8-week jumpstart to lose weight by changing your mindsets around food and eating filling, real food - without feeling deprived or counting a single calorie

For Ambitious Women

Program closes on Friday, November 15th at 11:59pm PST

I struggled with losing weight my whole life, until I started making small changes and never felt deprived - and I still lost weight, without exercise!

I lost 40 pounds and felt full and satisfied the entire time, and I’ve kept it off for years!

Now, I want to share every tip, strategy and tool that I know and that has worked for hundreds of women with you.

I’m Nagina Abdullah, Health Coach for Ambitious Women.

I struggled with losing weight my whole life. I thought because of my genes I would never be able to feel confident in a fitted dress or wear a bathing suit without a cover-up.

I didn’t want to deprive myself of food I love and didn’t have time to spend hours in the gym.

I spent decades counting calories, eating hardly anything, and then shortly afterwards binge eating because I couldn’t bear the restriction. I never felt confident in a bathing suit, and would never leave home to the pool or beach without my cover-up.

After I had two kids, I worked in one of the most demanding careers out there – management consulting for a top four consulting firm in NYC. Every week I was jumping on planes and trains to new locations, working 12+ hour days and staying in hotels for multiple nights of the week. I had no routine and no extra time.

When I came home, I wanted to spend every free moment I had with my kids and my husband.

I quickly started to realize how little energy I had to do fun things I wanted with my family, like go to the park or go for a hike.

I was so frustrated because I couldn’t fit into any of the clothes in my closet, and I didn’t want to buy a size up!

I didn’t feel sexy around my husband.

Worst of all, I didn’t feel comfortable in my own skin.

I felt like even though I was successful in my professional life, I couldn’t figure out how to translate it to my body. I desperately wanted how I felt inside to be reflected on the outside.

This wasn’t the life I imagined for myself! Something needed to change!

When I wanted to lose the weight, here's the advice I would hear:

- Don't eat [insert every delicious food here] or you will gain weight

- Don't drink [cocktails, alcohol or any yummy drink here] or you'll get bloated and decrease metabolism

- You have to exercise 4-6 days a week or it must not be that important to you

- You have to count calories, points, crumbs, licks and drops or it won't work

- No eating cupcakes, donuts, and everything else you love or you will have "fallen off the wagon”

Even though I myself wanted to lose weight, I couldn’t bring myself to follow the restrictive rules the weight-loss industry brainwashed me to believe I had to follow.

They were too overwhelming. Too many rules!

With my schedule, I didn’t have hours to spend running on the treadmill or the elliptical every day.

Even when I would try to eat less, exercise more (like all the advice would tell me) and count calories, I could do it for two days, or sometimes a couple weeks, and all of a sudden I would cave in and eat three slices of pizza with ice cream afterwards.

Or, I would go on a trip and come back and really couldn’t get back on the wagon.

Life seemed to constantly happen, and it seemed so HARD to lose weight, and I just didn’t have the energy to keep doing it consistently.

This led to a lot of internal frustration, yo-yo dieting, announcing "It isn't worth it!" and "Why is this so hard for ME?"

The Day Everything Changed

One sunny afternoon soon after I had two kids, I was sitting on the couch, and my back hurt in pain. My kids were crying because they wanted to go out and play. But I was tired, lethargic, and actually felt real pain on my lower back. I didn’t feel like going for a walk with my kids or taking them to the playground. I just wanted to sleep!

I thought, “If I feel like this now, how will I feel in 5 years?”

Would I be sitting at home when I could be hiking with my family? Would I be telling my kids “no, we can’t run a 5k” because I was too out of shape? Would they be playing electronics day in and day out because I didn’t have energy to take them to practice, or play with them in the park?

Would I be the mom that looked frumpy and old, wearing clothes that didn’t look good on me because they were the only things that would hide my belly and my thighs?

I didn’t want to be a mom who felt exhausted and couldn’t have fun with her kids.

I didn’t want to be that frumpy mom that stayed home and watched TV or surfed the Internet every night, living vicariously through others’ lives.

I didn’t want to feel unsexy in my marriage.

I decided then and there that I needed to make a change. I wanted to be an energetic mom, a sexy wife, and have confidence to go out with friends and walk in front of a boardroom to present my strategy. I wanted to have a life!

I wanted to look good, and feel incredible about my body.

Something needed to change.

I couldn’t live like this anymore.

I had to take control over my body.

But I dreaded the overwhelming change I believed I would have to make to lose weight.

I believed I had to make massive, drastic changes to my life to lose weight because that’s what every other weight-loss program makes you do.

So I decided right then and there, that I had to do two things to make my weight-loss realistic. Here were my non-negotiables:

#1 - Losing weight had to be fun. I couldn’t dread what I was eating, or feel starving. I wanted to enjoy what I was eating, and feel full and satisfied.

#2 - Losing weight had to be sustainable. I didn’t want to lose 10 pounds, and put it back on again, and have to lose the same 10 pounds again and again, yo-yo dieting forever.

I NEEDED for the weight to come off NOW, but also stay off. Losing weight had to be fun so I could stick to it, and I wanted to build healthy habits WHILE I was losing weight, so I could live a healthy lifestyle even after.

I didn’t want a temporary fix. I didn’t want a detox, a fad, or an unrealistic diet.

I didn’t want to drink only two smoothies a day made with artificial powders and feel the pain of hunger in between.

I didn’t want to count points, or measure my food.

I didn’t want to feel deprived or bored with my food.

So I researched volumes of nutritional information.

I made some seemingly tiny changes to what I was eating.

I created tiny daily habits so that losing weight started to feel simple, easy, and just plain doable.

I started becoming aware of how I felt with every bite I took, and this helped me eat real, wholesome food more often.

I still ate out, but I would modify the order so I could lose weight, based on what I had learned.

I changed my mindset to believe yes, it was possible to lose weight. Even though I felt like I had tried everything and nothing had helped me lose weight and keep it off, maybe, just maybe, there was something else out there that could work for me to lose the weight once and for all.

I tracked my progress so that I stayed consistent, so I could get off the yo-yo of weight-loss I had known my entire life.

At no point did I feel deprived, cranky or low energy.

To my surprise, by making the tiny changes and implementing tiny changes, my weight came off faster than I could dream of.

I lost 10 pounds in 4 weeks, and 40 pounds in 9 months! I dropped 4 sizes. And it’s stayed off for years.

I was amazed at all the positive benefits implementing tiny tiny changes and the resulting weight-loss it was bringing me – even after losing the first 10 pounds.

My clothes started fitting again, and I could buy the cute, fitted dresses that I had always dreamed of wearing.

I felt sexy and confident when I looked in the mirror every morning.

Best of all, I had so much energy to take my kids for long walks, on active vacations, and swimming and hiking!

When I went to work, other professional women would tell me on an everyday basis how fit I looked and ask me how I did it.

I went to my 5-year business school reunion and multiple high-level VP women came and told me “I’m so jealous – how do you have two kids?”

Finally, after a lifetime of struggle, I found the tiny changes, tools and strategies that made losing weight possible . . .and EASY.

Yes, easy.

I found a way that worked to lose weight, drop my blood pressure and vital signs into the extremely healthy range, and skyrocket my energy so that running 5ks with my kids became a fun activity (and it used to be huffing and puffing hard!).

I started swimming in my bikini and JUMPING into the water with my family, playing paddleboard with my husband, and even ice skating with my kids!

I got so healthy that my DOCTOR asked me what I was doing and how I could give HER advice on how to change her family's lifestyle!.

These tiny changes helped me effortlessly drop 40 lbs. and wear the sexy dresses I dreamed of on date nights with my husband!

I never knew that making a few tiny changes could make losing weight so simple and easy. I kept a positive mindset and focused on foods to ADD to my diet, which made the weight-loss sustainable since I never felt deprived.

I started helping others, like you

Little did I know that as I was losing weight and transforming my life, I was also gaining a new passion. I started blogging my delicious recipes and the habits I had changed. Over the next two years, I went on to coach hundreds of women, some of whom have now lost up to 70 pounds!

One of my clients wanted to “look sexy for my boyfriend and for myself. When I looked in the mirror, I just saw my fat belly, grabbed a roll in disgust and wanted it gone. I wanted to get rid of the muffin top, and that’s why I worked with you.”

I’ve been featured on Fox News, Business Insider, Parents, and fitPregnancy for my 40-pound weight-loss and my technique to lose weight by making tiny changes to eating that are easy and delicious. Gretchen Rubin, NY Bestseller, even featured me as a poster woman for how to lose weight without feeling deprived!

Here's the secret - we don’t have to change everything to lose weight. We don’t need to count calories, feel hungry, and stay at home like a recluse to eat steamed chicken (or eggplant) and broccoli. We don’t have to work out for 45 minutes three times a week. Check out this short excerpt from Prevention Magazine about the effectiveness of losing weight by making tiny changes.

“A study published in the Annals of Behavioral Medicine found that participants who made one small, potentially permanent change in their food choices and/or physical activity each week (such as drinking one fewer can of soda or walking 5 more minutes each day) lost more than twice as much belly fat, 2½ more inches off their waistlines, and about 4 times more weight during a 4-month program, compared with those who followed traditional calorie-restriction and physical-activity guidelines.” - Prevention Magazine

We don’t have to deprive ourselves. It’s possible - and arguably better - to lose weight by making tiny changes. They actually stick.

Here’s what blocked my weight-loss for years

I want to share what I learned along my weight-loss journey, because I’m pretty sure it will surprise you as much as it surprised me.

I’ll start with four myths that I should have never believed - because when I stopped, my weight dropped effortlessly.

Here’s four myths the weight-loss industry tells us, my story and how I busted each. These myths make weight-loss seem out of your reach - and ultimately keep you fat.

MYTH #1: You have to starve, be hungry and cranky and eat food you don’t like to lose weight

One day when I was a student at UC Berkeley, as I was walking from one class to another, my best friend saw me meandering along, looking like I was in a daze, thinking about something. She tried to get my attention, but I was so wrapped up in my thoughts. My BFF said, “Wake up Nagina! What are you thinking about girl?” When I told her my answer, she couldn’t stop laughing.

My answer to her was “I can’t stop thinking about food!” My best friend was naturally thin (don’t you hate those people), so she couldn’t believe I was so obsessed with eating.

It was the truth. I had so many cravings from trying to eat healthy that all I could think about was food.

With my Indian background, eating flavorful food is almost mandatory. At our family dinner table, anyone who didn’t add hot peppers to pizza or couldn’t take the heat from my mom’s chicken curry would be stared down and ridiculed. When I tried to diet, my love of spicy and flavorful food really didn’t translate too well.

And I always craved Ben & Jerry’s Peanut Butter Cup ice cream and chocolate cake!

When I desperately wanted to lose weight after I couldn’t fit into any of my clothes and my feet hurt after a few minutes of walking – I knew I had to do something. And there’s only so much boring steamed broccoli a girl could eat!

I started to make tiny changes to my breakfast, then my snacks, and then what I would order when I ate out. These tiny changes started adding up.

I ADDED real foods to my day, and I felt so satisfied that I naturally wanted to eat less processed, healthy food, without even trying.

I always felt full and had to remind myself to eat again!

I lost 40 pounds feeling full, satisfied, and looking forward to every meal I ate. And the tiny changes became part of my life.

MYTH #2: It’s All or Nothing

I used to be the type of person who used to tell myself that I wouldn’t eat a cookie until I lost 10 pounds. But, when my cravings would strike, I wouldn’t be able to control myself going to my pantry and taking a cookie or walking into my break room to break off half a donut.

Then, it was downhill after that. Since I went against my plan that little bit, it’s like I opened the floodgates! A few minutes later, I would get another cookie or donut, and that night for dinner I may even say, “Forget it!” and order a pizza!

I would think, “I already messed up, so who cares?”

When I step back and think about it, that doesn’t really make sense.

If you cut your finger, are you going to keep cutting it? No, you’re going to stop. If you bang into another car, are you going to keep banging? No, you’re going to turn around.

The myth – It’s All or Nothing – is False.

The reasons we think this is because we have always learned that a DIET will help you lose weight. If we fall off the diet, it’s discouraging. As one domino falls, we think all of them fall.

MYTH #3: You have to exercise more and eat less to workout

Cardio at the gym is one of my LEAST favorite things in life. In my past life, when I struggled to lose weight, you could catch me jogging on the treadmill counting the seconds until that misery was over.

Cardio does not help you lose weight and KEEP it off. You have to work your butt off to lose weight with cardio, and if you do lose weight and then skip the gym for a week, you start to see it come right back on.

But here’s the bigger myth that I want to crush.
Have you heard that abs are made in the kitchen? It’s true about weight-loss in general.

It’s been shown that eating to lose weight is far more important than exercising and the evidence that diet matters to weight-loss more than exercise is now overwhelming!

“In the last 30 years, exercise has stayed about the same, while overweight and obesity have skyrocketed. So something else must be at play – like the type of food we’re eating.” – quote from NY Times article

But everything I read as I grew up said that I needed to exercise more and eat less to workout!

After decades of exercising for hours a week to lose weight, I finally found that eating more of the right foods rapidly dropped my weight and KEPT it off, far more than exercising ever could.

Learning this is a myth is a GAME CHANGER for busy smart women.

We just don’t have TIME to spend MOVING INTO THE GYM and running on the treadmill for 2 hours everyday!

MYTH #4: You have to give up living when you’re losing weight

I always used to think that losing weight wasn’t “worth it.” I wanted to go out to dinner with my friends, enjoy myself at weddings, and let go on vacation.

I didn’t want to be one of those people that couldn’t go anywhere because I was at home counting my calories.

See – I loving dining out with friends, or meeting for wine nights – and I love having several drinks along the way. I LOVE eating fried calamari for my appetizer, and I can’t LIVE without pizza.

As you start gradually making a few tiny changes that have a big impact, you start ENJOYING eating healthy foods. You actually like the taste, and you like how much energy it gives you.

Wouldn’t it feel great to go to a restaurant with your family, truly enjoy what you’re eating, and walk out feeling light, energetic and sexy?

Not full, lethargic or bloated?

It’s may seem hard to believe, but as you start eating real foods, you actually start tasting it – and it tastes pretty darn good!

But here’s the other thing – you can still enjoy “unhealthy foods” –in moderation! I cannot live without ice cream, chocolate cake or pizza!! When I eat it – especially moist and delicious chocolate cake – it’s everything I wanted and MORE!! I still eat all of those things.

“Genes and Jealousy Syndrome”

Have you experienced a change in your life – you recently had a baby, or just emerged from a stressful time in your life or a deadline at work – or you may just generally want to lose a few pounds or more? You don’t feel at the top of your game.

Then, to make matters worse, you see a girlfriend, colleague, or old classmates at a party or on Facebook wearing a fitted dress, or super skinny jeans with a tight top, or just looking thin overall – and the first thought in your mind is, “that skinny bitch! I hate her!”

You may think, “It has to be in her genes,” or, “she must be super-motivated” or, “she must have a lot of time on her hands – which I just don’t have.”

Meanwhile, you have to hide your feelings, mask your jealousy as something you don’t care about, and put on a polite smile and act as if nothing is wrong.

When we were growing up, my sister would pig out on chips, salsa, Taco Bell, and enchiladas - yet she was able to maintain a super slim figure. She hardly ever put on any weight on around her stomach – always my problem area. No matter how much I watched what I ate and exercise I did, I couldn’t keep my weight down. But for my sister, well, it just seemed to melt off.

It felt like a slap in the face that she kept her weight down so easily, while I was watching ALL of my calories and running and exercising so much. It made my ongoing goal to lose weight even more frustrating!

For years, I thought that other people who were thin were special - they had something I didn’t have. I thought it was in their genes, that they could eat whatever they wanted without caring, and they effortlessly had a flat stomach.

We hate the feeling of comparing ourselves to others – but it’s difficult to see others easily shed the weight, when you’ve been trying your best to exercise and eat right and nothing is coming off.

Even though we try not to consciously compare ourselves to others - it creeps into the pit of our stomach.

I’ve struggled with weight my whole life, and once I found out about a few secrets that were sustainable, my unwanted fat melted off.

After I made a few tiny changes, I reached a lower and healthier weight than I had ever reached in my lifetime.

My stomach became flat as a board, and for the first time in my life I had washboard abs! My arms were slender and toned like I had always dreamed of, and my face wasn’t puffy.

I wore bikinis with confidence, EVEN with two kids.

When I started making tiny changes eating the right foods, and still enjoying myself, I got the body I dreamed of. And you can too.

The Biggest Mistake of All!

When we can’t take our weight anymore and we reach our own personal limit - often when there’s an upcoming trip, wedding or party we want to wear a certain outfit to - we get frazzled.

We look for recipes. . googling them, looking on Pinterest, saving them to somewhere where we think we will cook them all. . . someday.

We may look up or try to make our own meal plans, making a chart of what we will eat this week.

We look up exercises, and look at the yoga or Pilates group class schedule at our gym in the upcoming weeks.

We do all of those things. . and then life happens. . .someone comes to our house from out of town and we can’t eat what we planned, or we have to go out to dinner, or we go on a business trip and when we come back we fall off the wagon.

All of our good intentions fizzle out (could be after a couple days, a week, or couple weeks).

We feel like we don’t have enough time to search for recipes, cook them, make them.

We DON’T want to order salads when we go out with friends or colleagues - we don’t want to miss out on that cheesesteak or the flavorful Thai curry noodles.

After a productive morning, we just want a coffee and a little chocolate chip cookie as a post-lunch pick me up.

And when we travel, we don’t want to feel restricted - and honestly, there are so many temptations in the airport and while vacationing that it feels almost impossible to be healthy during travel.

So we fizzle out.

The weight stays on, and over time, it can even add on.

It becomes a yo-yo lifestyle, and the weight keeps going up, slightly down, and then sometimes up even more.

THE TRUTH: People who lose 20 pounds or more and keep it off think very differently

People who lose weight and keep it off don’t follow a diet. They know losing weight isn’t about feeling deprived of good, filling food. They cut through the overwhelm of recipes, grocery shopping, meal planning, and then the dreadful clean-up.

When they go to a restaurant, they know exactly what to order, and they feel amazing with every bite that goes into their mouth and feel light as they leave. Many still drink alcohol, but they know how much to drink so they can flawlessly keep losing weight.

When they travel, they know when to indulge in chocolate and wine, and when to say they’re done.

They don’t follow little pieces of advice from magazines saying, “Lose 30 pounds in 30 days!” or “Get your bikini body in 7 days!”

They don’t follow tactics - they’ve just made a series of tiny changes that added up over time.

They don’t rely on willpower to eat healthy, they actually feel full and satisfied with the food they’re eating - and it’s helping them lose weight at the same time.

They know how to approach everyday situations like eating out, back-to-back meetings or appointments all day, and travel so they lose weight happily no matter where they are.

They know the shortcuts to losing weight.

They made tiny changes and they add up to a lifestyle.

They have a framework to think about what to put in their mouths - not 115 recipes they need to grocery shop for and cook.

They lose weight happily, and it stays off.

Why tiny changes help you lose belly fat faster and keep weight off everywhere more than diets

As I lost 40 pounds, it felt simple. And it’s because I never had to follow a certain diet. I never had to cut out major food groups like carbohydrates or fats. I did NOT eat boring grilled chicken and steamed broccoli everyday!

I didn’t track my calories or measure how much food I was eating.

I ate chocolate, pizza, and ice cream throughout my ENTIRE 40-pound weight-loss.

I drank wine. And vodka. And tequila.

I stopped using my willpower.

Here’s How I Did It

Instead, I made tiny shifts to what I was eating. I created a list of foods to eat and not to eat to lose weight quickly.

I focused on my problem areas for a week at a time, and overcame them. Problem areas like late night binging, skipping eating for hours and then scarfing down anything I could find, and eating dessert every single night.

I learned what foods to eat to feel full, and how to combine them so I was satisfied for hours, and wasn’t craving a sugar fix.

I created “flavor enhancers” which included spices and seasonings to make my meals taste delicious without tons of extra calories.

I created guidelines to follow for any situation - when eating out, while traveling, at family events, and at all-day work conferences.

I would walk into any restaurant and know exactly what to ask for on the side, what to omit, and what to replace.

I learned exactly how to modify a meal, even while at a conference where all they served were huge sandwiches and chocolate chip cookies, so that I kept losing weight happily no matter where I was.

I also developed mental mindset scripts to say if people said, “Live a little!” or “Wow you’re picky!” I had the strength to know, even in social situations, to stay true to my weight-loss and the words to make it seem normal, so I didn’t seem like the “picky” one.

I noted the mindset shifts I was making, and how a flat stomach and lean thighs felt possible and in my reach for the first time in my life.

Pretty soon, I had developed hundreds of strategies on losing weight, no matter what event, situation, I was in or what food was in my pantry, fridge or freezer, or what mindset or emotional up and down I was in. I knew what to do no matter what.

I tested these strategies on myself and with hundreds of clients. Slowly, I deleted them one by one if they weren’t absolutely “weight-loss proof.”

Every single remaining strategy was so powerful that anyone that got their hands on them would drop their belly fat and lose weight everywhere else - even if they hadn’t lost weight with ANYTHING else.

I call this the “Tiny Changes Method” because these concepts are so impactful, so different, and so permanent, that once you get hold of them, it transforms your body - your stomach, butt, thighs, and back - from overweight to slim and toned and your body from frumpy and fat to sexy and hot.

The “Tiny Changes Method” gives you the tools and tips to lose weight now and keep it off forever.

You lose weight happily, and keep it off. And it seems effortless.

For example, when I created one of the tiny changes “Split Your Plate” Meal Framework for the exact types of food to have on my plate by meal to feel full and satisfied and not feel deprived - and STILL lose weight - it was a game-changer! My weight literally felt like it started dripping off!

And so did the weight of hundreds of other women.

And that was just one tiny change.

I have over 30 of them.

I have tiny changes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, eating out, traveling, grocery shopping, late-night cravings, and more.

It felt effortless when I lost the 40 pounds and it feels effortless seven years later. And it’s because the tiny changes added up into a lifestyle. . and it felt easy to create.

One by one. And with each one, I lost at least a pound.

Every time I look in the mirror, even after eating pizza and drinking wine and cocktails on the weekend - my stomach is still flat. It’s because I used the tiny changes, “Eating Out and Losing Weight” and the “Alcohol Framework” when I went out.

I use the “Travel and Lose or Maintain Weight” tiny change when I’m vacationing to have a pleasurable vacation while still losing or maintaining weight.

Because my new body is due to my lifestyle - and not a diet - I can feel confident throwing on a bathing suit at the drop of a hat - even in February if I’m going on a Caribbean vacation - when I haven’t just crash dieted or starved myself to get “ready for bathing suit season” like I did before.

I go shopping and no longer feel embarrassed about the way I look. I love looking at how clothes fit in the fitting room!

And if it’s my friend’s birthday, or my son’s or daughter’s - you can bet I’m enjoying the cake! It’s all part of enjoying my lifestyle while knowing which choices will keep my weight down, and sometimes that means enjoying the cake!

See, to follow diets, and rely on willpower, and feel guilty when you can’t follow the rules each and every day is worthless. In fact, many of my students know exactly what to eat, and where to find recipes to prepare it, and even have grocery lists to go shopping for food! But they can’t bring themselves to do it consistently!

Why? Because typical weight-loss advice is overwhelming and deprivational, and require so many changes all at once that are not realistic. You’re expected to go from eating generally healthy to meal-prepping every day, eating tiny salads, and having celery for your snack - while working out for 45 minutes a day. It’s just not practical! You want to live your life without making drastic changes. Within moments of following diets you feel deprived, hungry, and ultimately don’t follow it. And the weight stays on, or worse, adds up.

What if there was an approach that wasn’t so focused on what NOT to eat, and how many minutes to stay on the treadmill, and instead focused on tiny habits to change that would drop the weight AND shift your mindset?

What if this approach taught you foods to ADD to your diet - not take out?

What if this approach taught you how to combine your foods so you always felt full and satisfied, without hours in the kitchen?

What if it gave you a playbook for how to act in social situations that seem impossibly tricky? Like travel, cocktail hours, and eating out with friends or colleagues?

How freeing would you feel if you had a plan for exact snacks to eat each afternoon at 2pm when you get that afternoon slump so you can get more energy without gaining weight?

Have you heard anyone else in the weight-loss industry address the actual daily behaviors you need to get skinnier and STAY skinny? This is what the OTHER weight-loss crazies teach:

- How to cut calories

- Why you should eat boring food

- Why you need track every calorie to see the scale move down

- Why you have to exercise for 45 minutes a day

HERE’S WHY “TINY CHANGES, BIG WEIGHT-LOSS” IS A PERSONALIZED WEIGHT-LOSS PROGRAM AND DIFFERENT THAN ALL THE GENERIC PROGRAMS ON THE MARKET

Here’s what separates this program from other programs - the program is personalized to where you already are today. You’ll make tiny, sustainable changes each week that help you lose weight quickly. You’ll get the biggest “bang for your buck” with tiny changes and big weight loss, starting in the first week.

Together, we will create a plan to make tiny changes each week, seeing weight-loss immediately. I know the most impactful changes to make - no matter how healthy you already are - and I’ll share those with you.

Then, you’ll add to these tiny changes, making more each week. You will be surprised at how easy it will be to create a healthy lifestyle in eight weeks and have a super hot body, effortlessly.

Then, you’ll add to these tiny changes each week, and transform yourself into following healthy lifestyle in eight-weeks and having a super hot body, effortlessly.

After coaching hundreds of clients to lose up to 70 lbs, I know exactly how to jumpstart your weight-loss while creating sustainable habits that keep it coming off for months, and then years.

I’ve created a system that works to lose weight, and it starts based on where you are today, no matter where that is. You lose weight fast, and it keeps coming off.

And it stays off.

Each week, I’ll coach you to make a tiny changes to what you’re eating, and what you’re doing. So, it doesn’t feel like you’re overwhelmed with doing so many things at once. The program is personalized to where YOU are, and where you are starting. It’s not a generic one-size fits all program, where the same rules apply to everyone.

You get personalized advice depending on what changes you need to make first - to see weight loss faster and quicker - and create sustainable habits that will KEEP the weight off.

If your problem area is eating at night, that’s where we will start. We’ll look into WHY you’re eating at night, and you’ll get specific foods to eat that will keep you light and losing weight EVEN IF you eat late at night.

If your weakness is sweets, we will come up with a plan to eat them in moderation, and I’ll share options for healthier sweets (including specific brands and quantities to eat). We’ll uncover WHY you’re craving sweets to often, which will help you to conquer the cravings forever.

If your downfall is overeating, we will talk about portion sizes and uncover WHY you are overeating - which will be a lifetime game-changer.

If you’re already eating healthy, we’ll assess what you’re doing according to the frameworks, and where there are things you can do differently. For example, there may be some foods to add and some to avoid, or some quantities to be mindful of. You may be able to make healthier choices when you eat out.

And if you’re the woman that is ready to make all the changes all at once, you can do that too. I’ll coach you to stay on track and considerations to note.

Either way, you see weight-loss in the first one to two weeks. And it keeps dropping from there, as you continue to make tiny changes each week.

YOU CAN DO THIS.

Here are some of the women that have followed this system and lost more weight than they lost in years, and have now kept it off.

Anjali Lost 40 lbs. and Gained a Positive Relationship with Food

About Anjali: Anjali is an ambitious International Bank VP based in NY and mother of then twin 5-year old girls. Anjali’s weight crept up over the years due to busyness and emotional eating.

How She Lost Weight in Nagina’s program: She decided to join Nagina’s program to get the structure and emotional support she knew she needed to lose weight.

Results: Anjali’s stomach flattened dramatically within 4 weeks and she lost 15 pounds in 3 months by following Nagina’s food lists and frameworks. She transformed her emotional eating patterns and now has a positive relationship with food. Shen went on to lose another 25 lbs, for a total weight loss of 40 lbs!

“My relationship with food has changed immensely. The program actually reshaped my body. For example, my legs are a lot thinner, and I’m not used to thinking of myself as someone with thin legs. In the first month there was obvious flattening of the stomach. It seems to melt away. Working with Nagina was one of the best decisions I’ve made.” - Anjali

Tree Stopped Emotional Eating and Lost 20 Pounds

About Tree: Tree works 12 hours a day in a high-stress Fortune 500 company. She was always petite, but at 44, the pressure of her career and a lack of time lead to her weighing in at the heaviest of her life.

How She Lost Weight With Nagina’s Weight Loss Program: Tree was able to recognize that she was eating emotionally to deal with guilt, disappointment and agitation. She learned how to nourish herself with self-love, and the weight effortlessly fell off!

Tree’s Results: She lost 20 pounds! She fit back into her size 4 jeans in 3 weeks (after 3 years of not fitting into them!) Lost 8 inches from her waist, and flattened her belly WITHOUT going to the gym AND while eating chocolate cake.

"I bought a cute new bikini (I haven’t worn a bikini in public in 5 years!) and can’t wait for summer. I lost these inches WITHOUT working out. Not one damn sit up. No planks, no crunches, no cardio, no nothing!” - Tree

Louise Stomped Out Overeating, Lost 13 Lbs, and Wears Fitted Dresses Now!

About Louise: Louise had a demanding job as a technology consultant, and is married and a mother of two girls.

How She Used Nagina’s Weight Loss Program: She embraced having a structure, which made shopping and cooking so much simpler and less time-consuming.

Results: Louise lost 3 inches from her waist and 13 pounds (after 13 years!) while working with Nagina – WHILE she traveled up to 5 days a week. She loves being able to wear pants that sat in her closet for years because they didn’t fit her!

“When I ate the food on your program, it made me glow and feel much calmer. Physically I can move around a lot faster, which is really important when you have a family.” - Louise

Lindsay Conquered Sugar Cravings, Lost 15 Pounds and It Was All “Very, Very Easy”

Meet Lindsay: She had just completed a long work contract filled with stress and daily donuts in the break room. Lindsay decided she hit her limit and needed to make a lifestyle shift – but she loved sugar so much and didn’t want to feel deprived. She needed an intervention so she could get the weight off.

How She Used The Program: Lindsay learned easy habits like what foods were filling and made her feel good. She was able to uncover her triggers for sugar. She began to uncover exactly WHEN and WHY she was craving sugar.

Results: Yes, she went from 185 pounds to 169 pounds! Not just that – she dropped 6 inches off her waist going from 39 inches to a svelte 33 inches. Incredible!

“I’ve done Weight Watchers before and that’s just a pain with counting points. I’m not someone who’s going to count.

Honestly, I didn’t expect how easy weight loss was going to be in Nagina’s program” – Lindsay

Shereese Lost 13 lbs. and Now She Knows Exactly What To Eat
