Fat Loss & Weight Management
(Female - 42 years)
Service
12-week (silver package) lifestyle, development and support process plus initial physiological testing.
Client Introduction
Middle-aged (42) female who has had recent weight gain, has “dieted” many times with strict, rigid nutrition plans, and had a previous history of excessive exercise for fat loss (2 hours running a day), which led to injuries. Moreover, the client wanted a long-term sustainable lifestyle change to maintain results. The individual had a demanding lifestyle, including a demanding job, multiple young children and an environment that did not align with easy fat loss goals. Binge eating was a concern during previous fat loss programmes.
Time efficiency was an essential factor, and to minimise food waste as nutritionists have previously provided family recipes that caused a lot of waste. Like most clients living with their children and partners, it was essential to efficiently integrate nutrition strategies into family time to support overall health, weight management/fat loss and performance.
Client Goals
To halt weight and body fat gain and achieve long-term sustainable fat loss to reach an ideal healthy body weight and body fat level. To be self-sufficient and know why, what, when and how to eat to perform my best. To efficiently integrate nutrition strategies into daily and family life.
Challenges
Demanding schedule with little time, some resistance to change (dependent on strict, rigid plans), environment and network that may not align with goals. A habit of bingeing when “dieting” and using excessive exercise.

Process
Support process.
Support consisted of 12 weeks (silver) support, including weekly check-ins for review, and knowledge, strategy and habit development in required areas. 1-2-1 daily support was available when needed through a private personal app for feedback, accountability, support, answering questions and monitoring progress.
Relevant educational topics were covered weekly with “as and when needed” support to provide feedback and input. Bespoke flexible reference plans mirroring the client's weekly schedule were provided and could use any method of application that best aligns with preferences (portions, calories or macronutrients) throughout the days and week.
Nutrition was integrated step by step to minimise variables and make achievable and impactful changes to habits for long-term self-sufficiency. Injury nutrition strategies were also integrated alongside weight management goals to support tissue specific recovery and injury prevention.
Exercise was reduced from two hours of jogging daily, to daily dog walking and 2-3 short resistance-based exercise sessions a week to complement health, strength, fitness, injury rehabilitation/prevention, weight loss and retention of lean mass. Exercise sessions could be completed with home equipment or equipment at the gym three times a week.
Environment was reviewed and strategies were in place to incorporate meals into family time and to have options that take minutes and align to goals for time-limited days.
Examples of topics covered for general health and performance that were integrated into daily life to build self-sufficiency and long-term habitual change:
