About Delish Diet(a)
The word diet was hijacked by the weight loss industry.
The original root of the word "diet" comes from the Greek word díaita - which means 'a way of living', including food and other daily habits.
You don't need to "go on a diet", but you do have a natural díaita. If you want to be a natural weight, then you need the natural díaita of the human species..... the one the creator provided to meet our natural human needs - body, mind, emotion and soul.
Taking back the word 'diet'.
At its root the word "diet" was never about restriction.
It's about how we live day to day - how we eat, move, rest, and care for ourselves. When your daily habits support your natural human needs- body, mind, emotion, and soul - your weight regulates itself naturally because your body has what it needs to function optimally - instead of being distressed by nutritional deficiencies, stress and toxins.
The Delish Diet(a) Protocol and path is about returning to a way of eating and living that embodies real nourishing food in its natural form, supportive daily rhythms, and an environment that helps you thrive. This isn’t about perfection or punishment. It’s about alignment with your inherent needs so that your body has what it needs to create optimal health.
Taking your health into your own hands is what returns you to your natural weight.
Many people think that losing weight creates health, but it's actually the other way around - getting healthy results in weight loss, naturally.
Why This Is Different
14 years ago I became obese even though I was eating healthy.
As a health conscious holistic nutritionist I was eating a whole food diet. And yet I was a size 16.
It made zero sense to me that the same diet that kept me thin in my 20's, had me obese by my mid thirties.
I had to go on an inner journey to overcome the futility that I felt within, find the root cause, unlearn conventional ideas about weight loss and gain authentic weight loss wisdom based on hormonal physiology - not calorie theory.
As the result of what I learned, I dropped 12 dress sizes without exercise or counting a single calorie.
Mainstream practitioners and other weight loss experts give you little more than a reduced calorie diet, you won't find that here.
Instead you'll get principles you can sustainably live by, not more patronizing advice like "eat less and move more" (like as if you haven't already tried that only to have it backfire).
The truth is that extra body fat is a symptom of other things being out of balance in your life. Fat is not the cause of being overweight. Fat is an effect.
If you keep focusing on the fat and pushing against it with starvation and exercise, all that does is exacerbate the underlying issues that cause it in the first place - if you keep trying this over and over only to gain the weight back, you are on the diet rollercoaster and you'll always struggle with your weight.
Being overweight is a symptom of an underlying health issue begging you for attention.
You are in the right place if you want to stop treating symptoms and instead pull out the root cause(s) of your issues with your weight.
The Delish approach to weight loss is rooted in natural health and physiology (how the body actually works to release body fat). Calories are not the cause of your issues with weight and that's why they are NOT the solution. Your extra body fat is not a 'calories in and calories out' 'thing', it is a hormones, nutrients & metabolic health 'thing'.
We do not follow government RDA's or food guides, nor do we use one size fits all plans or follow diet trends. We won't be counting calories or "exercising" either. Yes your body needs movement to be healthy - and in many cases recomposition - but more unnatural "exercise" isn't the answer.
Your cellulite and stubborn fat areas don't need more exercise, they need attention in the form of bodywork, nutrition, hydration and detoxification, NOT submission.
Your extra body fat has a message for you about what needs to change (in both your inner life and in your outer life).
It's time now to put your health first to address the real authentic reasons you struggle with weight and use your weight loss journey as a catalyst to transform your life.
You are in the right place if you are ready to stop trying to fix the 'effect' and instead acknowledge and heal the root cause(s) - body, mind, emotion and soul.
Root Cause Weight Loss
Releasing the weight naturally without diet"ing" is an inside-out job.
Here are some examples of areas to focus on healing instead, to get to the root cause of your issues with your weight:
Environmental:
- Processed foods and eating out
- Unsupportive partner/family or friends who sabotage your efforts
- Lack of resources or correct information
- etc.
Physical Issues:
- Nutritional deficiencies
- Toxicity
- Body system and organ imbalances
- etc.
Mental:
- Programmed by the diet mentality and keep reverting back to things that don't work for you long term
- Think your body is failing you and want someone outside yourself to 'fix' it
- Looking for quick fixes and resisting putting the time in to learn something new
- etc.
Emotional:
- Carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders
- Your primary relationship feels like dead weight
- Life feels heavy and hard
- etc.
Soulful:
- Identifying as a fat or unattractive person
- Feel held back & not living to your potential
- Disconnected from nature and the creator
These are just some examples. You might relate to all of them or just a few - regardless they are roots you need to pull up.
Once the weeds are pulled out and composted, next it is time to plant new seeds by learning something new and more importantly - apply it.
That's what the UN-diet School is all about.
