What was your biggest fear before signing up for nutrition coaching?
Honestly, I wasn’t scared of anything – it was more that I didn’t WANT to do what I knew I needed to do.
What made you decide to overcome those fears and do the program?
I had just completed Rise Up – Results FItness’ 6-week coaching program – where I had built better habits that were becoming second nature in my daily life and felt like it made sense to keep going and building off my momentu, progress and results.
Before nutrition coaching, what was your biggest struggle with food?
I wasn’t thinking enough about the things I need to keep top of mind like drinking enough water and eating enough protein. I may have cognitively known what I needed to do but there wasn’t any accountability. Doing this program ensured I’d be held accountable.
How did nutrition coaching help you overcome this to succeed?
In the program you use an app called EverFit to take photos of your meals, stay connected to your coach and track habits. By keep the most important, daily habits top of mind and having a system to ‘check off the boxes’ made all the difference! Plus, Coach Amie could see in real time what I was doing and eating and used the data i was entering/tracking to provide the feedback and coaching needed to keep me consistent, accountable and on track for hitting my goals.
Now that you’ve completed nutrition coaching, how if your life different and better?!
First, I definitely have made certain behaviors habits, like drinking water and taking a 30-60 minute purposeful walk each day. Second, I can see pretty quickly what happens if I regress in those habits – and I don’t like it!
In 12 weeks, I proved to myself that I can make change for myself!
How is the nutrition coaching program different from other programs you’ve tried?
For me personally, it was different to have such specific metrics to measure success by: water, sleep, food portions, daily activity, goals, action plans, etc. and a coach reminding me that change is SLOW.
That’s the key to this program – staying consistent by being honest about whether I was meeting the metrics. The program didn’t let me rely on motivation – it forced me to rely on discipline. Those two things are entirely different.
What would you say to someone who may be feeling stuck with nutrition, unsure what to do or how to make changes and get results?
I would say “Trust the system and be patient!” There are enough Result Fitness success stories out there that you just have to trust the system!
And like anything else, it doesn’t work if you don’t put in the work. Effort in equals results out.
