In just 4 weeks, Angie achieved:
–4.5 kg weight loss
–11 cm total measurements
–3.2 kg body fat loss/–1.1% body fat
–1 level visceral fat

But what’s even more powerful than the numbers are the health changes she’s experienced:
💛 Reduced bloating and water retention
💛 Increased energy and vitality
💛 No cravings (even around trigger foods)
💛 Improved food satisfaction and fullness
💛 Better hydration habits
💛 Simple, easy meal prep that fits her lifestyle
💛 More daily movement and overall feeling healthier

Angie stayed consistent, listened to her body, planned ahead for social occasions, and had amazing family support proving that this lifestyle is realistic, sustainable, and healing.
This is what happens when nutrition is personalised, simple, and focused on health first fat loss becomes a natural side effect.

Proud of you, Angie
Consistency always wins🍏

WELL DONE JUANINE 🌟

Juanine’s journey is such a powerful reminder that this is not about perfection it’s about changing habits and showing up, even when life throws you curve balls.

She had weeks where she was sick, couldn’t train, and couldn’t follow her plan 100%… yet she never gave up. She focused on better choices, cutting carbs, prioritising protein, staying aware and trusting the process.

Her results speak for themselves:
• 15.2 cm lost
• 5.9% body fat down
• 6.1 kg fat lost
• 4 levels visceral fat down
• 5.7 kg total weight loss

This didn’t happen because everything went perfectly.
It happened because she kept showing up, adapted when needed, and focused on building sustainable habits.

If you’re going through a tough season let this remind us:
Progress is still possible. Consistency beats perfection every time. 💪

Small Steps, Big Changes

One of my favourite parts of this journey is watching someone slowly step into a healthier, stronger version of themselves not through perfection, but through consistency, courage, and choosing better habits one day at a time.

Recently, I witnessed a client make incredible progress:
✨ A healthier body
✨ A calmer mind
✨ Better energy
✨ More confidence in her choices
✨ And a growing belief in herself

What inspires me most isn’t the centimetres lost or the numbers on the scale it’s the mindset shift.

It’s the moment someone realises:
“I can actually do this. I can change my life.”

Even during the festive season, with all its temptations and social pressure, she chose to stay mindful, stay committed, and stay kind to herself. That is real transformation.

To anyone on their own journey:
Keep going.
Progress doesn’t always shout sometimes it whispers through better habits, clearer thinking, and a stronger sense of self.

Your small steps today become the healthier, happier you

Innike’s Transformation Journey 🌟

Over the past few weeks, Innike has shown what is truly possible when you stay consistent, trust the process, and commit to small daily habits.

She has been training at Urban Shack , showing up for herself, and that consistency is paying off in a BIG way. Her results keep improving week after week:
🔥 Body fat keeps dropping
🔥 Visceral fat keeps reducing
💪 Muscle mass is increasing
✨ Energy and mental clarity have improved

But what makes her journey so powerful is not just the numbers
it’s the habits she has changed:
✔️ Morning lemon water routine
✔️ Less cravings
✔️ More mindful eating
✔️ Better water intake
✔️ Less coffee
✔️ Consistency with movement
✔️ Making better choices even on busy days
✔️ Teaching her children healthy habits along the way

Her story is a reminder that:
You don’t need perfection you need consistency.
You don’t need extreme changes you need daily habits.

Watching her progress has been inspiring, and it proves that when you combine nutrition principles with structured training, the results WILL come.

Let’s celebrate her wins and let it motivate you on your own journey.
If she can do it with a busy lifestyle, family, and responsibilities so can you! 💪

Why hormones often make weight loss (or plateaus) harder

Hormones control hunger, fullness & metabolism
Hormones like Leptin (satiety/fullness hormone), Ghrelin (hunger hormone), insulin, thyroid hormones, and stress hormones all play a role in telling your body when to eat, how much, and how fast to burn energy.

When your hormones are “off,” the system misfires
For example: if you have high insulin (or insulin resistance), your body may store more fat and burn less.

Hormonal signals adapt when you restrict calories or over‑exercise Doing a very strict “eat less, exercise more” regime can raise stress hormones like Cortisol. When cortisol stays elevated, your body may respond by preserving fat often around the abdomen because it “thinks” you’re starving. This also disrupts s*x hormones (like Estrogen and Testosterone), which further complicates metabolism, muscle mass and fat storage.

As body fat drops, regulatory signals change
When fat mass decreases, leptin levels fall, which signals to the brain that energy stores are low. That can trigger increased hunger and a slower metabolic rate making sustained weight loss and further fat loss harder.

Hormonal changes across life stages matter (e.g. perimenopause / menopause) As hormone levels change with age, the strategy that used to work may no longer be effective.

Bottom line: Hormones aren’t just a “background” factor they’re central to how our bodies store fat, feel hungry/full, burn calories, and respond to diet and exercise. Sometimes, even with “perfect” diet & exercise, hormonal imbalance or mis‑regulation can stall or reverse expected weight change.

*What we can do* practical steps to support healthy hormone‑linked weight regulation

Avoid extreme calorie restriction or over‑exercising
Instead of harsh dieting, aim for reasonable, balanced eating. Very low calorie diets or long heavy workouts can raise cortisol, disturb metabolism, and make the body hold onto weight.

Prioritize nutrient-rich whole foods (not ultra‑processed)
Whole foods, balanced macros (healthy fats, sufficient protein, fiber, complex carbs) help support stable insulin, leptin and other hormone levels.

Focus on strength training / resistance + smart activity, not just cardio
Strength / resistance training helps maintain or build muscle, which supports a healthy metabolism and may counter hormonal shifts that reduce metabolic rate.

Prioritise good sleep and stress management
Poor or insufficient sleep disrupts hormones that regulate hunger and fullness (like leptin and ghrelin), while chronic stress raises cortisol both of which can sabotage weight‑loss efforts.

Be kind hormones make it more complicated than “just calories in/calories out”

If you’re doing “all the right things” and still stuck, hormonal balance might need support (e.g. via lifestyle adjustments, medical check‑ups). It’s not a moral failure it’s biology.
