Quick Start Course

Carmela’s approach is truly revolutionary. She puts forth a new paradigm that not only makes sense – it works!
~ Dana Lightman Ph.D

Create a body you love without diets, crazy workouts, magic mantras, pills or potions

Let me guess…

✅ You’ve done the diets – the high carb, low carb, high fat, low fat, fad, starvation and “healthy and sensible” diets – and realized that they don’t work long term.

✅ You’ve done the exercise programs – the high impact, low impact, plyometric, high cardio, low burn, mind/body programs – and achieved limited results.

✅ You’ve figured out that a “lifestyle change” is just a fancy way to say that a diet and exercise program is so convoluted that you have to rearrange your entire life to follow it.

✅ You’ve done your “personal work” – you’ve addressed your mommy issues and your daddy issues, your inner child and your inner critic, your self-esteem and self sabotaging behaviors.

✅ You’ve done your “spiritual work” – you can quote the Buddha, the Dali Lama, the Bible, A Course In Miracles and cite principles of Law of Attraction.

✅ You’ve done ALL this WORK – but nothing seems to really “work” for you. You’re left feeling frustrated, tired, depressed, angry or that there’s “something wrong with you.”

It Doesn't Have to be this way

welcome to happy calories don't count®

this is not

the “same old, same old,” tired and rehashed weight loss program, repackaged with a different spin. (In fact, it’s not even a “weight loss” program at all!)
 

This is an entirely different underlying core model that will literally change your life!

 
You see, the “problem” is not you! It’s got nothing to do with intelligence, motivation, discipline or willpower. The “problem” is the conventional, cultural “diet and exercise” model. The “diet and exercise” model is the root of the “food crazies” and the body shame and self-esteem issues.
 
To truly heal and transform, you need to work with a completely different underlying core modelHappy Calories Don’t Count® is that model. You will learn how to find peace and freedom around food AND create a body you love.

But Don't Just take My word for it...

Life changing!
If you have ever struggled with body image or weight loss/gain/loss you HAVE to meet this woman!

Carmela's approach is truly revolutionary

I was stuck. I knew from painful years of experience that diets didn’t work. And every alternative weight loss approach I tried left me feeling angry, deprived and frustrated. I thought the problem was me: I had a bad attitude; I needed to try harder.

Then I came upon Happy Calories Don’t Count®, and I had the revelation that the problem wasn’t my failure, it was the failure of the diet and exercise model. 

Carmela’s approach is truly revolutionary. She puts forth a new paradigm that not only makes sense, it works.

Following her five steps, I appreciate my body, enjoy my food, and made it through the holiday season having lost weight. No need for a New Year resolution this time!!!

the best tips from over 20 years in the Pilates Studio to boost results (No Workouts required)

i am so aware of how much I love myself, my body and my life!

I used to think that the biggest challenge keeping me from my weight-loss goals was simply my lifestyle. I’m an empty nester and I work from home as a Virtual Business Manager and Life Strategist and Coach, so it’s easy to fall out of a scheduled meal and workout routine.

But my big “ah-ha” from working with Carmela’s program – and it’s a DOOZY – is that once I stopped JUDGING my body and myself (yup, even a Life Coach goes there…) the weight just fell off – and continues to fall off!

I am so aware of how much I love myself, my body and my life (and all its ups and downs).

I have no cravings and when I do eat something that I used to think is “bad,” I just enjoy it and am good to go!

Lots clicked after I went through your course! It’s a great way to have huge mind-shifts! Thank you Carmela for sharing your story and your breakthrough – you are a “Star” in my life!

frequently asked questions

What’s a “Happy Calorie?”

A “Happy Calorie” is a concept. “Happy Calories®” is a whimsical expression I coined years ago to describe one’s relationship to food. One long-ago day, after hearing a Pilates client rehash the same negative self-talk over and over again, I finally exclaimed, “Look – it’s not about the chocolate. It’s about your relationship to the chocolate. “Happy Calories” don’t count!” This concept went on to become formalized into my proven, signature 5-Step “Happy Calories Don’t Count®” method. While the traditional, cultural “diet and exercise” model uses calories as a “currency of exchange” between food and exercise (or food and weight gain), Happy Calories® refers specifically to one’s relationship with food. When dealing with the physical movement side of things, I speak of “Happy Exercise®.”

Is this a diet?

Happy Calories Don’t Count® is not a diet. It is a framework for optimizing weight loss and well-being in a sustainable way. Happy Calories Don’t Count® is an entirely different underlying core model than the conventional, traditional, cultural “diet and exercise” model of weight loss.

Is this a weight loss program?

This program focuses on healing your relationships with food and exercise, body optimization and on total well-being. That said, by following the 5-Steps of the Happy Calories Don’t Count® approach, clients often experience weight loss as a bonus side effect.

Will this approach work for me?

While specific results can never be guaranteed, I have personally experienced – and witnessed in my clients – the amazing transformation this approach facilitates. The method was developed by reverse-engineering the process I discovered from healing my own painful – and life-threatening – issues surrounding food, exercise, my body and my weight. By following the 5 Steps of the Happy Calories Don’t Count® Method, you will find freedom from food and exercise issues, enhance your self-esteem, feel more confident in your body, optimize your physical results, and improve your overall well-being and happiness. And if you need help, I’m here to guide and support you every step of the way!

I'M WEARING CLOTHES I HAVEN'T WORN IN OVER SIX YEARS!
I had been thin all my life, but ended up gaining a significant amount of weight while dealing with an illness. I tried for years to shed the excess weight but nothing worked. In one afternoon Carmela helped me see how my relationship to my body and my thoughts about food and exercise had changed when I suddenly had weight to lose. The weight started falling off and now I’m wearing clothes I haven’t worn in over six years!

I FEEL LIKE A COMPLETELY NEW PERSON!
Carmela, I wanted to thank you! I am finally free from food and weight obsession. I have so much more space in my life - the time and energy to do things I enjoy and to be the person I want to be. Thank You!

THE WEIGHT FELL OFF WHILE I HAVE HAD THE BEST GASTRONOMICAL MONTHS OF MY LIFE!
I’d just like to thank you for everything: the book, the discovery session, and the one-word lifesaver of a tip. *Chill*. I followed your advice. Sure enough, the weight fell off. I am now free to enjoy my courses and have the confidence to present my work in class. And above all, if I never lose another single pound, I’ve discovered the things that make me *happy* and my head-space is a lot sunnier as a result.
