Ever wondered how the Enneagram affects weight gain?
Hi Reader,
Type "Diet Books," into Google and you'll get a staggering 711 million results. That's a massive amount. Clearly, dieting is big business.
In an age when there are more diet products available than ever before, more of us are overweight. Something isn't right. To date the idea has been that we all gain weight for the same emotional reasons. I believe our Enneagram types strongly influence why we gain weight (and how we can lose it).
Personally, after spending the first half of my life trying to gain weight, I suddenly found myself trying, (mostly unsuccessfully) to lose it. This confused me. So using my Enneagram knowledge, I started researching dieting, weight gain, food purchasing, and exercising, to understand why.
I had a chat to yogi, holistic nutrition and lifestyle coach, author, and chef, Christine Okezie, from Soul Science about why different Enneagram types gain weight, drawing from my book: The Enneagram of Eating - How the 9 Personality Types Influence Your Food, Diet, and Exercise Choices.

HiReader I confess, this is a bit last-minute.com, but if you happen to be sitting around wondering what to do (which if you are a parent particularly is about as likely as winning the jackpot twice), I'm doing a free interview on www.transformationtalkradio.com at 10:00am EST/5:00pm JHB on Tuesday, April 5, 2022. That's today in about an hour or less. I'll be chatting about my latest book, Better Parenting with the Enneagram on the tricky task of parenting with Susan Dolci. We'll be...
Dear Reader I have to apologize for being so very absent in the past few months. I've been busy preparing my talk on Art and the Enneagram for the International Enneagram Association's Annual Conference which starts today. It's been a huge (and painful), learning curve, from writing, creating the video, and finding out how to edit. (Obstacle number one, was the neighbors turning their home into a very noisy 24/7 construction site, which didn't bode well for the recording...) But then there...
Hi Reader You’ve discovered these incredible Enneagram insights into yourself and others. Wow! It’s amazing, and so accurate. But, like any path to self-realization, there is the potential to get stuck or bogged down along the way. Enneagram Growth: It can be hard to avoid not getting trapped in dead ends as we explore deeper into ourselves. Because the ego wants to protect us from anything we may find unacceptable or hard to work with. These dead ends, swamps even, are places that seem fun,...
