I have clients who are sure they've tried everything. On the surface, they do everything right.
But in reality, they made mistakes.
Let me give a few examples to make it clear. Names have been changed.
1️⃣ Galya thought she just needed to remove potatoes, pasta, and all that fattening stuff. She removed them, but the weight didn't go away, and she had no energy.
In reality, her diet was low in protein, high in fat, and she added honey to her tea. Because of such small details, there was no calorie deficit.
We added protein, potatoes, and pasta. We reduced fats through sauces and removed honey from tea. So her portions even got bigger.
She wrote: "I followed your recommendations today. I felt more full and pleasant than usual." A month later, she was already down two kilograms. And we hadn't even started fine-tuning the calories yet.
2️⃣ Ira was sure her problem was that she loved sweets too much: once it got into her mouth, she couldn't stop.
She thought she just needed to "unlove" them or somehow learn to restrain herself.
But trying to unlove something you've adored since childhood is like trying to grind minced meat back: a lot of hassle, zero result.
Ira's issue turned out to be that she didn't have a planned lunch. When hunger struck, she often had croissants on hand.
Of course, when you're starving, you'll eat them until your belly bursts. Even if you don't particularly like sweets.
We implemented lunch planning, and she started eating fewer sweets. Her weight also began to drop. No need to unlove sweets)
3️⃣ Katya knew a lot about nutrition. She tried to eat only healthy food.
And when we looked for reasons why her weight wasn't decreasing, we found them in unexpected places. Katya was looking where she was used to: in flour, sweets, and potatoes.
But in reality, this came to light:
- in the evening, while watching a series, a glass of sunflower seeds - 500 kcal
- in the morning, after breakfast, a smoothie - 350 kcal
Total: half of the daily allowance just from such unnoticeable things.
4️⃣ Dasha's problem was that she ate when tired or emotional. And she thought she needed to fight these sudden impulses.
But that's tilting at windmills. That's how our psyche works - impulses were, are, and will be. And efforts should be directed not at suppressing them, but at learning to cope with them.
In other words, you need to work not on controlling your impulses, but on making sure they don't control you.
🔜And that's just 4 examples I've broken down!
There are hundreds of pitfalls, and you can't fit a square peg into a round hole tell everyone "stop eating sweets at night" as a universal solution. That's why even in a group, I essentially work with clients individually.
Each person has their own set of factors, and you need to deeply dive into each person's situation to make their weight loss effective.
That's why I keep the group to no more than five people: to have the ability to devote strength and attention to each participant.
I created the group format to build an environment that pushes for change. When you see others doing something, it becomes easier for you to do it yourself.
☑️I am now opening enrollment for a new group.
To better understand the client's situation, I have a preliminary call.
During the call, we analyze why weight loss isn't working. Often, it's not about the "cookie at night," but about high workload and stress levels.
I give recommendations on what needs to be done to get the process moving.
If I see that the group is suitable, I offer it. I don't impose or push anything) This call is not binding. But you'll leave with a bunch of recommendations and also understand if working with me is right for you.
To sign up for a call, fill out the questionnaire. It has 5 questions and takes 3 minutes. Here's the link: t.me/kuzogroup_bot?start=anketa
