Diet and NutritionSustainable Habits for Sustainable Weight Loss
When it comes to sustainable weight loss, having a structured diet guide makes it easier to stay on track and develop habits that will stand in good stead for the rest of your life.
Do you envy your friends who seem to lose weight and keep it off without even trying? For you, it feels like a constant uphill battle…that you’re losing.
Some people are programmed to be lean. Others have to pay close attention to what they eat and drink, exercise every day, optimize their sleep, and manage their stress effectively.
If you are one of these people, this post is for you.
Common Weight Loss Struggles
Everyone eats every single day. Sadly, that doesn’t make all of us diet and nutrition experts. So, winging your weight loss plan sets you up to fail.
The 3 weight loss problems I see most often in my online dietitian consultations are:
- Yo-yo dieting: Do you jump from one fad diet to another? You lose weight and then go back to your old habits before trying a different one. The cycle repeats over and over with no hope of sustainable weight loss.
- No consistency: Habits, both good and bad, only develop when you do the same thing repeatedly. When you’re trying to lose weight, being consistent is key.
- Confusion about food choices: You’re not to blame for this one. You can lay your confusion at the feet of everyone with a diet opinion on social media. Some information is great; some is seriously questionable. I sometimes feel that my job is less about giving you information than editing the conflicting information you already have.
These points are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to speed bumps in your weight loss journey. There are many other reasons you might not be achieving the results you’re working so hard for.
To help you overcome these common mistakes, I’ve created a structured online 6-week weight loss program.
How Your Weight Loss Program Works
Some people thrive in chaos. I don’t know about you, but I prefer a bit of structure.
When it comes to sustainable weight loss, having a structured diet guide makes it easier to stay on track and develop habits that will stand in good stead for the rest of your life. It might seem like an exaggeration but let me tell you a secret. Building healthy habits that run on autopilot means you don’t have to worry about what you’re going to eat from one day to the next without stressing about weight gain.
So, how does it work?
There are 6 main contact points:
- First consultation: Assessment of your medical and dieting history.
- Diet plan handover: Comprehensive diet guidelines, meal framework and a 7-day menu with recipes.
- Coaching session 1: Hydration
- Coaching session 2: Meal prep
- Coaching session 3: Mindfulness
- Coaching session 4: Other lifestyle factors
Over and above these online consultations, you will have 6-weeks of WhatsApp support for motivation, tips, and accountability.
