Whole Health
Philosophy
Weight
issues are health issues and are multi-dimensional and are
an invitation to change.
They indicate a pattern of imbalance not only in body, but
also in mind, emotion or spirit. Overweight conditions, like
all imbalances, are supported by unhealthy emotions, attitudes,
and lifestyle.
No two
people are the same and that is why popular weight loss diets
do not work. They fail to take into consideration the uniqueness
of the individual. Balanced weight and health require our
attention. Most people do very little to even maintain health
and proper weight. When a health or weight crisis develops
we all want a quick fix or a magic bullet, which only brings
frustration, wasted money and more physical problems.
Holistic
in Scope
My Holistic approach looks for the cause at the physical, mental,
emotional, spiritual and lifestyle levels. Once a problem
shows up on or in the body, it has already filtered through
the mental/emotional and spiritual aspects.
Your body is the vehicle through which you express yourself in
the world, and it always obeys the instructions of your mind.
Your emotions are feelings you attach to your thoughts. Your
mental and emotional state cause you to
make choices that create excess weight and unbalanced
health. You have a Higher Mind that knows what is appropriate
for you and is always leading you toward choices that will
bring you what you say you want. Most people don't
hear or listen to their Higher Mind. Why would you? No one
ever taught you how.
My Whole Health approach addresses all the dimensions of your
being. It is easier and more fun this way. When we have clarity
of mind, know who we are and what we want; understand how
to listen to our emotions; and tap into the infinite wisdom
of our spirit, weight and poor health will no longer be issues.
There is no right way that works for everyone.
Many people wrestle with their appearance and struggle with
diet and exercise. There are far too many opinions and
trends in our culture about what's right for you. We're
flooded with advice on what to eat, what not to eat, and how
to eat, all of which is very confusing.
Most people feel if
they could force themselves to eat all the right foods and
follow someone else's rules they would have healthier
bodies. Often our childhood and cultural programming, and a
fear of not fitting in, cause us to believe that what
everyone else is doing is the right way. Each one of us is
constitutionally different and our nutritional needs, type
of exercise and activity, lifestyle and desires are
different.
There are many popular weight loss plans
each offering the perfect diet for everyone,
regardless of one's unique condition. Many of
these plans contradict each other. They each may have
some merit and work for some people some of the time.
However, each one is limited by a narrow and fixed way of
thinking. Their ideologies and methods differ; however,
their principle is the same: everyone should eat according
to the same rules.
Food has energetic, therapeutic properties and has the
ability to give you clarity, emotional harmony, focus, and
vitality. Eating certain foods will eliminate cravings
for unhealthy ones. Food can reverse disease when you
know how to use it appropriately for your unique condition.
And, yes, the right foods will help you create a healthy,
fit body.
Calories Don't Count
Many of you
have been eating low-cal, low-fat, fat-free, and
artificial foods for many years and still struggle with
weight and health issues. I've had many clients
tell me their typical day's eating includes a dry cereal
with skim milk, a morning and afternoon snack of low-fat
yogurt, fat-free cheese, and fruit, salad with chicken, fish or other
protein for lunch, and a frozen, microwaved low-cal
entree for dinner. After months, even years, of
eating this way they still have not lost weight even
though their caloric intake is relatively low.
Calories don't really
count all that much in a weight loss plan.
Eating appropriate foods and flavors with the right
therapeutic values for your overall condition will
disperse excess fat, improve metabolism and circulation, eliminate many health problems, and
leave you satisfied. I've had many clients who
tell me they are eating more food now, after working
with me, than ever in their
lives, and are losing weight easily and noticing
improvements in overall physical, mental, and emotional
health.

Natural Weight Loss
creates the appropriate way of eating for you--one
that is flexible, tasty, leaves you satisfied and free of
health imbalances. This program
gives you the tools to access the answers you already have.
You'll learn to listen
to the messages your body, mind, emotions and spirit are
giving you.
Yes, there are new concepts to learn and
implement. However, once put into practice, you can use
these tools in any problem area of your life. This program
is flexible, fun, inspiring, motivating, and will bring out
the best in you. Following a rigid diet plan is bondage.
Natural Weight Loss
is ultimately about gaining the freedom to have all your
choices bring you the results you say you want.
No
drugs or deprivation
Willpower, sacrifice, deprivation and drugs are NOT part of
good health or my Whole Health approach. Balanced weight is the natural
outflow of being healthy and happy. Dieting never brings long-term
results. Long term success is dependent upon getting at the
root cause which usually is not about food.
My Whole Health
approach educates, enlightens, supports, motivates, satisfies,
and brings forth the you that you are wanting to be.

What Program Participants Have Said
"I've been following the
recommendations you gave me nine days ago and
my
stomach has completely flattened…pretty much overnight! It was
almost magical. Remember how I told you my lower
stomach/abdomen often felt so large and hard …well it’s
completely gone. I haven’t made a complete/drastic turnaround
with my eating either. I feel a lot better physically. I weighed
myself this morning and have lost 5 lbs. since I met with you
less than two weeks ago. It feels unreal. I would typically have
to eat close to nothing for a week to lose 5 pounds. This
is very motivating." C. B. Pittsburgh, March, 2005
“After
two weeks on your program I’m eating a ton of food and am 10.5
pounds lighter. I feel thinner all over. I’m delighted and
I’m satisfied and I’m not killing myself with exercising.
Something is positively changing in my body. You
are just an endless resource of knowledge. Thanks!” A.J.
Pittsburgh, August, 2005.
"I am
doing well on your program. I have lost a total of 7 pounds
in 11 days and I feel wonderful. There have been many welcome
additions to my diet and I've been surprised to find them easy
and tasty I do not seem to have any problems and I
haven't been 100% dedicated to the program." L.W.,
Pittsburgh, August, 2005
"Being part of Deborah Barrıs Natural
Weight Loss Group has been an extremely helpful and healing
alliance for me. Iım learning a WHOLE NEW WAY to think
and feel about food, and the camaraderie and support of the
group are available to me on a daily basis. Deborahıs
assignments are teaching me that I can grow and change, even
after having tried many other weight loss methods. And her
recipes are so delicious. I am healthy, peaceful, happy and
satisfied. Iım losing the weight I wanted to lose, I can go
to a restaurant and walk away satisfied but not stuffed, and I
can actually share my popcorn at the movies and not resent the
person sitting next to me! Deborah's emails ALWAYS
arrive just exactly when I need a reminder or encouragement."
A. L., Pittsburgh, PA
"Anxiety and depression are lifting and that wasn't even
why I came to see you. Not only am I lighter (I lost 7 lbs.
since I saw you 3 weeks ago), but I feel lighter mentally and
emotionally. In addition, my energy has improved
significantly. Your approach to weight loss truly is
"holistic". I am practicing your "attitudinal" techniques and
am really noticing the connections between my mental state and
my weight. You've given me many useful tools. I'm only sorry I
waited so long to schedule with you." B.M. Erie, PA
"Four weeks into the recommendations you gave to me for
weight loss and I have benefited in so many ways.... I have
steadily been losing weight without weighing or measuring food
or limiting my food intake; the new foods make me feel happier,
content, sure of my self, more motivated, and I have more
endurance. My skin has also improved, and mentally I feel much,
much better. Overall, everything has improved." D.H.
Philadelphia
"I came to your
weight loss workshop initially to lose weight, but it ended up
to be so much more. I often forgot about losing weight and
focused on what foods made me feel good and the weight just came
off. It was amazing. And it's effortless to maintain my
weight. Coming to your classes has changed my life. Sounds a
little dramatic, but it's true." K.S.
"....I'm feeling really good! I've been enjoying
walking and lost another 5 pounds these past two weeks.
Occasionally I think back to some of the negative thoughts
that plagued me and they no longer have an effect on me.
I feel like I am becoming free. I am seeing and
experiencing new possibilities that are wonderful. I
no longer crave sweets. I LOVE ME! I feel like a
much younger person. I'm enjoying food for the
first time in my life. The ideas in your
workshop have been new to me and I've found it easy to
follow through on them...." J.D., Pittsburgh
"I
lost 20 pounds while eating large, healthy and delicious meals.
I now have more energy that is more even throughout the day.
I have also eliminated my problems with PMS & severe menstrual
cramps that had required medication." J.P.
"I not only lost weight (21 pounds), but my
health has improved immensely. After six weeks in your class I
learned how to eat healthier. I stopped all medication for my
blood pressure. My cholesterol has come down from 200 to 179."
Becky Trunzo
"I never missed a session. My health, my life, and
my knowledge of food and cooking have been forever changed for
the better. When I think about all the money I have spent in my
life on everything, I can honestly and wholeheartedly say that
the money I spent at Whole Health Resources is the BEST MONEY I
EVER SPENT!" T.C.
"With Deborah's help, I've
finally learned how to unlock health in myself by taking control
of what I put in my body. My back pain is gone and I lost 15
pounds in less than 2 weeks while eating more than I ever have
before." S. Allen
"Priceless
is the word I would use to describe this workshop. I learned
many tools that I can use in any situation to reach my goals. I
look and feel better than I can ever remember, and at the same
time am more satisfied than I've ever been." C.S.
"I
especially loved the spiritual perspective. It helped me
understand my weight problems in ways I had never considered.
The food part was enlightening (and I thought I knew everything
there was to know about food from my lifetime of dieting);
however, all the mind, emotional and spiritual information and
tips were not only useful, but instrumental in my quickly
reaching my weight loss goals and keeping the pounds off.
Very innovative. I highly recommend this class."
