Can Catholic prayer before meals help you lose weight?

It helped me lose 100 pounds… but maybe not prayer in the way that you think.

“Bless us, O Lord, and these Thy gifts,” right?

Well, it was a little more than that

It also was a little simpler. A little more interactive. A little more conversational between me and God.

It’s called the POUR Tool. It’s the skill I teach at the heart of my course Filled with Good: Theology of the Body for Food Addicts.

Here’s a demo of how this conversational prayer tool works in the moment to derail my cravings for food that isn’t part of God’s plan for my physical reality.

If you’ve been searching for a Catholic diet plan, Catholic spiritual weight loss program, or just been growing increasingly desperate for relief from emotional eating and compulsive food behaviors and want to lean on your Catholic faith as your path to a new way of eating with peace and joy, check out my course Filled with Good: Theology of the Body for Food Addicts.
