I EAT HEALTHY AND WORK OUT, WHY IS MY BODY NOT CHANGING?

Clients have followed diets and workout plans found online for years with only yo-yo results. As a health coach, I get to the roots of their weight loss difficulties and through nutrition, health and fitness coaching, find a lifestyle and plan that will ensure consistency, and therefore, long-lasting results. 

There is always a checklist I run through to find where they could have been going wrong in their health journey up until now.

THE TRUTH BEHIND CALORIE IN, CALORIE OUT WEIGHT LOSS METHODS

If I could permanently eliminate one myth from your mind it would be this: 

less calorie-in and more calorie-out = successful weight loss

This is a strategy 9 out of 10 individuals I talk to have tried, initially with some success, but quickly finding their way back to the same weight (or more) than what they weighed before starting. There’s so many factors that need to be taken into account when losing weight, from lifestyle habits and movement, to sex hormones, cortisol and thyroid hormones. So, I want to provide you some knowledge surrounding this strategy and educate you.

THE 4 NEED-TO-KNOW PHASES OF WEIGHT LOSS

Most clients come to weight loss coaches with a similar story:

They’ve been trying to lose and/or maintain their weight for years with unsuccessful sustainability.

They’re too busy to find time to focus on nutrition and fitness, they opt for quick fix diets and extreme exercise plans. The weight drops but the results don’t last.

THE SIMPLE SECRET TO WEIGHT LOSS (SPOILER: IT’S NOT A DIET)

Time and time again I see women turn to diets where they: Restrict foods they love, eliminate entire food groups, eat as little as possible and follow diets without understanding IF it’s right for their body and situation.

I see it leaves those same women high and dry without results, a worse relationship with food and a harder struggle the next time they try to get their body to respond.

Is this you too?

YO-YO DIETER TO HEALTH COACH: GIVING YOU TOOLS TO TRUST YOUR BODY

Trust in your body should be innate, but after talking with so many women hearing them blame their body for how they are feeling, I know it is not innate.

Have you set yourself rules like “no pasta or peanut butter” or “workout EVERY day”? These are not sustainable and will actually be hindering your efforts to lose weight. Your body will not trust you and you will not trust yourself.

Through making mistakes myself in a 15+ year pursuit for health, I have developed methods for gaining trust in my body that I now share with other busy women through coaching.
