Nutrition Eve
Referred by Jens List member sararjacobs@yahoo.com
“I just finished Eve Lahijani’s nutrition workshop and can’t articulate how great it was. She taught us not to have any “forbidden” foods and that we can eat whatever want. The caveat was we had to be conscious and aware of what our body was craving and of the food we were eating while we were eating it. We food experiments where she taught us how to use these ideas in real situations. Everyone walked away empowered. Call 310-488-7239 for more info – www.nutritionEve.com.”
