Women’s Health Coach

It’s not my thing to talk about ‘cheating’. In my view, what you do most of the time counts; what you do some of the time doesn’t. Say you eat pizza twice in one week or over-indulge at a party – you can just revert to your most-time foods for the rest of the week. This programme isn’t about feeling guilty about your choices – it all evens out in the end.

This depends on many things, but a better question is: ‘How long have I been treating my “self” and my body poorly?’ Most people who come to see me have had the same habits for decades, not months, so achieving their goals can take time. It’ll happen – with patience.

My clients tend to see and feel things start to change within 7-10 days. Typically, they find that their belly shrinks, they’re less bloated, and their energy improves significantly. The greater your margins for change the faster you’re likely to see it.

The answer is a definitive no! Your relationship with gravity is separate to body composition. I weigh 60kg (considered ‘overweight’ for my height of 5ft 5ins), but my body composition is geared to lean muscle mass. Instead of weight, we focus on how your clothes feel because it’s a good indicator of diminishing fat mass.

No, but you’ll certainly get toned. It’s impossible to get ‘oversized’ muscles from my classes because we work mostly with bodyweight, building functional strength for everyday activities. To bulk up, you’d need to overload the muscles by adding a lot of external weight.
