For some of us, staying motivated and sticking to a strict plan can be the hardest part of getting in shape. We all start out with good intentions but, after a few weeks, the novelty of constantly eating whole and nutritious foods, plus the frequent workouts, might start to wear off and it becomes all too easy to slip into old habits. Before you know it, one missed gym session turns into three, and one ‘cheat’ day becomes a week of junk food and overindulgences.
But a weight loss coach will keep you honest and make sure you stay on track. Knowing that there’s someone supporting you and checking to make sure you’re eating properly, moving your body and drinking enough water can be all the encouragement you need to succeed.
As mentioned above, every person has different needs and requirements.
We all know that over eating can hinder weight loss, but did you know that under eating can hold you back too? Depriving yourself of the nutrients you need can leave you low on energy and more likely to abandon your plan, binge eat and give in to the foods that you know you should avoid.
A weight loss coach will tell you how many calories you should be eating including the exact amount of protein, carbs, and fat along with tasty, satisfying meals that will help you excel in your fitness and weight loss efforts.
Weight loss coaches are skilled at educating you in the logic and science behind weight loss and specifically fat loss. They want you to adopt life-long habits that ensure your new body remains a permanent part of you. After all, it’s no good just blindly following a plan for eight weeks then going back to your old routine.
A good personal trainer or weight loss coach uses tried and tested methods and always stays up to date with current research. This saves you the trouble of trawling the internet and trying to identify the practical advice from the nonsense.
