What if I told you today that you can eat whatever you want and still get to lose weight? But that’s impossible you say…I understand that after years and years of jumping from one diet to the next, it can be hard to believe that you can eat carbs and lose weight. But you see, it’s all about healing your relationship with food and shifting your mindset. Are you ready?
In this episode of Girls Gone Healthy, I speak with Rachel Freiman, an international coach, and a bestselling author. She teaches women how to lose weight while they’re still eating donuts.
