Weight loss is hard, difficult, stubborn and often results in a cyclical behaviour known as “yo-yo” dieting where you seem to be in this constant cyclical behaviour of losing weight and gaining weight over and over and over again.

 

Toowoomba, don’t worry…

I have a solution for you to avoid you feeling like you are constantly chasing your tail when it comes to working on your fitness…and I want to share that solution with you here today.

How to Lose Weight…anywhere…not just in Toowoomba

 

The science of weight loss is really clear - and when you comprehend what the science is, you can start to have a much deeper and greater insight into why you have fallen into things like:

  • All-or-nothing mindsets

  • Eating “healthy” for a short period of time

  • Losing all motivation to exercise and go to the gym

  • Losing weight initially and then being disheartened when that pace doesn’t keep up

  • Feeling like you are broken

  • Signing up to diet, after diet, after diet and never getting anywhere

You see, to lose weight you need one thing: A CALORIE DEFICIT

This means that what you expend in energy each and every day is greater than the sum of the amount of energy you put into your body.

I go into a Calorie Deficit in copious amounts of detail throughout this website (here, here and here). A Calorie Deficit is really easy to comprehend, but that doesn’t mean it is easy to execute.

In fact, it is very hard to execute because of so many environmental and biological factors that you are facing each day. These can vary from:

  • Sleep patterns

  • Stress

  • Medications

  • Thyroidism and/or Hashimotos

  • Mental Health

  • Physical Injuries

And many many more.

However, all of these factors are things that make weight loss more difficult, not impossible. Throughout my near decade in this industry I have seen many people with these conditions lose weight successfully by getting into a Calorie Deficit.

There is one concern I have regarding a calorie deficit and its efficacy in helping you lose weight, and that is the mindset it can often place someone into.

The word deficit, in many peoples minds, correlates to restriction - and it is this trap that many many “weight-loss diets” will have you fall into - however I have a solution for you.

Where Do I Start If I Want To Lose Weight? Weight Loss Coach Toowoomba

 

I am a Weight Loss Coach here in Toowoomba. My solution has been developed over years and years of coaching thousands of people both in person and online across the world.

I started out as an in person Personal Trainer in my hometown of Hornchurch and have ended up in Toowoomba, via London, Essex and the Gold Coast. Online I have trained people all over America, Ireland, India and New Zealand. I have won awards for my personal training both online and in person and have written extensively in magazines and on this website about this very topic.

In short, I have seen many different types of people and have extensive experience in helping people through the very difficult and often destructive world of weight loss.

I tell you this not as a brag, not to stroke my ego or to impress you - but to empress upon you how far and wide I have travelled to distill this one very simple message. It is a message I put at the forefront of everything I do when it comes to weight loss with all of my clients, and if you manage to buy into it as well - you will reap more rewards than you have ever thought imaginable.

“To lose weight; get strong”
— Adam Berry

Strong AF. Swole is the goal.

 

You see, when you view your weight loss journey as an opportunity to get stronger it removes your mind from restriction to abundance - because in order to get stronger you simply need to do more - not less.

I am not asking you to look like Arnie, and lets face it, if it was that simple to get “big and bulky” do you not think more people in society would have managed it by now?

I promise you the fear of looking too muscular, as opposed to “slim” has hindered your progress to what you ultimately want. In avoiding finding your strength and training with that goal in mind, you have put yourself on a hamster wheel of weight loss, and never actually managed to make any progress that is tangible enough, and crucially sustainable enough.

The Gym is a place for getting stronger - not thinner.

Training is a method with which we improve and develop a skill as opposed to punish and reduce ourselves.

The Gym is a playground of weights, a playground for the body, in which you can learn and develop not just your physical body but your mind as well.

I remember when I first got to Toowoomba, I was training a Mum who was concerned about her bodyweight and I asked one simple question:

“Why does this matter so much to you?”

She looked lost, she looked dumbstruck in being able to respond to me, because she had never really thought about her perpetual pursuit to weight loss - I think she never realised she was putting so much into it.

When she couldn’t utter a response I simply said:

“Your children don’t care about how much you weigh. They care that you are strong enough to look after them”.

And in an instant, she relaxed.

It was as if someone had finally taken her hand and said stop punishing yourself, because it doesn’t matter at all.

And if you think about it, that is all anyone wants right? To be strong enough to be able to care for the people they need to care for - and those who are the cared for only want the person doing the caring to be strong enough to carry that load.

This is why strength is the solution to weight loss.

Get into a Calorie Deficit

As mentioned before, an awful lot goes into what makes a calorie deficit possible. But the science is very clear on this. You need to consume fewer calories than you expend from your body. You can expend calories in several ways. However the equation isn’t to just burn calories, but it is also to learn strategies to help you consume fewer.

Every other one of my five awesome rules helps you achieve number one. So pay close attention.

 

Three Litres of Water A Day

That is a lot. Three litres is a lot, and not everyone can manage that amount of water. But it is a good target if you are allowed to drink that much, to aim for. Being adequately hydrated can give you a lot more energy and focus, which in turn will help with your caloric expenditure. Added to that, by drinking more water you will then likely feel less hungry, and snack less. So often my clients are thirsty, not hungry and it is amazing how having some water suddenly makes their hunger disappear.

Protein and Veggies at Every Meal

Protein is a wonderful form of food. It is a macronutrient, and it is wonderful because it leaves you feeling fuller for longer and takes longer for your body to digest than carbohydrates or dietary fat. This will help reduce snacking, and increase your metabolism all at the same time.

It also helps with muscular repair - which is no bad thing as you are now trying to get strong AF.

The Veggies part of this equation is that vegetables have a lot of fibre in them, which is great for your energy levels, as well as helping you feel full.

Now eating this at every meal isn’t the easiest, especially for breakfast. However, I put that in here because I want to emphasise the point of how important eating on a regular schedule is. Three meals a day, two snacks. This is important for weight loss for a few reasons but the top two are that it regulates your hunger hormones, as well as helps improve your relationship with food. Let’s face it, if you don’t have a good relationship with food then you really shouldn’t be trying to lose weight to start with.

Get Strong AF / 10k Steps A Day

 

Get strong AF - because lets face it - nothing bad can come of getting stronger can it? Strength training is also accessible to nearly every human alive, unlike many other forms of movemnt like playing sport hence I like to try to help as many of my friends as possible get strong AF.

Now, 10k Steps A Day, isn’t easy in Australia. I used to always find getting my steps in so much easier in London. But here we are, and actually, Toowoomba is probably more helpful than most places in Australia for this - at least Autumn and Winter are normal temperatures. Nothing in life is quite as nice as an Autumn Walk around Queens Park.

As you now know, to be in a calorie deficit, you need to spend more calories than you consume. To spend calories all movement is helpful, and in conversations about metabolism, this is often referred to as NEAT (Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis). 7500 steps is the magic number to improve your health and mortality but all movement is helpful so I set all of my clients the goal of 10k. Get above 7500 you’re winning. Get to 10k you’re winning even more.

It’s another win-win.


7 Hours Sleep A Night

 

Look, I appreciate many people out there who just can’t get 7 hours of sleep in a night. New mums, new dads and shift workers to name a few. However, an awful lot of my clients can get 7 hours of sleep in a night, yet before they met me, they didn't realise they needed to.

Put simply when we are tired two things happens to the body. Firstly, our willpower is lowered and therefore we are less likely to adhere to our dietary wishes. Secondly, our activity drops, because we are tired.

Rest is one of the most integral parts to a weight loss process. So please prioritise it.

The piece of this Toowoomba Weight Loss puzzle that I am most passionate about is step 2.

Get Strong AF.

It’s what I am passionate about.

It’s how many, many, many of my friends have found their joy in movement and fitness.

I just have one other aspect of How To Lose Weight In Toowoomba to take you through:

Hypnotherapy for Weight Loss Toowoomba

 

Curiously, hypnotherapy seems to be a popular search for people who are looking to lose weight in Toowoomba. I am not overly familiar with hypnotherapy, however, I am a firm believer in the power of meditation and in particular the power of stillness to help my clients lose weight.

Whether these moments of stillness help them fall asleep, so that they get their 7 hours of sleep in, or whether these moments help them reduce stress and therefore decrease their desire for comforting foods, I recommend a few moments of meditation as regularly as is possible.

The power of stillness and calm in this day and age is one that requires a lot of work, and discipline but the benefits can be huge, especially if you are looking to lose weight.

Each of my clients gets access to my meditation series called The Daily Stillness, which not only helps them find these quiet moments in their day, but it also helps them improve their self esteem, their relationship with food, increase thier sleep, help them with motivation for working out as well provide tools to reduce anxiety and stress.
