WORDS OF PRAISE
Here is what some of the people have to say about their Weight Loss for Foodies experience.
I have gotten so much out of your podcast, class, & coaching sessions. You truly have changed how I view food and weight issues. I am happy to say that I have lost 22 pounds and have held steady for the past three months. Using the hunger scale and having no forbidden foods have been instrumental to my success.

Thanks to Shari Broder, not only am I no longer addicted to food, but also much happier with my body! Losing weight is a bonus!

Working with Shari has been a life changing experience. She is teaching me the tools to combat emotional eating and change my mindset. She is so compassionate and really gets to the bottom of what causes us to overeat, and is helping me to make peace with food.

Feeling empowered, riding the wave of food freedom. It’s become natural and instinctive to stop and notice that I’m full, and stop eating. I have this little "Rah! Who is this person?" moment when I stop and realize it is now me! Thank you, Shari.

Love Weight Loss for Foodies. Shari does a great job. Lost 10 lbs slowly eating what my body wanted. I am loving my body and appreciate how it feels.

I've gotten serious about doing this really religiously for the past 2 months, really waiting until full and still trying to be better at stopping when full (although I rarely eat until uncomfortable any more). Without demonizing any foods or utilizing "diet" thinking, I lost 7 pounds in that time, and I'm now down a total of 25 pounds. I was amazed and gratified. This stuff works!

When people notice my weight loss and ask how I have done it, my answer is that I only eat when I am hungry. (Who knew?) I want to thank you for your guidance and support. Unlike other times that I've tried to lose weight, I don't feel deprived or constantly think about food. It is not super fast but it is consistent and healthier than other ways to lose weight. You have made a big difference for me and I really appreciate it!

I am thrilled with this method of weight loss and feel it is the only way to be able to maintain my weight without misery and white knuckling my way through life. It has been SO liberating! I have lost a total of 41 pounds with mindful eating and have learned a new style of eating that is sustainable long term. You are improving people's lives in a very accessible way and that is something to be very proud of! I have pointed anyone who asks in your direction.

I can't recommend this programme highly enough! It works! I now have a much more relaxed and healthy relationship with food. I was in an awkward place, I knew dieting wasn't working but I didn't know what, if anything, would work, and I was so worried because dieting or not, my weight was steadily creeping up. It was my priority to address that, and it's been achieved 100%! I can trust myself to eat exactly what and how much my body needs, and even though I didn't believe it when Shari said you could bake delicious brownies and just forget they are there, lo and behold that's exactly where I'm at now! Shari is so easy to work with and to relate to, and I'm so glad that she is not judgmental. She does a great job addressing the emotional and psychological side of eating. I got so much out of this program, and am deeply grateful.

THE best part! Learning to not only stop over-eating, but to stop WANTING to over-eat. HUGE!! THIS IS HUGE, I tell you! Getting past the “food as pacifier/reward” and finding out that the guilt you’ve carried for years about cleaning your plate, wasting food, starving children in China is all just SO misplaced. You rock, Shari! Profound thanks.

It feels good to finally know that I am in control, not food. I eat whatever I want, just not all of it all the time. I have been immensely enjoying the feeling of perfect satiation, completely satisfied and not stuffed. This feels good! I'm like this new person when I dine as if guided by some intuitive source. (My own!) I just eat less. I enjoy. I savor. This is it! This is the FOOD FREEDOM gospel as taught by Shari.
I now get it.
I trust my body now. This stuff WORKS. And this IS how it’s supposed to be.
Thank you, Shari.

When I turned to Shari for coaching, I wasn’t certain how this approach would differ from any other weight loss program. In fact, it differs in many ways! Shari’s coaching has helped me to identify my problem areas and how to approach food and eating in a whole new way. She’s supportive and encouraging, yet realistic and frank when needed. She encourages mindfulness when eating, which results in more enjoyment of favorite foods.
Since she’s been on this journey herself, she knows the successes and pitfalls of changing how we eat. She helped me to understand the perils of rewarding myself with food, instead of facing the emotions that we try to avoid by eating.
I would highly recommend Shari as a skilled coach, empathic listener, and expert guide on the journey to a more healthful relationship with food.

Shari is a no nonsense, down to earth person who coaches in a comforting way. She was supportive and encouraging, both privately and in the group. Shari has been in the same shoes on her own weight journey, and speaks and leads from personal experience, but in a very professional manner. I learned a lot and really enjoyed the coaching sessions, connecting with everyone, hearing their stories and feeling the support and camaraderie of the group.

I definitely recommend this program. I’m eating less while enjoying all foods, and the weight is coming off, slowly but surely! Shari offers many interesting concepts that help with rethinking my daily issues with food. Her style is friendly, accepting and encouraging. Although I was hesitant to join because I’ve tried many times to lose weight and didn’t stick to a program, Shari’s approach is one
I can easily live with.

I’ve lost weight, and I didn’t gain any over the holidays! I’m eating so much more mindfully now. It’s great to believe that it is possible to go back to the way I used to eat when I was slim, and I’m seeing more evidence of that becoming my habit. Shari’s content is great, and she’s been through this herself, so speaks from experience. I recommend it for anyone who is struggling with emotional eating.

I love this plan. It’s so freeing! I was ditching carbs, eating whole foods, gluten free and my weight was not changing. Now I look forward to eating, and I love it. I have lost 20 pounds and dropped two sizes! I still eat healthy foods, but give myself permission to eat the foods I want. Just small portions are satisfying … I think you found the key — moderation in all things. I am very grateful to you for this plan, it is changing my life.

The most significant thing about my work with Shari is how much happier and in control of situations I feel now. Shari helped me see and clarify how to approach situations in ways that I feel good about, and will have a good outcome for me. Our work helped me achieve more peace with my life and helped me see the ways to accomplish my goals. I went from feeling helpless/doing nothing to feeling in control and proactive. The tools and strategies Shari provided helped me with all parts of my life-my job, marriage and all of the things I want to do on the side too. In a nutshell, I would describe the work we did as lifesaving. I went from wanting to quit my job to essentially controlling how I feel about it. There are so many ways that coaching helps and makes you happier.

I started my journey in January, and can now wear my clothes comfortably and feel great. When people notice my weight loss and ask how I have done it-my answer is that I only eat when I am hungry. (Who knew?) I want to thank you for your guidance and support. Unlike other times that I've tried to lose weight, I don't feel deprived or constantly think about food. It is not super fast but it is consistent and healthier than other ways to lose weight. You have made a big difference for me and I really appreciate it!

I have never before been so honest with anyone about how I feel about being overweight. And so I have never before experienced the support and understanding that I have received from Shari. As a result, I feel more free from the habits of thought and action that cause me to gain weight than I ever have before. I also feel that I am on a path to more than weight loss – that I am learning how to live a lighter and more liberated life as a whole. Shari has been a tremendous help: smart, resourceful, encouraging, and inspiring.

I thoroughly enjoyed my talks with Shari. I believe she’s chosen a career path that she understands very well. Sometimes all it took was a question from her to put my thoughts in order again without my even having to answer the question.
Like a light bulb moment.

Shari has been my life coach for a while. She has helped me set priorities and above all, not to worry about things that haven’t happened yet.

You have already helped me by your empathy and insight. Anyone who wants to really get to the root cause of their fears (things that block them from following their dreams) would be wise to consult you.
