Imagine eating delicious food every day while still hitting your weight loss goals…
- Are you tired of starting a diet every Monday and ending up feeling hungry and moody, and craving junk food just a few hours after?
- You’ve tried to limit the calories of what you eat and reduced portion sizes but nothing you did gave you the results you hoped for?
- You’re the kind of person who eats foods that are “good for you” but you feel sad and unmotivated just to think about drinking detox juices and meal prepping?
- Do you want to sink your teeth into delicious food that gives you pleasure, keeps you full for hours and supports fat-burning?
Dear Foodie,
The more you abuse yourself with restrictive diets and deny yourself the pleasure from food, the further you’ll be from what you actually want: freedom around food and satisfaction with your body.
I know it sounds too good to be true but to lose weight one shouldn’t have to compromise on flavor, eat a low-calorie and boring diet or make one meal for themselves and one meal for their family.
In fact, after discovering the metabolic power of pleasure I urge you to do the complete opposite: to ditch the diet mindset, to ignore the adverts trying to sell you detox juices and low-calorie meals, and to feast on nutritious foods that will satisfy all your cravings instead.
As you will see firsthand in this book, pleasure is the secret ingredient that makes you thin and trying to lose weight by limiting pleasure is like trying to stop smoking by not breathing.
We can never increase our metabolism by limiting what is essential to life… more so perhaps than we could have ever imagined.
Hi, I’m Déborah Vitorino.
I’ve devoted my career to helping people heal their relationship with food, their bodies, their minds and their lives.
For the past 10 years, I’ve been guiding anxious minds and unhealthy bodies on a transformational journey towards experiencing dramatic weight loss, outstanding mental performance, and deep physical and emotional healing.
What I’ve uncovered after studying the relationship between our difficult life experiences and the manifestation of disease is a wide gap between the way Conventional Medicine treats us and what we actually need to do in order to live a happy, healthy and satisfying life.
Determined to revolutionize the way we take care of ourselves, I’ve combined the best of nutritional science and eating psychology with the principles of Functional Medicine and NLP-based Positive Psychology and created a holistic weight loss program that is changing lives, starting with my own.
My revolutionary method helped me heal my Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), break-free from bulimia and make peace with food, eliminate 15kg of stubborn fat and naturally carve out the body of my dreams (twice, actually; before and after my pregnancy).
The Gut Feeling Program® has also been tried and tested by hundreds of clients from more than 15 countries and has helped them shed up to 25 kilos of fat and tons of shame and guilt.
- Graduated from the prestigious University of São Paulo and the most renowned American schools of Neuro-Linguistic Programming, Emotional Intelligence and Holistic Nutrition

How is this possible?
Discover the metabolic power of pleasure!
Science has shown that the desire for pleasure is embedded in our DNA and causes us to seek out the feel-good sensation multiple times a day.
In the absence of pleasurable satiation – like when you start a restrictive diet – chemicals that increase our appetite will be released into the bloodstream.
The result is that we will be driven to eat more. We’ll start obsessively thinking about food, searching for something to fulfill that void, and if we don’t give our body what it wants we’ll never be truly satisfied. Nor free.
No matter how motivated you feel to stick to your diet, your brain will keep screaming at you “MORE FOOD!”, until it gets what it wants.
The only way out is to learn how to work with our body’s biological need for pleasure… and Pleasure is here to guide you on that delicious journey.
