Craving Change™ is a licensed program developed by a clinical psychologist and registered dietitian. It prepares clinicians to use strategies to help people understand more about what they eat, when they eat and how much they eat. The program focuses on WHY it is hard to change, WHAT needs changing, HOW to make changes, and most important, HOW to keep them.

Craving Change™ classes are led by healthcare professionals such as dietitians, nurses, health promotion specialists, social workers, occupational therapists and psychologists. Class leaders have taken training in delivering the course and have passed a test in order to become certified.
