The science is clear that food addicts are chemically addicted to foods such as sugar, flour and other trigger/binge foods and once ingested, it initiates an addictive response causing them to want more. Abstinent food plans and recovery programs are the solutions for food addicts,
The International School for Food Addiction Counseling And Treatment (INFACT) Certified Food Addiction Professional is the cutting-edge educational program providing proven therapeutic techniques to help your clients or patients overcome their food addiction and live happy, productive lives
At the International School For Food Addiction Counseling and Treatment (The INFACT School), we train counselors and medical professionals in therapeutic protocols to treat food addicts successfully in the Food Addiction Professional Certification Course offerings.
True food addiction can be defined as “clinically significant physical and psychological dependence on high fat, high sugar, and highly palatable foods.” This means addictive eating behaviour.
At the heart of recovery is self-acceptance.
That is, guiding your client/patient in truly knowing their worth, adequacy, deservedness, belonging, and lovableness as a human being.
the most effective protection against food addiction is creating a recovery plan, working towards rewarding actions, activities, and ultimately, a lifestyle of fulfillment.
