Online weight loss coaching is a service offering people with weight or fat loss goals full support and instruction on the process of weight loss. That might sound a little cold and detected, and the reality is a close relationship between the coach (me) and the client (you).
Regardless of how much knowledge and experience you have or donât have with dieting and weight loss, Iâll tell you exactly how weight loss works, but more importantly exactly what you need to do to get the result you want.
There are tons of benefits to having a weight loss coach in your corner as opposed to âgoing it on your ownâ, one of the key one being accountability. One of the biggest things people struggle with when it comes to weight loss is staying consistent, if you have no one to answer to but yourself, youâre unlikely to stay on track long term. The fact that youâre paying for a coach will also add that element of urgency – after all, if youâre not paying then whatâs the rush right?
You might also be considering a face-to-face personal trainer in the gym, while personal trainers will be able to help with your exercise plan and shout at you for an hour while you jump around, just getting sweaty and out of breath in the gym might get you fitter, but it doesnât guarantee weight loss. You need to be eating fewer calories than you use each day, so you need a much bigger focus on your diet – you wonât get that with an offline PT.
All that being said, letâs take a closer look at the main benefits of online weight loss coaching
THE BODY YOUâVE ALWAYS WANTED
Letâs be honest, thatâs why most of us are doing this right?
We just want to look better naked.
Of course, there are other benefits to looking better, like more confidence, better fitting clothes, better sports performance and less getting out of breath walking up the stairs.
I know this is your main goal and this is what weâll work towards.
SUPPORT
If you go it alone, youâll have no support. If you use an in-gym PT, youâll have support for an hour or two a week (if you do 1-2 sessions), if you use an online weight loss coach, youâll have round-the-clock support whenever you need it.
Weight loss isnât just about knowing you need to âeat less and move more, itâs about knowing what to do at specific moments. For example, what if youâre out at a restaurant and you donât know which the healthiest choice is – a weight loss coach can help with that, a personal trainer canât!
Weight loss is a result of all the small decisions you take and the habits you create day-in day out, which is why you need continuous support.
ACCOUNTABILITY
As mentioned, if you have no one to answer to, then are you really going to stay on-track consistently?
You might be able to for a few weeks, but significant weight loss takes a lot longer than a few weeks. You need someone to check-in on you and keep you on track.
The fact is most people simply canât trust themselves or donât have the willpower to do something difficult long term. A weight loss coach will be on your back if youâre off-track, and your biggest cheerleader when you do things right.
AFFORDABILITY
This is a big one.
Many people see gym-based personal training as affordable and will happily pay upwards of ÂŁ40 per session for a PT.
If youâre trying to learn exercise techniques (squatting, benching, deadlift etc) then a good PT is essential. Similarly, if youâre brand new to the gym and need someone to show you to use the equipment then a PT is a must.
However, if youâre just trying to drop a bit of weight like most people are, then you definitely donât need to pay a PT ÂŁ40 per hour while you jump around burning calories. Think about it, if you did two sessions a week that works out at ÂŁ320 per month. Just to burn some calories. Youâll likely eat back those exercise calories anyway, which means money is down the drain.
Working with an online weight loss coach like me will make you pay attention to your nutrition which is what will really make the difference, and it only costs ÂŁ99, less than a third of the cost of two PT sessions a week.
EDUCATION AND INFORMATION
Iâll tell you what to do, but Iâll also tell you why youâre doing it.
You might not care, but knowing how weight loss works will enable you to achieve sustainable weight loss that lasts forever, not just the time that youâre working with me.
Weight loss is an incredibly simple process, but itâs not easy – and thatâs where I come in. Once you work with me and you know the process works, youâll also know HOW it works, and youâll be able to use the tactics I teach you forever.
A BETTER RELATIONSHIP WITH FOOD
Youâve probably tried cutting out whole food groups before. Carbs? Fat? I bet youâve tried it.
I bet youâve even completely cut out foods you love like Pizza, or wine, or chocolate.
You donât need to do that. No food is âbadâ or âunhealthyâ, and you can actually eat whatever you want provided youâre in a calorie deficit.
Of course, there are foods that will make the process of dieting easier, but you certainly donât NEED to eat anything specific (donât worry Kale isnât on the plan), and you donât NEED to cut anything out (yes you can still eat Pizza).
ACCESSIBILITY
If you work with a gym-based PT, youâll only speak to them when youâre paying them.
With my 1:1 and group plans, youâll be able to reach out to me whenever you have a question or need support. Whether itâs via email, WhatsApp, voice note, or your monthly Zoom call (on the 1:1 plan).
Need to know how to eat protein at breakfast? Ask me.
Want to know what the best thing to order at your local Mexican restaurant? Just ask.
HABITS FOR A LIFETIME
The key thing that will allow you to lose weight consistently and keep it off is forming habits. Habits like weighing yourself first thing in the morning on a daily basis.
Habits take a long time to form but once they become ingrained theyâll become second nature, and youâll do them on autopilot
Once youâve done working with me and galvanizing these habits, youâll have them as part of your arsenal forever, meaning that once you stop working with me, youâll be able to manage your weight much more easily.
COMMUNITY
If you join my group coaching, youâll join my exclusive Facebook group where youâll be able to ask me questions but also interact with other members of the group.
SUMMARY
Although the majority of people that want online weight loss coaching have one thing in mind; weight loss (go figure!), the benefits go way beyond this.
Most people donât actually want weight loss (does anyone actually care what the scale says?!), they want more confidence, to be anle to look good in clothes, to have nice photos on their Instagram and to feel accepted. Working with a coach will give you all these things, you just need to be able to trust the process and execute consistently.
If you think youâve got what it takes, why not get in touch with me and weâll talk about which plan is right for you!
