A healthier, happier body, reduction in perimenopause and menopause symptoms, more energy, better health and mental health, enhanced self confidence and self-esteem – there is sooooooo many reasons to lose weight and get healthier, particularly in midlife when our body is under more duress and great health matters more than ever before.
You know the benefits of making some healthy changes. You are an accomplished, smart and successful woman in every other area of your life – so you are completely confused as to why the hell you cannot get your sh#t together and make those permanent changes that you know would enhance every area of your life!!!!
Here are 5 smart reasons why a great weight loss coach and nutrition coach can be the missing piece of the jigsaw and enable you to sort out your health and body goals shizzle for good!
1. You get your very own expert at your disposal
In a world of some contradictory and often poor and misleading nutrition advice a quality weight loss coach and nutrition coach can help you cut through the noise and BS.
As we age our nutrition needs change dramatically. Weight loss presents us with unique challenges, which are important to understand so that we can caveat these with the relevant tweaks and nutrition and lifestyle changes.
Ever wondered any of the following?
Why is what I used to do to lose weight no longer working? (I know exactly why!)
Do I need to cut carbs to lose weight? (What a life without bread and pizza? No thanks!)
Should I be following the fasting trend?
Why am I developing belly fat after 40?
Should I be eating low fat or full fat?
Can I still go out and enjoy my love of wine and pizza whilst still losing weight and getting to my goal? (Just in case you are worried the answer is hell yes!)
Can I improve my perimenopause and menopause symptoms by making lifestyle and nutrition tweaks and changes? (Another hell yes!)
What actually is healthy eating?
A quality weight loss coach and nutrition coach specialising in helping ladies from midlife onwards can answer ALL of these and any other questions that you may have regarding nutrition, mindset and habit change so that you can go from confused to confident and savvy! IMAGINE THAT!
2. You get a bespoke and tailored approach with a weight loss coach
Weight loss is personal! You are a blinking amazing, unique one off – what dullard, for the masses, meal plan takes that into account?
A weight loss coach and nutrition coach will tailor the approach to specifically fit your lifestyle, likes and dislikes; Whether you are a party animal, a homebody, a busy business woman who is always working away, travelling and eating in hotels, or a busy working mum who does not want to cook several different meals each evening.
When you lose weight and change your lifestyle you still need to be you! If you are not eating the foods that you love and making changes you enjoy then it simply will not stick. If you cannot see the changes that you are making to lose weight being lifetime changes then you are wasting your time.
I personally coach my clients to build an incredible bank of nutrition knowledge on how to nourish themselves and lose weight in midlife, how to structure meals, the quick and easy wins for busy woman, how to eat with family members and how to socialise and incorporate junk (because who wants a world without pizza, wine and chocolate!). This coupled with relevant lifestyle tweaks is the recipe for weight loss success and health gain.
A good weight loss coach and nutrition coach for midlife, perimenopause and menopause, will educate you and empower you to make the approach fit around you instead of you moulding yourself around the approach.
3. Accountability is Queen!
You tried going it alone and it simply does not work! A weight loss coach will provide you with the daily accountability needed to smash your goals, ditch excuses, identify mindset blocks and overcome them and transform your life!
It is relatively easy to start a weight loss program it, is the consistency that people find challenging. Without accountability people often find that they are quickly back to those habits that prevent them leading a happier and healthier life. This tendency can throw you into the endless yo-yo dieting cycle.
What you need is for someone to hold you accountable! When you want to throw in the towel you need someone to throw it straight back at you. For my clients I am their Nutrition Expert, Weight Loss Coach and Mindset Coach but also their personal cheerleader, motivator, straight talker, friend and passionate advocate. Accountability is priceless in your success.
4. A Weight Loss Coach will dig deep!
A Weight Loss Coach will not just look at what you eat and educate you on nutrition but even more importantly they will look at why you are overeating!
If the only thing you are changing is the food that you eat then that is all that changes. A temporary and surface change breeds temporary and surface results.
Traditional diets just look at food however for most, weight gain is at heart an emotional issue, fix the issue and the symptoms disappear.
Things that a qualified Weight Loss Coach should be able to cover is:
- Transforming your relationship with food with brain retraining techniques
- Banishing the habit of emotional and stress eating
- Implementing a permanent habit change framework so that willpower is no longer necessary
- Teaching you how to have a healthy relationship with your weight, body and the scales
- Helping clients develop a healthy self-esteem and self-worth so that food no longer needs to be used as a crutch and treating yourself with the respect you deserve becomes a non-negotiable and a no brainer
- Teaching you how to develop a rock-solid self-belief which is an essential component of weight loss success
Working on the blocks, beliefs, feelings and habits that have held you back in the past is one of the many roles of a Weight Loss Coach to ensure you are moving away from a band aid solution to a permanent one.
5. A weight loss coach and nutrition coach can stop you making mistakes
When you are losing weight and getting healthy in midlife the landscape has changed dramatically. We have a hormonal sh~tstorm taking place, our metabolism has altered, our nutritional needs have altered and there are simply mistakes that you need to avoid that a qualified weight loss coach and nutrition coach can help with.
