After spending nearly her entire life dieting, Golda decided in 2007 to stop dieting and start listening to her body. In 2008, she founded Body Love Wellness, a wellness company that provides individual and group counseling from a Health At Every Size perspective. Using her background in nutrition and holistic health, she now counsels women and men on how to get off the dieting roller coaster, give their bodies what they really crave, and love their bodies and themselves.

In addition to counseling clients throughout the country, Golda teaches workshops on healthy eating without dieting, intuitive eating, and radical body love. She is also a featured weekly columnist on the web site More of Me to Love, has written articles for Jezebel.com and Daily Venus Diva, and has a popular podcast on body acceptance and intuitive eating as well. Golda’s counseling programs and activism work have been featured on CBS’s The Early Show, ABC’s Nightline, NBC’s LX New York, Psychology Today and Time Out New York, among others.

In June 2010, Golda’s book on healing from dieting, Stop Dieting Now: 25 Reasons To Stop, 25 Ways To Heal was published in paperback and kindle editions.

Golda has a degree in health counseling from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, as well as B.A. in history from New York University and a J.D. from New York University School of Law.

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Golda Poretsky

"You are not broken. You are not a problem to be solved. Solving your “problem”, whatever you perceive your problem or problems to be, is not the key to happiness."

"With Health At Every Size, you learn about real nutrition, you eat real food, you reconnect with your body, you learn how to listen to its cues and feed it in a way that makes sense for you. You learn to trust yourself and your body. You have bigger portions when you need them and smaller portions when you need them. You let go of restrictions in a new way, so that food loses its power and becomes what it is — nutrition, fuel, pleasure."

"We live with the idea that weight loss is a healthy goal, deserving of promotion. Not true at all. First of all, diets don’t work. They really don’t. The one or two people that you know that lost weight on a diet and kept it off for more than 5 years are statistical freaks. Dieting wreaks havoc on the body, affecting everything from your immune system, to your cardiovascular system, to your stamina and mental health, to your body image. Oh, and don’t get me started on the incredible dangerousness of weight loss surgeries. If anyone tells you that their plan promises long term weight loss, they are lying to you. If they promise weight loss and fail to mention whether it will be long term or not, they are deceiving you."

Other highlights

If you’re a woman in our society, chances are you’ve got some food and body image issues.

You’ve probably tried what you could to change things for yourself– from diets, to exercise programs, to cleanses, to self-created “I-will-only-eat-lettuce-and-tictacs-for-a-week-so-I-can-fit-into-the-dress” programs.

Really, how exhausting!

And how unfair. How unfair that you’ve spent precious minutes, hours, and days of your life worrying about what you’re eating and how you look. How unfair is it that while you were worry about all this, you could have spent your time enjoying yourself and creating a life that you truly desired?

So I have a question for you. How many of these statements apply to you?

  • I hate my body or parts of my body.
  • Eating and choosing what to eat stresses me out.
  • I’m tired of dieting.
  • I’ve been dieting for years and I keep losing and gaining back the same weight, plus more.
  • I often overeat at night.
  • I often overeat when I’m stressed out.
  • I have no willpower.
  • I have no sense of portion control.
  • I feel uncomfortable in my own skin.
  • I feel judged or judge myself for how I look.
  • I need to lose ____ pounds before I can do ____.
  • A doctor told me that I have to lose weight before s/he can treat me.
  • A doctor told me that losing weight will clear up a disease.
  • I am considering weight loss surgery (WLS).
  • I had weight loss surgery and I’m having issues with it.

If even one of the above applies, then Body Love Wellness is a great choice for you.
