Reaching Your Goals- 

Three Pillars Method and FAQ'

 As an affiliated Three Pillars Method coach, I use a bottom-up approach that starts with your current habits and focuses on adding in ingredients, not cutting things out. This helps boost micronutrient intake and macronutrients while the framework provides a practical way to approach calorie control without the overwhelm. 

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ..........

How long would it take to work through the different stages of change

MOVE SLOW TO GO FAST- Each of the stages of the programmed content typically spans 4 to 6 weeks. It's a realistic diet formula with sensible, manageable changes. Rapid changes or unrealistic rules often lead to short-lived success before reverting to old habits and results. I recognise individual starting points and progress varies so can tailor the approach accordingly. 

Do I have to follow a specific menu plan?- I intermittent fast/ only eat Paleo/ vegan/ grab and go meals ————(you fill in the blank)

START WHERE YOU ARE- No there’s no meal plan, list of foods to eliminate, schedule for eating, or recipes to follow. The aim is to add to what you find works for you in terms of your food preferences and style of eating.

Are the consultations face to face?

CONNECTION IS KEY -They can be , I work from a number of clinics on different days. If the times available there don’t suit we can hold the consultation via Zoom.  

I hate cooking/ travel alot with work / work shifts is this going to be more difficult for me.

DIFFICULT PATHS LEAD TO BEAUTIFUL DESTINATIONS -It shouldn’t be as you essentially are adding to what you already do.  People have successfully improved their diet quality by incorporating restaurant and grab-and-go options. 

What is a weekly food diary review?

YOU CAN'T MOVE WHAT YOU DON'T MEASURE - Each week you will have the opportunity to share your weekly food diary review and you will receive feedback on this at a level dependent on your coaching package.  The feedback will provide you with suggestions for the next week based on any challenges you are experiencing and the goals we have agreed on.. 

is there any additional support available such as an interactive group with others on the packages

COMMUNITY IS STRENGTH -Within the Group Coaching packages you start with a group of others at similar stages for collaborative learning. You can also organise family, friends, or work colleagues into a separate group to progress through the stages together if you prefer.

Does the weekly food diary have to be done via an app?

LESS IS MORE - At the beginning its helpful to take a step back and only record certain aspects as you begin to build on achievable steps for change. There will become a time when those foundational steps are embedded to start looking at things in more detail. For that aspect I use the Three Pillars Method app.  It has the option for sharing and categorising entries in accordance with the framework I use. 

What if I’m not sure on something, you say unlimited access how does this work?

I use WhatsApp for simplicity, message me with any questions about working through your planned outline and strive to respond within 24 hours during my working hours. 

Why is there a 3 month minimum commitment?

IN IT FOR THE LONG TERM - We request a 3-month commitment for substantial and realistic results, as meaningful changes take time.  This approach focuses on long-term results, not quick fixes. The way I work is to equip you with the tools that will give you sustainable and lasting results. Payment plans are available.

Do I have to record food entries?

WHAT GETS MEASURED GETS MANAGED -Each stage includes a measurable standard for accountability. You'll track specific aspects over the 3 stages, with methods tailored to your preference. Honesty is key; there's no judgment. Clear measurements at the start enhance the accuracy of our change planning.
