You're smart, successful... but secretly struggling with food and your body.
Do you ever lie in bed at night thinking, "Why can I just eat normally?"
You've done everything right - clean eating, fasting windows, cutting carbs and planning cheat days.
But food still feels out of control.
You wake up with the best intentions... then find yourself knee-deep in snacks, shame and a promise to start again tomorrow by evening.
And your body?
You poke at your stomach in the mirror.
You tug at your clothes to hide the parts you hate.
You dread photos, holidays and changing rooms - any moment where you can't hide.
If this feels painfully familiar, keep reading because you're not the only one.
75% of professional women have a complicated relationship with food and their body.
You know there's more to life than obsessing over every bite.
But how do you stop overeating and feeling at peace - without giving up on your health?
I know you've tried everything to take back control...
You've restricted food and tried to be "careful"
But every new plan pushes you deeper into extremes. You're either being "good" - or bingeing, spiralling and then starting over.
You've tried belly-busting tricks & burning calories
BUT no matter how hard you try, it never sticks. Sure, the scale might budge for a week or two. But the weight - and the shame - always comes back.
You even tried to rely on willpower & portion control
BUT gritting your teeth through hunger only lasts so long. The cravings hit hard and suddenly you're eating cookies like a relentless monster. The guilt rolls in and you've failed (again).
You might be noticing that the old tactics just aren't working anymore...
Maybe you’ve been stuck in this cycle for years, swinging between chaos and control, and it’s exhausting.
Deep down, you know you can’t keep doing this.
You want something different - something that feels calm and sustainable.
A way to feel good in your body without food taking up your whole brain.
The thing is - everything you’ve been taught about how to “get healthy” or “fix your eating” has been part of the problem.
Diet plans, food rules, and body shame keep you stuck - they don’t create change.
Food Freedom Matters offers a different way.
It uses a powerful blend of psychology, mindset, and nutrition so you can understand what’s really going on and change it at the root.
This is the missing piece.
Once you have it, you’ll finally feel calm around food and confident in your body.
I know it's possible because I get feedback like this from clients every single day.
So how does it work exactly?
Welcome to...
FOOD FREEDOM MATTERS
A self-paced course to help you feel calm around food and confident in your body — without tracking, restricting, or giving up on your health.
Combining the latest in psychology, mindset, and science-backed nutrition so you can...
✨ Say yes to dinner with friends - without obsessing over the menu or what you'll wear
✨ Eat a few squares of chocolate and move on - no guilt, no spirals, no “I’ve ruined it”
✨ Go to bed feeling nourished and balanced - not battling food regret or starting another plan tomorrow
✨ Look in the mirror and feel at ease in your body - without picking it apart or wishing you looked different.
Here's what you'll learn
ON THE INSIDE
Phase 1:
Discover what's keeping you stuck & start letting it go.
Understand the thoughts, habits and emotions that fuel your struggles with food and your body, and finally start to let them go.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
-
PART 1: DISCOVER WHAT IS KEEPING YOU STUCK
Using simple psychology-based tools, you’ll uncover what’s really driving your eating habits and negative thought patterns, so you can stop blaming yourself and move forward with clarity. You'll finally begin to trust yourself again because you know what’s going on and what to do next.
Side note - you might feel nervous about digging into your thoughts and patterns - that’s completely normal. You’ll go at your own pace, and everything is designed to help you feel supported in your journey.
-
PART 2: UNDERSTAND AND LET GO OF BODY-SHAME
Here you'll uncover how external messages created unrealistic body expectations and the pressure to constantly “fix” yourself. You'll use mindset-based tools to explore your body image and gently ease that pressure, so you can start feeling more comfortable in your own skin, and show up with more confidence, without constantly worrying about how you look.
Side note: It’s okay if you’re not ready to love your body - this work is about moving towards less shame, not forced self-love. You'll also discover that change can only happen from a place of respect, not self-loathing.
-
PART 3: TURN NEGATIVE SELF-TALK TO POSITIVE
Learn how to respond to your inner critic with a more balanced and supportive way of thinking. You’ll stop beating yourself up around food and your body, notice unhelpful thoughts as they arise, and choose responses that support progress rather than keep you stuck.
WHAT YOU'LL HAVE TO GET THERE FASTER
- 9 high-impact videos, broken down into knowledge bites and step-by-step guides
- Impact of Dieting Assessment Tool, to identify how dieting has affected your mindset, habits, and self-worth - and start to break free.
- Mental Filter Mindset Exercise, to shift unhelpful thought patterns.
- Release Body-Shame Techniques + Journal to let go of negative body thoughts and build a more accepting relationship with your body.
- 4 x Body Image Exercises + Journal to create real change in how you see and feel about your body - using practical, reflective tools.
- Understanding the Impact of Core Beliefs Guide to uncover hidden beliefs that keep you stuck - and learn how to challenge them effectively.
- Self-Care Assessment Tool to check in on your emotional and physical needs - and start giving yourself the care you actually need.
- Self-Talk Checklist to quickly spot your inner critic and know exactly how to respond with something more supportive.
By the end of Phase 1 you might notice...
✔️ A huge sense of relief that your struggles finally make sense - it's not that you're broken, it's that no-one taught you a better way.
✔️ Less guilt and self-blaming after eating - you'll begin to see that food chaos isn't about willpower.
✔️ The first moment of kindness towards yourself - maybe catching that harsh inner critic and replacing it with something gentler (that supports positive change).
Phase 2:
Tune in and reconnect with your body - so eating feels calmer
Rebuild trust in your body by learning how to notice what you actually need, and then respond with calm, flexible and healthy choices that feel good in the long term.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
-
PART 4: LISTEN TO YOUR BODY'S CUES
Use simple, somatic techniques to reconnect with your internal signals, helping you stop living in your head and start trusting your body again. You’ll become more aware of physical sensations, understand what your body is asking for, and respond with care and calm, feeling more grounded and present in everyday life.
Side note - you might feel disconnected from your body right now and that’s not unusual. These tools help you rebuild awareness gently, without pressure.
-
PART 5: TUNE INTO HUNGER AND FULLNESS
Use practical tools and the Conscious Awareness Technique to recognise hunger and fullness, so eating feels calm rather than chaotic. You’ll stop second-guessing yourself at meals, feel more satisfied, and reduce the urge to binge or eat past fullness, and feel ,pre in control around food.
Side note: If recognising hunger and fullness feels confusing or hard, you’re not alone. This is a skill that takes practice, and you’ll be guided through it step by step.
-
PART 6: FLEXIBLE, CALM AND NOURISHED EATING
Use intuitive eating tools to move away from rigid food rules, so you can enjoy food without guilt and nourish your body in a way that truly supports your health. You’ll feel confident including all foods (without spiralling into chaos or binges). You'll stop obsessing over every bite, and enjoy flexible, balanced meals that feel good both physically and mentally, without tracking, rules, or second-guessing every bite.
WHAT YOU'LL HAVE TO GET THERE FASTER
- 8 high-impact videos, broken down into knowledge bites and step-by-step guides
- Somatic Exercise Audios + Journal to reconnect with your body and feel more grounded and present in daily life.
- Eating Style Questionnaire (identify the type of eater you are), to understand your eating patterns, so you can break habits that aren’t serving you.
- Mindful Eating Exercise + Audio to practice slowing down with food, and feel calmer, more satisfied, and in control when you eat.
- Hunger and Fullness Scale + Discovery Journal to tune into your body’s cues and learn what hunger and fullness actually feel like for you.
- Fear Food Checklist to identify foods you avoid or fear, so you can begin making peace with them.
- Food Belief & Thought Questionnaire to spot unhelpful food rules and limiting beliefs and start letting them go.
- Food and Taste Satisfaction Assessment to discover what foods you actually enjoy and how to feel more satisfied when you eat.

✔️ You finally know the difference between emotional hunger and physical hunger, and can respond to what your body reallly needs.
✔️ Meals feel calmer, easier and less chaotic, even when "trigger" foods are on the menu.
Phase 3:
Build health habits that stick, without guilt, pressure or perfection.
Build lasting habits around food, movement and mindset that feel easy, so you can support your health long-term.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
-
PART 7: PLAN FOR LONG-TERM SUCCESS
Use simple tools to clarify your values and build supportive habits, so you can keep eating in a way that feels good, even when life gets busy. You’ll get clear on your long-term “why” and create routines using the Creator System, so healthy eating and body confidence become part of everyday life rather than a constant struggle.
Side note: Building consistent habits can feel overwhelming - especially if you've been stuck in ‘all or nothing’ mode for years. That’s why we focus on small, realistic changes that support you long-term.
-
PART 8: MOVE IN A WAY THAT FEELS RIGHT TO YOU
Explore how movement can support your health without guilt, pressure, or a focus on weight. You’ll use simple tools to tune into how movement feels in your body, find routines that boost your mood and energy, and ease stress. You’ll feel strong, energised, and more confident, because movement becomes something you enjoy, not something you force.
-
PART 9: FOOD THAT FEELS GOOD AND FITS YOUR LIFESTYLE

You’ll cut through nutrition myths and use practical tools, including hand-sized guidelines, to build balanced, satisfying meals that support both your health and your lifestyle.

What my clients say...
You could...
keep trying to be more disciplined, follow another "healthy" eating plan or promise you'll start again on Monday. But willpower runs out, and you already know the diet or the plan won't last.
You could...
keep reading books, listening to podcasts or scrolling for tips. But information isn't the same as real support and a clear plan.
You could...
stand in front of the mirror repeating affirmations. But if you don't believe them yet, you'll never change the relationship you have with your body.
Food Freedom Matters is the only programme that brings together psychology, mindset, and nutrition science, so you can actually understand what’s keeping you stuck, heal it at the root, and feel confident in your body without relying on restriction or guilt.

Dr Lara Zibarras
Hey, I'm Dr. Lara Zibarras - the Food Freedom Psychologist
I’m Lara - psychologist, eating disorder recovery coach, and someone who knows exactly what it feels like to be stuck in an exhausting cycle with food and your body.
In my 20s and 30s, I spent years swinging between clean eating, dieting, restriction… and then bingeing, spiralling, and hating how I looked. I constantly felt like I was failing.
I thought I didn't have enough willpower, but now realise that the issue wasn’t ME, it was the food rules, the diets, the extremes and everything I’d internalised about how my body should look and how I should eat.
Today, I specialise in helping women break free from that chaos — using a powerful mix of psychology, mindset tools, and nutrition science.
I have a BSc, MSc and PhD in Psychology; I’m a Certified Nutrition & Wellness Coach; trained in I have an Advanced Diploma in Eating Disorders and Nutritional Interventions.
Not only have I lived it, but now I"ve helped 100s of women just like you, find food freedom - without ever going back to another plan, tracker, or the binge–restrict cycle again.
Watched your active lifestyle video this morning. So good! I got off my ar*e and walked the dogs straightaway saving my husband a job, making me feel calm and connected to nature and setting me up for the day.
I feel it has been one of the most positive experiences I could have had. I now have a kick in my step…. I have started going to the gym. I am going to Australia in six weeks and no longer dread the thought of showing off my mum curves. When you are so focused on your kids it’s nice to be doing something to make yourself feel good too and I thank Lara for that, and for her enthusiasm.
And for one of the first times ever the other night my partner offered me a donut in bed (he eats a lot of sugar which I struggle with being around due to my stories around having no will power etc), and because I hadn’t been super restrictive like I usually try to be, I actually noticed I wasn’t hungry and said “no thanks”. Woo!
The mindset shift has changed my life. I was so stuck in a negative mindset, up and down, and now I feel more settled. I'm happy in myself and happy with what I see in the mirror - someone who is finally smiling again.
Woah! This module has been so powerful, my mind is still whirring with all of the challenge I have heard to my 'default' position on dieting and my perceived lack of self discipline.
I am loving the course, thank you. I didn't think I was capable of giving myself permission to eat anything. But now I can! I never thought I had such a mental restriction, but you've helped me change that and I feel amazing now.
