How Nisha came, saw, and conquered her cravings (And you can too!)
Meet Nisha. She’s a working woman in her early thirties. Her philosophy for leading a healthy lifestyle? No pain, no gain. This is her story.
Let’s rewind to the beginning.
Every day, Nisha would slip into her shoes and set about for her morning run. As she raced around the park, she willed herself to shut out the pain in her knees, urging her legs to make every second count. She couldn’t afford not to.
Nisha’s desk job restricted her motion to little more a lean and a lounge for over eight hours a day. Even as she raced against the clock to complete her projects, she found peace in the promise she had made to herself.
When her hours were done, she would hop into action in her home gym. She would grip the hand bars of her elliptical machine and plant her feet as she pedaled and pedaled. The sensation of blood rushing down to her numbed fingers and toes made her feel twenty years younger. Fighting the fatigue and waves of nausea, she would keep going until she judged herself worn out. Satisfied with her hard work, she would then reward herself with sweets. More than she cared to admit.
No harm done, she would think. It was stressful being a working woman with a full-time job; besides, her physical activities were surely enough to nullify any health issues from this one bad habit. She deserved to indulge, after all, especially when she spent time with her loved ones. She was fine.
But a part of her knew she was lying to herself. It was a quiet voice, but not one that she could ignore any longer. When she found time to pause, she realized that she:
❌ engaged in mindless eating during bouts of stress
❌ had gained weight
❌ felt even more hungry despite already having an increased appetite
❌ found excuses to exercise for a shorter period
❌ experienced frequent lethargy and muscle soreness
All of this in spite of her dedication to the diet plan and exercises she had chosen after days of research. Dozens upon dozens of articles. Hours upon hours of YouTube videos. It felt like sheer foolishness.
She would have to do something about this.
It was at this interlude that Nisha joined TNV Method.
Her no-cost consultation call came as a pleasant surprise; She had imagined that she would be berated for her lack of self-control regarding her diet, or confusion regarding her workouts.
Instead, a coach commended her efforts to lead an active routine, and offered constructive steps to amend them going forward. Perhaps there was hope for her after all. After listening to her walkthrough, the coach told her how the four pillars of TNV Method were compatible with her goals:
🔷 Starting from the ground up, she realized how breaking her personal time into blocks for her productivity and dedication to follow a synchronized sleep cycle could work wonders for restoring her well-being.
🔷 To address the crux of her concerns, nutrition, she learned how applications like TNV Method’s Macro Tracking App could relieve her of countless hours of scrutinizing her grocery list, with algorithms that would help her customize her palate and log her intake. Her coach would curate a customized meal plan to help keep her accountable and offer her suggestions to manage her cravings whenever she needed them.
🔷 She was accustomed to tutorials on exercises that she could watch and practice at her convenience; but expert recommendations tailored to accommodate her physique, medical conditions, lifestyle, and preferences and regular feedback would be a real deal maker.
🔷 Last, but not least, she was apprised of how a guided meditation practice could allow her to let her hair down at the end of a long day and check in with her mental health.
As recommended, Nisha signed up for the TNV NutriMind Program. Featuring the guidance of a clinical dietitian and a health psychologist, she looked towards smashing the following goals as she began her transformation journey:
🔥 Reduce her carb & fat intake while increasing fiber and protein content for satiation. This ensured she felt full whilst being in an energy-deficit.
🔥Consume healthier sweet alternatives to manage her dessert cravings
🔥Learn about macro counting and the know-how of the right caloric intake via half-hour mentoring calls every other week with her TNV Clinical Dietitian.
🔥Communicate her struggles and successes with her mindset coach on a monthly basis
Nisha decided to trust the process. She threw herself into the program, embracing the principles and structure offered by her coaches. She worked on her perfectionism, allowing herself to celebrate small wins and learn to make her peace with bad days.
Encouraged by her queries being answered with empathy rather than judgment, she developed a sincere passion to learn more about the field. If she was going to invest in herself, might as well go all in. She surprised herself by soon coming up with fitness and nutrition strategies to address her own concerns in a matter of months. She was even more surprised when they were gladly approved by her coach.
Having acquired an expert-tailored fitness routine and learning to overcome her sugar cravings with a balanced caloric intake, Nisha dropped 12 pounds in 3 months. Her mindset victory was just as impressive: When she faced setbacks on any of her goals, she learned to take it in her stride with a smile on her face.
Today, Nisha asks her coaches for more challenging goals on her plate for her to quash. She works towards improving her muscle mass and acquiring a leaner body frame. She has dropped 4 sizes and is down to Size 6 from a Size 10. With her level of consistency, she will be on track to meet her expectations any day now.
Her story is one of both desire and determination. She is fortunate enough to have made the timely decision to join a fitness program; and to have coaches who validate her concerns, offering her both the expertise and personal attention she needs on her journey of self-improvement.
Nisha still runs around the park for her morning run.
The difference, of course, is that she does not run because she has to.
It’s because she wants to.
