What is the Make Food Feel Good Program?

Have you ever felt like you just cannot trust your body? That the very simple and intuitive instincts we are all born with – like recognizing and honoring hunger, being able to stop eating when you’re comfortably full and satisfied, and having the freedom and carefree ability to enjoy your favorite foods without logging them into My Fitness Pal or without binging on them with the promise of “starting again tomorrow” – are out of reach? If you answered yes to any of these, read on to learn what the Make Food Feel Good program is and why it might just be the life changing program you’ve been looking for. 

If you answered yes to any of the above the first thing I want you to know is that you are not alone. You are not broken. There is nothing wrong with you. 

We live in a culture where there is so much noise and constant messaging about what we “should” or “shouldn’t eat”  – how many calories we can consume per day (like we’re some kind of robotic machine). Trust me, as a dynamic human being it’s not as simple as just calories in vs. calories out, which eating window will lead us to our perfect body (sorry Intermittent fasting, that just ain’t it), or the next food group we’ve just got ot cut out and our goals will finally be achieved (nope, not that either – if Atkins worked, we wouldn’t be circling around Keto again now…same same but different) 

While this may be the norm for so many of us to live and feel this way, I promise you it doesn’t have to be! 

It is with this exact mission that I created the Make Food Feel Good Program. To show you another way. 

It is 1000% possible to have complete freedom and confidence in your every day eating!  

I can say this with the utmost confidence because as an Intuitive Eating dietitian who has overcome these same obstacles myself, and helped hundreds of others do the same, I know that if we can all do it, you absolutely can too! With the right tools, anything is possible and that is exactly what Make Food Feel good was designed to do. 

To give you the unwavering knowing that –

You can trust yourself to eat what FEELS amazing body, mind, and soul – without the need to reference your calorie tracking app or “foods to avoid” list. 

You can trust your body! It has the wisdom to let you know when you’re hungry, full and satisfied. Honoring those intuitive cues is the very thing that will eliminate the obsessive over thinking that consumes every food decision.

You have permission to eat and enjoy all foods beyond just nutrition. Food is love, joy and connection – life is meant to be enjoyed, and food is a big part of that! 

You can honor your health and wellness and include nutrition as an empowering tool without it feeling diet-y or restrictive. More on positive, feel good nutrition below 🙂

So What Exactly Is The Make Food Feel Good Program?

Make Food Feel Good is an 8 week Guided program based on the principles of Mindful and Intuitive Eating and Feel Good Nutrition to give you everything you need to feel confident and free in your everyday eating. 

It is the combination of the exact tools I used to break free of my own struggles in my relationship with food and have now had the opportunity to guide hundreds of others through to create a truly balanced, healthy and JOY filled relationship with food. 

Why? 

Because when food feels good, life feels good! We have the time and mental space to focus on and put our attention into what actually matters and makes up a meaningful life. 

If you are looking for a step-by-step blueprint guided by the support of an amazing community and expertise of dietitians, you’ve come to the right place!

Is MFFG a diet? 

Absolutely not. This is where MFFG really differs from other programs. While there is definitely guidance and a ton of support, this program is not a diet. In fact, it is anti-diet. 

There is no calorie counting, weigh-ins, designated “eating windows” or any other bogus “diet rules” you may have been subjected to in the past (because let’s be honest, while this structure may feel like it “works” initially, it is simply not sustainable…if it were, would you be here reading this right now?) 

While you do get tools like flexible meal plans, our nearly 20 years of combined nutrition knowledge as Registered Dietitians, exercises and worksheets to put it all into practice, and personal dietitian coaching, the MFFG program is designed to nurture your own expertise so you never have to rely on diets or outside sources to dictate what you can and cannot eat again!

Never. Diet. Again.

Let’s leave it at that. 

How Is Make Food Feel Good Different?

We know from a large body of research that 95-98% of diets fail so we knew we had to create something different. Something that would actually give you the lifelong tools to come back to trusting yourself as the expert of your own body! 

Make Food Feel Good centers on setting up your mindset first so you can let go of old food rules, thoughts and habits that are no longer serving you.

Intuitive Eating provides the framework to let go of the diet mentality. Learn how to connect with hunger, fullness and satisfaction, learn to foster coping tools that are rooted in true self love and self care and learn how to bring in mindful movement where the intention is to feel good – not punish your body and so much more!

Feel Good Nutrition is the next step so you can learn everything you’ve ever wanted to know (without the BS) to support your body to feel it’s best. Maximize your energy, simplify meal prep and meal planning, learn how to integrate going out for brunch with friends and how to actually enjoy all your holiday favorites or how to embrace the joys of delicious food on vacation without stressing and pulling out the scale the minute you get home.

Support every step of the way. We know that it can be scary and daunting to try something new. But it doesn’t have to feel this way! You will have the support of your very own dietitians through daily access in the private members community (it’s seriously like having a dietitian in your back pocket) as well as the incredible Make Food Feel Good community. We have seen the impact that sharing this experience with like-minded others all working towards the same goals can have in truly creating sustainable changes and supportive habits for life! 

Designed by a Registered Dietitian. I love getting to blend my nearly 20 years of experience studying and practicing the science of nutrition as a dietitian with the psychology of behavior change, mindfulness and intuitive eating. I’ve taken what I’ve seen to actually work in the real world both in my own life and those of my clients and put it all together into a proven method  (spoiler alert – programs like Noom have been designed by Engineers and a whole lot of marketing genius). How does that even make sense?

What Kind Of Results Can You Expect From Make Food Feel Good?

We asked some of our members from the past 2 years what their biggest wins have been. Getting to share in these transformations and see the impact they continue to have years later is the most incredible part of it all. 

• Finally gave up calorie counting after decades feeling chained to this unhelpful practice after learning how to be an intuitive eater! 

• Ditched the scale. For good this time! How freeing!

• Now able to keep previous fear foods like peanut butter, ice cream and chocolate in the house without feeling out of control or like they’ll eat the whole thing in one sitting. 

• Fell in love with cooking again! With tools like the meal plans, the plate method and grocery shopping guides preparing meals no longer feels stressful

• Enjoyed ice cream with kiddos for the first time – no guilt, no shame, no “making up for it afterwards” 

• Actually feeling full and satisfied after meals with the tools inside the program

• Learning that salads can be equally as crave worthy as pizza when there are no food rules. Learning to listen to body and knowing that all foods nourish in their own ways

• So much more free time! Between no longer obsessing about food and every food decision like what to eat next, what not to eat and everything in between, so much more mental space to just live life. On top of that, the hours the meal plans and grocery lists save from stressing about grocery shopping, planning meals, and cooking is priceless!

• No more stress going into or coming home from vacations. Being able to eat without rules on vacation, listening to body wisdom and saying yes or no to any food with intention eliminated the all or nothing mentality and allows getting back into a routine to feel good. No more extremes.

There are so many more wins to celebrate and we can’t wait to see your biggest breakthroughs inside!

Frequently Asked Questions

You can find all of the FAQs on the info page here but I thought I’d also answer some of the top ones here. 

What is the time commitment?

You will receive access to the modules on a weekly basis for 8 weeks. Each module takes approx. 45 mins-1 hour to complete. The coaching calls are 1 hour 1x/week. With this said, the program is designed to clear a whole lot of mental space and time, and save hours in the kitchen with the tools and meal plans, meal planning guides!

How long can I access the resources?

You get to keep access to all of the resources for life! All course modules, recordings of the live coaching calls, meal plans, plus ongoing access to the private community (this will be changing but if you get in now, you will be Grandfathered into this program set up!) 

What kind of support do I get?

Each week includes a  live group coaching session led by Lindsay or MFFG Dietitian – Ally Choo. On these calls, you’ll have a chance to ask any questions you have (live!) and get the support, accountability and motivation to keep moving forward with your goals! You will also have access to daily support from Lindsay and the team plus the MFFG community.

Can I get it covered by insurance?

Yes, many of our members have been able to get the program covered in part or in full by their extended medical benefits. This will depend on where you live and your personal plan – check with your insurance provider for details and let them know it is a group nutrition coaching program run by a Registered Dietitian (registration number to be provided) with weekly live 60 minute nutrition coaching calls (this is likely what you’ll be able to submit for!). 

Are there payment plan options?

You bet! We wanted to make this as accessible as possible. 3 month and 6 month payment plans available. See details here. 

I get it, making change can be scary but it is so worth it! If you are ready for a lifetime of freedom in your eating, to feel confident in every food decision whether it’s pizza or a big ol nourish bowl, and to finally find peace and balance in your relationship with food it’s all waiting for you. 

It would be my honor to work with you. If you’ve got any last minute questions, book one of the last discovery call spots here or shoot me an email to info@lindsaypleskot.com and we can chat it through! 

Here for you! I hope to see you inside.
