Making Exercise Count

Losing weight is hard. There are thousand of different diet plans and dieting tips out there, but implementing them effectively tends to be more challenging than you'd hope. If you're been struggling to lose weight, then you may want to consider hiring a holistic wellness coach to help guide you. Here are some ways a holistic health coach can help you where other plans and options have failed.

They'll examine lifestyle habits that are impeding your weight loss.

So many elements of your life affect your weight. Not getting enough sleep, for instance, can make it harder for you to lose weight. Trying to stuff too much into your day can raise your stress level, which affects weight loss. Holistic health coaches really focus on the "whole you." They'll take your lifestyle into account and help you make changes to the way you live in order to help you more effectively lose weight. If diets and exercise alone have failed you, then it might be that these bigger lifestyle changes are necessary for you to lose weight. A holistic health coach can walk you through any necessary changes, help you make them on your own timeline, and offer support as you change.

You'll have someone to talk to.

Often, weight loss journeys feel very lonely. Your friends and family members may not quite be able to relate. Perhaps you are in some sort of support group, but the other members are not necessarily experts, so you can't totally rely on any advice they give. Having a holistic health coach on your side ensures you have someone to talk to about your weight loss journey — and that can be invaluable! You'll know where to turn when you have questions, and you'll have someone there when you're struggling, which can help keep you from reaching for the cookies.

They'll devise the best diet for you.

Diets are so personal. A friend of yours may do well on a high-protein diet, for example, but you might not! Since holistic health coaches take a person-centered, whole-human approach to health, most of them do not have one preferred diet they recommend. Instead, they work with you and analyze your unique needs to create a diet plan that works for you. You'll have an easier time sticking to such a personalized plan.

If you're struggling to lose weight, hiring a holistic health coach is an option to explore. They can offer so much support and encouragement along this personalized journey.
