News Release: Put Down that Atkins Bar!
Women around the world can heave a sigh of relief. May 6th, marks International No Diet Day. To celebrate, you're encouraged to throw out tasteless rice cakes, stop counting calories and points, and eat a cookie-if that's what you really want. In Victoria , International No Diet Day is being commemorated by The CEDRIC Centre on May 1st and 2nd at their two-day Mindful Eating Seminar. Held from 10:00-5:00 pm at The CEDRIC Centre, 205-661 Burnside Road East, the seminar looks at the impact of the diet mentality, unhealthy body image, and teaches the tools of natural eating. The cost is $150.00 plus GST, including snacks and lunch. "In a perfect world, every day would be a No Diet Day," says Michelle Morand, founder of The CEDRIC Centre, and facilitator of the seminar. "Diets hurt more people than they help, in fact, 80% of all disordered eating starts with a diet. We have an erroneous belief in this culture that being thin will solve all of our problems. It doesn't. True happiness comes from the inside, from acceptance of our selves. Diets offer a temporary solution, at best." The CEDRIC Centre, (Community Eating Disorder and Related Issues Counselling), specializes in the treat me nt of clinical eating disorders, sub-clinical disordered eating patterns, and related issues such as anxiety, depression, and distorted body image. ***
