Breakfree Nutrition Anmeldelser 16

I found Breakfree Nutrition through Facebook and I was skeptical that they could help with my binge eating. I spoke to Martin on a zoom call and he was lovely, but what convinced me was that he showed that he understood the issues I was facing and predicted the patterns I was stuck in and predicted how I would probably feel later. So I joined. Each week, I worked through the modules and worked hard to practice what we had learnt. And slowly, slowly, I changed.
Martin took time to reply to my messages and give me detailed individualized feedback that could actually help me. In the Q&A session, I heard from other people that were struggling with the same issues! So lovely to hear from them and know I wasn't alone.
I like that there were actual concrete practical things I could try, strategies to implement. I have been to counsellors but they rarely give you the actual tools you need to help yourself.
Martin is patient and kind. He has obviously been helping people with food issues for a long time and it shows in his knowledge and what he shares with us. He shares personal stories which makes us feel a bit more normal, a bit more human, for our weird patterns and behaviors that we don't normally shine a light on.
I have stopped binge eating. I am not bothered by food anymore. I can eat chocolate and stop. I have stopped hiding food and eating in secret.
It took me 6 months, but it was worth it.
I would highly recommend.

I had a one hour consultation with Martin and he was very very helpful.
I have struggled with binge eating and not looking after myself for about 50 years.
Just a couple of things he said had a huge impact on my thinking.

This program is the opposite to - "fad".
It gives you the life skills to have feelings and calmness and freedom.
Although it's a structured course, it's completely self paced. Martin & Anita are the most caring, understanding, patient & compassionate mentors I've ever come across. This programs gently coaxes you to understanding the root cause of your issues and that it's not your fault & there is a genuine path for ever lasting change. The group support is so helpful as you realise you're not "the only one". This in an investment into your future of contentment & freedom. The skills you learn are completely adaptable to all parts of your life. This course is what "self care" is actually about.

Experiencing food struggles is incredibly time consuming, depressing and ultra frustrating. Despite having a genuine desire to eat better and be healthier, you often act in a way that sabotages these intentions. It's hard, if not impossible to find your own way out of these struggles. I'm so grateful that I found out about FFBT and was able to do the program. It's not a 'quick fix' but the changes that come are sustainable, healthy and allow you to eat in a way that truly aligns with your own intentions and values. FFBT rescues you from the never-ending cycle of mental struggle and trying every fad diet/pill/program out there that only has short term results and is impossible to maintain. This program has a wealth of information and amazing support from Martin and Anita. I did the program for health reasons (mostly) and am so thankful that now I am able to eat in a way that supports my health without the continual mental battle and cycle of shame and blame. It's a gift to be able to have a healthy relationship with food and to move on and enjoy life.

I came to the FFBT program having struggled with anxiety and binge/emotional eating on and off for nearly 50 years. For a lot of that time I didn’t know I had a problem and when I did, feelings of shame prevented me from seeking help. I was afraid of what my family and friends would think if I told them. Would they be disgusted and think less of me?

Completing the FFBT program has been life changing for me. For the first time in my life I have felt able to talk about my issues without fear of judgement, in a supportive and empathetic environment - amongst people who are experiencing similar issues. Martin and Anita’s skills complement one another perfectly and they both provide knowledgeable, honest, encouraging and insightful feedback to each participant on an ongoing basis. They have a caring, friendly manner and share just enough of their own experiences to facilitate the development of trust and ease. It is clear that they are invested in the program and genuinely want each participant to succeed. They don’t promise that the process will be easy but they are confident in the belief that it can be done if you’re willing to keep on working at the practices and believing in the process. The theory behind the practices and the practices themselves are clearly explained in the modules and feedback is always sought as you move through the program. Additional one-on-one support is also available if needed and is easy to organise via the Practice Better website.

At first I was a little daunted at the prospect of joining this program and speaking up in front of other members in weekly Question & Answer video calls. However, I learnt a lot from listening to the experiences of other people and felt supported being part of a group who shared my own lived experience. My progress has not been linear; at times things seemed to be going smoothly and then suddenly I would be confronted with difficult feelings out of the blue and find myself bingeing, again. But I knew to expect this and gradually I could identify small changes in my behaviour and emotional state that were proof of my progress. In time, binges became less and less frequent and when they did occur I came to see them as just a small bump in the road and not evidence that I was a failure and would never successfully rewire my brain.

I have learnt a lot about myself in the past six months; how my nervous system has been busy working to protect me and how self compassion and giving myself permission to engage in joyful activities, is not a self indulgence but an essential part of a healthy life. Working on the practices and learning the theory upon which they are based, has not only changed my relationship with food but, I can honestly say, has impacted many other aspects of my life. Not only has my self confidence improved, but I have the tools to address anxiety when it arises and now have the mental space to take on new activities, joyful experiences and develop better connection to others.

I will no doubt still find comfort in eating certain foods on occasion but I now know that that is normal and I no longer fear those foods. I don’t restrict them nor find myself filled with shame, disgust and regret when I do eat them. By incorporating all foods into my diet and eliminating feelings of deprivation, my nervous system no longer reacts with urges to binge. It feels much calmer and now trusts me to make better choices around what were previously my trigger foods and when experiencing difficult feelings.

The FFBT program is a significant financial investment in your health and wellbeing but it is also an amazing opportunity to rewire your brain and conquer eating challenges once and for all. The skills that you learn will stay with you for the rest of your life. Yes, the program also requires a time commitment and perseverance but, as they say, nothing good is ever easy and you will not be sorry you took on the challenge.

Speaking with Martin was the first time I truly felt heard about my struggles with food. Before starting the program, I was baffled by why I couldn’t lose weight. I have a master's degree and a professional qualification, yet the weight loss puzzle seemed impossible to solve—until Martin helped me understand why.

This program was a huge light bulb moment on my journey to a healthier lifestyle. My entire perspective shifted, and for the first time in my life, I could see a clear path forward. Martin and Anita were kind, caring, and understanding. Sharing my experiences with others who were also stuck in the same dieting nightmare helped more than I could have imagined.

It’s definitely a process, and you have to trust it. I recommend this to anyone feeling deflated or ready to give up. Before you try another fad diet, give this training a chance!

The one on one session with Martin was one of the most useful and worthwhile conversations I have had. Martin was genuine and had great insight. I was sceptical beforehand- thinking this was just going to be a sales pitch. It was the complete opposite, in fact Martin suggested that I didn’t need to do the program with him. I admit I felt a bit disappointed as I was keen to learn more, however he did give me strategies on how to get off the treadmill of dieting and encouragement to think deeply about my values and how to value myself. I highly recommend spending an hour talking to Martin. Who generously gave his time without any expectations.

I am delighted to share my experience with this incredible program. It has truly exceeded my expectations in every aspect. The materials and support provided are unparalleled, making it a standout choice for anyone seeking to transform their relationship with food.

The team genuinely cares about the success and well-being of their participants, creating a warm and supportive environment that fosters personal growth and transformation.

I cannot recommend this program highly enough. It has truly changed my relationship with food for the better.

Martin is very knowledgeable, generous and honest. During our Food Freedom Breakthrough call, he took the time to get to know me and my specific needs and situation. He made me feel comfortable and understood throughout the call. He also provided me with very valuable tools to move forward. If you are struggling with food, I would highly recommend booking your first call with him.

Martin has amazing empathy and knowledge to
breakdown the cause of your challenges and support
you with guidance to your recovery.

I highly recommend him .

I have been struggling with food related challenges for more than 12 years. While I've done a tonne of inner work and healing to rebuild my relationship with food and self, and have come a very long way from suffering with a 4 year binge eating disorder after competing in fitness competitions, to now, the occasional emotional eating / over eating, in my 1 hour call with Martin, who showed up with honesty, integrity and love, helped me find the final piece to my puzzle. I've never felt so seen, heard and understood around my eating challenges as I did with Martin today, which I will be forever grateful for. I'm excited to "practice" what Martin shared with me, and to see how I can finally put an end to my food challenges once and for all.

Martin's program and coaching changed my life.

I was sick of dieting, yo-yo behaviours with food, overeating and restricting. I was desperate to change but had tried everything in the book (or so I thought). Then Martin's program popped up on my Facebook feed.

I was hooked from the discovery call. I've had coaches for other reasons in the past, and this was the most in-depth exploratory talk I'd experienced. He was checking out what he could do or me and if I'd suit the program. That felt ethical and professional. He nailed my issue (I didn't know I had at this point) in that first call. I could see a way out of the dark-food-hole, for the first time.

We started work. I learnt new practices through online tutorials and weekly coaching support. The material is bite-sized, simple and reinforced via group sessions and one-to-ones. Being in a group setting helped build a community to support one another.

I learnt how to calm and regulate my nervous system, how to change my thinking patterns and, ultimately, how to have a completely new relationship with food.

I went from being obsessed with food thoughts, body image and binge eating to food freedom.

What does that look like?

Barely thinking about food, apart from what I'm going to food prep or which restaurant to enjoy.
All urges to control and monitor my weight (I threw the scales), count calories, and overeat have gone.
Food is now pleasure, sustenance and entertainment. It's not a self-soothing solution. I learnt new ones!

It was a gradual process and you have to do the work to get the results. It's a simple program, but it takes dedication. However, it's nowhere near as hard as dieting, taking up excessive fitness routines, or beating yourself up.

I now get to use the toolkit in other areas of my life. I can be excessive, but I know how to read my needs and choose healthier courses of action now. It works for food, work habits (perfectionism, in my case), and even relationships.

If you're on the fence, jump over it and join Breakfree. It's given me the headspace to relax, focus on what is really important in life, and be present.

It's been 5 months since I finished the program and the change continues.
I eat everything I want because I want less of it.
Now that is freedom.

Geoff helped me realise my underlying challenge is definitely a nervous system that needs sustained calm :)

I came to a point in my life that I was so tired of dieting. I was down in myself and I had a lot of unhelpful stories that dragged me down every day.

I spoke to Martin and realised this could be the only thing that can help me. Getting skills and tools how to get food freedom and not a diet that works only when you are on it, the moment you stop eating the diet food, you pick up weight again.

I am so thankful for Martin and his patience with me. Sometimes I felt that I am just not getting it. Martin was ensuring me every week that I must hung in there and that I am doing it right. Just keep on practicing. The amazing thing happened, the more I practiced the more joy I had in succeeding.

I know I am changing my food habits, I stopped binging, I don’t get the urges to eat something all the time, I have learned how to breath when I eat too fast and then also eating until I am satisfied. That can mean that I leave food on my plate (which never happened to me before.)

I enjoyed working through the modules and also our weekly meeting with Martin and the other ladies on the call. I learned so much on these calls.

I just want to thank Martin for the kindness in which he guided me through my journey on Breakfree Nutrition,

I am glad that I don’t have a short term solution (a diet plan) but I have a long term solution by that I have skills to use every day of my life,

Vanessa

I just wanted to jump on here and tell you a little about my experience that helped me with my food addiction
When I started this journey I was totally lost and didn't know how I was going to break the yoyo dieting which I knew was not good for me but I was an expert at it, the problem that was every time I stopped the diet within a few months I would put the weight back on plus more. I knew I had to change the way I thought about food, but where to start, that's when I found a post about the FFBT, so I jumped on to a call listened to what Martin had to say, and knew this was for me and signed up there and then. The journey was an eye-opener, it delved into some, not so pleasant past experiences which were challenging but I realized this was what was holding me back and why food was controlling my life. This program is not a quick fix it is a life-changing experience that will benefit you for the rest of your life. This program is life-changing, I have learned so much and the practices you are taught you take with you for the rest of your life not only to beat your food addiction, "and you will" but to become a stronger and more positive person, and for this, I am grateful, It has changed my life so much I now live a full and happy life with more confidence than I have ever had. You will find with all the support that Martin has to offer with his program you will achieve your goal to be food-free "as I call it", food no longer controls my life and I enjoy living and doing the things I want, whereas before food controlled my every move for the first thing in the morning till I went to bed and even through the night. I encourage you if you are struggling with your food habits to take the leap of faith and do this program it will change your life forever, Thank you Martin for all your support, and again I am so grateful I found your program

I found the program really helpful with lots of new and specific techniques to change the way I view food. The weekly discussion sessions gave me a focus and helped keep me on track. The length of the program enabled me to practise the skills, sometimes successfully and sometimes not, so they started to become very familiar. Martin was very affirming and never seemed shocked or bothered by all of the blips along the way.
Now that I've completed the program I'm integrating the skills and concepts myself. I'm really pleased I did the program because I learned and practised lots of new approaches and the duration and intensity of the program were important in doing this.
