No matter the efforts we make to be successful on our health and weight loss journeys, there will likely always be obstacles and speed bumps we hit along the way that are out of our control. I aim to teach my clients, and want to teach you how you can hold steady amidst the chaos, busy and out of control feeling moments, so in this blog, I’ll highlight three of the most common mistakes I find people make (including me!) and show you how to navigate them to help you stay consistent even when you can find every reason… not to.

Whether you are changing body composition, losing weight, decreasing body fat, increasing muscle or desiring to look more ‘toned’… you are not going to achieve a sustainable result by using restriction, a quick/fix or any extreme method.

Most fail in their weight loss results because they fail in their strategy. You must be willing to put in the extra time and effort to trial different strategies to find what works. You will fail in the process and this information will help you find your strategy.

When it comes to mindset, it often gets overlooked but there’s actually a lot to unpack!

One of the principal components of holistic health coaching is mindset. It’s an area that is sometimes missed in general nutrition and fitness coaching. It includes things like thought patterns, self talk and motivation. I want to discuss the beliefs that might be standing in your way when it comes to weight loss and how to learn how to be successful in your health journey.

The number one factor that stalls client’s health journeys is consistency. So many women (and men!) come to us as holistic health coaches having tried countless diets and health programs only to fail and return to where they started. Our coaches focus on teaching you the how in the process so that you can build a lifestyle that supports your health and wellness goals long term. If you’re struggling with consistency, read this.

I know you just want to be there already.

An issue we all face on our weight loss journeys is impatience. It screws with our consistency and our motivation, ultimately elongating actually getting to the end goal. It’s one of the key foundations we work on as holistic health coaches; consistency with diet, fitness, healthy habits and solution oriented thought patterns. It’s tempting to skip steps and choose the fast track, yet it shouldn’t go without question, after all there’s a reason those who choose to do juice cleanses, restrict foods, and two a day workouts are recurring clients of other diet plans too.
