Sign 1: You have no idea of where to start:

Many people want to lose weight, keep their bodies fit, and achieve a perfect shape, but they’re unsure of how to start and often give up. 

Each individual’s body is different and responds differently to food or medication. 

Losing Weight is not the same for everyone. There’s no one-size-fits-all rule. You need to understand your body type and make decisions accordingly to achieve your desired weight. 

This is where a coach comes in. They have experience dealing with many people, and they can provide the necessary guidance and help you achieve your Dropping Weight. This is the first reason why you need a weight loss Coach.

Sign 2: You have a Hard Time Following Through With Your Weight Loss Goals:

Let me share a personal example.  I was 75 kg and 5’7” tall. Everyone started shaming me, and I felt very depressed. I decided to lose weight and be in shape and began with a lot of motivation. I exercised on the first day with enthusiasm and avoided junk food for a week. But then, I lost motivation and gave up.  After a few days, I thought, “I should lose weight,” and my Day 1 started again.  I did it for a week, lost motivation, and went straight to Biryani Point for a nice meal.  Sounds familiar?  I started again, and you know what happened next… I gave up!  I was stuck in this loop for a year, and nothing changed. I was still 75 kg.  Then, I decided to hire a Certified Health Mentor. 

The health coach was very strict. He gave me a diet and exercise plan for a month. I started, and everything went well for a week, as usual.  Then, I lost motivation again and felt like I wasn’t living my best life because I couldn’t eat the foods I loved.  But my coach took note of everything. Every single day, he asked for updates, pictures of my meals, and my exercise routine.  On the 8th day, I lost motivation again, but this time, I had to report to my coach.  Because he was strict, gave me punishments, and I had paid him, I had to stick to it.  I continued with him for a 37-day challenge, and guess what? I lost 8 kg!  I felt energetic, stable, and strong. I felt light and was thrilled with the transformation.  I was amazed at what I could achieve with the right Fitness Coaching. So, to stay accountable and on track, you need a coach for health.

Sign 3: You have accountability issues. 

After 37 days of following my trainer’s routine, I was happy with the results. But what next? Should I continue with my trainer or give up? 

I decided to continue for the next 90 days.

I followed everything my Wellness Coach asked me to do.

After 90 days, I lost 7 more kg, achieving my dream body.

I felt light, healthy, and happy. My brain worked clearly, and I felt strong. 

My wellness coach made me accountable for everything and made me follow the plan.

This is the difference a health Coach can make. Let’s move to the next point.

Sign 4: You need help with challenges you may face:

You might have faced many challenges in life and had an expert help you through them. Similarly, in your weight loss transformation, you may face challenges. 

Everyone’s body is different. What works for me might not work for you. You need a dedicated Wellness Practitioner who can study your body type, understand its needs, and guide you through your journey. When challenges arise, a health Coach makes your journey easier.

Sign 5: You have a tough time tracking your progress: 

If you’re trying everything on your own, you need knowledge, understanding of your body type, and the ability to track and adjust accordingly. On top of this, you have your job or household responsibilities. It’s difficult to manage everything. 

As the saying goes, “What you can’t measure is what you can’t improve.” If you’re not maintaining proper logs or monitoring your progress, You’re bound to fail. 

A Health Coach helps you monitor everything and fixes issues when they arise, making your journey easier and helping you achieve your goals.

Sign 6: You have no idea of safety precautions

You might have seen news about youngsters losing their lives in the gym. Why? 

They were unsure of what to do, how much weight to lift, or when to do certain exercises. 

Doing anything beyond your body’s limits, or workouts that don’t support your body type, may lead to several issues.

A coach can help you understand the basics, what needs to be done, and what you should avoid to be safe while maintaining your health goals.

Sign 7: You have little to no knowledge

When I hired a Coach, I was a complete beginner with no knowledge of calories, food types, or exercises. My coach taught me about carbohydrates, proteins, and different exercises. 

This knowledge helped me further in my journey. I felt like I could be the next Coach & at a point, I thought I might apply for health coach jobs. Just Kidding.

I was confident and empowered with the knowledge my trainer gave me.

Sign 8: Difficulty In setting up realistic goals
