The Craving Change® program is Canada’s leading cognitive-behavioural program designed for individuals struggling with their eating habits. Join us to uncover the why behind your eating patterns and learn how to comfort yourself without turning to food.
Our program helps you transform your thinking so you can transform your eating. Understand how your environment, body, and upbringing influence your choices at mealtime.
Tune in to the thoughts and emotions that drive you off course, and gain the tools to regain control.
Through 16 proven “change and maintain” strategies, you’ll learn how to reshape your eating habits for lasting change.
All you need is your mind! Our thinking habits shape our eating habits, and with the right mindset, lasting transformation is within reach.
Discover why:
- You’d rather eat the carrot cake than the carrot
- You go to buy milk and leave with $80 worth of groceries
- Chocolate and fast foods are your ‘go-to’ solutions when you feel stressed
- You crave certain foods at certain times
- You keep eating when you know you’ve had enough
- You know what to eat, but have trouble making healthy choices
- You’ve made positive changes to your eating but then gone back to less healthy habits
Is Craving Change a diet or weight loss program?
No, this program is not specifically designed to provide the what, when and how much advice for weight loss. However, if you are trying to change your eating, the self-awareness techniques and strategies that you will learn in the program will help you. More importantly, these skills may help you stick with positive changes that you make for the long term.
Can I follow Craving Change if I have diabetes or high blood pressure?
Absolutely! The program is for anyone who is trying to make healthy changes to their eating. In fact, the clinical practice guidelines for these chronic conditions recommend the use of cognitive-behaviour techniques.
Who can attend?
The program is for adults over the age of 18 years who struggle to make and maintain positive changes with their eating. The group workshops are not recommended for someone who has been diagnosed with an eating disorder such as anorexia or bulimia. Individual counselling with a certified Craving Change clinician may be available.
Who leads the workshops?
The workshop facilitators are health care providers who are members of a regulated health profession. The facilitator or clinician has successfully completed the Craving Change Facilitator training and certification process. They will be following a structured program outline and referring to a manual developed for the program workshops.
The program will take place on January 2, 9, 16, and 23, 2025 from 9:00 to 11:00 am EST each of those days.
There is a workbook that accompanies the program.
