Losing weight and body fat – why can it be so difficult?
Losing weight successfully – we know how!
Have you tried just about everything to reduce your body fat percentage but nothing has worked in the long run? Or are you lacking in courage, motivation and energy to finally start losing weight?
We know only too well how difficult it is to achieve this goal without support. That’s why, as long-standing experts in the fields of weight loss, body fat reduction and body toning, we would like to help you achieve your ideal weight with our extensive know-how.
The fairy tale of quick, easy weight loss in your sleep
Let’s be honest. How long did it take you to «achieve» your current (OVER)weight? A few months? A few years? And now you expect it to disappear in just a few weeks? It’s clear that our bodies don’t work that way. Each kilo of body fat represents 7000-7500 kcal of stored energy. Even if you were to maintain a daily energy deficit of 1000 kcal (which we strongly advise against), it would take a week to lose just one kilo of fat. So, it’s obvious: these kilos won’t vanish overnight.
The question of calorie deficit
A calorie deficit that is too large or a diet that is too one-sided (e.g. no carbohydrates) during weight loss can be very stressful for the body. Clear warning signs are, for example, difficulty concentrating, poor sleep, imbalance and a bad mood. These effects are also counterproductive for the desired weight loss. Your body will very quickly have great difficulty in continuing to break down fat. You will also lose a lot of valuable muscle mass. But more on that in a moment.
The truth about diets, weight loss pills, hypnosis, «miracle cures» and other weight loss tips
Have you ever tried losing weight with the help of Paleo, low carb, keto, FDH (eat half), a metabolic «something» or a juice diet? Almost certainly the success was either minimal or short-lived.
When it comes to losing weight, we are regularly presented with new miracle cures for the necessary fat loss. Most of the time, however, it’s just to sell you a new book, a new analysis, a new method for losing weight or products that you don’t need and could even harm you.
What you really need to lose weight healthily and permanently is a personalised, long-term concept that is tailored to your body. All the diet plans, juices, smoothies, lists of foods or weight loss pills that are supposedly good for your body cannot be scientifically proven and are certainly not suitable for everyday use!

Why the kilos tumble at the beginning – and then suddenly nothing works
With many weight loss concepts and diets, you lose weight at the beginning and are motivated to stick to the diet. But what you lose in the first few days is mainly water. Stored carbohydrates, known as glycogen, and muscle mass are also lost!
The loss of glycogen and water is not too tragic. But it is important to realise that it is not primarily body fat that is lost. What is really serious is the loss of muscle mass.
How can I specifically boost fat burning?
Muscle is a tissue that stimulates the metabolism and therefore plays a decisive role in helping you to lose weight successfully in the long term. Targeted strength training and the right amount of protein promote muscle building. Strength training optimised for weight loss is much more effective for burning fat than classic stamina training.
When losing weight, the fat deposits have usually already disappeared before the skin becomes firm again. Targeted strength training promotes the elasticity of the skin. Muscle building prevents the wrinkling of excess skin and also improves the appearance of the body.
«Slimming through sleep alone» is of course a myth! However, sleep, or more precisely the quality of sleep, plays an important role in burning fat. Growth, hunger and satiety hormones are produced during sleep and the HPA (hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis) is regulated.
Belly fat and how to get rid of it
Where the body puts on fat varies from person to person and is determined by both genetics and hormones. Belly fat is often a sign that cortisol levels are too high and therefore that the HPA is out of control. One of the main causes of high cortisol levels is poor blood sugar management.
In recent books and articles, fat tissue is rightly categorised as an organ. This is understandable. Fat tissue is not only a storage medium, but also highly active. This makes it all the more important to get rid of the abdominal fat.
Do abdominal exercises help to get rid of this excess belly fat directly and specifically? The answer is «no». Unfortunately, we cannot influence where the fat is broken down first. However, we can train to reduce the body fat percentage so that the belly fat also disappears – but not immediately.
Lose weight in the thighs, get rid of belly fat or lose fat in the face
It is not possible to target fat deposits in all areas of the body other than the thighs or hips. But your body type can tell us a lot about your stress levels and hormones. By taking your individual physical characteristics into account, we can specifically help you to lose weight faster on your stomach or buttocks.
With the help of our medical expertise and scientific tests such as hormone or blood analyses and stool diagnostics, we optimise the biological processes and metabolism in your body. This ensures that you can lose weight faster!
Lose weight successfully and effectively with strength training and a nutrition plan
In order to lose weight healthily and successfully, humans and their bodies should always be viewed holistically. Our personal training packages include everything you need for this. As a result, you can finally lose weight permanently or get rid of those annoying fat pads on your bum, arms and stomach!
Our holistic approach includes targeted training, nutritional counselling, diagnostics and motivational and mental strategies tailored to you and your needs.
Setting goals, avoiding obstacles, resisting temptations, staying motivated and sprinting to success without detours – that is our motto!
Lose 5, 10 or 20 kilos in a targeted manner

FAQS
What is the best fat burner?
Since human fat burning only occurs due to the interplay of various factors, you should dismiss the myth of the «best fat burner» – it doesn’t exist! In addition to genetic predisposition, your overall diet, metabolism, and individual lifestyle determine your fat burning. Wonder pills or so-called «crash diets» may lead to short-term success, but they always cause a rebound effect (weight gain) after discontinuation and are often harmful to your health.
What is very healthy for weight loss?
If you want to lose weight healthily, you should follow a few basic principles: Avoid highly processed foods, sugar, alcohol, and saturated fats, as these can quickly lead to hunger pangs. Instead, opt for minimally processed, low-calorie, and protein-rich foods in organic quality, which are high in nutrients and satisfying. These include green leafy vegetables (e.g., broccoli, kale, etc.), animal and plant protein sources (chicken breast, fish, eggs, beans, lentils), whole grains, healthy fats (e.g., nuts), and fresh fruits.
What is the best way to lose weight?
The key to maintaining an ideal weight permanently is a healthy lifestyle. This includes not only calorie-conscious and balanced nutrition but also regular physical activity, healthy sleep, and effective stress management. The support of a personal trainer can be beneficial when making lifestyle changes, as they can help you make the right adjustments from the start. A good personal trainer is your constant contact for all questions and problems, provides you with nutrition and training plans, and offers additional motivation and support to improve your perseverance. This enables you to lose weight more quickly and sustainably.
Where do you lose weight first?
Where you lose weight first varies greatly from person to person. Key factors include genetic predisposition, hormones, and metabolism. Unfortunately, you can’t control where your body burns excess fat first. Many people lose weight initially in the abdominal area, while others lose it in the hips and thighs, or the face and neck area. Targeted training of a specific body part cannot speed up fat loss in that area but can only influence muscle development there.
