Virtual Nutrition Coaching For Fat Loss

02/15/2026

Saving calories earlier in the day is the exact thing that’s keeping you from making progress.

It’s one of the main problems I see when clients initially start in my program.

They thought it was the “right” thing to do because they were taught eating less is always the answer for fat loss.

But it leads to:
Overeating
Snacking out of guilt
Feeling uncomfortably full
Waking up frustrated and bloated
Lower energy throughout the day

Sometimes progress means letting go of everything you learned in the past that got you here.
I know it feels comfortable because it’s familiar.

But working on the exact things that scare you are the exact things that help you
✅ Finally leave you feeling energized
✅ Help you stop obsessing over food
✅ Finally lose fat and keep it off

If this sounds like exactly where you’re stuck...
This is exactly what I help my clients fix. If you would like this kind of support..

Ever notice how it’s always the same pattern?

You make a plan that you have every intention on sticking with.

And then… one hard day hits and it’s like you’re on autopilot.

Snacking after work or at night.
Scrolling social media instead of doing your workout.
Feel guilty and then starting over next week telling yourself it’ll be different.

Most people I speak with blame themselves and say they just need willpower or motivation.

But there’s actually a reason that is much deeper and more important than that.

It’s that your brain choosing a path it already knows.
Even when you want to choose differently…
Your brain defaults to what’s familiar and comfortable during stressful times.

Once my clients were able to notice the patterns and understand why they kept happening, everything changed for their progress. They were able to stay consistent and stop relying on motivation.

So I made a quick video walking you through the exact way I explain this to clients and how we start creating new patterns that actually stick.

Comment “HABITS” below or DM me and I will send the link to you.

If you’ve ever felt like “I know what to do, I just don’t do it”—this is why.

Wanting to improve your body and health… but everything just feels difficult and you’re not sure why?

When you look through these screenshots, notice what actually changed first.

Not crazy weight loss or “I followed my macros perfectly.”

Stuff like…

Walking past the kitchen without grabbing something “just because.”
Having enough energy to work out after work.
Not waking up with aches and pains and finally feeling strong again.

These are the changes that actually create sustainable fat loss.

This stuff doesn’t magically fix itself.

Next month doesn’t get less busy.
Work doesn’t get less stressful.
You don’t just build muscle without effort.

If you don’t change the pattern, you just keep replaying the same week over and over.

That’s where coaching changes everything.

If you would like 1-on-1 support, DM me or comment “fortified” below.

I’ll ask you a few questions and share exactly what that would look like.

My client Abby came to me about 4 months ago really frustrated.

She’s smart, capable, handles a million things at work… and then by the end of the day she’d catch herself standing in the kitchen grabbing random food between calls thinking, “why can’t I get it together?”

Sometimes she wasn’t even hungry.

She’d just grab snacks because they were there. Or because she wanted something to take the edge off the stress.

Abby thought it was a discipline problem.
It usually isn’t.

When your brain has been making decisions all day, food becomes whatever is fastest and easiest. Honestly, anyone would do the same thing in that situation.

So instead of telling her to try harder or cut foods out, we just made her days easier and less chaotic. We put a simple plan in place and a backup for busy days so she wasn’t winging it all week.

We also worked on noticing the stress triggers so food wasn’t the automatic answer every time.

Once that clicked, the cravings slowed down fast. Her energy got better and she wasn’t finding herself in the kitchen after every call.
Nothing was wrong with her. Her day just wasn’t set up to support her.

If you’re curious what this could look like for you, send me a message. We’ll talk through what’s going on and I’ll share what I’d change first to finally see progress.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard some version of:
“I used to just eat a little cleaner, add some cardio, and the weight would come off… but now nothing’s changing.”

And I understand how frustrating that can be. Because your effort hasn’t changed. Sometimes I even see people putting in more time/effort. But they are putting that time and energy into things that don’t help their long term progress and overall health.

You don’t need more information.

You need someone to help you finally make sense of all the pieces you’ve been trying to put together while life keeps throwing more at you.

Because when you’re already drained from work, parenting, stress…

So trying to figure out “the right plan” becomes another thing on your to-do list.

And that’s where most people stay stuck.

They keep trying harder with the wrong strategy.
More cardio. Less food.
Still exhausted and not seeing consistent change.

Your body isn’t broken.
But your plan might be built for a season of life you’re no longer in.

That’s exactly what I help my clients fix.
Not just with workouts and nutrition - but with structure, mindset, and follow-through they can actually stick with in the real world.

If you’re tired of putting in effort and still feeling stuck… DM me “COACHING.” I’ll ask a few quick questions, then send a short personalized video showing how I’d shift your approach to start seeing results.

“I was initially hesitant to start working with Zach because I was nervous it would be more of the same. I was so wrong!”

That’s what Lauren told me before we started working together.
And I get it.

When you’ve tried everything.
Weight Watchers, macro tracking, trainers, keto, Noom, you start to believe the problem must be you.

That maybe you just don’t have enough willpower.
That maybe your body is the exception.
That maybe this is as good as it gets.

But it’s not.

Lauren had every reason to think this wouldn’t work either.
But she showed up anyway.

Through bad days. Through surgery. Through moments she wanted to quit.
And she lost 110 lbs while building muscle and rebuilding trust with herself.

Not because we focused on some magic formula bu****it you hear from all the online fitness gurus.

When her energy dipped or the week fell apart, we didn’t “start over Monday.”

We made a plan for the next one.
We looked at the feedback.
We kept going.

And that’s what changed everything.

Now she’s down 110 lbs, playing tennis again, and finally trusting herself around food.

If you’re ready for 1-on-1 support with your health, send me a DM with the word “SUPPORT.”
I’ll ask you a few quick questions, then send over a personalized video with exactly what I’d recommend based on where you’re at.

You walk in the door and head straight to the kitchen.
Or you’re finally on the couch and somehow already halfway through the snacks.
You didn’t plan on it. It just kind of… happened. Again.

This is one of the most common patterns I help clients with.

And no, removing all the snacks or forcing yourself to stick to a “clean” meal plan doesn’t actually solve it.

It’s usually one (or more) of three things:
– You skipped meals thinking that would be “good”
– You’re anxious as hell and food = comfort
– You’re stuck in the “bored + tired = snack” loop

None of this means you can’t achieve results or you “just don’t have what it takes.”

It just means your system is doing what it’s been trained to do. The fix isn’t restriction. It’s awareness, support, and a plan that actually works in your real life.

If this keeps getting in your way and you want to figure out why it’s happening (and what to do about it)…

DM me “SNACKS.”
I’ll ask you 3 quick questions about your day and send you a short video with what I’d recommend to help you fix it.

Still chasing the scale… but your body isn’t changing?
This is exactly why so many people feel stuck, even when they’re “doing everything right.”

Building muscle takes time, effort, and consistency, especially as you age.

But if you want to look toned, have more energy, and feel strong for the long haul…

You NEED muscle.

You start losing muscle in your 30s, even if you’re active.
Most people lose 3–8% each decade, and that rate speeds up after 60.
If you’re not actively building or maintaining muscle, you’re slowly losing the thing that keeps you strong, toned, and independent.

That’s one reason metabolism slows down, energy dips, and fat loss feels harder than it used to.

Cardio has its place, but if you’re not prioritizing strength, you’re missing the thing that actually changes your body.

It’s never too late to rebuild or even start for the first time.

You just need to:
✅ Train with enough intensity to actually stimulate muscle
✅ Follow a clear plan you can stick to
✅ Stop “starting over” every time life gets busy

This isn’t about becoming a bodybuilder or lifting max weights.

It’s about training in a way that supports the life you want now and 10 years from now.

If you’re tired of stressing over the “perfect” plan or wasting time on workouts that aren’t building muscle…
Comment or DM me “STRONG” and I’ll show you what this can look like for you.

It’s 4pm. You just finished work and you’re exhausted.

You’re eating snacks straight from the bag, trying to curb your hunger and take the edge off the stress.

Another macro plan isn’t the answer.

That was Keri.

She’d tried everything: Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, fasting, personal trainers.

Her A1C was down… but she was still stuck in the same cycle.

What she needed wasn’t more nutrition info or another “cut this out” plan.

She needed a way to trust herself around food again.

Especially with low energy, a million things going on, and all the effort she was already putting in… nothing was really shifting.

On our first call, she said:

🗣️ “I realized I haven’t been prioritizing my health… and I want to be here for my kids.”

That was the moment everything changed.

Inside our work together, she didn’t start by counting calories or cutting out snacks.

We focused on why she was turning to food and how to break the guilt-shame cycle that kept her stuck.

She started building real trust with her body, without tracking everything or punishing herself for being human.

Now she’s making the most progress she ever has and showing her kids what real change actually looks like.
