Why coaching can be critical for weight loss success

We all know that obesity is widespread and worsening. Worldwide, 51% (over 4 billion people) will be living with either overweight or obesity by 2035 if current trends prevail. And 1 in 4 people (nearly 2 billion) will have obesity. How to lose weight in a healthy way and keep it off is a challenging goal, especially for those who have been battling excess weight for a long time. While attention typically focuses on changing eating and exercise patterns, an often overlooked aspect of an effective weight loss strategy is coaching.

The elephant on your plate: portion control

What we eat (e.g. too many processed carbs), when we eat (e.g. too frequently) and why we eat (e.g. from anxiety instead when hungry) typically receive a lot of consideration by those who are trying to lose weight. But how much we eat? Not so much. Why is this? With the exception of eating in restaurants, the quantity of food we consume in one sitting is not typically public knowledge so it is difficult to know how much more we are eating than what we should. Also, the thought of eating substantially less than what we are accustomed to can invoke the very real fear of being constantly hungry.

A personalized approach to weight management

There are many well known do-it-yourself ways to lose weight quickly: keto, paleo, low carb, raw food, etc.. Then there are brand name approaches (I won’t name any) that tend to be more expensive since they often involve purchasing meals that are delivered to your mailbox. Still others involve buying pills, meal-replacement powders, or patches. All of these can help people lose weight, and some who follow them even manage to keep the weight off. But they don’t work for everyone.
