3 7 Days of Pleasurable Weight Loss by Jena la Flamme
Welcome
Welcome Woman
Youre embarking on a journey that will unite you with a feminine force that will transform
your body and your lifepleasure. Pleasure is the missing puzzle piece that every
woman struggling with food and her weight needs to get her hands on.When she
does, and nally nds her pleasure, something magical happens to her. She starts to glow like never
before. She radiates condence. She becomes wildly attractive. And best of all, she feels absolutely
fabulous in her skinfully relaxed, yet ready to take on any challenge, including weight loss.
If you want to feel in love with your body and at peace with food, and you instinctively know that
calorie counting, food points, portion control and punishing exercise is not the way, then youll
be glad to know that this 7-day guide has none of those. Instead, I want to introduce you to a
pleasurable way of losing weight.
For over a decade, I struggled with a very painful relationship with food and my body. I ate
compulsively and binged, or deprived myself of food altogether. My unhealthy eating patterns and
food choices interfered with my digestion and my metabolism.
The result was twenty pounds of weight gain, constipation, poor skin, lethargy, mood swings, and
a sense of sluggishness throughout my entire system. Worse, my body image and self-esteem spiraled
down.
Heres why I strongly believe pleasure needs to be your
central focus for successful weight loss.

Welcome
Then a dening moment happened. I discovered that pleasure is the key to losing weight.
I realized that the secret to losing weight is not about enjoying less, its about enjoying more. I
found out that the path to losing weight does not boil down to simply eating less and exercising
more as weve all been lead to believe. Slimming down permanently happens as a natural side-
effect of embracing a whole new way of relating to your female body and to pleasure. Even if youve
struggled with food and your weight all your life, youll be amazed at how being kind and loving
to your body, as if she were a cherished creature under your care, and making choices based on a
pleasure-positive attitude, can be the spark that ignites lasting transformation.
I am excited to serve you a pleasurable new way to live and relate to food and your body with
this 7 Days of Pleasurable Weight Loss program.Youll be amazed at how just a few simple
principles, practices and recipes wil l boost your metabolism,while tantalizing your taste buds
and heightening your enjoyment of life.
Woman, I assure you, youve suffered enough. Now its time to grant yourself permission to give
the alternative - the pleasurable approach - a go. This is my warmest invitation for you to join me on
this ride.
Thank you for being part of the Pleasurable Weight Loss community.
With love and support,

What you can expect
Enjoying the pleasure of food as well as all the sources of enjoyment that life has to offer are the keys to losing weight
pleasurably. Above all, food is not your enemy! The real obstacle to you looking and feeling your best is the trig gering of
your bodys ght or ight stress response that signals your body to protect itself by storing weight.
Just as science shows us that stress can cause weight gain, fortunately, the reverse is also true:
relaxation, pleasure, and sensuality create the metabolic conditions that stimulate weight
loss.
When you create a life that is truly pleasurable, your relationship with food becomes more naturaland intuitive, and when you learn to eat with pleasure, your brain and body work together to tell us
when to eat and when to stop, without the need for restriction or control.
Over each of the next 7 days, youll get a:
Pleasurable Point of View

As you journey through the next seven days, please remember, pleasure is a trustworthy, intell igent
guiding force.
It is a vital daily nutrient. Instead of controlling, restricting, and pushing yourself, these days are
your opportunity to awaken your senses to pleasure and reinvent your relationship with food,
as you enjoy this feminine approach to weight loss.
As you journey through the next seven days, please remember,
pleasure is a trustworthy, intelligent guiding force.

a little more of what you can expect
Pleasurable Points of View
What you believe to be true about your body and pleasure
translates into the experience you will have in the world. For
example, in order to feel really great in your skin, you need to rst
deeply believe that you deserve to feel good. In each day of this
7 day program Im going to teach you what I call a Pleasurable
Point of View. These are beliefs and frames for understanding
reality that will let go of feeling guilt or ashamed about
experiencing pleasure, and instead will help you establish how tohave an appropriate, mature relationship with pleasure, that helps
you with a peaceful relationship with food, sustainable weight loss
and much more.
Pleasurable Eating Practices
The Pleasurable Eating Practices are backbone practices that
support a pleasurable weight loss journey. By making a point to
eat with attention to pleasure, you heighten your calorie-burning
efciency every time you eat. In a diet culture obsessed with what
to eat and how much of it, a surprisingly overlooked weight loss
secret is to focus on how you eat. With these practices, that youll
discover one per day over the next 7 days, youll be supported to
lose weight without ever depriving yourself of pleasure with food
ever again.
Recipes for Pleasurable Cooking
Its important to remember that Pleasurable Weight Loss is not a
food plan. Theres no calorie counting or points. This approach is
not designed to restrict you or deprive you of anything. Its aboutenjoying natural, healthy, delicious food that awakens the senses.
Its about savoring every bite, so much so that you no longer have
a desire or need to overeat because you are so satised by your
experience. Resisting cravings is no fun. But getting curious about
how to respond to your cravings with yummy, sensuous, easy-to-
make recipes can be very entertaining and a good time for you
and your friends and/or family.

day one
A Pleasurable Point of View
Most of us grow up with the
notion that pleasure is a luxury
and an occasional reward for
hard work. But the truth is, we need to tap
into pleasure, relaxation and sensuality on
a daily basis or our body senses somethingimportant is missing. When we deprive
ourselves of reliable access to simple and
diverse sources of delight, we are vulnerable
to making up for what we are missing with
food.
The point of view Id like you to adopt is
that pleasure is a necessary daily nutrient.
Cheating yourself of pleasure simply isnt
an option, yet by bringing your consciousattention to full ling this need, you can
respond to your innate attraction to feel good
in healthy and sustainable ways that support
your pleasurable weight loss.

Pleasurable Eating Practice
Relax Before You Eat
Just as re needs oxygen to burn, your body requires a steadysource of oxygen which you provide through deep breathing
to maximize its calorie-burning efciency. In just one or two
minutes, deep breathing can signicantly increase your oxygen
intake and ignite your metabolism.
Whenever you prepare to eat, rst take several deep, conscious
breaths to relax your body and mind and to prime your digestive
re with oxygen. As you continue to pay attention to breathing
deeply and stay present with the experience of eating, you will
become more relaxed, and the result is that you will be satisedsooner and nd that you eat less.
What do you need:1 piece gluten-free or ancient-grains breadButter or non-dairy butter spread1 eggsalt and pepper to taste

EGG IN A NEST
How to prepare it?Using the rim of a small drinking glass, press a hole in the center of the bread.Heat a small pat of butter or non-dairy spread in a medium pan until melted. Place bread in
pan and crack egg into hole. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, paprika, and cinnamon, and cook onmedium heat for about 4 minutes. Flip egg and bread and cook another 4 minutes, sprinklingwith additional salt, pepper, paprika, and cinnamon.To serve, place bread and egg on a plate and top with sprouts, sunflower seeds, or maple syrup.If you prefer a savory dish, drizzle with olive oil and juice from a lemon wedge, and sprinklewith salt.

day two
A Pleasurable Point of View
We live in a disposable culture where things are no longer made to last. When things
break they are no longer repaired and are simply replaced. Its no wonder that when we
are conditioned to think of our bodies as possessions that we become frustrated when
we struggle with weight and food. We know we cant replace our bodies, but we wish we could!
The truth is that your body is not an object, but a living, breathing, feeling, decision-making
animal. Your body is a female creature. A she, not an it. She is not at all disposable and she is
absolutely irreplaceable. She is al ive. And though it seems like she is stubborn and cant, or wont,
change to part with her patterns with food or her protective extra weight, her very nature is change
itself and she is capable of the greatest transformation.
The point of view Id like you to adopt is that your body is not broken or awedshe is a wise
being who simply has been misrepresented and misunderstood. Embrace the perspective that like
any other wild animal or plant, your female body, or as I like to say, your female animal, is plugged
in to the intelligence of the Mother Earth. She knows much more than your mind has been willing
to give her credit for.
Going forward, give your body the utmost respect. No matter how you unhappy you may feel
with your weight or your relationship with food, pay respect to the wisdom that is so profoundly
ingrained in your female body that it cant be lost. The more respect you have for your body, the
more she will reveal to you her secrets to create a sustainable and pleasurable solution.

Pleasurable Eating Practice
Smell the Food
Whenever you sit down to a meal, bring yourself to a relaxed
state and take a moment to deeply smell your food. You can dothis by either taking long, slow inhalations, or rapid sniffs, or a
combination of both. Allow the aroma of the meal to be a distinct
aspect of the overall pleasure of your eating experience.
Consciously smelling your food helps to activate efcient
digestion, which of course supports pleasurable weight loss.

A Pleasurable Point of View
One of the tragedies of what I refer to as the punishing strategies for weight loss is that
we become so stressed out about eating the right thing in the right amounts to lose
weight--or ashamed that we are not--that the act of eating becomes wrought with stress
and tension. Because stress is a trigger for weight gain, this type of approach never works and it is
essential to learn to relax at the table and enjoy food again.
The point of view Id like you to take on is that eating is intended to be a pleasurable, relaxing,
guilt-free experience. We are bombarded with media ads that distort our natural relationship with
eating, but at our core we are still animals that instinctively know how to experience life through the
senses, and how to feel naturally tuned in to what we need to eat.
When your body and mind relax while you eat, you are able to hear the inner voice of your body.
In order to let go of old patterns of rushing through meals, eating with guilt or multi-tasking so that
you can have more pleasure out of the experience, take your attention off what you are eating, and
for now focus on how it is you are eating.
To get more enjoyment out of your eating experience, let it be infused with sensuality. Be the
curator of the atmosphere of your eating environment. Sit at a table with your spine straight, versus
being hunched over on the couch. If you are by a window, savor the outside view as you munch.
Serve your food on plates that you like the look and feel of. Use cloth napkins. For bonus points,
keep your phone out of sight, light candles, or put on some soothing background music to create the
mood.

Seek Pleasure in Every Bite
Youll nd that when you eat with pleasure, incredible things
happen. You smile, relax, and appreciate the beauty of who youare. All your senses come alive, and you are more present to
the world. You signal your metabolism to ramp up your calorie-
burning efciency because youre not in a stress state.
When you eat with sensuality, you heighten the pleasure of the
meal by slowing down and deliberately savoring the experience
through your senses. The aim is to extract as much pleasure from
the food and the eating experience as you can to heighten your
metabolism.

day four
A Pleasurable Point of View
Because the work of cooking for families so often lands on womens shoulders, whether they like it
or not, it is easy to fall into a relationship with cooking where it can feel like a punishing chore. Yet
it doesnt have to be that way. When approached with a pleasure-positive attitude, cooking can be yet
another opportunity to bring more pleasure into our lives.
The point of view Id like you to embrace is that you can use the cooking process itself as an
opportunity for you to relax and immerse in pleasure through the sensual exploration of color,texture, taste and aroma. In an increasingly mechanical and electronic world, the act of cooking
invites us to slow down and be present with our senses. Touching fresh food with our bare hands
is the next best thing to being out in a garden, forest or park, in terms of connecting us with the
Mother Earth.
When you are in the kitchen, you can take risks and be experimental, and with practice, cooking
wil l become an opportunity for fun and a venue for creative expression. Let cooking be an act of
improvisation and inspiration. If you dont have all the ingredients you need, bring your creative
feminine powers into the kitchen. Experiment swapping some ingredients with replacements of the
same taste category. Imagine that you are an alchemist making magic out of everyday ingredients.

Master the Art of Chewing
There is something very relaxing about thoroughly chewingyour food, and it also helps you enjoy the whole spectrum of
tastes and aromas that make up the meal. Ive found that chewing
makes food taste better and increases the pleasure of every bite.
Chewing initiates the release of enzymes that allow your body
to assimilate more nutrients from the food you eat, prevents gas
and bloating, and makes digestion more efcient. When you are
in touch with the mechanics of eating, youll be able to better
identify the point at which a particular food no longer adds
pleasure because youll be present to your meal.

How to prepare it?Preheat oven to 450 degrees.Toss potatoes to coat with salt, pepper, oil, and caraway seeds. Place on a large baking sheet and
roast until cooked through and brown on outside, about 30 minutes.Coat salmon fillets lightly with salt.Heat a large pan at medium-high heat. Place fillets in pan and cook uncovered for 5 minu-tes. Flip fillets over to other side and cover. Cook for another 5 minutes. To check if salmon iscooked, pull apart and check the middle: meat should be opaque and soft, while outside will bebrown and crispy. Remove from heat and serve with potatoes, dill sauce, and a green salad.

A Pleasurable Point of View
If youve been struggling with your weight for long enough, you may have come to interpret
your weight gain as a sign that your body has failed you. But this interpretation is all wrong, and
furthermore only makes matters worse because of the extra stress it creates.
The point of view Id like you to embrace is that your weight gain is your female bodys cry for
attention. It is her wordless way of saying, Help!. It is her passionate attempt to tell you that she
has needs. She wants your love, forgiveness and understanding. She wants your positive, supportiveattention, and wants to be liberated from criticism and shame.
Your body is always trying her best to serve you. Let her know that no matter what, you value her
essential role in your life. She is your one and only body. Always approach her from a compassionate
perspective and make it your mission to give her loving attention in all the ways she needs it.

Eating to the Point of Energy
The way this technique works is to pay close attention to your energy level before you eat and asyou eat. Youll nd that before you eat, your energy is low. Thats your bodys way of indicating that
food is needed. Then, as you eat, your energy will increase.
If youre still not a vegetable fan, this delicious fruit smoothie will transform your relationship
with greens to make it a pleasurable experience you look forward to, so you can get your greens any
time of the day. You will feel more alert, less t ired, and more energized. When youve had enough to
eat, your energy will start to go down.
The trick is to stop eating just at the point when you rst feel your energy dip. When youve gone
even one bite past that point of energy, youll start to feel heavier and fatigued; thats the indicationthat its time to stop.

A Pleasurable Point of View
Its a common belief that in order to for exercise to help you lose weight it simply needs to be
functional. If it burns calories and builds muscle, that should do the trick. However, in reality, if
you nd the form of exercise you are putting yourself through to be boring or painful, the very
actions that are meant to help you lose weight can cause you to gain it due to the stress they
generate!
The point of view Id like you to embrace is that exercise cannot be punishing if it is to be
effective for lasting weight loss. It must be something you look forward to so that you are
motivated to continue it. And it must be stimulating and enjoyable for you to stay fully engaged
with the process. Thats why Im completely against what I call punishing exercise, and Im all
for pleasurable movement.
Each of us, no matter how heavy or out of shape we feel, can nd some way of moving our
body that feels energizing and inspiring. Do your research to nd the movement modalities
that attract you and give your female body permission to take the lead to discover the ways of
moving that bring her delight.

Breathe While You Eat
As you eat, breathe consciously through your nose and enjoyyour food at a relaxed pace. I cant emphasize enough the power
of consciously breathing while you are chewing to completely
change your relationship to food. Every few minutes put down
your fork, and take a mini-breath and relaxation break.
Stop chewing, and continue breathing deeply, savoring the smell
of the food and allowing yourself to relax into the experience.

A Pleasurable Point of View
We live in a world where we are constantly bombarded with the phrase not enough. We fear
that we dont have enough money or time or beauty, and we internalize that our bodies will never be
good enough as if it were true. But its not. The whole notion of your body not being good enough is
a made up concept that I want you to disregard.
Instead Id like you to embrace the point of view that your female body is, always has been, andalways will be enough, simply by being. Remember, she is the force that keeps you alive! Without
her youd be dead. No matter her aws or imperfections, she is plenty worthy of your admiration
and devotion. Yes, you can always develop your body in new and different ways, but if nothing ever
changed, know that you are enough, and she is enough.
When you are will ing to let your body be enough,
a beautiful thing happens. Just as not feeling
enough is incredibly stressful, when you can
settle into knowing that you are enough, you
can relax. And when you do, that is whenyour metabolism is primed for easy weight
loss. Loving your female body rst, wholly
and unconditionally, and free from critical
judgments of the mind is the key to peace
with yourself, with food and to experience
lasting, pleasurable weight loss.

Pleasurable Eating Practice
Eat Slowly and Sensually
Slow eating invites sensuality and presence. When you eatslowly, it allows you to derive more sensory pleasure from the
experience, and because you receive more enjoyment from eating,
you are satised sooner and ready to put down the fork, without it
being a discipline to stop.
When you eat slower, you metabolize faster. Because eating
slowly helps you eat less without feeling in the slightest way
deprived, it is one of the secrets of pleasurable weight loss.

I lost 40 pounds AND have completely trans-formed my romantic relationship. To havethe freedom around food has been tremendo-usI can AT LAST live my life.
Ive been on and off diets for most of mylife. I couldnt keep foods like cookies or icecream in the house, because they would setoff a binge for me. Id finish the lot! Weight
gain, of course, resulted and constant anxie-ty. Food is everywhere and when I couldntbe comfortable around it, I was constantlyuncomfortable.
Being overweight was affecting my rela-tionship with my fianc. Our sex life haddiminished. I was really sensitive to any
comments he made about my body. If thecomment was either negative or neutral, Itook it as an insult, and if it was a compli-ment I never believed him! This created a lotof stress in our relationship!!
Through my work with Jena I have lost 37pounds and kept it off. My cholesterol hasgone down from 208 to 128. I now eat to live,not live to eat. Food is no longer a full-time
job for me.
I used to use food as a drug. It made me feelgood, and covered up pain, loss, insecurity,stress, and a myriad of other issues. I was 212
pounds. It was costing me my entire life, to
the point where I could barely even function.
