"Never Diet Again" Program: November 2010, Mohonk Mountain House, NY

Mohonk Mountain House in New Paltz, New York has launched the Never Diet Again!  Welcoming Weight Loss and Wellness program which "puts you back in charge." Join Nina Smiley, Ph.D., for this program which replaces a deprivation (diet) model with life-enhancing empowerment—teaching you to make mindful choices based on meditation and visualization that lead to a healthy lifestyle and sustained weight loss. Forget about counting calories, managing fat grams, juggling complicated food combinations — so many rules and regulations end up “weighing” you down. Focus instead on welcoming weight loss and wellness, as you leave with a personal plan for skillful new habits.
