Back in Control of Eating and Enjoying Food More Than Ever
I’d let my eating get pretty out of hand for a couple of years, put on a few extra pounds I wasn’t too happy about, and was generally feeling out of control when it came to food. Every time I tried to make a change, it just felt overwhelming and like I’d have to be miserable for X number of months before I could finally see a change.
But working on my eating skills has been a totally different experience. Within 2 weeks I’d completely cut out snacking, just by making a few small adjustments to my meals. And slowing down my eating and being more present in my meals cut my appetite down from NONSTOP OMG I COULD EAT A HORSE AT ANY TIME OF DAY to that of a normal person.
I no longer feel like my appetite and cravings control me, and I’m able to enjoy my food way more. And that’s all without cutting a single food group or type of food from my diet. And yeah, I’ve also lost 5 or 6 pounds, which is super cool. But the changes in my relationship to food and the feeling of taking real steps to align myself with my values have actually been way bigger and more important to me.
Break Out of the Diet-Failure Cycle
Diets often work great… for a while.
You buy the books and fill your fridge with the things you’re allowed to eat. And right away you start seeing progress…
…until you’ve got a sick kid, a work deadline, and free delivery from your favorite pizza place.
Then it all falls apart.
That rigid structure is why dieting and food plans end up failing for the vast majority of people. Often you end up further from your goals than when you started, feeling more hopeless than ever.
You need a flexible, stress-free way to get consistent results even when life blows up around you.
Why Skills Eat Diets for Lunch
The latest research in behavior change and motivation shows that practicing a handful of simple, practical skills unlocks your ability to hit your food goals. And just like athletic skills, as you build mastery you get results that used to be out of reach. Here’s how…
No-Fail Flexibility Keeps You On Track
Life doesn’t play by diet rules. Like when you’re roadtripping through a small town with a backseat full of hungry kids. Since skills don’t rely on sticking to a rigid plan, they help you roll with the punches and still stay on track with your goals.
De-Guilt Your Food Life
Diets make you feel guilty when you eat the “wrong” foods, which saps your motivation. Eating Skills are different. Instead of right and wrong, they help you make choices that align with your values and goals. So you can enjoy food with none of the guilt.
Progress Gets Easier Over Time, Not Harder
Instead of relying on dwindling willpower to maintain your momentum, Eating Skills unlocks the power of skill development. As you practice the skills they get easier and easier for you, so getting the results you want takes less and less effort.
Get a Lifetime of Results with our Proven Approach to Behavior Change that Sticks
Most people’s nutrition results are driven by habits they’ve had for years. By replacing those with tested behavioral skills, you transform your results for years to come. We designed Eating Skills around the 3 pillars of lasting behavior change so you can lock in the results you want:
1. Personalized Coaching
From day one our coaches will guide you through the process and answer your questions as they come up. They’ll make sure you’re always clear on how to get results, even in tough situations.
2. Research-Backed Skills Course
You’ll learn exactly how to practice and apply your new skills, starting with the most actionable so you start getting results right away. Each lesson is rooted in proven strategies for behavior change.
3. The Eating Skills Community
The coaching and course both live in our online Eating Skills community. So you get the camaraderie and accountability of dozens of people working on similar things right alongside you.
Make Progress on Your Own Time Without Spending Hours Every Week Counting Calories.
Eating Skills gives you bite-sized videos and skill-building you can do at your own pace, and coaching that’s there when you need it—so you stay on track even when your schedule gets full.
It’s all easily accessible from your smartphone or computer so you never feel stuck or uncertain:
In as little as 30 minutes a week, you’ll get the results you care about while still being able to enjoy what you love about food.
Here’s how a few clients described it:
“Putting yourself in the driver’s seat rather than following rules—that has improved the quality of my life immeasurably.”
“I think one of the huge benefits has been not going to food as the default stress reliever.”

Lost 6 Pounds Over the Holidays "Without Even Realizing It"
Chocolate chip cookies are the only thing that got me through the first year of raising twins. But it was getting out of control. I tried all the big names in diet companies. But I dreaded those diets because they made me obsess about every single thing I ate. And weighing in constantly was at best short-term motivation, and at worst totally demoralizing.
As I’ve been working on eating skills my anxiety and obsession around food has started to fade. The voice in the back of my head that said “screw it! you’re going to fail anyway” didn’t fit in because I wasn’t depriving myself yet I was still losing weight. Over the holidays, I lost 6 lbs without even realizing it — because these skills have now become a habit.
Since starting, I’ve lost 52 lbs. But that is really the least of it. I’ve gained self-compassion, and confidence in myself and what I am actually able to do with the right tools.

Feeling Full Between Meals with Less Snacking
So far I think all the skills and info have been very valuable. Just being conscious of snacking as stress/procrastination has helped me avoid it. Stopping to think about it, and keeping snacks out of arms reach makes the urge manageable.
The plating approach has helped with meal planning/prep, as well as what I order when I eat out. Previously veggies and fruit were in the 1/4 of the plate, if at all. Swapping the proportions has helped me stay fuller between meals, which has reduced the temptation to snack.
Make Eating the Way You Want an Effortless Part of Your Life
Before now these skills were only available through private coaching, which can cost thousands of dollars over the time it takes to get proficient in them. Eating Skills gives you the education, coaching, and community you need to transform your relationship with food for life, at a small fraction of what private clients pay.
Even if other nutrition approaches have let you down, Eating Skills will help you be confident in any food situation so you can finally make meaningful, stress-free progress on your goals.
Eating Skills Will Put You In Charge of Your Food Habits, Guaranteed
If you’re not seeing positive behavior changes in the first two weeks, just email us within 14 days of your purchase and we’ll give you a refund. Since Eating Skills includes coaching and individual onboarding from our team, all refunds will be minus a $50 surcharge.

More Freedom and Awareness with Food
I think more than anything my attitude toward food and eating has changed over the program. I’ve been surprised and have become more aware. I have a deeper understanding about how food works for me, and what I need to do to feel better and healthier. It has also grown with a sense of play and fun about it. I mean every now and then, I catch myself eating quickly, giggle, then think “what’s the rush?” It’s not so much about the discipline but the freedom of making choices and occasionally experimenting in different situations.

Reframed How I Look at My Habits
Eating Skills has provided a means for me to confront the deeper issues behind the behaviors I'm working on changing. It has reframed the way I look at my habits and brought awareness to how my eating patterns are a reflection of what's going on inside.
It's been helpful to make the comparison between eating and physical skills training. For example, it's unsustainable to work out as hard as you can every day and only take rest when you are too exhausted to move. An effective fitness program involves planned active recovery, e.g. taking a walk instead of strength training. Before, I never planned for treats or fully enjoyed them because of the shame I felt from eating something 'unhealthy.' Now I plan for treats the same way I plan for active recovery (every week!) and still practice some of the guidelines (like eating slowly), while taking a short break from others (fasting between meals).
This program has been more difficult than I thought it would be, but like learning a handstand, it's worth every bit of the challenge.
Frequently Asked Questions
We’ve also taken the liberty of including the answers here, since the questions aren’t very enlightening on their own 😉
Proven Skills
Make painless, natural progress without backsliding, even if other approaches have failed.
Make painless, natural progress without backsliding, even if other approaches have failed.
Expert Coaching
The uncertainties around food and eating are stressful. Let our trained coaches answer your questions and help you de-stress your food life.
Accountability
You can count on a welcoming and supportive community with regular check-ins and reminders to help keep you moving forward and making progress.
Is there a specific food plan I have to stick to?
Negatory good buddy. You get to decide what, when, where, and with whom you want to eat. But you’ll learn a lot about what actually works for you, so over time you’ll find your habits shift to align more with what gets you the results you want.
Will I have to count calories?
Nope. You’ll learn some helpful rules-of-thumb for how to judge portion sizes and such, but you can delete your calorie tracking apps.
Can I do this if I'm intermittent fasting (or gluten free, vegan, paleo, keto, etc.)?
Yeah, the skills you’ll learn can help ease the stress and improve the results of virtually any eating style.
But it’s important to remember that if you want to see changes in your results you need to be prepared to make some changes in your actions. That doesn’t mean vegans need to start eating meat to hit their goals. But Eating Skills might not be the right choice if you’re extremely attached to the choices you’re already making.
Do I have to give up beer and chocolate?
Nah. You may find your relationship to some foods naturally changes as you progress, but there’s nothing you have to give up to succeed.
How much time does this take every week?
The course videos and materials only take about 30 minutes a week to learn everything you need. Then it’s up to you how much time you wanna invest in getting coaching and community support. Some weeks you might not need much, and other weeks you’ll probably be glad they’re there for you.
How long will it take to get results?
This may seem obvious but results are a product of changing your behavior. Anyone can change their behavior for a minute. It takes some work to change it for a year. But if you’re willing to do the work to make meaningful change you’ll start seeing results in the first month. The key is making the behaviors behind those results an effortless part of your life. Depending on your starting point, that might take some time. But we’ll be with you the whole way.
Will I have to buy a bunch of special foods?
Nope. No shakes, powders, supplements, frozen dinners. Nothing. You can get whatever food you want from wherever you want.
Will this help me lose 20 pounds for my reunion next week?
No. This isn’t a weight loss hack that’ll just keep you yo-yoing up and down the scale. This is skill development to improve your relationship with food for the rest of your life, so you can get sustainable results that matter to you.
Will this help me lose fat and gain muscle?
Yes. But this isn’t a “how I put on 30 pounds of muscle in 7 days” sort of program. If you’re ready to make natural, steady progress on your goals, this is a great way to do it.

My Body is Much More Content
When I started Eating Skills I was already eating three balanced meals a day, lots of fresh fruit and veg etc etc, but I wasn't happy, or comfortable, and I was still craving food and snacking copiously. So something was 'off'.
Throwing the rule book out of the window and listening to my body had some unexpected results. How I eat now is not something I'd ever have chosen before Eating Skills but my body is much more content on it, I have fewer cravings and I have lost a little weight. Do I still emotionally eat? Definitely, but I know that I'm doing it and often why so I view it as a little piece of comfort rather than a descent in to a full on binge and it doesn't get out of control. That awareness is priceless.
Eating Skills gave me the courage to try, which I would never have had otherwise - and overall I'm pleased with where I've got to. Having battled with food for decades, the ability to ask my body what it wants and get an honest answer is something I never thought would happen.
Yay! You made it to the bottom of the page.
