You're ready to shed those pounds and get your body in tip-top shape. However, you probably already know that losing weight and maintaining it are two separate things. Usually, losing weight successfully requires overcoming countless physical and mental hurdles.
The good news is you don’t have to go through it alone. With a weight loss coach in your corner, you can cut through the diet and exercise clutter and work out a plan that works for you.
A weight loss coach is a professional who provides guidance, support, and motivation to help individuals achieve their weight loss goals. They are trained in nutrition, exercise, behavior change, and other relevant areas, and use this knowledge to develop customized weight loss plans for their clients.
Board-certified internal medicine physician Shri O. Noel, MD is our resident weight loss coach at Step by Step Wellness & Weight Loss. Here, we’re all about providing our clients with the guidance they need regarding their wellness and lifestyle behaviors so they can better achieve their personal wellness and lifestyle goals. We work one-on-one with clients, lead group sessions, and offer online support and resources.
We can also help you set realistic goals, track your progress, overcome obstacles, and make lasting lifestyle changes to support your weight loss journey. Ours is a comprehensive approach that takes into account not just your fitness and workout routines, but also what you eat and when.
In addition to offering guidance on diet and exercise, weight loss coaches may also provide emotional support, help clients identify and overcome psychological barriers to weight loss, and provide accountability and encouragement along the way.
Realistic weight loss goals are the kind of goals that you are prepared to stick with all the way. You know your body best. You know your schedule best and how much time you can afford to dedicate to getting in shape. Set practical goals based on these parameters.
Remember, weight loss is a journey, not a destination, so you’ll need to be patient and consistent. Depending on how much weight you’re looking to shed and how much work you’re willing to put in, it can take a couple of weeks or even months to see clear differences in your physique.
Writing down everything you eat can help you keep track of your calorie intake and identify areas where you can make healthier choices.
Fruits and vegetables are low in calories and high in fiber, making them an excellent choice for weight loss.
Prioritize nutrient-dense, low-calorie foods such as whole grains, lean protein, and healthy fats. Avoid processed foods, sugary drinks, and high-calorie snacks.
What worked for someone else will not necessarily work for you. Dietary and fitness trends don't always work for everyone. If you feel like you’re not getting the most from your plan, feel free to review it anytime. At the end of the day, the goal is to get proper nutrition and stay active. The schedule by which you hit that goal is up to you.
Surround yourself with people who support your weight loss goals, whether it's friends, family, or a support group. Having a network of people who understand and encourage you can make a big difference in your weight loss journey.
We are your reliable partner to help you attain your wellness and weight loss goals. Call 703-230-0100 now or fill out our contact form to schedule a quick consultation about how you can improve your lifestyle this 2023.
