I've been busy designing a Weight Loss and Food Cravings flier which I've finally completed and taken to the print shop today.
New Year weight loss programmes are big business! I've been studying the market for a while now and keep coming to the same conclusion - any given diet will only work for certain people long term. If they don't have many deeply ingrained negative beliefs around food and their body then they probably will keep the weight off. I know one or two people like this – but they are few and far between.
Why would a diet work for some and not for others? Because one size (or diet) doesn't fit all. Not every body type is suited to the same food. For example, following the Ayurveda principle, eating more brocolli, cabbage and cauliflower in your diet wouldn't be recomended if your constitution is mainly Vata dosha (thin boned) even though these vegetables are classed as health foods. The reason for this is that they produce gas and bloating and will aggravate your dosha.
How many of us have given up chocolate and swore we would never touch another piece only to tuck into a whole bar at the first signs of stress?
This is where EFT can help. It allows us to understand our negative beliefs around food and how we think about our bodies. It also gets rid of the anxiety we feel before we dive into a box of chocolates or take the packet of biscuits out of the cupboard.
My next Weight Loss and Food Cravings workshop takes place here in sunny Brighton on Saturday 31st January 10am to 3pm. It's at Anahata health Clinic, BN2 0JL and costs £45 (£38 concessionary rate). 01273 241204 or 07533 991731 www.emoshift.com
EFT is such a handy tool to have around when we feel stressed because the tapping really does work. The biscuits stay in the cupboard and the chocolate in the chocolate aisle - my local ASDA are going to love me!

Making EFT fun
Hi all and welcome to my first Emotional Freedom Blog entry.
I use EFT on some serious issues but when a client is upset its great to bring humour in.
I was at a party last night and started chatting to a guy I'd never met before. We were having an interesting conversation as he told me some funny stories about his job - which I won't go into here because they're far too long and funny. He asked me what I do and I told him a bit about EFT. You can probably guess what happened next,
"I've got toothache," he said clutching his lower jaw, "can it work on that?"
We were in a different room to the main party and other people in the room had by now become interested in our conversation.
"How much pain are you in right now?" I asked.
"Too much," he said putting his drink down on a table.
I asked him a few questions about the pain and where it was and began tapping on his karate chop point.
I now had quite a crowd of interested people and after tapping for one round of EFT we were all laughing at the novelty of tapping at a party.
But it was working. My new friend told me he felt calmer. So we tapped again. Even more calmer. The pain was going as well. The novelty was beginning to wear off as people were becoming ever more curious at this strange looking party trick that was dissolving pain right before their eyes. Nobody left, they stood in a semi-circle transfixed.
We got the pain right down to a more than manageable level before the next act came on (the host had gathered a group of artists who were also friends to perform at the party) and the guy said he felt really calm. The others asked me how it all worked and I gave my elevator speech ( a one minute condensed 'talk' about EFT) then we went into the main room and watched the band.
Later, as the guy I had tapped was leaving, he turned to me, smiled and started tapping his face.
"I hope to see you again. I'll remember this," he said.
"So will I," I smiled back.
