The Placebo Diet: Complete Mind-Body Programme

with Janet Thomson

Janet Thomson, best-selling author, TV favourite and an undisputed expert in her field, will help you change the way you think and feel about food, courtesy of her 2-night Placebo Diet retreat. Learn how to control your brain and, more importantly, how to change it.

Helping you to lose weight and adopt motivational practices for all areas of your life, Janet’s practical techniques, nutrition tips and exercises will aid you in shedding unwanted habits and cravings.

If you believe being slim is impossible, it will be. But Janet can help you change your thoughts and, as a result, your habits. Ultimately, she’ll give you the tools to help transform your body with a range of techniques in her three-hour-long practical sessions.

About Janet Thomson

An outstanding life coach, Janet's approach is informative, motivational and empowering.

She has already changed the way thousands of people think about food in order to help them slim, using mind-reprogramming in place of willpower – which makes her Champneys resident Jedi. 
 

Mind reprogramming

Every day we make more than 200 decisions about our food choices, with habits and emotions driving many of those decisions.

Janet believes that “thoughts are the language of the brain and determine everything we do. This applies to losing weight too. If we believe we can’t stick to it, we won’t. My mind-reprogramming plan gradually helps to rewire the brain and change the way people think about eating.”

 

What they say...

"Ten months after working with you at Champneys, I have lost three stone. I haven't done masses more exercise or joined a gym ... just followed your advice. As silly as it sounds, I eat what I want: it's what I want that has changed! Significantly, my BMI has dropped from 30.6 (obese) to 24.2 (safe range). Would it be exaggerating to say, "you saved my life?" – JUDY WILLIAMSON | TRING RETREAT, SUMMER 2019
