The Non- Diet Collective

Before the Non-Diet Collective food felt stressful and I was always so uncertain about what I should be eating. Not eating enough throughout the day and restricting myself which led me to binge eating and feeling really bad about myself and body. ​Now, I feel more confident in my food choices. I don't feel stressed when going out to eat. Mentally, I feel stronger and food doesn't seem like a burden anymore! Thank you so much Chelsea for all your support throughout the entire program. You have helped me in so many ways and worked with me to overcome certain food struggles. You were always there to listen to me and encourage me and I never once felt judged. I truly am grateful to have met you and I'm glad I had the opportunity to be part of the non-diet collective group!

After the non-diet collective I am always thinking of ways to make a meal more nutritious without boredom. I throw veggies in pasta (something I rarely did). I care a lot less about calories now, and more about nutrient density. I don't see a plate of food and think "this has about 700 calories". I see a plate of food and think "this has a lot of vitamin c, iron, healthy fats, protein, etc''. Before the program food was stressful. There was constant pressure to "be healthy" or balls-to-the-wall unhealthy junk. There wasn't much grey area. Always thinking of macros and calories. I leaned towards sugar free or fat free or "light" to be "healthier" and picking out lunches was EXHAUSTING. Now, there is way less pressure. There is a lot of grey area. It doesn't have to be all or none. The program was the perfect amount of time commitment each week; completely doable and low maintenance. I appreciated the payment plan, the separation of tasks each week, the group chat, and the weekly call.

I just completed my second program with Chelsea, and it was magnificent! My journey with Chelsea has been invaluable. It taught me about nutrition in a way that I had never been taught before, in a way I think everyone should be taught about nutrition. My first 3-month program, that I completed last year, brought me back to basics, paving the way to nurturing my body mindfully and learning about what foods made me feel better than others, as well basic but transformational daily practices like water intake, incorporating movement, and mindful snacking! The second 3-month program I completed, brought everything full circle. I feel very in tune with my body, listening to what it needs or doesn’t need. Chelsea’s knowledge and incredible support through this whole journey made it much easier to fall into this natural way of eating, enjoying foods, and loving my body just as it is. Chelsea is approachable, understanding, and adaptive to your needs, which makes all the difference when each person has different goals. What I loved the most was her regular check-in’s with me. It made me feel cared for and understood. She would really listen to what you had to say and provide insightful and thoughtful responses. I highly recommend Chelsea’s programs, for anyone!
