Virtual Coaching Supports Healthier Lifestyles

If you are considering a remote weight loss program, ask about the plan’s weight reduction strategies, personalized menus, remote coaching, distance education, and ongoing support mechanisms. Plus, what happens once you have reached your weight loss goal. When searching online for a remote weight loss program that will work for you, you should consider numerous factors, such as the variety of foods allowed, the quality of remote coaching, and the support for long-lasting lifestyle changes. People have different states of health and lifestyles that require a personalized approach to losing weight and keeping it off. This doesn’t change just because you are losing weight remotely, so pick a program with individualized remote coaching and support. Do not try to lose weight too quickly. Pick a remote weight loss program that does not eliminate entire food groups. Nutrient deficiencies can cause rapid weight loss but may lead to weight regain as well as a host of unwanted health problems.

The pandemic has created a historically significant situation that is linked to stress eating and unwanted weight gain. Below are several weight-loss strategies to help you end emotional eating, such as:

• COMMITMENT TO SUCCESS - If you find that you are not ready to embark on a weight loss journey right now, that is okay. Take this time to identify the obstacles that are holding you back and seek remote support from a virtual coach.
• NUTRITIONAL PLANNING - Proper nutritional planning and customized menus that you prepare at home can lead to eating a healthy diet , which is one of the primary predictors for reductions in chronic illnesses, like diabetes and obesity.
• SUPPORT & ENCOURAGEMENT - Research from the American Heart Association indicated many people do not make healthy choices and remote support and encouragement can promote shared accountability when permanent weight loss is needed.
• CELEBRATE SUCCESS - Adjust your mindset, so you can get started on the path to a healthier weight and picture yourself celebrating every achievement along the way, whether it is hitting a weekly target weight or adding a new food to your personalized menu plan.

If you’ve gained weight while sheltering at home, now is the time to do something about it. Nonetheless, you will need a plan that supports your body’s unique dietary needs, offers remote coaching, and is sustainable for the long-term.
