What Clients Say
“102 pounds lost from my highest weight. You changed my life.”
This post has been a long time coming. 102 pounds lost from my highest weight (not pregnant). But it's not just the number. It's how I feel. No more binge eating. No spiraling when I overeat. I sleep better. I have more patience with my children. I have more energy. I feel better at 40 then I did at 25.
I am off blood pressure medication. Everyone in my family has high blood pressure. My mom, my dad, all my aunts and uncles. I am the first one to break this cycle with a healthy lifestyle. Even my younger sister still takes blood pressure medication.
I cannot say it enough. Alana Kessler you changed my life. - Jamille M.

“ Going through the Emotional Weight Detox and now the Sober Eating Sequence has finally given me the awareness and (more importantly) the tools to help meet this challenge with compassion and trust.”
I have spent almost my entire life battling with a negative and toxic relationship to food and my weight. Since a young age, I was told by my family that I was greedy with food, carrying more weight than I should, and that this was a problem that made me less lovable. As a result, I spent my entire adult life dieting, trying new fitness regimes, and dealing with orthorexia and body dysmorphia.
I'm now 40, run a successful business, and have 2 kids. I have finally had enough of living with this constant anxiety around food and weight, feeling like I am in a prison of my own making. Until experiencing Alana's program, I never undersood the relationship between restriction, cravings, binge / emotional eating, and the shame spiral - but honestly this is the exact loop I've been stuck in for 20 years.
Going through the Emotional Weight Detox and now the Sober Eating Sequence has finally given me the awareness and (more importantly) the tools to help meet this challenge with compassion and trust. The idea that I can learn to TRUST myself around food is kind of life changing. I don't know why I never saw it that way before, but it's totally the framework I need. I've spent too much time chasing the symptoms of this issue but not treating the cause. I'm so grateful to finally be on a path that I actually believe will have long-lasting results for me both mentally and physically. Thank you Alana!

“What I’ve learned through this program is truly transformative.”
“Before joining The Invisible Weight Detox, I never would have believed I was an emotional overeater. But this program opened my eyes in ways I didn’t know were possible.
I gained awareness around how, since I was a little girl, I turned to food whenever I felt anxious or needed to calm my nervous system, and I hadn’t even realized I was doing it. For the first time, I truly understand why I have struggled, and that awareness has been transformational.
Through the program, I’ve been given real tools, strategies, and resources that support my weight loss journey with kindness instead of shame. I no longer berate myself for old patterns. I no longer feel trapped by them. This program has changed not just how I eat, but how I see and speak to myself.”

“ This is truly profound work. Alana’s teachings and practices have already had an immediate, tangible effect on my relationship with food - and more deeply, my relationship with myself.”
For years, I have longed to transform the painful patterns I carried around weight, my body, and eating. Somewhere inside I always knew a more beautiful, peaceful way was possible. Your program is providing me the keys to actually create that. It's so incredible that I now feel such a greater sense of peacefulness and more self-trust.
I'm already finding it so much more effortless to simply be present with myself gently, no longer at war with myself. That shift alone feels like grace.
I am excited for what's still unfolding as I complete this program and step into the Sober Eating Sequence. I feel so supported in this becoming, shedding what was never truly mine to carry.
Thank you so much!

“Lately I've been noticing differences in how my body feels.”
“Just wanted to say l'm forever grateful to Alana and her infinite wisdom. Lately I've been noticing differences in how my body feels so figured I would post this comparison from last year to today. The most amazing thing about the difference between these two photos is that the changes came from a place of healing and love. It's been a challenging and beautiful journey and forever grateful for the mental peace I have now. I'm quick to discredit my wins and trying to get better about that. But have to say I'm proud of the healing I've done and will continue to do.”

“I’ve lost weight, but more importantly, I feel free.”
“When I started working with Alana, I had nearly a lifetime of emotional and disordered eating behind me. Honestly, I didn’t believe I could ever heal from it. But after finding her podcast and Instagram, something clicked—when I began working with her, I had the undeniable feeling that I was finally home.
I knew I couldn’t do one more diet, one more program, count another macro, or join another weight-loss plan. I knew the real work had to be healing something much deeper, otherwise I would just keep repeating the same maladaptive behaviors.
Right from the start, I loved how Alana removed the shame around wanting weight loss, while also guiding me to heal from emotional eating. With her tools, compassion, and support-I began making immediate changes I didn’t think were possible.
My life is completely different now. The way I see food has shifted—it feels neutral, not charged, and I no longer feel the urgency to clean my plate, eat to please others and use food to cope with every emotion. I’ve lost weight, but more importantly, I feel free.
Alana is a true expert in her field. What she offers goes far beyond just changing your relationship with food—it’s a complete overhaul of your life. I am endlessly grateful I found her.”

“ If you’re like me and have struggled with binge eating, dieting, and restriction, Alana’s detox course is absolutely for you.”
I have struggled with binge eating, restriction, and dieting for over 20 years. I purchased this course because it was finally time for a change and everything Alana shared in her sessions truly resonated with me.
For the first time, I really understood what emotional eating is and realised I had been doing it for most of my adult life. I loved the short, sharp information videos I’ve gone back to them time and time again and each time I pick up new golden nuggets of insight.
The biggest lesson in my journey so far (even though I’m not “there” yet) has been becoming aware of my negative self-talk. The way I used to speak to myself was honestly so sad. Learning to soften that voice and begin loving my body for me has been the biggest shift.
If you’re like me and have struggled with binge eating, dieting, and restriction, Alana’s detox course is absolutely for you. Celebrate the small wins, and remember if something happens, it doesn’t undo the work you’ve already done.

“I lost more weight than I even thought I could working with Alana and I'm a new person.”
“I still blink sometimes and say is this real life? After being single for 20 years, I found love or it found me. I healed my relationship with eating and lost weight but more importantly I lost the buffer that was keeping real, true love and meaningful relationships out. After a year or so of working with Alana, I ended up getting married at 43 and my whole life changed. The food and weight issue that plagued me and made me miserable, once chipped away at, revealed a whole new world of possibilities.”

“The journaling process put a spotlight on my food choices this week and I definitely made better choices overall. In 4 days I lost 6 pounds. I am super proud I haven't eaten mindlessly or binged in 4 days.”
Feeling so amazing this morning. The journaling process put a spotlight on my food choices this week and I definitely made better choices overall. I'm 4 days I lost 6lbs (now this is coming off of my work trip to Italy and eating a ton of gluten/dairy and water retention) but it's such great momentum. I head to Paris on vacation. tonight and really want to keep it going!
p.s. super proud that I haven't eaten mindlessly or binged in 4 days

“Every cent I paid you and am paying you is worth it. You helped me transform and keep going forward when I thought I was a lost cause.”
Every cent I paid you and am paying you is worth it. You helped me transform in a wild way. You helped me feel everything and encouraged me to keep going forward when I thought I was a lost cause—an irreparable mess.

“This feels surreal.”

“The best money I ever spent. I lost 35 pounds while eating chocolate and cake. Not only that ... I am happier. My skin is clearer, my hair is better because I feel better about myself. Alana is a Godsend.”
I first saw Alana's IG in August 2022. I was going through a tough time and everything she posted resonated with me so much. I reached out and she emailed me back but I was hesitant. We started working together in September 2022. And it was the best money I ever spent. I have renewed with her twice and will do it again. I have lost 35 pounds while eating chocolate and cake. Not only that... I am happier. My skin is clearer, my hair is better because I feel better about myself. Alana is a Godsend. I only wish I had found her sooner.

“I got a clean bill of health.”
I forgot to share the best news! I got a clean bill of health. Blood pressure is stable. I was given a plan to get off anxiety medication. I was prescribed 2 different kinds of blood pressure medication and now I only need one.

“I want to be free of binge eating disorder. There was stress today but I didn't engage with it. I am happier on days like this. I have more patience with my daughter. I am kinder to my staff. I am more present with my friends. I got this.”
After our session yesterday I was really asking myself if this is what I want to do. Yes I do. I want to be free of binge eating disorder. I refuse to drag this into my old age. I want to enjoy life while I am still young. There was stress today but I didn't engage with it. I am happier on days like this. I have more patience with my daughter. I am kinder to my staff. I am more present with my friends. I got this.

“I feel my meals are balanced and I am happy with myself as I stopped counting calories and macros. I feel less stressed about eating, which is already a big win.”
I feel my meals are balanced and I am happy with myself as I stopped counting calories and macros. It had become a dictatorship, my life was all about it. I hope this can help me reach my ideal weight anyway. For sure I feel less stressed about eating which is already for me a big win.

“From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank you for all the support and preparation you gave me to do this and feel more acceptance, love, relief, and happiness. I couldn't have done it without you and I know it is a big milestone in my life and future that I will never forget.”
So after the breakdown incident with my family, I went to a private lunch with my dad and I want to thank you because I was soooo anxious about telling him how I feel but at the same time I felt so ready and prepared to tell him how I really feel and how certain situations affect me. It was a super emotional lunch and weekend but have to say I 100000000000% feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulder and I've definitely noticed a change in the eating as wellI told him I feel judged by mom and my brother all the time, that her hiding food has a psychological effecti feel unaccepted and have lots of pressure that I'm not married because I'm not skinny. He learned a lot from me. At the same time, he did tell his opinion and that he disagreed with some things that felt because they weren't true at allThe best thing I got out of it was to open up finallybecause I am such a closed shell, and to feel safe to do so. And to hear from him that they love me and accept me no matter what at any sizeand that I need more softness on certain "pressures" So, from the bottom of my heartI want to thank you for all the support and preparation you gave me to do this and feel more acceptance, love, relief and happinessI couldn't have done it without you and I know it is a big milestone in my life and future that I will never forget.

“I was in Jackson Hole with my family, and despite having some lovely moments, being in a new environment with them brought up some stuff for me. As dark moments came up (about food, appearance, attitude, mood swings), I felt myself intuitively reaching for the tools that we worked on together, and after a couple days back in NYC, I felt rebalanced and aware of new growth.”
I hope you're doing well and have enjoyed your summer travels! I was just in Jackson Hole with my family, and despite having some lovely moments, being in a new environment with them definitely brought up some stuff for me. As those dark thoughts came up (about food, appearance, attitude, mood swings), I felt myself intuitively reaching for the tools that we worked on together, and after a couple days back in NYC, feel rebalanced and aware of new growth. It's a great feeling, and I wanted to let you know I was thinking of you and feeling grateful for our time together.

“Everyone is asking what diet I am on and they look really puzzled when I say that I am not dieting.”
My weight is 145.5 which is definitely a surprise to me, I feel like I'm more streamlined, more of an efficient eater but still freely eating and really enjoying everything- wrapping my head around it all - it's not a diet but it's integrating the foods I love and eating healthier overall. At last check up, was told that I should be 145 lbs. so it's interesting that I'm so close to that weight without even trying.

“I am so grateful for not overeating today. I think it was the first day of my life that I went on a vacation and did not overeat.”
This weekend was transformational. I am grateful to my old self. She got me here. I got it from here on out though. I am also crying but it's happy tears it's amazing of the whole world that is out there when I am not focused on food. I like shopping. I like legos. I like trying out new teas. I like taking photos with Characters. I like Christmas. I know I say thank you every time but you're truly a God send in my life.

“Working with Alana is life changing. I set to lose 5-7 pounds, but instead found a new me that I didn't think was possible! I lost over 15 pounds while gaining a healthier relationship with myself and food.”
In the beginning my choice to work 1:1 with Alana was a bit of a struggle because I was afraid to make the investment. Months into 1:1 coaching and the amazing transformation that I've seen in such a short time is pretty much miracle work. The investment I made to work with Alana is 100% worth it. She really gets emotional eating unlike any others coaches I've seen. It does sometimes feel like she's reading my mind. She really gets and understands the motivations and the energy behind emotional eating and the hold it can have on someone's life. With her support, I have been freed from the bondage of emotional eating so that I can focus my energies on living life in abundance.

“Nothing to see here again!! It's getting easier, Alana!!! A little bit easier.”

“I am honestly floored how well today went, not defaulting, putting thought and attention into my meals and meeting with you made SUCH a huge difference! Feeling so grateful.”
Dinner was a salad with falafel and pita. I had about 1/2 the salad and 3 pita points. I felt great, not too full at all. I felt hungry again by 8:15 so I had my coconut yogurt, settling in and getting ready for bed. I’m honestly floored how well today went, not defaulting, putting thought and attention into my meals and meeting with you made SUCH a huge difference! Feeling so gratefulI don't need to be an after thought or operate on autopilot. My body has been through a lot and deserves more care.

“Still feeling amazing.”
Today we had breakfast around 8 at this very fancy buffet overlooking the Blue Ridge Mountains at the Grove Park Inn. They had all sorts of amazing looking breakfast foodsI started off by getting a bowl of Chia seed pudding and topped it with granola, almonds and dried fruit. However, then I saw tofu, scramble and salad, which considering I didn't get a ton of protein yesterday, looked better to me or felt more what my body was craving. I did take both back to the table but ended up only eating a few taste of the Chia seed pudding. I thoroughly enjoyed it but maybe under ate a bit. Then we drove back home, I started getting hunger cues in the car, when we stopped there were some vending machine snacks, but nothing looked appealing or a aligned. When we got home 3 pm, I was fairly hungry had a green smoothie, some salad with hummus, and two grape leaves. Still feeling amazing.
