My 5 Step Process
1. Fuelling Your Body
Most women who fall off the wagon during their weight loss journey do so because they don’t fuel their body right, thinking that having surgery is more about restricting what they eat rather than understanding how to nourish their bodies. In this foundational stage, you’ll learn the fundamentals of proper nutrition, portion control, and balanced meals without having to count calories or weigh your food.
2. Optimising your WLS Tool
Learn how to maximise the results of your bariatric surgery by diving into the specifics of how your body works and discover the eating habits that align with your surgery’s capabilities. you’ll be better equipped to make mindful decisions about your weight loss journey.
3. Fixing Your Relationship With Food
The most principle step to long-term weight loss is developing a healthy relationship with food. This doesn't mean restrictive diets, calorie counting, or food shaming. Instead, healing your relationship with food means you get to enjoy a wide variety of foods without feeling guilty or deprived while listening to your body's hunger cues and honouring your fullness signals.
4. Designing A New Lifestyle
Throughout your enrolment, you'll learn new, more conscious habits that will practically change your life. I’ll guide you to curate routines that suit your unique personality, preferences, and goals. You'll unlock a newfound freedom, vitality, and robustness that nurtures your physical, mental, and emotional well-being, helping you live a life you absolutely love.
5. Creating the Right Mindset
Your mindset is everything when it comes to losing weight and keeping it off. The goal of this membership will be to help you nurture a mindset that is unbreakable, resilient, and focused on progress, not perfection. You'll learn to celebrate your big/small milestones, embrace the highs and lows of your journey, and believe in your ability to move past temporary setbacks without resorting to unhealthy coping mechanisms.
