🌿 Weightloss involves more than just calories in / calories out.

🌿 According to your BMI you might be consuming too few calories, which would slow your metabolism, and could also result in your body going into stress mode, where it stores the fat.

🌿 If you’re skipping meals, your body also goes into “fat storage mode”.

🌿You might not be consuming enough Protein. It's the "building blocks of Life" and an essential macronutrient which our bodies can't manufacture or store. So we HAVE TO CONSUME IT in the right increments for our BMI, several times per day, in order to naturally speed up our metabolism.

🌿 Your nutrition intake might be compromised (reducing calories could also mean further reducing your nutrition), so your body is once again under stress, and won't release the fat / weight.

🌿 You might be "drinking your calories"

🌿 Not properly hydrated (not enough water).

🌿 These just SOME of the potential reasons you’re “not winning”, but I WILL have a solution for you, if you wish to reach out.

A Bit of My Journey:

It strikes me that my profile looks a bit like "fruit salad" with random splotches of Piano / Painting, Walking and Family, and I would like to re-introduce myself.

I have a background as a classical pianist, and still currently perform "Piano & Cello Soirees". My children are the pivotal, golden thread of my life, and I became a Health Coach with Herbalife Nutrition over 18 years ago by complete default, because of this.

My older daughter had immigrated to the UK, and I was looking for a vehicle for "Global Mobility" in order to be around both my girls, with ZERO knowledge or particular interest in Health or Wellness at that stage. When I was introduced to this company, coffee, ci******es and wine were pretty high on the lifestyle agenda, and it showed!!! Big Time!!

I knew if I wanted to be successful, I had to represent the brand. I couldn't cruise around looking like the current zeppelin I was, so I simply followed the nutrition guidelines in the Business Pack, and the rest is history. The credibility of their Nutrition Advisory Board and Products are rock solid, gave me confidence, and have continued to deliver all this time. I am beyond grateful!!

Without "dieting" or any whackjob food restrictions, I took off over 10% body fat, 13 kilograms down, gained muscle, shaped up, lost my gut issues and improved my energy by adopting the healthy Nutrition & Lifestyle habits provided by the online coaching the company provides.

It has literally turned my Life around, and I feel and look better in my 70's than I did in my 50's!! My Business has also delivered on the "Global Mobility" I sought!!

Do you want to start your "Healthy Journey" but don't know where to get started? Message Me!! ..... and I will take you on a journey for 5 Days with me, to show you what I'm doing.

I invite you for a "no obligation" chat if you're just curious.

It isn’t just about fitting into your favourite jeans. There are serious health implications for carrying too much visceral fat.

If you’re in Cape Town we could arrange a reading on my Body Composition Monitor which will give us a reading of this, as well as Metabolic Age, so you know how you’re currently ageing your body.

The great news is that I have easy solutions 😊
