Many people suffer from the diseases of overeating, bulimia and anorexia. Thousands have found relief and hope by joining CEA-HOW. CEA-HOW (Compulsive Eaters Anonymous - Honesty, Open Mindedness, and Willingness) is a worldwide 12-step program for compulsive eaters. The goal of CEA-HOW is to help its members recover from compulsive eating.
Frequently Asked Questions:
What is the cost? This is not a commercial weight loss program. There are no dues or fees to join.
How much weight can I lose? This will vary depending on whatever you need to get a normal weight. Members have lost between 20 and 100's of pounds.
How long do you have to do the program? We work on it a day at a time; however, you initially start with a 30-day program.
What kind of food will I eat? We eat protein, fruit, vegetables, fats, and whole grains.
Is special food required? No, our members eat regular food. You can easily find everything in your local grocery store.
Which foods do I abstain from? We abstain from sugar and flour. We also abstain from compulsive eating, which includes eating large quantities of food (overeating or binge eating), anorexia (undereating or starving), and bulimia (purging or overexercising).
Does it require exercise? No, members have lost all their weight without exercise.
Do I have to go to meetings? We do attend meetings where we support and help one another.
How does this program differ from Overeaters Anonymous? We have a structured food plan that everyone follows.
Why do you abstain from sugar? Sugar in our bodies makes us crave more food. Cut out the sugar and you will discover you stop being hungry.
Why should I do CEA-HOW instead of the other programs? We offer a disciplined and structured program. Our members have experienced significant weight loss or recovered from anorexia or bulimia. For most of us, the program addresses the root cause of our compulsive eating and leads to long-term recovery and maintenance.
