Why Dieting Destroys Self-Confidence in the Workplace and Beyond: An Interview with Dr. Michelle Ma

Dr. Michelle May was one of the highlights of my trip to the National Speakers Association’s Annual Convention this year. Her passion—born out of her own struggle with yo-yo dieting—is infectious.  Through this interview, Michelle shares the most critical element of successful eating: Mindfulness. Of course, that’s a loaded word! Through the interview, you’ll gain a clear understanding of her systematic approach to learning how to eating what you love and loving what you eat.  Michelle has trained over 500 health professionals to offer Am I Hungry? mindful eating programs. Her programs are in 20 countries. She is also the award-winning author of the book series, Eat What You Love, Love What You Eat, that teaches mindful eating to help with yo-yo dieting, diabetes, bariatric surgery, and binge eating. Her newest books in the series are for students and for athletes.  Dr. May has been featured on the Discovery Health Channel, Dr. Oz, Oprah Radio, and quoted in Health, SELF, Redbook, WebMD, Woman’s Day, Huffington Post, and numerous other publications. Her personal success story is featured in Chicken Soup for the Dieter’s Soul.  Grab your free chapter of Eat What You Love, Love What You Eat, along with loads of valuable resources here.
