Your Body is Not the Problem.
It never has been. Your body is just trying to do the best it can in a culture that teaches us that our body is an object to fight against, to force into submission, to shrink into a size deemed acceptable. We are told that if we eat "right," restrain our appetite, and have enough self control, we can win the golden ticket to health, happiness, love, and success. When this doesn't happen, we blame ourselves.
Here's a secret: you are not the problem. You have been set up in a system that is doomed to fail. A system that functions because it fails.
Diet culture teaches us that we need to spend all of our time, money, and energy investing in diet plans that simply do not work for as many as 90% of people who try them. Then they convince us that it is our fault that we don't "achieve our goals." And it works--instead of blaming diet culture for its immeasurable shortcomings, we blame ourselves. Our body becomes a dumping ground for all of our anger and dissatisfactions.
What if instead of fighting against our bodies, we realized we are both on the same team? What if we could learn to care for our bodies like the beloved companions that they are?
Mindful eating is a transformative practice that can help us heal from diet culture and develop a more peaceful relationship with food. The Anti-Diet Plan signature 6-week course will guide you on a journey from diet-mentality to food freedom. In this course, you'll learn everything you need to know to free yourself from the diet cycle and establish a peaceful, trusting, and harmonious relationship with food and your body. And if you are looking for more support on your journey, check out The Anti-Diet Plan Foundations Group Coaching Program or The Anti-Diet Plan with Individual Coaching Sessions.
Because you've got so many more important things to do than think about food and your body all the time.

Meet Dr. Alexis Conason
Hey! I'm Dr. Alexis Conason and I'm so glad that you are here checking out my site. I truly hope that you find what you are looking for here. And if you are looking to learn a little about me, look no further!
I'm a clinical psychologist, certified eating disorder specialist and supervisor, author of The Diet-Free Revolution: 10 Steps to Free Yourself from the Diet Cycle with Mindful Eating and Radical Self-Acceptance, and I'm the founder of The Anti-Diet Plan mindful eating program.
I'm also a former chronic dieter who spent decades of my life stuck in the diet-binge-shame cycle. I'm not going to say "I did it and you can too!" because we are all in different situations, but I will say that I know what it feels like to spend way too much time thinking about what to eat and what not to eat and feeling like a failure because I couldn't stick to a plan. I also know what it feels like to tie my self-worth to the numbers on a scale and feel like all of my problems would be solved if I could just change my body...
