What is it that keeps people from losing weight and keeping it off?

If this were an easy question to answer, we’d likely be living in unprecedented times. We probably wouldn’t be facing the obesity epidemic that we are that has killed the health of millions of people worldwide. And it’s getting worse. Once you combine the embarrassingly endless offerings of food choices and the seemingly non-existent ability of humans to just say “no,” we have reached a summit of sickness that we have never before arrived at as a species.

However, there is one factor that has, perhaps, the single largest effect on a person’s ability to manage their diet effectively that rarely ever gets mentioned. And that is that processed food is “engineered” to create dependency.

Like a narcotic.

Intentionally and by design.

This should be illegal but, instead, it is the reality in which we live. Food tastes better (to our brain) after it has been manipulated. The more it is manipulated to taste better and to hook the consumer, the less it resembles a natural food source any longer. We like Coke more than water; Oreos more than eggs.

Sadly, we need REHAB, not another diet program.

In a way, we’re not to blame. We’ve been turned into addicts. We didn’t know this was happening to us.

As food manufacturers strive to sell more and more, is anybody actually concerned about our health along the way? Not at all. Most of what we unwrap and shove in our mouths is NOT food. At the very least, it is not optimized for human consumption.

This is the insurmountable obstacle standing in the way of achieving optimal health that Peak Form Health was created to solve. However, this is also why PFH will only work with the most dedicated and disciplined of clients. The odds are definitely stacked against those trying to break their addictions. Most never make it. We can get you there.

How do you break a drug addiction?

Gradually and carefully.

“Cold turkey” rarely works. And it doesn’t work well in changing eating habits to favor much healthier food choices either.

By working closely with clients to help them through the incredibly difficult task of weaning themselves away from engineered foods, steps are taken incrementally. No one is ready to jump into a restrictive diet all at once. Instead, clients work their way up to and through the Paleo eating style, the Ketogenic eating style and finally, the zero-carb eating style. Or, they are free to stop and park themselves at any of the stages along the way if they feel like they cannot go any further. This is perfectly fine as all of the benchmarks in this journey are much better places to reside than where they started.

This is a months-long journey. No one should ever try to get there overnight. It just won’t work.

So, when you’ve tried everything else and have mustered the strength to give something different and proven a shot, book your free 15 minute consultation with PFH via phone or Skype and see if you like what you hear.
