After a month with RFBC, I was able to do what I was not with over a year with a personal trainer: get more flexibility in my knee. The eating of the 'clean foods' on this program helps to clear out inflammation that had been hindering my flexibility. Thanks Carlene for organinzing sucha great program.

I have had a great 5 1/2 months, Carlene's guidance was absolutely wonderful. I'm not living in my fat brain skin anymore. I know how to eat well and I am taking action daily. I recognize when I want to eat out of non hunger and can make conscious choices. This has been a wonderful success. Carlene states on her site that her goal is to get you to where you can do it on your own. Well, I'm there and I'm soooooo happy. I feel great, I look great and best of all..... I know I'll continue to lose weight and I know how to do it.~Mo

The reason I keep coming back for these 4-week programs are two fold. Listening to the audio keeps better eating behaviors at the forefront of my attention for the day. I'm still making these new patterns of eating into habits, and the reminders help. - The second is the sense of accountability. Not so much that anyone is watching, but the expectation is that I will check in and let folk know how it's going. I look forward to hearing from all the others, and when photos are posted - I just think...me too - someday!

The best thing I've ever done for myself was to find Carlene's website and start Finding Your Perfect Diet followed by all of the Fat Brain Behavior courses. I admit that I have no will power but I do have determination. I was determined that I wasn't going to be fat for the rest of my life. I was determined that I could keep up with my children. I was determined to wear regular sized clothes and I was determined to look attractive to my husband. And ladies, I've done it and so can you.

Thank you so much for your inspiring and encouraging words Carlene, and thank you even more for coming up with this magnificent program which as far as I can see has so clearly evolved from your passion, dedication, heaps of work - way beyond the call of duty, hard-earned experience, wisdom and (tough when needed) compassion. You know how full of gratitude I feel to be a part of it, not least because I can truly see how extraordinary it is and what a precious thing you're offering to anyone who chooses to open the door of the prison they've locked themselves in and walk out into a new life. What could be more important than that?
I've continued to be both surprised and gratified by the consistent results I've been experiencing while on this program. I can honestly say that I now eat to live - and that's from someone who lived to eat for so much of her life and had never managed to find a way out of that. The combined elements this program provides have, quite simply, enabled me to not only turn the page, but open a whole new book! Between being able to co-create an eating plan that I continue to tailor to my own needs and preferences, the massive shift I was able to make while completing the enlightening exercises in the Fat Brain Lies workbook, and being on the receiving end of Carlene's guidance, know-how and unwavering support, I feel so fortunate and appreciative to have found something I'm actually enjoying rather than struggling with, as I watch a wonderful new life unfolding before me day by day.

Carlene is the best weight loss coach I have ever had in my life. Been through all kinds of programs, but she knows what it feels like, she knows all the tricks of the trade of the fat brain, and she just says the right thing at the right time nearly all the time. I could NEVER have done this without her coaching.
Also, This group is smokin hot right now. Guess what. Time to sign on and join up.

Raw Food Boot Camp is the most successful weightloss program I have ever done - period

I came here looking to loose weight, and the food plan is on the spot. Thanks to it, for the first time, I am loosing weight and I am half way to my goal. It is still very important to me, but more importantly Carlene has helped me experience (not theory, not promises, not plans) real experience of health and happiness. Sounds simple, it is. The plan is simple, like all the good things in life. It is each of us who can make it more complicated. The struggle is to keep it simple and to embrace with all your heart the possibility of experiencing peace with your place on this earth. It belongs to you, and is just awaiting for you to grab it.

I checked the site over and toyed with joining, but decided I could do it on my own. I mean I had just run a full marathon two weeks previous (and gained weight doing so) and I could always join later on if needed.
That next week I feasted--on trash. My diet was full of processed food, high sodium, fried food and the like. It was terrible. I was out of control and needed accountability. I joined the next Monday. Worse was that it was a bad time to join. My scheduled life was going to be out of control for a month and I knew it. I joined anyway. In the midst of all the chaos I have lost, and continued to do so.
For me this way of eating is the only way it makes sense. It's natural, healthy and is 100% effective if you follow the plan (small print: results are typical!). I have a ways to go in changing the habits of my mind, but I'm on the journey.

All of the programs I offer emphasis healthy whole foods, walking, and the importance of redefining your relationship with food. The percentage of raw foods in your diet is up to you. But I will tell you up front, the more raw juicy fruits and veggies you eat, the faster you will lose. I don't know why, but after almost 5 years of doing this, raw food has proven itself over and over again. Think of it this way. Calories in/Calories out is the true method of dropping weight. Using lots of juicy fruits and raw veggies just seems to give it a boost. For those like me, it is a huge boost.
Raw Food Boot Camp is an on-line support program.
All Programs Start the Monday after you sign up. If you sign up early on a Monday, you can start the same day.
Before Applying, please make sure to read about how RFBC Works.

Everyone regardless of weight is welcome to join this program
This month includes access to Breaking Fat Brain Behaviors I
This program is on-going and you can join in either at the start of the program, or the second or third Monday at a pro-rated fee. This program includes daily audios, accountability, and discussion based on what is going on with everyone at camp. Your percentage of raw foods is up to you, but eventually you'll up it. Not because I tell you to, but because you will want to! We also offer two days a week where those doing high raw can join in for an all raw day.
This group of women is the best group I have had in the almost 5 years I've been doing this. The support and encouragement is amazing. No one ever judges. There is nothing you have done, feel, or say that we haven't heard before or done ourselves. I'm not braggin, okay I am, but I'm serious this is a great place to be.
You don't get a personal log with Carlene, but she reads all posts and responds as needed.

This is the same program above for the 4 Weeks of Raw Food Boot Camp but offers a secondary level of support via a daily log with Carlene. At the beginning you will tell me the type of firmness you need in support from me. I can be a drill sergeant or I can be an understanding aunt with a firm hand. How firm is up to you. If you tell me you want to do Fast Weight Loss then I will expect you to work for it. If you need to figure out the best diet for you, then together we will do that. If you just want help getting through some tough times, we can do that too. All support from me is about you and your relationship with food.
This is different than the Fast Weight Loss Boot Camp. The exercise and food is based more on you than on my proven program for fast weight loss that I, Frecs, Stacy, Kara, etc. used. Here we will work to fit what you are doing into your life.

If you are willing to work hard for this, I am willing to put you to the test. I am always in drill sergeant mode for those that sign up for this program. It is 100% low fat, low sodium, low sugar raw food. You start with 1 hour of walking each day in your fat burn heart rate zone. By the end of the first month you need to be at 90 minutes of walking a day. I will not pull out my whip if you have a bad day, but I will make you take a hard look at why you fell off your program. It is only when we examine what we do, that we can start to take responsibility for it.

Finding Your Perfect Diet is all about discovering the right diet for you. I will encourage lots of raw fruits and veggies, just because they are so healthy for you, but this diet is one you design, with my guidance, to satisfy your long term needs and goals. In this program you and I will go through your food, find out what small things not normally allowed in diets may in small amounts keep you satisfied enough to continue where you would normally give up. I don't believe in labeling ourselves based on how we eat. Whether it is raw foodist, vegan, vegetarian, or whatever. Instead our goal is to be healthy. Being obese is not healthy, but being stuck in either be perfect or binge isn't healthy either.No diet, no matter how perfect, is any good if you can't sustain it for life.
Everyone starts on this plan at 1800 calories with a max of 30% fat (USRDA) and a max of 2000 mg sodium. You do not have to be raw. I will tell you that the more raw food you eat the better you will feel and the faster you will lose. One of my private clients who started her private coaching doing the Finding Your Perfect Diet, ate bacon! It took her a whole day to eat one apple and only if she could put peanut butter on it. Now she lives bacon free and eats tons of fruit and is losing weight at a nice pace. She tells everyone that she liked the program because she was able to do things on her terms and choose for herself that she wanted cleaner healthier foods, but the she always adds that she believes I was in the back ground orchestrating the whole thing. I'm not saying, but she feels great, loves her new diet, and believes she can do it for life. That is the power of having an open mind and doing things that work right for you.
This is really my favorite program. Although I love how fast you can lose weight on 100% raw and how great it makes you feel. My passion is for everyone who has suffered with obesity learn how to make peace with food and realize there is no need to obesess over it.

Listen in on the 4 Week Raw Food Boot Camp's Monday - Friday audios for extra inspiration. Be aware that these audios are recorded nightly in direct response to what is going on in the group.You do not have access to the group or Carlene. This is only for the daily audios. These audios are not available as downloads and each week are overwritten. They are group specific, so some days you will hear references to current members and things going on at RFBC. The audio are available from the date of purchase. If you don't want to feel like you are starting in the middle of something, start on the same day the 4 Weeks Raw Food Boot Camp starts. If you want to start earlier, then I suggest you pick a Monday to start. Everything is fresh then.
On-Your-Own Programs $24.95 - Photos and Weigh Ins not Required
Listen to the daily audios and read what others have said in the assignment area. You are welcome to write your own response as well. When you do this program you do not have access to the current group or Carlene. You are on-your-own.
Do at your own pace. Audios are created with Monday Start Dates. Once purchased you have access to the audios and assignment for 6 months. The Breaking Fat Brain Behavior Workgroups are purchased individually in sequential order.
This program is designed for those who have heard of us, but are a little fearful of the idea of raw food. It is also a great way to break that barrier between eating your typical diet and moving into a healthy one. It is five great days of audios, support, discussions and raw foods. Usually a few of my other current clients jump in to do it with us.
Many of us just don't seem to have the brain/stomach connection that tells us the difference between hunger and appetite, and full and appetite. This free 4 day program is a step by step process to show your brain and your body how it is supposed to work.
