Most clients inquire about our coaching to lose body fat.

Yes, this is one of the main outcomes we achieve through our transformation programs.

But, something that is important to realize is that body fat is just a symptom of the problem that I solve, not the problem in and of itself.

In this post I’d like to uncover a few of the main lifestyle and habitual problems that I see with clients that lead to body fat gain… and how we go about solving it.

1 - You’re trying to do too much.

You are only human and only have a certain amount of capacity. Most of my clients are high achievers, and they try to implement so many fitness habits and goals at once, that they feel like a failure after they can't stick to it for 1 day… Which leads to giving up until you can be perfect again.  Don’t let perfection get in the way of progress.

2 - Unhelpful habits.

You are in the habit of eating certain foods, not exercising well, and linking different actions (like watching Netflix, having friends over, etc.) with food that causes you to overeat or stay inactive.

3 - Your stress level is very high, and you are overwhelmed.

This usually comes from an unsustainable lifestyle where there is too much on your plate. Always feel like you are behind, have 2–4 coffees in the day, eating in a rushed, stressed state, etc. Your nervous system is also dysregulated. Your mood, sleep, digestion, focus, etc. are all affected.

You might use that 4th coffee or afternoon sugary snack as a break or a reward for getting through your busy day.

But over time, this causes more harm than good, and adds to the nervous system dysregulation.

4 - You don’t know what’s actually important to you, and how your health approach aligns with those values. If you just want to lose body fat, you will most likely fail.

But if losing body fat aligns with your core values of showing your family an example of health and fitness, and creating the highest quality experiences with them as possible.

Then you will achieve it.

The goals that we achieve in life are the ones that are aligned to our own values.

The classic all or nothing mindset.

5 - You are bombarded with false or conflicting information and find it hard to understand what applies to your current situation.

You keep program hopping from approach to approach, never sticking with 1 thing long enough to see results, and feel like you are always starting back at square 1.

These are just a few problems my clients struggle with before they hire me.

When we have our first coaching call, we unpack as many as we can to start making progress towards the end goal we have.

At the end of the day, it’s not as simple as just saying “you need to eat in a caloric deficit”.

The reason being, the problem is not the caloric deficit, but rather, why you’re struggling to stay in it.

This is the difference between hiring a coach who focuses on the surface level symptoms vs the root cause of the problem.

One path gets results.

The other doesn’t.

Choose wisely.
