The Perfect Gauge Process
Ditch the Diets And Reconnect with Your Body’s Natural Wisdom for Lasting Weight Loss
Let’s be real: diets and restrictive eating don’t lead to permanent weight loss. Sure, you might lose a few kilos in the short-term, but eventually, those same old habits creep back in.
So, what’s the secret to lasting success? It’s simple: listen to your body.
Your body has all the knowledge you need – you just have to trust it!
Once you have ditched the rules and restrictions and given yourself permission to enjoy all foods (yes, any food at all!), you can use The Perfect Gauge process to reconnect with your body’s natural hunger and fullness signals. This process helps you figure out when, what and how much to eat based on what YOUR body truly needs, not what the latest fad diet or diet guru tells you to do.
So, how do you do that?
Here are the three steps to help you reconnect with your body, find and maintain your most comfortable weight:
1. Eat When Your Body is Hungry
Hunger isn’t just a feeling in your stomach – it’s a biological signal telling you it’s time to refuel. The hormone ghrelin, produced when your stomach is empty, kicks in and lets you know when it’s time to eat. But here’s the thing: there’s a difference between real hunger (your stomach growling) and “head hunger” (your mind telling you it’s time for a snack).
Too often, we eat because we’re bored, stressed, it’s “time” as in lunch or dinner “time” or we’ve convinced ourselves we "should" eat. The key is to tune in to your body’s signals and eat only when your body is truly hungry.
2. Eat What Your Body Wants
Throw out the food rules! No more “good” or “bad” foods, no more guilt around what you eat. Food is meant to be enjoyed and it is one of life’s greatest pleasures. Your taste buds, brain and body are all designed to experience the joy of food and eating.
When we restrict ourselves, we make certain foods seem like forbidden fruit and let’s face it – the more we tell ourselves we can’t have something, the more we want it. So, take the rules off the table and let your body guide you.
Ask yourself, “What does my body truly want?” Then, eat with awareness. How does the food feel in your body? Does it make you feel energised, or do you feel sluggish and weighed down? When you listen closely, you will be guided towards the foods that make you feel your best.
And here’s the best part – when you really tune in, you’ll discover where your “tipping point” is. That moment when you think, “Wow, this is amazing!” and “Uh-oh, I think I ate a bit too much.” You'll know exactly when to stop!
3. Stop When Your Body Has Had Enough
Ah, the million-dollar question: How do you know when enough is enough? It’s subtle. Many of us struggle with this, especially when the food tastes so darn good and we don’t want to stop. Or we eat just a little more “in case we get hungry later.”
But here’s the thing: if you don’t listen to your body’s fullness signals, you’ll keep eating when you don’t need any more food. You’ll overeat. The key is to check in with yourself. How do you feel? Are you starting to feel comfortably full or are you already over full?
By paying attention and really tuning in to your body’s natural cues, you’ll develop a better understanding of when to stop.
And that’s how you create a healthy, balanced relationship with food.
Reconnecting to your Perfect Gauge is the foundation of a lasting, positive relationship with both food and your body. It takes time, practice and patience – but once you trust your body, it will guide you to your most comfortable weight.
So, are you ready to say goodbye to diets and start listening to your body?
It’s time to embrace your inner wisdom and enjoy food on your terms!
