Loraine explains how SDF differs from traditional diets: coach Jennifer doesn't give one-size-fits-all plans. Instead, the program uses bio-individuality, journaling, and community support to help you figure out what works for your body. As a new mother, Loraine could eat pizza and ice cream without guilt while still reaching her goals.

I think the biggest difference is that Jennifer is not going to give you a set out plan, even though in the first month your brain will be like, am I doing it right? What am I supposed to be doing? What sets this program apart is that it's so you-focused. And I remember in my first month thinking of what Jennifer Dr. Sett about bio-individuality and realizing that that healed so many of the thoughts, the negative thoughts and feelings, the resent that I had with diets in the past, with it not working for me, but my friend loses 20 pounds with the same effort and time. And kind of like the resent that builds up after years of trying to reach that goal weight that you've been desiring. The concept of bio-individuality tells you that you're— we're all different people, right? So maybe the next person can't eat pizza on Fridays and still lose weight, but maybe you can. Maybe they can have wine, maybe you need to cut back. So you're constantly experimenting with yourself. It's just you with Jennifer's support, with the support of the Community, with your journal. Really paying attention and working with your body. There are certain habits that will come very easily to you and there are others that will be harder. How can you make the process of reaching your forever weight and living your life in the present just go together, right? So what was important to me in becoming a mom was that I would never have to sacrifice, like, a core memory or, you know, make my family feel weird because I'm not eating ice cream or I don't want pizza, I don't want that stuff in the house. Like, I didn't want any type of restriction on my life as a mom. And that, that was really the driving force. I knew how to lose weight not eating carbs. I knew how to lose weight eating only 1,200 calories. I knew how to lose weight, like, spending 2 hours in the gym a day, 5 times a week. Like, I knew how to do all that. What I wanted to learn is how can I enjoy my life and not miss any of the fun parts of it and still be healthy and still move toward my forever weight and still feel good in my body? And that's what Jennifer delivers. It's a very individualized program that's going to help you learn yourself, learn your body, learn what works for you, and also help you learn how to challenge yourself and grow without any feelings of self-loathing or shame, which is in a lot of ways what the diet industry is based on. The, you know, the normal, traditional, mainstream diet industry is, it preys on your feelings of shame and your feelings of not enoughness. And that's not at all what happens in SDF. It's the complete opposite. It's about being more you, about loving yourself more, no matter where you are right now. And then growing from that place.
