Dr. John Berardi teaches people to learn about themselves and how their bodies work. One of the strategies is the ” food and feeling” strategy, and this strategy is to show people how to take down data on what they eat rather than eating of feeling. The second strategy is “awareness-building practicing” which shows people how to practice their eating habits by tuning into their bodies which eating instead of losing ourselves. The third “Daily Observation” which helps people take up data that they can build on that brings a better lifestyle and health. The last strategy is “Reflective Journaling” which shows people what eating habits would work for them and which will not. It shows people what exercises choices and eating choices to choose.
