What is Attuned Eating?

Attuned Eating is a structured method designed to transform your relationship with food, your weight, and your body.

Never. Diet. Again.

Peace and freedom are possible.

Attuned Eating addresses why diets fundamentally cannot work,

And what does work. The Attuned Eating Method is not a diet and has no measuring, portion control, calorie counting or restriction of any kind.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • This method is for you if you cannot take another minute of the emotional rollercoaster and yo-yo effect that dieting perpetuates. This method is for you if you're ready to try something radically different.

    What if the last diet you were an was the last diet of your life?

  • No. The journey to intuitive eating requires a very specific map. If you have had a turbulent, destructive, painfully fraught or self-abusive relationship with food, weight, and your body, there is nothing intuitive about the notion of listening to your body.

    This is the foundation.

Testimonials

Attuned has given me so much insight into the relationship with food, weight, and my body.  I have lived the past 40 years of my life feeling trapped in the endless thoughts about food and weight - I have never been able to turn it off.  It has caused so much pain and destruction in my life.  I learned that there is another way and it is EASY.

I thought I was addicted to eating, but Alison taught me about process addiction and how I’ve used it to cope my whole life.  I am now eating all of the foods I love without guilt, shame or fear.  I feel truly at peace in my body, which is the biggest accomplishment I have ever achieved.

I learned so much in this class that I’ve never heard of before - this was a truly different approach and it was so refreshing.  I feel like I am finally listening to my body and understanding what it is communicating to me.  I had silenced it for so long that I didn’t even realize how much wisdom it holds and how open it was to being there for me when I just tuned in.  I am trusting in my body in a whole new way because I am responding to it in an entirely new way.  I have never felt more alive.  My body has shifted dramatically which feels great, but that is only a fraction of the lightness I feel inside.

Alison’s cycle of violence in dieting was the most eye-opening and different approach I have ever seen or thought of. I truly thought I had all of the information because I have been on every diet I can think of and had done what I thought was trying absolutely everything out there.  Nothing worked for me. I didn’t realize it was because of the internal relationship with food, weight, and body that needed to shift in order to break free from the diet mentality and trap of living on again and off again on diets for my whole life.  Everything shifted for me and I wish I had this information years ago as it would have interrupted a vicious cycle that took so much space in my life.

Alison’s attuned eating group helped me find an approach that I’ve been looking for since adolescence: a way to have a healthy relationship with food, free of dieting or overindulgence. I’ve struggled with body image and compulsive exercise for over thirty years. I have tried a number of approaches to have a more peaceful relationship with food and my body— from individual therapy, to recovery groups, to meditation.

Alison’s attuned eating approach, coupled with the hunger scale, helped me tune in to my body cues and enjoy food without overeating in a way I've never experienced before. I found the group aspect extremely helpful in minimizing shame and learning from others’ experience. I can’t recommend this group enough!
