My Success As Diet Coach

Last year I started coaching, dusting off a training certificate I had gotten after taking a course to be a life coach a few years ago.  Classroom teaching is no longer for me, so I have to find something else to do for a living.

I invited my neighbors to come for free to a diet support group.  One discovered that she was pregnant with her second child right after we started.  We had two goals for her.

1. Keep pregnancy weight gain to a minimum, but without any extreme dieting.
2. To lose weight and to find a healthy way to eat after giving birth.

We experimented to see what worked, and she ate a very basic variety of foods, frequently enough so that she wouldn't get hungry and binge.  We discovered that cheeses caused weight gain, most probably because of the salt.  Actually I also find that my weight goes up temporarily after eating in restaurants, probably because of the salt factor.

Soon we'll start stage two, and I'll reopen the diet support group.
