Lose weight when nothing else is working.

You struggle with your weight. You’re conscious of calories and how you look…. but you haven’t lost weight without gaining it back.

Why can’t you go through each day without thinking about how much you’re eating or what you look like, and just BE a skinny person??

It’s because the ways you’ve been told to lose weight don’t work.

Guerilla what?

Guerilla weight loss! It’s a class on Tuesdays @ 12pm EST, from July 20 to August 10 (4 weeks) PLUS 1 super-secret BONUS call one month later (for awesome support and happiness check-in call one month later, actual date TBA … since it’s secret and all).

(All calls are recorded and emailed to you in case that time doesn’t work for your schedule or you have a conflict.)

Keep reading to learn all about it, or go ahead and sign up here, to get the early bird discount (sorry, no longer available! 2 spots left!) SORRY! SOLD OUT — waiting list for next class, ho! Sign up here.

It’s the perfect antidote for any weight struggle: this class teaches you how to enjoy food which is the best way to drop the food and body obsessions, lose extra weight and feel better, generally.

This is how it works: you learn how to only eat when you’re hungry and stop when you’re full without thinking about calories or portions — at all.

Because, conventional wisdom about losing weight is wrong. It certainly never worked for me, and there are biological reasons for this (which means, it’s kind of not your fault that you’ve struggled this long!).

Restrict food and increase your exercise? Will only keep you fat.

You know this is true because you wouldn’t be interested in this class if conventional wisdom actually worked in the long run (it doesn’t).

Theoretically, the “best” case scenario (if you can even call it that?) in following conventional wisdom is becoming fairly thin, but mentally obsessed with what you’re eating, and how you look, almost every waking moment… miserable.

I think we’ve both been there.

But even this “best” case scenario doesn’t last. Your body is biologically programed to survive. Meaning, it interprets a diet as a scarcity of food, like a famine, and your brain sends a red alert to put on weight and keep it on.

Mother Nature will always win a battle of wills with you. She is relentless and tireless. You feel obsessed with food when you restrict your food intake, and your body is packing on the calories you eat so you’ll survive this faux famine.

And this is why you’re here: you’re sick of struggling and not seeing results, and thinking, thinking, thinking about it. But you don’t want to quit and just live in a body that feels off!!!

Fear not! There is a better way.

Why not be skinny and psychologically free from food obsession and disordered eating, too?? Um, yeah, that sounds nice.

Get the best of all worlds: Happy, worry-free and enjoying food (and, at your lowest natural weight).  Hooray! Also: very possible for you to do.

What kind of weight loss class?

Guerilla weight loss, of course!  I will never tell you what or how much to eat, or how to exercise. What I will teach you is how to be naturally thin.

It looks something like this:

• Stage 1: Learn to reconnect to your body. This enables you to be able to actually hear it when it’s hungry and stop before you’re stuffed.
• Stage 2: Learn why you disconnected in the first place. As a baby, you were totally in tune with your body — you ate when you were hungry and stopped when you were full. Whether or not you realize it right now, there is a reason you disconnected, and working through this means learning better ways (than eating until you’re chubby) to deal with uncomfortable emotions and situations.
• Stage 3: Learn how to deal with common pitfalls. Late night eating, overeating when alone, eating too much without realizing it and more… it all gets covered so you successfully change your unhelpful eating patterns.

And you can read some Q&A about past classes here.

You know, “guerilla“…

Guerilla, as in: “Tactics that are precise, strategic and unexpected“ (yeah, that’s my personal definition, but doesn’t it soundright?):

• Precise: Drop the useless diets that never worked anyway. You learn only the the precise tools you need to be at your natural weight, to eat only when you’re hungry, and to be free to enjoy the rest of your skinny-person life (yay!).
• Strategic: Use sneaky, sneaky tricks. You follow the right strategy to get your body on your side. When you and your body are on the same team, you work with it, not against it. In turn, it cooperates with you and does what you want (like, oh, lose weight).
• Unexpected: RELAX to lose weight. You do the exact opposite of what you’ve always done (restricted and monitored food, over-exercised) because, as anyone who is naturally thin knows, you only get thin (and stay thin) by NOT trying to be thin. So unexpected!

Trying to lose weight is the worst way to actually lose weight.

That’s why we go in the back door of weight loss. Guerilla tactics are what you do after trying to get into a locked house through the bolted front door (unsuccessfully, for your entire life…) and realizing that the back door was open and waiting for you all of this time.

Side note: “guerilla” does NOT mean “war”.

This is guerilla tactics, NOT “guerilla warfare“.

Because declaring a war on yourself never works, and is basically what you’ve been doing all these years. I mean, I did it for decades, so I totally get it. It’s essentially what every diet tells you to do.

You know the kind head-on assault I’m talking about: you attempt to beat yourself thin with boot camps, starvation and cleanses (so miserable; Also: only make you fatter).

Eventually, you surrender due to exhaustion, or total pie-eating freak out, and all you’ve lost is money, energy and all of the healthy bacteria in your colon. (TMI? maybe…)

Why guerilla weight loss changes everything.

Because, aside from never having to wear your fat pants again, re-learning how and when to eat reconnects you to yourself, and that gives you lots of other useful things, such as:

• tools to accomplish, for real, anything else your heart desires
• an introduction to your intuitive abilities

• ability to mentally focus on stuff, stress-free
• increased physical energy
• loads more self-confidence
• more dates (just sayin’)

• access to your sense of purpose on the planet
• “Aha!” moments of understanding yourself and your emotions

Honestly, losing weight is more like a side effect to all of that great stuff that comes to you when you learn to listen to your body.

One thing that is important to me to say here, though, is that everyone is different. I cannot 100% guarantee that your life will be permanently different forever and ever, because how can I know that?

But I can tell you that this is the only thing I’ve ever seen work for people to permanently improve and transform their weight and be free to enjoy life free from food obsession.  And that traditional methods just will never end your weight loss and food issues struggle because of how you’re a human being (which is a tough thing to change).

And that’s what makes this worth doing.

And, why me?

I’ve worked with nice people like you before, and they have gotten excellent results, like losing 13 pounds in the first 3 weeks, losing weight and not gaining it back and and nipping tiny weight gain in the bud when it seems to be creeping up out of nowhere.

I’m trained and certified to do this kind of work. I’ve been coaching people through this since since 2008.

I use tactics that are clinically proven (and, annoyingly, not available to the public anywhere else yet).

• By “clinically proven” I mean that Emory University’s Department of Psychology conducted many, many trials of these tactics and exercises on real people, and most of those people lost weight as a result.
• And by “not available to the public” I mean that a friend of mine is one of the psychologists involved in developing these tactics and has given me permission to use it. Otherwise, their work is not (yet – it probably will be one day) available to the general public in any format.

I also utilize the work done by other weight loss coaches, when I believe in it. Like Brooke Castillo, and her most cutting edge work introduced to a small group of people in our January retreat in Phoenix.

I have done this class a lot of times. Each time, I revise it to make it clearer, easier to do and generally better (and more fun because why not make it fun, you know?).

Most importantly, I’ve been where you are, and successfully figured it out. I’ve lost weight and my worked through my food issues and my emotional issues around food. I just live my happy life without feeling bad about how I look or struggling with my weight.

And my one-on-one clients get see awesome results from this work all of the time. Yay! I love my job.

Get in the class!

Space is limited, and this class always sells out because I really like to keep it small. That way, everyone gets my attention and has a good, quality, best-ever kind of experience.

I’m really not into pressure (because, I hate, hate, hate being pressured), I only tell you that it sells out quickly so that you know that you probably won’t be able to wait until the last minute to sign up — maybe that will work out, who knows, but in the past it’s sold out in just a few days.

So, if you’re interested, go ahead and sign up… and get the early bird special by July 6th (if the class hasn’t sold out before). (no longer available! 2 spots left!)  SORRY!!! SOlD OUT — but sign up here to be the first to know about the next one.

Because, if you hate it, you get your money back.

I know what it feels like to buy something and not end up liking it, so if you take this class and it does nothing for you, you get a full refund.

Seriously.

This is a no questions asked, and no hard feelings kind of refund. We’ll still be cool, you can hang out on the blog and be my friend on Facebook/Twitter. I will still like you, I promise.

Delicious details.

No matter where in the world you live, you can join the class. You dial in from wherever you have a telephone.

It’s on Tuesdays @ 12pm EST, from July 20th to August 10th (4 weeks). Plus one more, later bonus call. If you miss a class, that’s ok, too — it’s all recorded and sent out to your inbox.

Tangible stuff that you get:

• 5 calls: 4 classes, 50-minutes, taught by me and our BONUS follow up call to keep you on track once class is done
• Open Q&A after every class
• Class recordings emailed to you within 24 hours, to download to your iTunes/iPod
• Doable homework between classes that gets you really good results
• Tidy, doable exercises that make what you need to do simple
• Worksheets and outlines to guide you through new concepts
• A very cool group of people that is going through exactly what you are (hooray, your people have found you!)
• Weekly emails from me, with an little extra oomph, to keep you motivated between classes
• Email access to me for any questions or anytime you need extra support
• BONUS call! For follow up support to keep you on track, answer questions, be happy and be in touch with each other.

That’s a lot, but if you or I think of more ways to help you along, you get those, too.

• 5 hours of my time, alone, would normally cost you about $1,000. And that’s if I have time in my schedule for new clients, which (for July, at least) I actually don’t.

And, the super-cool clinically proven tips are not available any other way (that kind of makes them priceless).

Plus, all of the support by me and others, and helpful feedback, and tried-and-true exercises that are all pretty crucial to succeed in changing your way of thinking and patterns so you will permanently lose weight.

(Not to mention that all of the money you’ve spent on personal trainers, diet books, diet foods and nutritionists over the years totals much, much more than that, and the emotional pain, the mental anguish and disappointment you’ve endured. Weight struggles are brutal.)

So, when it just costs you $325 to be naturally thin, it’s staggeringly affordable.

BUT! If you sign up by July 10th, the class is just $250. Yay, deals! (sorry! no longer available! 2 spots left!)

That’s total — even including tax, materials and unlimited good will from me. (Another reason this class tends to fill up quickly).

Click here to get a spot now. Sorry! Sold out! Waiting list here for the next round.

I fully believe in this work, it’s been true in transforming life and I stick to it every day to be in a good place emotionally and with my relationship with food and myself. I’ve seen it work over and over again for my students and friends. Everything I offer is high quality and I only do work that I have done with myself, and seen work with others too.

Which is why I’m so excited to get started!  Join me.

Talk to you oh-so-soon,

Laurie

P.S. — If you are thinking this class may be something you are interested in, it’s a good idea to sign up, it always sells out, and if you end up not liking it, you can get your money back with no hard feelings (though, I admit that has never happened — but it’s really okay if you end up not being as thrilled, it doesn’t make you weird).

P.P.S. — Final word (promise): if you sign up for this class now, you know that you’ll be on your way to losing weight in the month of July, and by August, who knows how far along you’ll be? And, again, if you hate it, you can always undo this whole transaction. That’s all! I’m done now!
