Over the past 40 years, the number of overweight people worldwide has almost doubled, according to research by the World Health Organization WHO. It is therefore not surprising that so many people try their best to lose weight. However, it turns out not to be that simple. In this blog Danny Kors, head nutrition coach Happy Bodies Lifestyle Clubs, shares his view on nutrition and weight loss.
Personalized nutrition plan
In the previous blog, Frank already talked about the smart nutrition app that we work with at Happy Bodies. With that app, in combination with our knowledge about nutrition, we can help people with a personalized nutrition plan. This way we can not only advise them about the number of calories and the number of eating moments, but also about making healthier choices.

Because in many cases that is where the crux lies, with those healthier choices. People often think they eat healthy, but when we zoom in on what exactly that is, I see it differently. My view on nutrition is different from the 'standard' dietitian anyway. I look much more at nature, how nature intended how we treat our food. In addition to my Sports and Exercise course, I have completed a coaching course at OERsterk. The OERstrong concept for optimal health is based on three pillars: relaxation, nutrition and exercise. With nature as a starting point. We are getting further and further away from nature and that is one of the main reasons why we experience more and more health problems. An unhealthy weight is one of them.
Healthy weight loss is about feeding well and not filling
Many people who want to lose weight and who enthusiastically start working out see proteins as very important. They will then eat a lot of cottage cheese, yogurt and other dairy products. Strange really, if you consider that we are the only mammal that still consumes dairy products in adulthood. Of course you need proteins, but they are also found in fruit and green leafy vegetables. Nature arranges that very well for us. Moreover, glucose is an even more important fuel for your muscles. Glucose is mainly found in fruit. In addition, it is important that we eat products that contain valuable nutrients, such as vitamins, minerals and fiber. Many products today – such as white bread and white pasta – contain empty calories. Your body can't do much with that. Healthy weight loss is about feeding well and not filling. By eating a lot of fruit and healthy products such as salads and zucchini spaghetti, and also exercising regularly and relaxing, you change your lifestyle in a positive way.
Eat a lot, still lose weight
Losing weight has nothing to do with being hungry. After all, your body needs fuel. By eating as many unprocessed products as possible, you lose weight faster. People we help lose weight often say: 'I have to eat a lot. Still I'm losing weight!' That's how it works if you feed your body well instead of filling it. With the nutrition program that we offer as Happy Bodies, I can completely lose my creativity. To date, twenty people have completed the first eight-week program and no less than ninety percent have achieved good results. People lose up to a kilo a week. That's the great thing about such a tailor-made program: the Milon circle that is completely tailored to your body and the VYTAL nutrition app with a personalized nutrition plan.
