Freshman 15: Mindful Eating for Students

Writer's picture: Lisa TianoLisa Tiano

I’ve been seeing teen and young adult girls in my practice for decades, but I also see the mothers of the girls. These are the same moms, where they put everyone and everything ahead of themselves. As a parent of two daughters, I want the same thing these moms want for their girls - more joy and less stress about food and eating.


Then there’s kids going off to college. Ahh yes, so many unknowns for young adults in their new environment: how will I manage being on my own? How will I fit in? Will I make friends? How do I keep up with all these college classes? Will I gain the Freshman 15?


Not only did I participate in the AM I HUNGRY program, but I recently became a certified facilitator and coach. I realized that I can’t fill anyone’s cup if mine is empty. To have a good life with food freedom is like winning the jackpot. To live a healthy life without diets, pills, or shots is the icing on the cake, and yes, you can have the cake!



What AM I HUNGRY Mindful Eating Program is NOT about…


  • Having “good” or “bad” foods

  • A quick fix or weight loss trend

  • Using calories and exercise as a punishment or reward

  • Feeling bad about what you eat or don’t eat

  • Weighing in and making trips to the scale

  • Ordering processed, pre-packaged food and shakes filled with chemicals


What AM I HUNGRY Mindful Eating Program IS about…


  • examining your relationship with food

  • Understanding your body’s signals and triggers

  • A non-diet, non-restrictive, weight neutral approach that empowers your decisions

  • Fosters the goal from overeating (called the “eat, repent, repeat” cycle) to a normal, healthy AM I HUNGRY eating lifestyle

  • Cultivating more presence

  • Identifying longstanding patterns deeply embedded into the subconscious


If you’re interested in truly exploring your relationship with your own health, I’m here to help jumpstart your journey.
