I remember the saying “No Man is an Island” from many years ago, and it’s true still today. We can accomplish a lot more when we work in a group or have the support of our peers to help us reach our goals. The is especially true when it comes to losing weight.
Another thing people often overlook, or are shy to ask for, is having a mentor. There have been many studies recently that show that people who ask for, and work with, a mentor or coach have a much higher chance for success than those who stubbornly try to ‘go it alone.’
Anne Collins is an Irish nutritionist and the beauty and strongest point of her weight loss program is the very active forum. All the comments I read by people who use the forum – newcomers and old timers alike – were positive and full of stories of support and encouragement as they walked their path towards good health and weight control. She personally moderates this forum. She will answer your questions and guide you as you progress. It’s also possible for members to send private messages. She stresses that lack of motivation is one of the biggest obstacles to successful weight loss, and motivation is one of the high points of this program.
Anne Collins doesn’t just offer a “one plan fits all” diet program. Her program has nine different diet plans so you can chose which one best suits you and you can move around between the different plans whenever you chose.
