I personally calculate everyone's targets based on their individual circumstances and goals, and this will include a daily calorie range and a protein goal.

These are reviewed mid way through the programme to make sure you are on track!

To help you get started you'll get my recipe book with 30 recipes for breakfast, lunch & dinner and I'll teach you how to structure the meals that you like to fit with your weight loss goal, because the best way for you to lose weight, and maintain that weight loss in the long term is to find the food and meals that work for you and your family.

Tracking calories for a short time is really good to build your awareness of what different foods & drinks contain, how big a portion is, and how these foods make you feel. In the longer term it is absolutely possible to lose weight and keep it off without tracking.

There are various apps you can use to help, I recommend Nutracheck or My Fitness Pal.

Moving your body daily is one of the best ways to improve your overall health, and if you don't currently do anything then the benefits you'll feel from just doing a little will be significant! Everyone is different, but I'll ask you what you do now and we'll agree some activity goals for you. This could be increasing your daily steps, or starting a strength routine, it all depends on you.

No! You'll be given structured workouts that you can do at home or at a gym, so it's up to you. If you don't use a gym and want to workout at home I recommend investing in dumbbells up to 8kg .

Alcohol has no positive health benefits, contains empty calories that will slow down your weight loss, and tends not to lead to the positive behaviours associated with losing weight. I won't tell you to give up, but just be aware of how it affects you, and if you don't compromise here, you'll have to compromise somewhere else to get to your goal.

Of course! Eating out with friends or family is one of life's pleasures and you absolutely don't need to give this up. Depending on how often you eat out you may need to make different choices about what you eat, we can talk about this in our 1-1's.

Great! Learning how to live your life while getting results is a big part of the process here... and if you're waiting for the time when you have nothing on for the next 40 days you'll be waiting a long time.

You can change a lot in 40 days! For most women to truly change their lives you need longer. Once you've completed the 40 day focus programme you'll be eligible to join my Focused group, exclusively for graduates of the 40 days. Here you'll benefit from the support and motivation of the group with continued guidance from me.
