When Paying for Coaching Makes Sense
If you have struggled with consistency, have a short window or need food guidance, a coach can save time and money by avoiding mistakes. Compare the cost with what you would lose from a plan that does not work.
Keep it simple, do it together and adjust for each person. If either of you has a health condition, speak to your doctor first.
