Eating less, skipping treats and trying to exercise more - while the weight refuses to move - is an increasingly common frustration.
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,” Joyce explains. “A lot of people are blaming themselves when the real issue is that their metabolism is no longer working efficiently.”
Joyce 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.
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.
Losing weight properly means eating the correct level of food your body needs while at the same time building metabolism and health.
