Our Weight Loss Phone Coaching Program
Summary
Weight loss coaching and support by phone is a relatively new service
that's growing in popularity. More diet companies are offering this sas part of their program. Phone coaching for weight loss can be a happy mid-ground between the sometimes
impersonal online diet plans and the in-person advice offered via a weight loss
center or healthcare professional's office. You speak to a live person, just not
in person.

Not sure if weight loss phone coaching is for you?
Quality phone
coaching programs are rare in the United States. Bally's (the large health club chain) has
one, BUT you have to be a club member to use it. HealthPartners (large HMO in
the Midwest) has a program, BUT you have to be a member of their health
plan--not open to the public. Weight Talk is another phone program, BUT there's
a lot of pressure to buy HMR company diet foods. NutriSystem provides
counseling, BUT again you have to buy their diet food. Get the picture?
By contrast, Trimtalk is completely open to the public, and
you DO NOT have to buy any diet foods or supplements.
The following is what you
can expect from the Trimtalk Phone Coaching Program...
Your Dedicated Personal Weight Loss Coach... These are
supervised by registered dietitians, psychologists, fitness instructors, and other degreed professionals. We have male and female coaches,
and some will be bilingual in Spanish. We will coach, support and advise you, by phone, in 3 main areas: nutrition, exercise, and psychology.
We listen!
Days & Hours Available... Every day, from
6 AM to 12 PM Eastern time. Phone calls are toll-free.
Length of program... This is a 4-8 week
program, which may be extended at additional cost if desired. You may sign up for another session if you have not reached your goal
in that time.
What You Will Get:
After an initial consultation to determine your
eligibility for the program, we'll set up an assessment call to obtain your
health history, personal preferences, past dieting history, establish your
goals, etc. We'll set up a personalized meal plan based on your preferences.
This is the most in-depth call.
A mutually convenient time is set up for your weekly phone
coaching sessions (toll-free), which will last 30 minutes each. You get
one-to-one coaching, with the SAME coach. This provides for more personal attention than
chat rooms, meetings, or bulletin boards.
Each week, you will send in your food journal online, checklists of exercises done,
setbacks, problems, accomplishments, goals for the coming week, etc. to your
Coach, prior to the scheduled time of your phone session.
Accountability and honesty is crucial if we are going to help you reach your
goals.
Your weight loss Coach
will
have solid nutrition knowledge, be a good listener, be empathetic, be
motivational, and most importantly, have been successful at losing weight and
maintaining their weight loss.
They also go through a company training and certification program and
undergo continuing
education and training.
Trimtalk 70-page client workbook, containing in-depth nutrition,
exercise and motivational tips, journals, quizzes, etc., purchased

The Trimtalk Website... You also get membership to a
substantial supporting website with all kinds of tools, nutrition and other
articles, and more, and you may purchase books, tapes, and other products that complement
your weight loss efforts.
You may also earn a "referral fee" for a friend that signs up for our program.
When completed, you'll have all the tools you need to STAY
healthy and slim, and you will not be dependent on a company's diet food or
supplements for life.
There are 2 ways to

hearing from you today.

lose, except those
extra pounds?
A Word About
Weight Loss Coaches In General
Counseling, coaching, or "consulting" in the weight loss field in general has for decades
been sub-par. Coaches have been paid low salaries and turnover has been high.
It has always been difficult to find that rare combination of background in the
three areas so critical to weight loss success--expertise in nutrition,
psychology/motivational skills, and exercise physiology.
Happily, however, in the last 3-5 years, it has improved
substantially. Now, you can find degreed healthcare or counseling professionals
manning the phones at the call centers, such as: nurses, dietitians,
psychologists, psychiatrists, certified fitness counselors, and more. Some of
them may work full-time for a weight loss company, while some work part-time.
Telephone fitness
coaches seem to be the hot new trend lately, in an effort to save weight and
fitness-conscious consumers time and money. It seems to work, at least according
to a recent Stanford University article entitled: "Telephone-Assisted Counseling
for Physical Activity." Researchers conclude that phone counseling is convenient
and gives participants greater access to counselors and promotes physical
activity for those who may not be responsive to face-to-face training.
There is even an
Association of Fitness by Phone Coaches. Member companies of this group claim to
be getting inundated with calls from women aged 35-55 who are too busy, too
unmotivated or too frustrated to exercise.
How much does this
fitness phone counseling cost? About $50 per session, according to the company Fitness by Phone®.
