Hey, guys. This is Stu from 180 Nutrition and I am delighted to welcome Ann-Maria and Anoop, also known as the weight loss whisperers to the podcast. Guys, how are you both today?

We're doing fantastic. We are in the middle of winter here in Canada. It's cold, but it's good.

Exactly right.

Fantastic. Well, I really appreciate you sharing some of your time. First up, for all of our listeners that may not be familiar with you or your work, I'd love it if you could just tell us a little bit about yourself, please.

For sure, my name is Ann and this is Anoop and we are husband and wife. We are fitness coaches and we basically teach people how to lose weight while eating whatever they want, that's what we do. The reason why we got here and all that dates back to three, four years before when COVID started, everyone was sick.

We are also registered nurses in the ER. We were working in the emergency room at that point in time. We saw a lot of younger population coming through the emergency doors with variety of health issues, especially when we were in the middle of that COVID season. One of the reasons why we started our coaching back then.

One of the other reasons is also just our journeys, personal journeys, which we'll talk about here in a second, but we literally teach people how to lose weight by [inaudible 00:02:48]

Well, it can be so confusing because there are a number of different strategies. If you were to jump on the internet right now, you'd see that some people say it's just all about the calories, that's all it is. Whereas other people say, "No, no, it's more about the quality of the food that you eat." Whereas other people say it's about the timing and maybe a mixture of those two as well.

Maybe there's a personal aspect to it where we need to look at our own physiology in terms of our genetics and our digestive system, et cetera things like that.

That's a great question. I think the reason why most of us or most of us are not able to lose weight and where we fall apart is the part that we go all in when it comes to the diet part. We cut a lot of food, then we go into this binge-eating and then we do a ton of exercise. There is not enough balance, I would say, in what we are trying to do, and that's where most people fall short.

As much as it is true that we need to be in a caloric deficit for us to lose weight, you have to make sure also that your body is ready for it. I don't know how many of you listening this kno
