I have a 38 year old female client who has trained with me now for 2 months. Most of her life she has been a serial dieter. Tried everything, been on and off a diet 90% of the time and is basically always trying to lose weight. The years of dieting have messed up her hormonal system ( if you know me youll know Im big into hormones ), anyway, I gave her a plan to follow, flexible, but I told her it may take a while to rebuild her endocrine system back to normal operating levels but that once it was, we would be flying. So for her first 4 weeks she ate the right foods but the weight did NOT move, but she believed me and kept coming and stuck to her nutrition plan. Every week no movement but she had faith and belief and understood what I explained to her was happening then week 5, BAM, everything kicks in and she is off, 3 or 4lb a week consistently through July, every week. Everything has suddenly sorted itself out and is working again properly. A stone lost in a month, but it took a month to get everything back in gear. In her own words, she has NEVER eaten so much food in her life ( even when she was NOT dieting ) and she has dropped a stone in a month. The reason why I am writing this......because anyone out there who is currently dieting and has weeks where things dont move on the scales, take a step back, evaluate the type and quality of the food you are eating and try to nourish the body with what it needs to work properly, avoid the heavily processed artificial foods and give it some real vitamins and minerals, stuff it can operate on. Stuff it needs to function with. The body can regulate and look after itself but you need to help it. Fake meal replacement bars and drinks just dont cut it, yes you may lose weight initially but its NEVER EVER permanent. Simply because the body has not been taught how to control its own hunger and fullness levels. The weight always returns. MOST IMPORTANTLY I am writing this because words cannot express how proud I am that this woman had faith in me and kept coming, when the scales week after week did not move..... Im going to take this girl all the way, she WILL be a size 10, and no one will be happier than me when she gets there.
