Discover how to lose weight and live your best life
without diet deprivation and complicated food plans
If you’re a woman over 40 who is struggling to lose weight, then chances are you already know that you need to do something different.
Whether you’ve lost and regained the same pounds over and over; or you've just recently started to struggle with the middle age spread you will likely know it's not just about what to eat.
Often we know what we should, and should not eat to lose weight, we just don’t do it. And the reason is because our brains and bodies have evolved to seek out and consume food, especially tasty food. We’re programmed to eat food for survival and our brain thinks the tastier the food, the more important it must be.
HERE'S WHAT YOU
MIGHT NOT KNOW
You can totally:
-
Reduce your hunger for food
When your hormones are out of whack, you are very inefficient at using your own body fat reserves for energy. And when your body cannot access its own internal food store it tells your brain that you’re hungry and need to eat more. Fortunately, it’s totally possible to restore hormonal balance. -
Lessen your desire for food
You over desire some foods because your brain thinks they are important for your survival. Your brain thinks the tastier the food the better it is for you. This is why you may crave foods that contain refined sugars and carbohydrates. -
Stop eating to feel better
We humans are pretty poor at feeling our emotions. We tend to eat when we’re bored, we eat when we want comfort, we eat to reward ourselves, and we might also eat when we are stressed or frustrated. But we can totally learn how to stop seeking out food as a way to feel better and instead learn how to feel better through feeling your feelings and mindset work. -
Love your life without using food for pleasure
Often times food has an overly important significance in our life because we aren’t getting enough pleasure and joy elsewhere. Re-addressing this balance is key.
You feel as though you would to do anything to lose weight for good, but at the same time, it feels impossible to stick to a diet, to simply eat less, or just eat what you know you should.
The 3 Reasons Why Most People Never Find Food Freedom
Reason #1
They don’t believe anything will work because they’ve tried and failed so many times
Looking to your past for evidence that you can do something new or different will keep you stuck and unable to move forward
Sometimes you have to be willing to take a leap of faith
Reason #2
They don’t think they have the time, or that it won’t work in their life because they have to feed a family, or they travel with work lots, or some other reason
These circumstances have no bearing on the work that you can do to learn how to manage your body, brain and emotions, to discover how to eat right for you
Reason #3
They try to use will power to resist eating, and then give in and start to blame themselves, or think that there’s something wrong with them
You can’t hate yourself thin and have freedom around food. You need to have love and compassion for yourself always

Frequently Asked Questions
What people asked before signing up for Lose Weight. Live Life. with Clair MacKenzie
Let me tell you they are worlds apart. 80% of the work that we do together will be addressing the reason why you are overweight in the first place, and the remaining 20% will be about discovering what foods you want to eat, and how you want to eat them for life! Dieting to solve for being overweight is like putting cream on rash without bothering to find out what caused it. The work that you will do with me is going to be life changing. Not only will I teach you how to lose weight for ever, we’re also going to do some amazing life coaching so that you love your life so much that food will have significantly reduced importance for you.
You totally get to choose how much time you spend on doing this work, but I recommend you commit to a minimum of 15 minutes per day, in addition to your weekly coaching call. If you are concerned that finding time will be challenging to you, let me know, and we can work out how best to address that on one of your coaching calls.
Absolutely. Many women with PCOS, thyroid problems and other hormone related health problems that find it difficult to lose weight have had success on this program.
The two key reasons for this are:
- I work with you to help you discover the right way of eating for you and your body
- I help you manage your mind so that you make progress at the pace that is right for you and overcome any obstacles your body throws at you
Every single one of us is different. Our bodies dietary requirements naturally change throughout our lives and are impacted by our environment. This is why I work with you to design the right way of eating for you, continually assessing you are losing weight and how you feel throughout the program.
When diets don’t work it’s not because of the diet and it’s not because there’s something wrong with you. It’s because your lower brain is working very efficiently at doing what it’s programmed to do (seek pleasure, expend minimum energy and avoid pain). Learning how to override this programming is the key to success and that is what we are going to be working on together.
There is no better time to do this work than when you are facing a challenging time in life. Taking care of ‘you’ will give you the strength to deal with everything else. And, the mind management work that we apply to food and eating can also be applied to other areas of your life. You can use the same skills to help you manage a difficult situation at work, your relationship with your Mother, or your crazy hectic schedule. You can also bring any problem to your coaching calls for us to work through together.
I’m not going to tell you what to eat. You’re going to tell me what you like to eat, and we will create a program for you based on your likes, dislikes, and what feels right for your body. I will of course offer suggestions if you want them.
Absolutely. See answer above.
You get to choose the coaching session day and time that works best for you when you sign up.
There is limited availability so the sooner you sign up the greater your choice.
The day/time that you choose will be held for you for the duration of the program.
You will be able to reschedule coaching sessions that you cannot make, if you have conflicts or are on holiday, as long as you give advanced notice.

"Clair really took on a difficult case when she agreed to work with me. I was so resistant and stubborn to everything. I'd had so many years of negativity surrounding food and getting healthy. But she is so wise and calm and she really listened to what I needed and how I felt about everything. For every objection I raised Clair had a simple solution. I was able to take on her suggestions and slowly I realised that by making tiny changes a great deal could be achieved. Clair works in a very eclectic way. She works with the whole person: mind, body and soul, and draws on a whole range of tools, lots of which I'm still using and finding helpful."

"Clair is the most amazing coach. I was able to easily build a rapport with her which made it easy for me to open up and be honest. Clair was great at reassuring me that what I was feeling was normal and gave me timely tips on how to overcome the obstacles I faced. What is great about Clair is that she believes in teaches the people she coaches the techniques she uses which means that you are all tooled up to self-coach in future. With Clair's help I have completely changed my mindset and feel very proud of what I have achieved. I cannot recommend Clair highly enough."
