QUESTIONS
I AM FREQUENTLY ASKED |
|
| |
Q
: |
|
|
| |
|
How
can we work together if we're not "face to face"? |
|
| A
: |
|
| |
It's
easy! All you need is a phone, computer or fax machine.Since July
2004, my phone business has gained enormous popularity. I encourage
you to give it a try!

Q

|
|
| |
|
How
can I change the way I look at weight loss? |
|
| A
: |
|
| |
I
know, from personal experience, that you have to give up on "fast
and easy" diets. They don't work and can actually make your weight
problem worse!
Why?
Diets
focus your attention on the diet. So, while you're on the diet,
you feel like you're accomplishing something, but, it's an illusion.
An
illusion? What do you mean by that?
Even
if your diet is a "success" when it ends, you're doomed to return
to your old, self-destructive eating habits. That's why dieters
nearly always find themselves regaining the weight they've lost
and more! The real issue is actually your off-diet behaviors.
In
order to achieve genuine weight loss success, you need to change
the behaviors that lead to destructive choices.
Together,
one-on-one, we will work to create a practical, realistic and
healthy program, one you can stick with for life.

| |
|
| Q
: |
|
| |
What
does "balanced nutrition" mean? |
| A
: |
|
| |
Consider
this; the opposite of balanced nutrition is a fad diet. Fad diets
are "gimmicky." Some encourage unhealthy food choices or provide
pseudo-scientific jargon designed to make you believe they offer
the "magic formula" for weight loss. Healthy weight loss can only
be achieved by eating well in a balanced way. Together, we will
design a weight loss/nutrition-based program that is balanced, realistic
and customized to your needs. |

Q
: |
|
|
|
| |
|
Do
I have to exercise? I hate exercise! |
| |
A
: |
|
| |
|
I
know, the word exercise can send shivers down your spine. But, we all need
to do it in some form.
Why?
Simple:
Food is fuel.
The
less fuel you "burn" the more likely you are to gain weight. This is why
exercise is key to successful weight loss and its maintenance.
Exercise
does not have to be something you dread.
We
will identify your likes and dislikes, and slowly build a personalized
exercise program, based on your preferences -- one you can stick with for
life. |

Q
: |
|
|
| |
So,
do I weigh myself once a week? |
| A
: |
|
| |
I
know from experience that the scale only sets us up for failure!
If
you're currently using a scale -- throw it out -- smash it with a sledgehammer
-- anything, just get rid of it!
To
chart your progress I suggest you use a measuring tape and a "before"
photograph.
These
are the smart ways to track success. |
| |
|
| Q
: |
|
| |
How
do I begin? |
| A
: |
|
| |
I
offer a free 20-minute phone consultation. During this session we
will determine your personal needs. My program is highly individualized.
If you decide to sign up for my program, I will ask you to commit
to at least four one-hour sessions. |
| |
|
| Q
: |
|
| |
After
I've completed the four one-hour sessions, then what? |
| A
: |
|
| |
After
that, you and I will determine how much more support and motivation you
need. That evaluation will dictate how many more sessions you require,
what the focus of those sessions will be, and whether they will be in one
hour or half hour blocks. I can’t tell you specifically how long we will
be working together because my program is so individualized. Length of
commitment varies from person to person. Click

|
| Q
: |
|
| |
What
does your program offer that no one else can give me? |
| A
: |
|
| |
I've
been there. I'm the former couch potato who lost 70 pounds. With me as
your cheerleader and coach, you can succeed. Like me, when you do, you’ll
look at your "before" photo and think "Was that me?" |
