go to oa.org
There are meetings listed. both live and phone meetings.
I have never been on the OA diet, but I know people who are on it. They refer to it as a 'program' not a diet.

I don't think there is such a thing as an "OA diet". OA does not promote any particular food plan unless you want to do grey sheet (which is VERY, VERY strict).

The way to start would be to get a sponsor to give you a food plan. The best way to get a sponsor is to listen to phone meetings and jot down numbers of those that share or announce their availability to sponsor.

Good Luck!

I have been a member of OA for nearly 8 years. I was down 60 pounds and then relapsed due to family crisis (son became sick). AI went from a size 24 down to a size 14. At any rate the OA program has a suggested food plan but you, with the help of your sponsor define your own abstinence and food plan. Your abstinence is black and white and NEVER changes but you food plan shifts as you change. For example, some people stop eating certain foods some people eat food more moderately. It is a program of ACTION. If your willing to take certain steps then the program will work. Go online to overeaters anonymous and locate a meeting near you.
Many meetings are in churches, but they are NOT in the sanctuary--they are in social halls or classrooms. Many very frum women attend meetings there. The group may say a prayer at the closing of a meeting. If it NOT a prayer you are comfortable with just leave two minutes early. If you need more information feel free to PM me. Good Luck. The program works. It really does!

You either attend a face to face meeting or a phone meeting.
