Session 1

www.CoachesWithClients.com

• Goal: turn you into a super

powerful weight loss coach

• This starts with getting hired

• Sign up clients to long term

coaching (6 to 12 months)

• Most people struggle to lose

weight & often gain it back

• Long term coaching will help them

lose weight and keep it off forever

• 6 months might be fine for people

who want to lose between 10-30

pounds

“Overview…”


• There are increasing numbers

of overweight people

• We can’t help but compare

ourselves to others

• Why are we overweight?

• Portion sizes

• How many calories you need is

based on how much you weigh

• General guidelines for calories

consumed per day

• Average man: 2,200 per day

• Average woman: 1,900 per day

“Background On Weight Loss Coaching…”


• You can easily eat double your

recommended allowance of

calories in just one meal

• Exercise is good for your health

• You can eat more calories in 5

minutes than you can burn off

in 5 hours of exercise

• So, why are we fat?

• We eat too much

• We’re not very active

• We eat mindlessly

• We eat more in social situations

• Television

“Why Are We Overweight?”


• They want to lose weight

• They also want to get healthy

• They want to lose a lot of weight

fast

• Things to avoid...

• Bulimia (binge & purge)

• Anorexia

“Your Client’s Goals…”


1. Discipline & will power are not the

keys to success

– We want to make it easy & natural

– Use tools from Rapid Coaching

Academy

2. Losing weight is simple

3. Consume less calories (eat

healthy)

4. Burn more calories

– Disclaimer: consult their physician

5. Sleep more

– 7-1/2 to 8 hours per night

recommended

– Study: 8-1/2 pounds lost in 12 weeks

“Weight Loss Coaching Principles...”


• 80% of success in losing weight is a

mental game

• A lot of emotions are tied into eating

• We distract ourselves with food

• We console ourselves with food

• We celebrate with food

• Women often gain weight to feel

“safe” (less attractive)

• You’re not a therapist

• Recommend that they see a

therapist when appropriate

“The Mental & Emotional Connections...”


When a client first hires you...

• Tell her to eat less calories

• Do more activities everyday

• Get enough sleep

• Situations are going to come up

• Stack the deck in their favor

• “We might change the plan as

we go along.”

• “You might find that it’s easy to

stick with it in the beginning...”

“Your First Session…”


• Let them know that not sticking

to the plan is OK (80% of the

time)

• Keep you on track and help you

get back on track

• “Be open enough to share that

with me so we can dig in...”

• “If you’re willing to do the work,

you’re absolutely going to get

there.”

• Help them calculate how long it

will take to reach their goal

“Keeping Your Client On Track…”


• “My goal is to help you lose the

weight and then help you keep it off

forever.”

• Talk about what they should and

shouldn’t eat

• Talk about exercise

• Set up an open and honest

relationship

• “Some clients fall off their weight loss

plan and don’t want to tell me...”

“I’m never going to be disappointed.”

• “I’m not here to judge you.”

“An Open & Honest Relationship…”


• Have people tell you how thin they

want to be

• Weight isn’t always the best measure

• Body fat percentages are challenging

• Have them take their measurements

before your first session

• Weight fluctuates around 2 pounds

throughout the day

• The “Push Button” Weight: “If you

could push a button, how much would

you really like to weigh?”

“Some Ideas About Weight…”


• “What have you tried in the past that

worked for a while?”

• “Why do you think it stopped

working?”

• “How did you feel about it?”

“What Have You Tried Before?”


• What are some activities you could

do this week?

• Menu of exercises

• What would be fun for you?

• What could you do regularly?

• Have them prioritize which ones

they would like to try first

“Exercise & Activities...”


• Zero calorie drinks

• Often people don’t realize how

many calories they’re

consuming per day

• Offer the idea of going on a low

calorie diet for the short term

• Egg whites have very few

calories (17 calories each)

• Veggies are low in calories

– Sugar snap peas

– Carrots

• Zero calorie sweetener: stevia

“Changing The Way They Eat…”


• Clients might have high energy

and will power the first week

• A 1,200 calorie diet is hard to

keep longer than 3-5 days

• Advocate 29 minutes of

exercise/day

• Even 5 minutes is better than no

exercise

• Build healthy habits

“Building Healthy Habits...”


• Q: In the first session, share the

principles & create a plan?

• A: One or the other works. Whatever

you have time for. Go through the

“Weight Loss Coaching System” and

have them pick one thing they’re

going to do this week...
