Why are there no plans to repair or fix toxic relationship with food? For this price it's as much as noom or another similar program.

    You can get so much free advice here from people "in the know". Relationship with food will normally relate to events in life.
    I try to teach my clients that food is for nutrition, growth and repair. Things that are detrimental to them, should be limited. IMO, the biggest issue for overeating by many is how something tastes. It tastes good, then you're happy. And who doesn't want happy? Unfortunately, unlike a party, or get together or sporting event, consumption of food for happiness usually causes major weight issues. And of course other issues like depression, boredom or stress can cause people to overeat as well.
    I believe if someone can identify why they use food as comfort, then creating a plan to help overcome it will be much more achievable.
