I started to put weight on when I was studying for my Stott Pilates course – I couldn’t understand why?
I did detoxes, 9 day cleanses and juice diets. I ate very healthy, had all the diet books, recipe books etc. and exercised. So where was I going wrong? As an exercise instructor I was keen to find out so that I could learn and educate my clients.
I contacted a fitness figure competitor and it was then that I realised where I was going wrong.
I leant that it’s not just about eating healthy. If you want to lose body fat it’s actually about eating more of the right foods and more often.
I then decided to obtain a qualification in fat loss and specialise in the metabolic system and how it effects that. It’s not about calories in and calories out – it’s so much more than that. The metabolic effect diet helps you control hunger, energy and cravings and helps balance your hormones too!
Get rid of your “sugar belly”
Most of the mums that come to me moan about their mummy bulge around their tummy, and whilst some of this is down to Diastasis Recti (separated tummy muscles) and appears worse due to poor posture, it’s also down to what I call “sugar belly”.
All of the mums say they eat healthy – however after seeing a week’s food diary from them it is clear to me where changes in their diet could get them optimal results. I strongly believe you need to combine exercise with a good diet and one that fuels your body and gives you the energy you require. It’s also about reducing the foods that cause tummy bloat and this is where you become your very own food detective.
The Supercharged Club
I have helped many mums achieve their goals – see their stories here. However I don’t have the qualifications to help you with issues such as emotional eating. That’s where my business partner Mary Meadows, Badass Healthy Life Coach comes in to help. Together, we designed The Supercharged Club. With Mary’s goal setting and little tasks to help with cravings, triggers and general feeling of self-doubt and my exercise, fitness and nutrition programmes, we have created the perfect weight loss and body confidence programme.
This runs as a 6 week Facebook closed group where you start changing your eating habits forever. The best way is small baby steps, so we start by changing a habit and a food group weekly. Mary uses her mindful eating coaching and I am on hand to answer questions regarding food. This 6-week course will change the way you look at food forever and will start you on your fat loss journey.
Mums have reported in losing dress sizes, being less bloated, controlling irritable bowel syndrome…. but most of all they feel good again AND energised. Mums also make new virtual friends all going through a similar journey.
