Hormone Couching – the final results

Published by

The End Result: Well, well, well… with a big smile on my face, I finally walk in to the couching office. After all this time, I will be free again. The tests start, and here’s the update:  I’ve gained weight ! I’ve been eating super healthy, but the test shows that it’s not muscle—it’s literally fat that I’ve gained. Back to square one. And the other results? Not much better either. My hormone levels are off, my skin is terrible, and my sleep patterns are still nowhere near where they used to be. The Outcome: In short, this experience feels like a total waste of time, money, and energy. Now, I need to rebuild my muscles, regain my positive mindset (which took years to develop), and relearn what healthy eating truly means. Honestly, I started to hate myself when I ate a potato on my “cheat day.” The Coach: I still need to mention what my coach said. She wasn’t happy either. She told me that not many people go through such an extrem testing …

Hormone Couching week 7-11

Sevens week 16-23.02 I need to say this week I have gone from 0 to hero in sport. 😉 I couldn’t handle it anymore to do nothing. So 2 times weight lifting and cardio and on the weekend a good 2-hour walk up and down some mountains with my horse. My skin is pretty good, but I need to say I have also changed something in my daily routine! So what do I have changed? In the morning, I use my handmade day crème with some pigments mixed up. Then in the evening every second day I make a peeling that contains acid. After a shower, I do some needling and, depending on what my skin needs, I use my own designed night crème or some oils. Since I use my own products, my skin improved really well. I also need to say that the cheating meals are more cheating weekends now. Otherwise, I can’t handle it currently and yes, I still think 99% of the day: do I have food around me, what I …

Hormone Couching week 5-6

Fifth week We start again with the liver supplement, but in a small dose. I really don’t want to be that bad moody again, that’s just not what I am looking for. I also don’t send any food pictures anymore. It is just annoying to make from everything a picture. It is sort of I don’t have control over my own life anymore. I have started instead an excel sheet with literary everything inside. That means what I drink, how much I drink, what I eat (and I mean everything), how much I have slept, what kind of sport I make and how long, and also how my mood is. I think you can say that you know everything about me after you have studied that sheet. After such a perfect weekend, I need to push me again to eat only vegetables, meat and fish again. I hope my energy level stays up because I realized that I need the sport for my mental and body health. This extreme low-carb diet is something for a …

Hormone Couching week 1 – 4

The first week The first week was pretty ok, my energy level was high and after a few days I could already see an improvement in my skin. Happy again. The second week My energy starts to drop down extremely. I feel just horrible down and I am always a stand-up person. I start to be tired as hell and make plenty of mistakes at work. You can imagine how that helps.  My couch and I are writing a few times a week that the mood can stay the hole time and that I should listen to my body and make as much sport as my body can do / need. My Body is extreme detoxing and need all his energy for that. I don’t make more than 2 times 30 min sport and one of them is just some stretching. Skin stays how it is. I also ask her because of the back pain problems, what is one main goal of me (to get rid of it) and that I was expecting way more. …

Couching – The Start

Published by

At the beginning of January 2021, my couching started. The expectations are high, so we will see how it works. I got my cleans liver (supplement for detox) finally and the first E-Mails are coming. I got in total 2 E-Mails. 1 with the program for me and some recipes, and the second just the normal bill. The first shock! The program says nothing, really. The first few pages telling me what was coming out of the test, that’s totally ok. The next pages just tell me what I already know, what are calories, what are carbohydrates… and what? No sport excises nothing. The recipes, well, every fitness couch has these things for free on their website. But nice try. It says what I should for example eat in the day and what I shouldn’t. But that’s sort of it. Her written down goals are also complete different from what I want! -losing 2-3 kilos ??? Really ??? -skin problems No note for the real deal. My back pains or stomach problems. Before I go …
