When I met with Gaëlle and she told me about her approach, I was doubting that it could really make a difference in my everyday life. I've been through nutrition coaching about 20 years ago and I thought I knew everything already about food and impact on health.
I decided however to start the coaching as I was also aware of some improvements that could have been done from my side. I've always been very strict on my nutrition over the past years, banning fat, sugar and calories from my plate while I could only see I was not always in good shape and controlling my health. But since I had a clear objective of not gaining weight (it took me many years to lose it when I was younger), I accepted it.
I started the coaching just before summer, first by understanding some main ideas and also discovering the recent studies and research that have been done. A lot of things that I took for granted were actually challenged and there is a whole new world about how to stay fit and strong, without damaging your health. I've started to gradually implement these new things in my life and after a couple of weeks I could already measure the impact. Firstly on the quality of my sleep, I was literally falling asleep earlier but also waking up earlier with a feeling of a great night and full of energy. My face was also different, less "puffy" and much more "open" .
The other immediate impact was the pleasure discovering new food, adding more flavor, more taste and sharing it with my family. No more eating alone in a corner with a little green salad while kids are having a proper meal around. And lastly I did not have any negative effect on my weight : it remained the same but my body definitely changed, more athletic and feminine than before.
The whole process took me a little bit more than 3 months with Gaelle, always very open to listen and accept the baby steps and mistakes I was making while providing efficient guidance and support.
