Eating less, skipping treats, trying to exercise more — and the weight refusing to move — is an increasingly common frustration for many.
According to local weight loss coach Grace Joyce, the issue is often not lack of willpower, but a slowing metabolism.
“When metabolism slows, the body starts storing fat more easily, cravings increase, energy drops and weight loss becomes much harder,” Grace explains.
“A lot of people are blaming themselves when the real issue is that their metabolism is no longer working efficiently.”
Grace says many people unknowingly make the problem worse by under-eating and over-exercising in an effort to lose weight quickly.
While this may work temporarily, it can lead to muscle loss, fatigue, hormone imbalance and even slower fat burning over time.
Her 5 and 10-week programmes focus on restoring metabolism and helping the body return to effective fat burning.
Participants receive structured seven-day meal plans using normal everyday foods, tailored exercise guidance, weekly one-to-one weigh-ins and ongoing support throughout the programme.
The programme is particularly suitable for people struggling with hormonal weight gain, menopause-related weight, thyroid issues, post-pregnancy weight, cravings, low energy and poor sleep.
Clients across Galway have already seen strong results: Ruth from Athenry says: “I have just finished a 5-week course and delighted with my 10 lbs weight loss”
Anne from Knocknacarra says: “I love the structure and routine this plan gives you, it makes it very easy to follow and it has lots of food so I was never hungry, I lost 21 lbs in the 10 weeks and never felt deprived.”
With summer upon the city and the last course of this summer starting July 8th, book your 5-week course to drop 10/12 lbs.
