25-year-old Tuckbox of Terror Contents Prove Junk Food Really Is Junk
UNITED KINGDOM: Looking the same as we did 25 years ago might be a dream for most people, but for biscuits, snacks and bread, it demonstrates just how unnatural they are.
Therapist and best-selling author Marisa Peer has kept a box of biscuits, cakes, bread and snacks for 25 years to demonstrate how ultra-processed food doesn’t break down or alter very much in appearance. She uses it when working with weight management clients to highlight how unhealthy processed carbohydrates and sugars are.
She bought the items as an experiment, only expecting them to last a year, but they look almost as good as they did in 1997. Now the snack box is back in the spotlight as Marisa launches her unique new weight management approach, Dietless Life which promises people freedom from diets forever.
Dietless Life uses hypnotherapy techniques to get to the root cause of someone’s unhealthy relationship with food, reframing their attitudes so they feel better and more confident about themselves. It also consciously and subconsciously reprogrammes their thinking around food which helps them to make healthier choices.
Commenting on Dietless Life, Marisa said, "People are always shocked when they see this box of snacks. I ask them if bugs, bacteria and insects won’t touch the contents, why would they consider eating them and think of them as a treat? Over-eating is usually an emotional response triggered by a memory from something that happened in childhood. Reframe that experience and people find themselves with a renewed confidence and a different attitude to food."
Over 12 weeks, Marisa will host a live, weekly workshop and bespoke group hypnosis sessions giving people a complete understanding of their personal overeating ‘whys’ and ‘hows’.
