Weight Loss Lessons from Two Decades of Clinical Work

A practical and efficient synopsis of common weight loss strategies drawing from two case studies of patients who successfully lost weight and kept it off. We will look at their before and after diets and discuss what worked for them and how one can replicate their success, starting with how one’s week at Rancho La Puerta can redefine healthy eating.

 

Mindful Eating: A Forkful of Meditation

Do you know that how we eat is almost as important as what we eat? Join us for a fun dive into the “how” of eating, we will learn how to increase our sensual awareness of our food and enhance our eating and digestive experience. The workshop includes a short meditative eating exercise, be prepared to relax deeply and re-experience how you enjoy food.
