I once heard a PT tell someone they might be not losing weight because of their ‘age’ and maybe it’s their hormones.
This was from an ‘evidence based’ one too…
Truth is, it was said to Marta after 16 weeks of training more than I have ever seen.
Constant calories deficit
10,000 steps a day.
Result = increase in weight by 1.6kg and pre diabetic blood glucose.
Sadly this same PT didn’t properly screen Marta and that’s the first mistake.
(As you can appreciate I didn’t want to coach M, being partners in ALL areas. That’s why she got a coach)
The coach said all the right things.
Yet sadly it was just generic.
After I saw the above statement, I was more than a little pissed off to see so much hard work end up in frustration for M.
I took over for the short term.
Within 6 weeks she was fitting in clothes that she hadn’t for over a YEAR.
It’s not magic either.
It’s science, like the real stuff that isn’t just black and white Calories.
It’s lucky I didn’t sue for giving someone a pre-diabetic outcome when they came to get healthier.
Now, this might sound a bit ‘ranty’ but it’s passion to see CHANGE happen in the industry.
To stop the shit that is peddled out to people and charged for.
Putting someone’s stats into a calculator and arranging macros is NOT a tailored plan.
Surely we owe it to clients to have their best interest at heart.
Health FIRST
THEN WEIGHT LOSS.
It’s WHY we are running the Beyond Calories events in the U.K. and online.
To change the conversation.
To take the dogma away and show what it’s like to really care and get life changing results.
As honestly, weight loss is simple.
Yet most PR CLIENTS FAIL.
How many people show the weight loss after a year or 2.
Not just 6-12 weeks.
If we really are going to change the health of people in the world, we have to change.
