25 years in the biscuit tin and still going strong – the box of snacks frozen in time

Experiment shows just how unnatural synthetic foods are

Looking exactly the same as we did 25 years ago might be a dream for most people, but for biscuits, snacks and bread, it demonstrates just how unnatural they are.

Therapist and best-selling author Marisa Peer has kept a box of biscuits, cakes and snacks for 25 years to demonstrate how ultra-processed synthetic food doesn’t break down or alter very much in appearance. She uses it when working with weight management clients to highlight how unhealthy processed carbohydrates and sugars are.

She bought the items as an experiment, only expecting them to last a couple of years, but they look almost as good as they did in 1997. Now the snack box is back in the spotlight as Marisa launches her unique new weight management experience, Dietless Life which promises people freedom from diets forever.

Dietless Life uses hypnotherapy techniques to get to the root cause of people’s unhealthy relationship with food, reframing their attitudes so they feel better and more confident about themselves. It also consciously and subconsciously reprogrammes their thinking around food which helps them to make healthier choices.

Commenting on Dietless Life, Marisa said:

‘People are always shocked when they see this box of snacks. I ask them if bugs and insects won’t touch the contents, why would they consider eating them and think of them as a treat? If bacteria won’t eat this, why would you? Over-eating is usually an emotional response triggered by a memory from something that happened in childhood. Reframe that experience and people find themselves with a renewed confidence and a different attitude to food’.

Over 12 weeks, Marisa will host a live, weekly workshop and bespoke group hypnosis sessions giving people a complete understanding of their personal overeating ‘whys’ and ‘hows’.

The program offers a range of additional benefits that are all based on Marisa’s methods and client successes over the years including:

• A new, unique hypnotic audio download each week
• A different hypnosis session with Marisa every week
• Strategies to change your relationship with food forever
• Techniques to increase your Resting Metabolic Rate, improve your digestion and change your food preferences.
• Therapy demonstrations and motivational lessons including the Number 1 reason diets fail
• Strategies to end stress eating
• Exclusive access to Marisa’s new book, Dietless Life
• Personal development workbook including client tried-and-tested tactics and strategies
• An accountability buddy allowing partners to mentor and support one another throughout the 12 weeks

The one-off cost is just $379 which is less than the annual cost for the basic membership and weekly fees of a slimming club.
