity. Just as you have been artificially holding yourself back from eating the foods you love and crave, you will eat more of the kinds of foods that were formerly "forbidden" to you. And eventually, when you know you can have whatever you want, you won't eat as much.

Q: "Will I lose weight on this program?"

A: By becoming aware of how you are "using" food to solve problems in your life, and by re-connecting with your natural feelings of hunger and satisfaction, you will begin to eat less. You will easily and naturally lose weight and have the body you want.

Q: "I know I'm allergic to some foods... what if I eat them and have a reaction?"

A: You will learn to take responsibility for your choices. If you know beforehand you will have a reaction, decide in advance what you want to feel more, the food in your mouth and the reaction in your body, or the feeling of well-being that you get by avoiding that food. If you want to experience more well being, your choice might be to forego the food.

Q: "Do I have to eat special foods?"

A: Loving Your Self Thin is not a dietary program. There are no certain foods you must eat, and no foods you CAN'T eat. The focus is on you and your awareness of food, not what you can and can't eat.

Q: "How can this program possibly work?"

A: LYT is a way to heal the underlying feelings and emotions that cause overeating and overweight. Once these negative feelings are resolved, you no longer have to use food to suppress the uncomfortable feelings, or distract yourself from addressing the issues in your life you may have been using food to avoid.
