Are you ready to lighten up for spring?

If your jeans are a bit snug
and you’re ready to end the winter sluggishness
then you’re in the right place.


heartsprouts1There's no judgment, shame or high-pressure yucky dieting here.

Only support, great ideas and a holistic way of approaching your body, your eating and your life.

With my healthy meal plans and holistic weight loss ideas, your jeans will be fitting again in no time!

Here's the deal:

bluejeansIt's that time of year again! The "I've got nothing to wear because nothing fits" and post-Winter sluggish season! (Both thanks to Mother Nature's attempt to help us hibernate and keep us warm and cozy during the winter months!). Every year, around this time, I do my usual "lighten up for Spring" program with my eating and in my life.

What does this mean?

It means I'll be bringing more awareness to the foods I'm putting in my body, focusing especially on the cleansing and high-energy foods of Spring. It means I'll be making sure my lifestyle habits are supporting, rather than detracting from, my health and my natural weight loss. And it means I'll be thinking about nourishing the other aspects of my life that have also gotten a little sluggish lately, to make sure I'm "feeding" myself on all levels.

I won't be dieting; I won't be depriving myself and I won't be making judgmental or critical comments about the way I look.

I also won't be stressing a lot about these changes, but instead will be bringing a sense of ease and care into the action (Seriously, once you figure out the steps in this process of maintaining a healthy weight and comfort in your personal body, it's EASIER than constantly struggling, counting calories, and wanting to throw the scale across the room. It's easier than getting dressed 10 times in the morning, and it's easier than dreading the beach or the pool).

A little about me

karen_and_hannahIf we haven’t met yet, I’m Karen Schachter; a social worker, holistic health counselor, psychology of eating expert and mom of two.

My first diet started in seventh grade.

I followed in my mother’s – and my grandmother’s – footsteps. Dieting (and trying to get your body different) was just a thing women did. When my body started to change with puberty, I was not happy. I remember eating “energy bars” or salads for lunch, counting calories, and obsessively feeling my stomach for bulges.

This diet led into a full-fledged eating disorder by the time I was a sophomore in high school. I battled my body constantly and most of my energy was tied up in concerns about eating and my weight.

Finally, when I was 23 years old, I had an epiphany…

The only way I was going to end my self-imposed torture was to “just do it.” It was then that I realized that instead of making food and body my enemy, I had to befriend it.

Fast forward many years later…

I became a clinical social worker so I could help people make gratifying changes in their lives, and then decided to incorporate my knowledge of and passion for food and nutrition into my work with clients.

I believe that girls and women have too much to do, too much to say and too much to share to be spending their valuable energy counting calories, struggling with their health and energy, or focusing on the size of their thighs.

I created this program because I want to show you how easy it can be to lighten up. Remember, this is a fresh approach - no counting calories or deprivation. I'm going to show you step-by-step how to release some winter weight gain, so you can feel great and move on to the more important things in your life!

Can I take you by the hand and show you exactly what to do? (I'd love it!)

Fotolia_31169523_XSI would love to take you by the hand, give you specific meal ideas, menu plans, and super-simple healthy recipes to make this easy for you too. (Aren't you sick of beating yourself up or trying diet after diet? Aren't you tired of being tired and thinking about what you "should" do?)

If you're like many of my clients, you are doing SO much already. Taking care of everyone else, running around trying to keep lots of balls in the air, and sometimes putting your own health and goals on the back-burner.

I get it and I so want to make this easier for you!

For the past 3 Springs, I've been guiding women through this exact process and the feedback has been tremendous. And I want to share the SAME thing with YOU this year. Easy, step-by-step guidance to lightening up both physically and mentally, so you can have a vibrant, energetic and healthy Spring and Summer!

What people are saying:

"I lost weight, but that was the least significant
change in my life."

When I first hired Karen, I said, "Just tell me what to eat so I'll lose weight". At the time, I was eating Lean Cuisines and Skinny Cows, lots of processed food. With her help, I transformed my diet, but more than that I transformed my life! I lost weight, but that was the least significant change in my life. I am happier. My relationships have flourished--with my daughter, friends, and family. I used to HATE my job. Now, I'm cutting back to work only 2 days per week at a new job that I enjoy, and I'm starting my own business so I can have the flexibility to live the life I want to live. A former penny pincher, I hesitated to spend the money to hire Karen, but I can now say it was worth every penny!
- Carolyn, Mom of a daughter

"Lighten up for Spring was really life changing."

Lighten up for spring was really life changing... I begin this year not only lighter than last year, but I've cut out coffee, nightly wine drinking, and the whole family is eating so much better. Lighten Up for Spring really was the pathway to some other positive changes in how I'm tackling my life.  I just want you to know how great your class was last year, and how grateful I am.

- Natalie (Mom)

"You make it so easy and it's so well organized!"

I am so very impressed and grateful for what you are doing. You are extremely generous. I didn't know how much or what I'd get out of this, but I can already see that I am getting A LOT. I just wanted to tell you how great it all is. I love that you send your notes! I love the recipes and weekly menus! And, I love that you tell us where to get everything! You make it so easy and it's so well organized!
- Betsy (Mom)

"I've lost weight...decreased my sugar intake...and I'm thrilled!" 

The program has been wonderful for me!  Since I started, I've lost weight, slowed down my eating, decreased my sugar intake, and I'm really trying to be more in tune with my body. I'm thrilled with the results! I am so used to counting points and I'm trying to get away from that and pay more attention to whether I'm hungry or not.
- Lisa (Mom of 2 daughters)

So here's the scoop:

You're invited to come along on this journey too!

As soon as you sign up, you'll receive immediate access to the program.

Fotolia_9795541_XSThen, each week (for a total of 4 weeks), you'll receive my:

  • Personal meal plans
  • Food journal entries
  • Easy and healthy recipes
  • Grocery lists
  • Meal plan template (to design your own meals!), self-care check-lists, and more goodies
  • Weekly 30 minute audio recordings, designed to educate and support you along your lighten up journey

It's all done-for-you, super-easy to access and a no-brainer to implement!

The program is designed to simplify your life and lighten up your body, while nourishing your spirit. Essentially, you will see EXACTLY what I (and a bunch of other women) did last year and the year before. You can follow my personal plans, bite for bite, or tweak them to make them fit for you, your body and your life.

This isn't another DIET.
Yes, I’m giving you meal ideas and tips, but you’ll learn my “Un-Diet” natural weight loss tips that lead to long-term success (and less stress).

Each week, you'll also receive a 30-minute audio recording to help you integrate these natural weight loss tips into your life. This is a whole new way of thinking about your eating and how you take care of - and feel in - your body. Each recording discusses different factors involved in natural and long-term weight loss and health.

It's not JUST about the food.

Stress, sleep, brain chemistry, mindset, and cravings also affect our ability to lose - or not lose - weight, so I'll be talking about those important strategies too. And I can practically guarantee that the information on these recordings is different than what you've read in other nutrition or diet books.

Trust me, if you just focus on diet, you may lose weight in the short term, but you'll get nowhere fast in the long run! (That's exactly what keeps people on the diet-overeating cycle!)

You can listen to these recorded classes anytime, anywhere and at your own schedule. You'll have access to this material for as long as I offer this program, plenty of time to listen, even for those of us with so much on our plates!

You'll also receive some surprise "bonuses" once you're "inside" for those of you who want to learn more, go deeper and get more support!

Sounds great, Karen. What's the bottom line?

Here's the great news for you! Because I'm able to reach more people with this program, I can charge less (a whole LOT less!) than working together 1:1. Of course, it won't involve as much individualized planning as working together one on one, but it will involve much of the same information I share with individual clients, PLUS my own personal plan that I implemented myself.

The cost for Lighten-Up for Spring is $297, but I'm offering an Early Bird price of $197 through April 1st, 2013. (If you need a payment plan, please contact me at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it )

 That's $197  for 4 weeks of goodies that will simplify your life, lighten up your body, and soothe your spirit!

So, if you're ready to stop stressing about WHAT to eat, and you're ready to let someone else do the thinking for you (for a change), then I hope you'll join me with a "done for you" approach to healthy eating, holistic weight loss and well, true nourishment.

Early Bird ends April 1st.

Yes, Karen!  I'm Ready!

P.S. Spring is the perfect time to focus on health, eating lighter and setting and reaching goals! It's the season of "renewal" and transformation, so nature is on your side!

P.S.S. This really is a unique opportunity to work with me at this level for this cost. First of all, I rarely offer anything related to "weight loss" per se, despite all the requests I have. I figured there are enough diet books out there already! And I don't want to play into all the pressure women already feel about being and looking a certain way. But I finally realized that I HAD to share my approach simply BECAUSE IT'S DIFFERENT. And I realize that the more women I can help to STOP STRESSING about their bodies and the food they're eating, the more we can all be role models for the next generation of girls! Won't you join me?
