105: Emotional Eating

Emotional Eating VS. Mindful Eating

Lisa's personal struggle with emotional eating started when she left her home and headed off to college. The absence of a family to watch her eating habits led to uncontrollable eating and quick weight gain. Lisa had gone on and off in trying different crazy food diets, and up and down in keeping the same weight.

Lisa went through the same unhealthy cycle again when she moved to New York. She went back to yo-yo dieting which made her gain weight even more. Until somewhere in her 30's, Lisa decided to come back to personal training. Today, Lisa is a lifestyle health coach, Certified Nutrition Specialist, a Certified Dietician/Nutritionist licensed by New York State, and Certified in Adult Weight Management by the ADA.

Lisa finished her Master's degree in Clinical Nutrition from New York University. She served as the nutritionist on the New York Stock Exchange and created her business HealthCoach that delivered healthy meals to traders from 2003-2013. She is also a personal trainer certified by ACE since 1994.

The Lifestyle and Mindset Changes That Will Help You The Most

With more than 16 years of experience, Lisa specializes in weight-loss coaching around emotional eating, mindful eating, lifestyle and habit/behavior change – creating sustainable changes that enable her clients to lose unwanted weight for good.

“My mission is to help people change the old voice in their head and change their relationship with food and themselves so they can stop emotional eating and yo-yo dieting.” – Lisa Goldberg

Changing your mindset, self-talk, habits and breaking old patterns and limiting beliefs is the key to losing weight, preventing emotional eating and keeping it off.

“You can go on any diet under the sun, and if you comply, you will lose weight. But if you don't change what caused you to gain the weight, to begin with, the weight will eventually come back, and this is why diets don't work.”
