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.
Why? This myth can be so damaging.
4 'MAGIC' FOODS YOU NEED TO SUPPORT HORMONES AND METABOLISM
I get a lot of women coming to me with what they call a ‘slow metabolism’. Usually this is due to desiring weight loss or fat loss. However, there are many roles your metabolism plays in your health that are important to know including: converting food and drink into energy to sustain life, and bodily functions like building and repairing the body and getting rid of waste (all of which are directly affected by hormone regulation playing a role in fat distribution, appetite and energy burning).
THREE BIG MISTAKES CLIENTS MAKE IN THEIR WEIGHT LOSS JOURNEY
No matter the efforts we make to be successful on our health and weight loss journeys, there will likely always be obstacles and speed bumps we hit along the way that are out of our control. I aim to teach my clients, and want to teach you how you can hold steady amidst the chaos, busy and out of control feeling moments, so in this blog, I’ll highlight three of the most common mistakes I find people make (including me!) and show you how to navigate them to help you stay consistent even when you can find every reason… not to.
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.
Sound familiar? Thought so and girl, you’re not alone.
HOW TO BUILD A SUCCESSFUL WEIGHT LOSS STRATEGY
Whether you are changing body composition, losing weight, decreasing body fat, increasing muscle or desiring to look more ‘toned’… you are not going to achieve a sustainable result by using restriction, a quick/fix or any extreme method.
Most fail in their weight loss results because they fail in their strategy. You must be willing to put in the extra time and effort to trial different strategies to find what works. You will fail in the process and this information will help you find your strategy.
When it comes to mindset, it often gets overlooked but there’s actually a lot to unpack!
WHY YOUR BODY SHAPE ISN’T CHANGING
The biggest tip I can share for supporting fat loss: Eat for muscle gain vs fat loss.
If you are seeking fat loss to change the way your body looks, you have it ALL backwards.
Gaining muscle will change your body shape MUCH more than losing fat will. Not to mention, you’ll improve your hormones and metabolism too. Talk about a triple win.
THE TOP 4 WEIGHT LOSS MISTAKES EVERYONE MAKES
I talk a lot about “What TO do” to sustain your weight loss, however some minds think better in “What NOT to do” - this is for you. Most of us make the same health and weight loss mistakes, and most of us repeat them for years before seeking a nutrition or fitness coach. You might not quite be at that stage, (reach out if you are!) so for now, let’s discuss the top 4 dieting mistakes.
TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE AND YOUR WEIGHT LOSS JOURNEY NOW
One of the principal components of holistic health coaching is mindset. It’s an area that is sometimes missed in general nutrition and fitness coaching. It includes things like thought patterns, self talk and motivation. I want to discuss the beliefs that might be standing in your way when it comes to weight loss and how to learn how to be successful in your health journey.
THE HIDDEN SYMPTOMS OF STRESS WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT
Stress isn’t always bad. In fact, we need a certain amount of stress to thrive. What is more commonly the issue with stress is the amount and type of stress balance in our day to day lifestyle. Stress, or too much of it, is a root to so many discomforts and diseases.
For women, stress tends to be at the root of things like sex hormone imbalances, pms and menstrual cycle dysregulation, digestive discomforts, slow metabolism and weight loss resistance.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW IF YOU STRUGGLE WITH CONSISTENCY
The number one factor that stalls client’s health journeys is consistency. So many women (and men!) come to us as holistic health coaches having tried countless diets and health programs only to fail and return to where they started. Our coaches focus on teaching you the how in the process so that you can build a lifestyle that supports your health and wellness goals long term. If you’re struggling with consistency, read this.
HOW TO KNOW IF YOU NEED A HEALTH COACH
Many clients continue with fad diets that don’t work for YEARS before coming to a health coach. So we want to break down how to recognize when holistic health coaching is for you.
We help busy women (and men), like you, to build better thoughts, make better decisions and choose better actions in their nutrition, health and fitness. We teach you the how and help you create strategies and tools for long term support in your wellness and weight loss journey.
HOW TO GET TONED HEALTHILY AND KEEP CONSISTENT
One of the hardest health and fitness goals can be to get toned. As a coach, women often come to me after a yo-yo weightloss journey but they still don’t have the muscle definition they want to support that toned look they desire. To achieve a toned body one will need to cycle through multiple phases of building muscle (one phase) and losing fat (a separate phase).
