Five reasons why hiring
a 
health and weight loss 
coach can change your life

The main problem that people encounter when embarking on a weight loss journey is that, simply put: it's tough. We all desire to see overnight results, but it's not often how it goes. It's challenging when you're trying to do it on your own without any real, attainable goals or guidance.

Those who are successful at losing weight often do so with the help of an expert, such as a health and weight loss coach. They are trained to help people to lose weight healthily through regular exercise and good nutrition. They offer support and guidance that's important in assisting the weight loss process of their clients.

Here are five reasons why hiring a health and weight loss consultant in Dubai can help accelerate your weight loss journey.

Anyone finding it difficult to lose weight can benefit from using a weight loss coach. Does this scenario sound familiar?

You've experimented with every single diet imaginable, from vegan and keto diets to the Atkins diet and juice cleanses. You've spent hours sweating it out, spending money on fancy spin studios, outdoor runs and YouTube workouts from self-proclaimed professionals. Despite doing all that, you're not seeing the results you want.

Disappointing? Definitely.
Frustrating? Absolutely.
Necessary? No.

Many people don't know that weight loss and body transformation is not one-size-fits-all. Everybody (and everybody) is unique, so personalisation is key to success when designing diet and exercise plans.

Hiring a health and weight loss coach removes the stress and confusion from dieting and exercising. Instead, you're working with a professional who meets with you one-on-one or supports you virtually. They will talk through your goals with you and help you plan how you will get there.

For most people, staying motivated and sticking to a strict diet and exercise plan can be the hardest part of getting in shape.

We all start with good intentions, but after a few weeks, the novelty of constantly eating only healthy foods - plus the frequent workouts - might begin to wear off. 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 overindulgence.

A health and weight loss trainer will keep you honest and ensure you stay on track. They're not there to punish you if you slip up, but they will help you to get back on track if you feel like you're losing motivation and interest.

Knowing that someone is supporting you and checking you're eating properly, are in a good mental place, 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 overeating 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 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.

As well as creating a diet plan, they will design an exercise schedule for you too. Before you start doing any exercise, a coach will take the time to work with you to find out your goals and how quickly you want to get there. They will then work out a routine that helps you to get to where you want to be.

Weight loss coaches are skilled at educating you in the logic and science behind weight loss and specifically fat loss. They want you to succeed and to adopt life-long habits that ensure your new body remains a permanent part of you. After all, it's no good to blindly follow a plan for eight weeks and then return to your old routine.

A good personal trainer or health and 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 identifying practical advice from the nonsense.

When you’re new to the gym, it can be an intimidating place. It’s hard to know what machines you should use and how long you should be spending on different exercises.

As a result, you can find yourself spending hours in the gym without really ever seeing any results. That's a surefire way to make you feel like giving up, as it's something that's not sustainable in the long term.

When you work with a weight loss coach, they will help you utilise the time you have most effectively. When they put together your plan, they will consider how much time you have spare in a week and will build you a manageable routine that fits into your life.

It might sound simple, but with the help of a body coach, weight loss is easier. They offer you an outside perspective and encourage you to help you see the progress that you might miss.

They're someone who is there to offer you moral support when you're struggling as well as celebrate your successes with you. They can provide alternatives when something feels like it's not working or you reach a plateau with your weight loss.

One of the best things about working with a health and wellness coach is that they want you to succeed in your weight loss goals. They help you stay positive, reminding you why you started your journey in the first place.

Ultimately - they help you to keep going when you feel like giving up.
