International Meaningful Change One-to-One Weight Loss Coaching Programme presented at The Diet & Fitness Show, Olympia, London

Noble Manhattan’s remarkable Meaningful Change Weightloss Programme, received amazing response when it was presented at The Diet & Fitness Show at Olympia, London last weekend by the founder coaches.

The Programme has inspired many to approach their weight issues in a more effective way, by dealing with negative core habits and beliefs surrounding food.  By dealing with the source of the problem, rather than the symptoms, many are able to make positive choices and empowering changes to achieve lasting weight loss. 

The Meaningful Change Weightloss Programme is a proactive 12 step, 6 month programme based on proven NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) techniques working on the principle “I am in charge of my mind and therefore my results”.  By building on the principle that lasting and meaningful change comes from within, sustained weight loss can be achieved without dieting. There are no public meetings or humiliating ‘weigh-ins’.  The confidential coaching sessions in this programme allows you to work on your weight issues in complete privacy - giving you the choice of who you tell.

Throughout the programme clients benefit from:

1. One-to-one confidential telephone coaching sessions with your personal highly-qualified Meaningful Change coach, scheduled at a time to suit you.

2. Short assignments to complete between sessions building on the skills and techniques you have learnt to increase the pace of change.

3. The opportunity to work on up to four other life goals simultaneously through the programme, each supported by your coach.

4. A recognised structure incorporating empowering NLP techniques which equip you with permanent life skills for achieving goals.

5. Dedicated IT package to support the programme, incorporating on-going weight and health achievement records, support through buddy networks, option of continued resources and additional coaching after the 6 months at exceptional value.

Why is coaching so successful in achieving lasting weight loss?

Setting and working to achieve a weight loss goal is a very personal decision.  Not only do individuals have to deal with the physical practicalities of changing eating and lifestyle habits, they also have to overcome their strong internal gremlin that is all too happy to hinder their progress at every opportunity.  This is when coaching can be such a powerful resource to support their progress towards achieving lasting, sustained weight loss.

There are many powerful limiting beliefs which drive bad eating habits and these need to be acknowledged, and overcome to ensure the good healthy eating behaviours stick and provide lasting results.  Most individuals are initially unaware how these can dictate our actions and therefore how successful our results are.  Examples of these limiting beliefs are:

• ‘losing weight is hard work’,                                                        

• ‘every time I have dieted in the past I have failed’,

• ‘I always put the weight back on again’,

• ‘I cannot control my eating habits and therefore my weight’,

• ‘I don’t deserve to achieve this goal’,

• ‘it is wasteful to leave food’, or

• ‘it is a result of my lifestyle or family background.’

How many of us were told, or tell our children, that they must finish what is on their plate as it is wasteful to leave food and there are plenty of starving children in the world who would be only too pleased to have it?  How many of us were rewarded with sweets or cakes as a treat if we behaved or performed well?  Who was given favourite sweet foods by our parents to cheer us up when we were upset or fell over? These links and beliefs, and others, if allowed to grow and embed can be the source of bad eating habits in the future.

Therefore, it takes focused, consistent efforts to recognise what is driving an individual’s bad eating habits and put actions in place to change these limiting beliefs into positive, empowering ones.  Because each of us is unique, with individual personal values, beliefs and lives; coaching is excellent for raising awareness of how these are sabotaging efforts to lose weight and assisting people to overcome them to finally achieve the weight loss goal they desire.

Prescriptive diets and exercise programmes can be effective and result in losing weight, but if the underlying causes behind a person’s eating habits are not addressed, once the diet is finished they will re-emerge and start to drive the individual’s negative eating behaviour again, causing weight to be re-gained.  This often results in a lifetime of yo-yo dieting, which reinforces the belief that they have always tried and failed in the past.

YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT: : YOU ARE WHAT YOU THINK

Summer is 6 months away!

Each individual instinctively knows which decision is right at any given stage of the process.  By choosing their own action steps they will be congruent with their lifestyle and their values, massively increasing the success rate.  The key is to choose small steps to start, which you can achieve regularly so that, before long, they become an unconscious positive eating or exercise habit.

Who do you know that has a summer holiday booked but would dearly love to feel more comfortable exposing more flesh?  In six months on this programme they can regain control, lose weight and develop the positive mindset to choose to enjoy all the holiday food on offer without sliding back into bad habits.  Think how much more enjoyable that holiday would be!
