The first goal of the Craving Change program is to help you understand ‘why’ you eat the way you do. This is a very important step for changing your eating. The program helps you discover the situations, thoughts and emotions that affect your food choices. This is called a cognitive-behavioural approach. You will then learn how to deal with your specific eating struggles by changing your thoughts and/or behaviours.
The program has four components:
Why It’s Hard to Change – understand how our society, your body and your learned behaviors influence your eating habits
What Needs Changing? – use a variety of tools and techniques to discover your problematic eating triggers
How You Can Change – learn 16 strategies with ‘how-to’ instructions for changing your eating triggers and/or response
Keep the Change – find out how to deal with slips and maintain positive changes
There is a workbook that accompanies the 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.
