Reaching Your Goals- The Process

 The programmed content for each stage, working from 'zero to hero,' typically spans 4 to 6 weeks. It's a realistic diet with sensible, manageable changes. Rapid changes or unrealistic rules often lead to short-lived success before reverting to old habits and results. I recognize individual starting points and progress varies so can tailor the approach accordingly. 

No there’s no meal plan, list of foods to eliminate, schedule for eating, or recipes to follow. The aim is to add to what you find works for you in terms of your food preferences and style of eating.

They can be , I work from a number of clinics on different days. If the times available there don’t suit we can hold the consultation via Zoom.  

It shouldn’t be as you essentially are adding to what you already do.  People have successfully improved their diet quality by incorporating restaurant and grab-and-go options. 

 During the consultation, we discuss your goals and explore your past experiences, identifying what has and hasn't worked for you. From there, we create a realistic formula for change. 

For the weekly food diary review, rather than a conversational interaction you instead submit your meals and experiences, and I provide suggestions in a video link for the next week based on the goals we have agreed on.. 

Knowledge is power and community is strength. 

interactive groups with others at similar stages for collaborative learning are available. You can also organize family, friends, or work colleagues into a group to progress through the stages together.

It also lists the micronutrients from the food you’ve eaten which enables greater precision for Macronutrient adjustment where needed.

 While 'knowledge is key,' mainstream nutrition complicates things excessively. I simplify the process by addressing common questions about diet approaches amid various rules and fads. Through a mix of written, live, and recorded materials, you gain confidence in understanding what works for you and why. Lasting change often stems from understanding the 'why.' The 800gChallenge and LazyMacros Ebooks break down diet myths in bite-sized chunks, serving as a helpful reference as you progress through the program's steps to enhance your diet quality and protein percentages. 

 Once you've chosen your preferred communication mode, feel free to message me with any questions about working through your planned outline. I strive to respond within 24 hours during my working hours. 

 We request a 3-month commitment for substantial and realistic results, as meaningful changes take time. This approach focuses on long-term results, not quick fixes. After the first month, you can adjust the format of the coaching session to meet your needs—either reducing or increasing direct support as desired. Payment plans are available.

' What gets measured gets managed.' Each stage includes a measurable standard for accountability. You'll track specific aspects over the 3 stages, with methods tailored to your preference. Honesty is key; there's no judgment. Clear measurements at the start enhance the accuracy of our change planning.
