Progressive Program

This nutrition programme is for women who struggle with emotional or binge eating. If you are classified as obese on the BMI index then you need to consider this diet. Women that need to lose 30kg or even more need a different weight loss nutrition plan. It is very likely that you have an emotionally destructive dependence towards food, and that you need coaching to help you break the vicious cycle. This diet is actually Diet Plan 2, but starts a little bit differently. We first add good foods to your diet before we take anything away. You will also need to be very committed to Learning how to deal with your “stuff” and that’s not easy. It’s uncomfortable and messy. For you to get to a place where a weight loss program will succeed you need to work with the messy stuff that is sabotaging your success. I had to learn the hard way that what we put into our mind, we eat into our body, and ultimately is the way we look on the outside. The way you treat your body is a direct reflection of what worth you think you have. If you feed it rubbish then you believe you are rubbish. This nutrition programme help you work with the triggers and bad habits you have with food. Weight loss will be slower but you will learn how to adapt and change your lifestyle which is very important for your health and emotional wellbeing.

Flexible Programme

This plan involves a calorie tracker which is a tool used to monitor and track the number of calories consumed by an individual. Calorie trackers allow individuals to input the food and drinks they consume throughout the day and track the number of calories they are consuming. The Flexible Programme's calorie counter have a database of common foods and their corresponding calorie counts, which can be used to quickly and easily input the foods consumed.

Using a calorie tracker to lose weight involves several steps:

Determine your daily calorie needs: Use a calorie calculator to determine how many calories you need to consume each day to maintain your current weight based on your age, gender, height, weight, and activity level.
Set a weight loss goal: Determine how much weight you want to lose and set a realistic timeframe for achieving your goal. A safe and healthy rate of weight loss is around 1-2 pounds per week.
Use a calorie tracker to monitor your food intake: Input all the foods and drinks you consume into the calorie tracker throughout the day. Be as accurate as possible with your measurements and portion sizes.
Stay within your calorie allowance: Aim to consume fewer calories than you burn each day. Your calorie tracker will calculate your daily calorie budget based on your weight loss goals and activity level. Stick to this allowance to achieve weight loss.
Monitor your progress: Use the calorie tracker to monitor your progress over time. If you're not losing weight at the desired rate, you may need to adjust your calorie intake or increase your physical activity level.
Be consistent: Use the calorie tracker consistently to ensure you stay on track with your weight loss goals.

This programme targets weight loss through a combination of healthy eating habits, regular physical activity, and a calorie deficit. A calorie tracker can help you stay on track with your calorie intake and support your weight loss journey, the food that you chose to eat is entirely up to you.
