" I've gotten stronger according to the measurements in the gym, I've started eating less meat and meditating, and go for a walk more often."
Ingrid transformed her approach to weight loss by focusing beyond just food. Through small, effective changes like better sleep and more movement, she gained strength at the gym, reduced meat consumption, started meditating, and now feels confident helping others build lasting healthy habits.
When I started I hoped to boost my coaching business and finally lose weight myself. I've been trying to get slimmer for years and I still haven't succeeded, this program looks beyond just the food and that seemed sensible to me. I believe in the quality of Mindvalley and had more time for a while so chose to make this investment. I found it quite difficult to do the coaching calls because they are at an inconvenient time - dinner time in my timezone. I liked that the program started with small steps and 0-effort changes that turned out to be effective such as going to bed earlier, walking more, and rearranging the kitchen. I am confirmed in what I already did well. I have learned about coaching boundaries and making clearer agreements in advance. The elimination diet I did not do the part because of travel abroad, but I plan to do it in February. I've gotten stronger according to the measurements in the gym, I've started eating less meat and meditating, and go for a walk more often. I would say to myself- do the elimination diet. I look forward to continuing to build these habits and helping others with them as well.
