Caloric deficit for women, lose fat quickly

Summary...

If there’s one nutrition concept you need to start with to successfully lose fat, it’s the caloric deficit. It’s the starting point of your weight loss.

But be careful. There’s no question of doing just anything if you want serious results. A caloric deficit comes with major benefits, but it also comes with risks if it isn’t managed properly. That’s why, first, we suggest going over the fundamentals.

What is a caloric deficit?

A caloric deficit simply means consuming fewer calories than your body needs for normal functioning. You can also call it an energy deficit. And like anything in life, you shouldn’t take it to extremes.

In this article, we’re going to give you the basics you need to follow so you can apply a caloric deficit without harming your health.

What type of caloric deficit should a woman use to lose weight?

There are 3 ways to create a caloric deficit:

  1. A dietary deficit, eating fewer calories than your body needs;
  2. Increase your physical activity, burn more calories through exercise;
  3. The combo, do both at the same time. 

As you can probably guess, the method we recommend for our Champions is the combo.

A few important concepts before starting your caloric deficit

It’s all well and good to know you need to create a dietary deficit, but don’t jump into it blindly. Do your research so you can make sure you’re doing it in a healthy way. Fortunately, we’re here to guide you.

Calorie debt, knowing how many kilos of fat you want to lose

Now that you understand what a caloric deficit is, we’d like us to look at your calorie debt. In other words, figuring out how many kilos of fat you need to lose, and in how many days you’re going to lose all that weight.

To explain this, we’re going to use a simple analogy. Imagine you took out a bank loan to buy your apartment or your house. As annoying as that loan may be, you’re going to have to pay it back.

When it comes to calorie debt, it’s the same thing, except we’ll say you borrowed calories from the universe, and now you’ll have to pay them back to transform your body.

To calculate your calorie debt, you need to know that 1 kilo of body fat contains about 8260 calories. Based on that, you can directly calculate your calorie debt by multiplying the number of kilos of fat you want to lose by 8260.

If, for example, you want to lose 12 kilos of fat: 12 x 8260 = 99120 kcal to pay back.

Before-and-after photos of a woman who lost more than 6 kg in 6 months by maintaining a caloric deficit of about 300 kcal per day to pay back her calorie debt.
To lose 6.6 kg in 6 months, Isabelle therefore paid back a calorie debt of about 54,516 kcal. That number may seem staggering, but remember that it actually comes out to about 300 kcal per day on average.

Unless you’re doing a fasted Ironman every day, you mathematically cannot lose 1 kilo of fat per day... So you’re going to pay back a little bit of that debt each day, just like you would with a mortgage. And it’s OK to sometimes borrow a little money from the bank because something unexpected comes up, like a surprise invitation, a family meal, or a party.

With this approach, you’re going to learn to live within your means.

  • To gain 1 kilo of fat, you need to consume 8260 kcal above your maintenance calories.

  • To lose 1 kilo of fat, you need to consume 8260 kcal below your maintenance calories.

Are muscles heavier than fat?

Another important thing to know is that 1 kilo of muscle takes up less space in your body than 1 kilo of fat.

To illustrate this, we suggest revisiting an image that’s been circulating online.

Unfortunately, the version on the left is pretty far from reality, you need to look at the one on the right.

On average, the density of fat is 0.9 g/ml. And muscle density is 1.1 g/ml. In other words, 1 liter of muscle weighs 1.06 kg, while 1 liter of fat weighs 0.9 kg. Basically, if you fill one bucket with muscle and another with fat using the same volume in liters, the bucket of muscle will be 20% heavier than the one filled with fat.

Why an energy deficit may not work

  • If you eat fewer calories per day but don’t play sports, you’ll lose weight. That weight includes fat, but also muscle! That’s why we want to warn you about this muscle loss. We see this happen after yo-yo diets. They make you lose weight, which means that without training, you inevitably lose muscle mass. Your body becomes flabbier and flabbier, you get out of breath more quickly, yes, you’ve slimmed down, but at the expense of your health! You need some physical activity, even just 10 minutes a day. We wrote an article on the subject that we invite you to read by clicking the link above.
  • If you do more sports but consume more calories, you’re not paying back your debt, so you won’t reach your goals, and you’ll be disappointed. Just like with muscle loss, it’s something neither you nor we want. Basically, just because you work out doesn’t mean you can eat any way you want.
  • If you’re not getting enough sleep and you’re stressed, it won’t wipe out your efforts, but if you sleep little or poorly and live a stressful life, there is a slight negative impact on your muscle growth.

If you consume fewer calories and do strength training exercises, your body will automatically lose body fat and build muscle mass. You’ll feel better in your body, in your own skin, and you’ll have more energy in your daily life.

On that note, we wrote an article about how your body produces endorphins, the happiness hormone, through exercise.

Metabolism, what exactly is it?

Metabolism is the sum of all the chemical reactions that happen in your body so that you can live and carry out your daily activities, like digesting food, breathing, and blood circulation.

Your metabolism is influenced by several factors, including your age, your sex, your height, your weight, your body composition, and your physical activity level. The more muscle mass you have, the higher your metabolism will be, because muscles burn more calories than fat.

A common limiting belief is that your metabolism is fixed. That’s false. As you’ve probably understood from discovering the factors that influence it, it adapts over time and to what your body goes through.

Energy balance, how does it work?

It simply refers to the amount of energy you consume (through food) compared to the amount of energy you expend (through physical activity and basal metabolic rate).

If you consume more energy than you expend, you’ll store that energy as body fat. Conversely, if you expend more energy than you consume, you’ll lose body fat.

So energy balance is an essential tool for understanding how you can reach your weight loss and body transformation goal.

By evaluating your energy balance, you can determine how many calories you need to consume to lose body fat while maintaining muscle mass. This will allow you to plan a personalized nutrition program and an exercise program tailored to your fat loss and body transformation goals.

How to calculate your caloric deficit as a woman

One of the first rules we’d like you to keep in mind is that the more fat you have to lose, the larger your energy deficit can be.

Be careful though, you should never put yourself into starvation mode. You need to avoid starving yourself, or worse, becoming malnourished.

Before anything else, you need to know one number about yourself. It’s your body fat percentage.

Your energy deficit absolutely has to be adapted to who you are today. So we’re asking you not to compare yourself to the women around you. They are not you, and in the same way, you are not them. If you’re already active and have a bit of body fat to lose, that’s not at all the same situation as someone who doesn’t exercise and whose body fat percentage is higher.

When it comes to fat loss, studies on the subject define 5 major groups of women. To help you picture it, we included representative photos of the different body types below. If you’re interested in the topic or need more detail to find your category, you can check out our guide to estimating body fat percentage.

Below 14% body fat, we’re talking about athletes

These are fitness competitors.

Because they have little body fat, their caloric deficit can range between -2.5 and -7.5% of their daily needs. Their weekly weight loss should not exceed 0.5% of their total body weight.

Next come active women with a body fat percentage between 14 and 20 %

Before-and-after caloric deficit woman who lost belly fat
At this body fat percentage, you’ll be able to see the different muscle separations.

They can opt for an energy deficit between 5 and 25%, and they should not lose more than 0.7% of their body weight per week.

The average body fat percentage for women is between 24 and 31%

Before-and-after caloric deficit woman who lost hip fat
Most women feel good, in the lower end of this range, but think they have a few extra kilos (of fat).

The energy deficit should be between 20 and 40% for weight loss that should not exceed 1% each week.

With a body fat percentage between 32 and 38%, you enter the overweight category

Before-and-after caloric deficit overweight 40-year-old woman

At this level, you can go even further with reducing daily calories (30 to 50 %). Weekly weight loss should not exceed 1.5 % of total body weight.

Last category, obesity, above 39% body fat

Before-and-after photo of the caloric deficit of an obese 40-year-old woman
We helped Laëtitia, 45, lose more than 25 kilos of visceral fat.

You should then aim for a caloric deficit of at least 30%. For this category, the goal isn’t simply to lose weight. The challenge is to get below 39% body fat quickly to improve life expectancy, then follow up with an energy deficit suited to someone who is overweight.

The 2 biggest mistakes with a caloric deficit

When trying to lose weight, there are two traps you can easily fall into: wanting to lose weight extremely fast, and cutting back on protein. If we’re drawing your attention to this, it’s because in addition to being harmful to your health, these two mistakes can also have visible unwanted consequences.

Wanting to lose weight too fast!

We know how badly you may want to see results quickly. But that will stop you from truly transforming your body. You risk ending up with loose skin if you have a lot of weight to lose.

We helped Audrey, 35, lose 60 kilos in 16 months, without damaging her body.

Another trap you really need to avoid...

Eating less protein to lose weight

It’s actually the opposite of what you should do. You need to eat protein, and more than usual. It’s thanks to protein that you’ll preserve, or even build, muscle mass.

To keep it simple, we recommend consuming between 1.6 and 1.8 grams per day per kilo of body weight. In reality, it’s a bit more complex than that, but you can learn more in our article explaining how to calculate your optimal protein intake.

If you weigh 70 kg, you’ll need to consume between 112 g  (70 X 1.6) and 126 g per day. If you eat less than what your body needs, your body will have a much harder time building muscle mass.

We mentioned it earlier in the article, but muscle mass burns more calories than fat mass. So even if it seems counterintuitive, eat protein, and enough of it, without going overboard either, there’s no need to live exclusively on steak.

How to track your daily calorie intake to make your caloric deficit work

You may have already tried counting your calories, and found it tedious and impractical.

We understand, but tell yourself that it’s a necessary skill if you want to succeed in your body transformation. If you want to go deeper into the topic, we have an article about counting calories where we share our tips.

To help you make peace with your calories and make the process more fun, there are several calorie tracking apps. We even developed our own app, which we make available to all our Champions.

While you wait to get access to it yourself, you can also use FatSecret. This app is available ​for Android​ ​or iOS (iPhone)​, but also directly ​from your computer​ through your web browser. And in any case, the mobile app and the website are linked, so you can switch from one to the other at any time.

What you need to remember to make your caloric deficit work

  1. You need to combine a caloric deficit with physical activity. Without regular training, you’ll lose muscle mass.
  2. You need to eat enough protein every day to build muscle mass.
  3. Your energy deficit must be adapted to who you are, your starting body fat percentage, and you need to avoid comparing yourself to the women around you.

Be careful not to go to extremes by creating a caloric deficit that’s too large for what your body can handle. That’s harmful to your health in the long term.

3 months that allowed me to rebalance my diet, lose 5 kg without being hungry, and build good strength training habits. With Jérémy’s advice and Gina’s support, I felt well guided and I’m very happy with this experience. I’m going to continue on my own because I think I’ve understood the main principles. I recommend this coaching if you’re ready to build new habits.

Before contacting Jérémy, I was overweight. I was still carrying 10 extra kg after my pregnancies. I had been carrying those kilos for 13 years. I tried all kinds of different diets (chronobio, Dukan...) and none of them worked long-term. Honestly, I was really starting to think it was hopeless.

Then I came across one of Jérémy's videos by chance. I liked his approach and decided to start working with him. Thanks to his method, his advice filled with common sense and kindness, I have now lost 10 kg in 5 months, and I've become more toned and built more muscle! I'm back to the weight I was before my first pregnancy, and what's incredible is that I got there without any real frustration. I'm transforming in a lasting and peaceful way. I'm so grateful for all of this.

Thank you, Jérémy.

After trying several programs to get back in shape, I wasn't getting results and, inevitably, I gave up.

I came across Jérémy's website while doing some research, a bit by chance, and I really liked his approach: no diet, no miracle pill, just a science-based method. Despite my apprehension about starting online coaching, I plucked up the courage to book a call with Jérémy. I still wasn't completely sure, but it was going to be the best decision I could make!

I learned a tremendous amount about nutrition and grew to love strength training. After 1 year of coaching, I'm truly very proud of my journey and of my physical AND mental transformation.

Thank you, Jérémy, and your whole team, for your kindness, for this high-quality support, for all the powerful tools you made available, and for everything you taught me.

Despite having a varied athletic background, I was no longer making progress after a difficult ordeal and the effects of menopause. I started coaching in May 2025, I weighed 59kg, and thanks to your method, I lost 11kg of fat mass in 6 months. I also had more difficult moments, moments of doubt, I even wanted to give up, but I kept going.

I understood that progress is built on strength training, recovery, and listening to your body rather than intense cardio and restriction.

Jérémy taught me to look at my body with kindness, to stop being in constant compensation mode, and to understand that making progress is not about punishing yourself, but about building something sustainable with patience above all, and balance. Jérémy also taught me that in nutrition, everything is about balance, consistency, and trusting the process. That you do not make progress by always trying to do more.

I also appreciate his vision of sport, based on health, balance, progress, and respect for the body.

Thank you for your kindness, your listening, and for helping me become the best version of myself.

A revelation! Jérémy Loreau helped me achieve remarkable weight loss in 3 months while keeping a toned body.

I was aiming to lose 4 kg and I lost 8. His training, along with the daily food log, helped me become aware of the calorie intake of our foods and meals, all based on scientific facts.

The highly individualized strength training helps me maintain my strength, and I don't feel any fatigue. I can keep enjoying my sports activities.

I finally feel free of my insecurities, and thanks to him and his team, who are very present and supportive, I can only recommend him 200%.

Thank you so much for everything and for this clarity that you learn over time. You have to experience it!

I've done many fitness programs, on my own and with coaches who promised support that, in the end, wasn't really there... as well as many diets and nutrition reset plans with dietitians...

This time, I truly found the program that's right for me. Jérémy and his team are very supportive. It's a program that isn't restrictive or exclusionary at all, but it really helps you understand the importance of the nutrition and physical activity combo, and how metabolism works. Of course, it takes a bit of discipline, but in the end, they're just good habits to build and apply.

I'm thrilled with the result, thrilled with the support, they're very responsive and give excellent advice. I'm 45 years old and I recommend it!

Of course, premium coaching may seem costly at first, but it's a lasting and worthwhile investment, the goal really is to help you become independent quickly.

Among the many online fitness coaches out there, Jérémy Loreau is a true professional who knows his craft inside and out and knows how to support his clients. Kind, attentive, and focused on the goal each person sets for themselves. Never judgmental, and never guilt-inducing, because he knows the process has to be realistic and sustainable. A very positive experience that truly paid off. A huge THANK YOU to him.

It was the impact of menopause on my weight and on my mental health that pushed me to start coaching with Jérémy.

It’s been 2 years now, and I feel better than ever in my body. I’ve achieved results I never thought were possible, and Jérémy’s coaching has fundamentally changed the way I eat.

I’ve lost 10 kgs and I’ve never been hungry. I’m more muscular than I was at 30 and in great shape. But above all, I’ve embraced the power of small steps, of those habits that, repeated every day, make it possible to achieve remarkable results.

Jérémy adapts and offers us tailored exercises, updating them with a more difficult version so we can keep progressing, always with enjoyment. He teaches us to let go of guilt when we make exceptions, because it doesn’t change the trajectory. He is surrounded by a professional and friendly team, just like him. And he has built a supportive community that is truly a pleasure to be part of. You see incredible transformations there!

My decision to get support from him was one of the best I’ve made in recent years. It’s worth accepting the investment in yourself, you discover potential you never knew you had, and you come out stronger both physically and mentally. Thank you again, Jérémy!

Gina is a sensitive, kind, available, and professional coach, just like Jeremy. As for the "concrete" results, I lost 10 kg in about 5 to 6 months with the program despite menopause, hypothyroidism (Hashimoto's) that wasn't really stabilized, and suspected lipedema. I managed to start enjoying being active, even though I thought I was completely at odds with any form of sport. My relationship with food changed too, less emotional and more mindful. Signing up for this program was one of the best decisions of my life.

10 months ago, I joined Jérémy's program feeling deeply exhausted, both physically and mentally, with the sense that I'd tried everything without ever being able to stick with it over time.

Living with moderate obesity, I tried different methods, diets, fasting, and even electrostimulation, but I always ended up giving up, with more frustration, more guilt, and extra weight gained.

The real wake-up call came when I was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea: my weight gain was no longer just about my appearance or my self-esteem, but also about my health.

With Jérémy, I learned that I could make progress without being perfect, that a transformation journey is not linear, that some periods can be difficult, and that I can slow down or slip up sometimes, without questioning everything.

Today, after 10 months, I've lost 13 kilos: I'm fitting into clothes I couldn't wear anymore, I feel physically stronger, and my workouts are more consistent. A tendonitis I'd been dealing with in my knee has also eased up. :)

The biggest change is this: my relationship with myself and with food. I think I feel more at peace. I accept more difficult moments without feeling guilty, then I refocus on the goal. With Jérémy, I'm building a life balance I can sustain over time.

Over the months, Jérémy has taken a deeply human, kind, and realistic approach: he supports me without judgment, without pressure, while taking my constraints and real life into account, with all its ups and downs. He taught me that I don't have to be perfect, and to accept myself as I am.

Jérémy, I sincerely want to thank you for your support, your listening ear, and all the positive energy you share through the Tribe.

Hello, I'm 52 years old, and I had been struggling for more than 5 years trying to lose weight. I was exhausting myself doing cardio, Pilates, basically trying a bit of everything, and when it came to food, I thought I was eating well.

Nothing worked, neither my weight nor my shape was changing.

I was starting to tell myself that it was simply too late, that menopause would stop me from getting my old body back, until the day I became interested in Jérémy's profile on social media and took the leap. I booked a phone call with him, and on April 2, 2026, we became a team even though we were thousands of miles apart. I immediately got access to his website, which is a true goldmine of information for relearning how to eat and unlearning all the common misconceptions.

I finally understood my mistakes and changed my habits, and within the very first weeks, my body started to change. The strength training programs are clear and adapt to your schedule, no more endless cardio. He is always very available, encouraging, and adapts our program based on our progress.

Having a coach for both training and nutrition really changes everything.

I highly recommend him to anyone who is fed up with yo-yo dieting, fed up with making efforts for nothing, because his method really works.

A difference of about 10 kg (weight loss) and a more toned physique.

Not everything was perfect. Sometimes, I didn’t follow the program, and Jérémy helped me let go of the guilt. Those moments are part of the process, what matters is doing your best and sticking with it. Sometimes, I felt like it was pointless, then I looked at the results. I was proud of myself. Other times, I was extremely consistent and it was absolutely on fire.

Before Jérémy, my body was a real obstacle and I didn’t understand why my weight was going up even though “I wasn’t eating that badly.”

After Jérémy, I understood: eating healthy is not the same as fat loss. There are so many factors to take into account, and I learned them by his side.

The real wake-up call? Physically, I was a little chubby, but my fat is distributed fairly well. To me, I wasn’t at the stage of the disease that is obesity. So I thought I was fine. Going through this transformation was just a way to accept my image in the eyes of others.

Then, as I worked with Jérémy, I understood: fat loss, in my case, is a matter of health, not just aesthetics. My goal changed, and so did my mindset. Being able to make informed choices is priceless.

Thank you for everything.

Looking for a fitness and nutrition coach for women, I came across Jérémy’s website a bit by chance, and I read it from top to bottom. Won over by Jérémy’s information and approach, I decided to go for it.

Here is my feedback on the experience...

As soon as I signed up, I got access to an extremely well-designed website packed with high-quality information. Already having quite a bit of knowledge about fitness and nutrition, I can assure you that both the quality of the information and the amount of information provided are truly impressive.

Nothing is left to chance. You understand everything, absolutely everything. You know how and why you're doing things, it's truly incredible to have so much information of such high quality.

On top of that, Jérémy’s follow-up is incredibly high quality, your training program is tailored to you and your body type, nothing is left to chance. We are in contact with him whenever we want, and he answers all our questions. The follow-up is simply incredible. For me, his coaching truly adapts to you and your personal needs, we are not just a number among many others.

As for me, I’ve already lost a pants size, so yes, it works! But beyond the aesthetic aspect, there is also an inner transformation happening... regained self-confidence, etc.

And the little cherry on top, you join a supportive community that regularly shares its doubts, its successes, and its little life moments.

I can only recommend Jeremy as a coach. You can go for it with your eyes closed. A huge THANK YOU to the team for everything they do every day.

The best decision I made in 2025, and probably in the last 5 years, was starting coaching with Jérémy Loreau.

32 kg gone in 10 months, without medication, miracle products, or surgery.

An intelligent method, a strong community, help when needed, and the method that got me exercising again at 54, with two damaged knees and a tired heart, is perfectly suited to me. I work out at home, with 3 sessions using simple equipment, and I can see the progress, without getting out of breath or bored.

My life has meaning again, and I have my energy back.

Exceptional coaching that changed my view of training and well-being. At 54, I finally found a method that works for the long term. Thanks to Jérémy Loreau's advice, I regained incredible energy and a toned physique (going down several clothing sizes in just a few months).

The program is very comprehensive: the workouts are adapted to my level, and the nutrition side is the key to my success. Jérémy is incredibly supportive, very responsive, and knows how to adapt the coaching in case of physical difficulty so I can stay consistent.

You never feel alone thanks to the serious individualized follow-up and the conversations. It's tailored coaching, human and very structured. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to take their life back into their own hands with kindness and effectiveness!

15 months of coaching with Jérémy and Gina, 13 kg down, a reshaped figure, solid nutrition and training habits thanks to an excellent course on nutrition and training, and incredibly present, responsive, and caring coaches who support you every day.

Feeling a bit low? They’re there, they boost you back up. An injury, any kind of pain? They’re there, they adapt your training and everything keeps moving smoothly.

It’s the most effective and highest-performing coaching I know, with amazing results. Most importantly, you eat well, I was never hungry. Thank you so much for everything.

I've been coached by Jérémy since January, and it's just incredible. The results I've achieved in less than 3 months are unbelievable to me.

For several years, I couldn't lose weight or transform my body, and despite my efforts, the pounds kept piling on.

Now I've finally broken that vicious cycle and reached a weight I didn't even dare hope for. On top of that, I learned how to build sports routines that do me a lot of good mentally and don't require too much time or too much pain in the effort. I am sincerely delighted with my program with Jérémy.

With him, the difference is that the program is personalized and targeted. It changes everything. I recommend him.

Try it, you don't have much to lose, tell yourself this is the last program you'll try.

Thanks again, Jérémy.

Very happy I made the decision to contact Jérémy! I had several weight loss experiences in the past, starving myself and doing cardio. Nothing sustainable.

Having been coached by Jérémy for two months, I'm discovering strength training and really enjoying it. I'm eating fewer calories but without any feeling of deprivation. I don't forbid myself any foods and feel no guilt. My body is changing gradually so it can last.

Thank you to Jérémy and the whole team for this high-quality support. I've been given all the keys to transform my lifestyle habits. Thank you for the kindness! It's probably what makes it possible to move forward step by step.

I'm excited to see what the next few months have in store for me!

A wonderful tailored experience and a transformation that went beyond my expectations! I lost almost 10 kilos in 6/7 months without ever feeling like I was making a huge effort.

No frustration, no forbidden foods (yes, yes, fries, raclette, etc., are absolutely allowed), I "just" learned how to properly manage my own energy budgets, calorie intake but also calorie expenditure (no more taking the car for every little thing!), based on my age, lifestyle, and body type.

The training provided is outstanding, and the Championnes community is incredibly freeing and guilt-relieving, always in a good mood. And Gina, my coach, supported me like a princess, always listening, patient, and taking great care of me... A gem ;-)

I gained confidence in my body, and today I feel much more independent when it comes to managing my weight and my health.

Unlike weight-loss programs based on meal boxes (commejaime, etc.), Jérémy makes sure you no longer need him, and in my opinion that's even more important than the number on the scale. Without a doubt, the best investment I've ever made for myself and my health!

Jérémy... what an incredible encounter! Much more than a coach, he is a mentor, a guide toward well-being and fulfillment. His passion is contagious, he doesn't just support us, he transforms us, pushing us to become the best version of ourselves.

Always looking for new methods to help us, he combines expertise and humanity with a unique approach. Thanks to him, I changed the way I see diets... and I changed my life.
Today, I feel strong, balanced, and free. I eat healthy, I enjoy myself, and I understood that it's all about harmony. Training is now a source of joy, a pillar of my daily life. What a joy it is to feel great and wear whatever you want, without constraints or guilt!

Thank you, Jérémy, for your dedication, your kindness, your patience, your humility, and your professionalism. You are not just a coach, you are a catalyst for change, an inspiration to everyone who crosses your path.

Since August 2024, I’ve been coached by Jérémy Loreau, and it has been a real revelation. Before meeting him, I spent two years stuck despite the help of nutritionists and other fitness coaches. I was even told that as I was approaching 40, I had to accept it: my body would never change again.

Jérémy proved otherwise. By following his advice and his method, I finally saw real results where everyone else had failed.

The journey isn’t always linear: I had moments of doubt, periods when my weight stalled, or when I struggled to see my own progress in the mirror. But Jérémy was always there to explain how the body and nutrition work. Understanding what you’re doing changes your whole approach.

Today, my physical goal is within sight, but it’s my mindset that has changed the most. I regained my confidence. I no longer let the numbers get me down. I’ve become positive, and I don’t give up anymore.

If you think it’s “too late” or that you’ve tried everything, trust Jérémy. He doesn’t just give you a program, he teaches you how to succeed.

Finally, a truly personalized program! As for me, I was supported by Gina, an incredibly responsive coach with XXL kindness and warmth, who always tries to find tips, advice, or encouraging words! She went through exactly the same stages, felt the same doubts, celebrated the same small and big victories, and her experience is invaluable. She explains everything gently to help each person make progress.The "training" is very informative but also very accessible, in fact, you need to go back to the basics and take your time to absorb the essential concepts, and Jérémy and Gina are constantly there whenever questions come up. 2 words are now rooted in my life: ROUTINE and PATIENCE because they are the keys to succeeding with this program. That's why it's 5 stars!

I chose to start coaching after gradual weight gain that was worrying me. Despite that, the professionals I saw did not take me seriously, since my BMI was considered "normal." I was often told that "after 40, that's completely common." And yet, deep down, I knew something was wrong. I'm one of those people who prefer to listen to their own feelings rather than blindly trust conventional narratives.

That is where Jérémy made all the difference. He was the only one who truly listened to me, understood what I was going through, and supported me without judgment. He knew how to adapt his coaching to my needs, taking my physical limitations into account, especially those related to a herniated disc.

Thanks to him, I discovered that a so-called "healthy" diet is not necessarily a diet that is right for you. I learned to better understand my nutritional intake, not through restriction, but in order to nourish my body in a more accurate and balanced way.

I also got back into training with enjoyment, through personalized workouts that respect my pace and help me make progress without pain.

Today, Jérémy is part of my daily life. His advice and his words help me stay the course, remain kind to myself, and recenter after a slipup or an unexpected event, without guilt.

I clearly understood that what matters most is not a number on the scale, but the sense of well-being you feel every day: more energy, more confidence, more harmony. Taking care of yourself is a journey, not a destination, and every step counts.

Thank you so much, Jérémy, for your precious support, your patience, and your presence. I am deeply grateful to you.

I had never worked with a coach before reaching out to Jérémy, 6 months ago, after two back-to-back pregnancies, a lot of weight gained and then lost very quickly, but with major muscle loss, and along with that my self-esteem, my confidence, my physical reflection, and my judgment of this body, which was obviously only bringing to light a deeper inner unhappiness that had settled in and surely intensified over the years, a kind of abandonment of myself. One morning, crying as I looked at myself, that was the wake-up moment. I searched online for "best sports coach comparison", I saw Jérémy Loreau, and intuition made me choose... I immediately visited his website and then.... the before-and-after photos, come on, I took my chance, I went for it. He opened his heart to me, and I really do mean heart, because he is someone who will give to you until you know how to find your way again by yourself. Putting into words what has happened inside me since I started this journey feels impossible, it's so deep, and every day I keep discovering a little more about myself, about true self-love, the kind that does not judge, that observes with complete neutrality and carries us toward the freedom to Be. I am talking here about an inner transformation more than a physical one. Here is a glimpse of what coaching with Jérémy can bring you, the opportunity to look deep within yourself, and to strengthen or rebuild your foundations, in short, to give birth to a new version of yourself, stronger than ever, with the tools to be autonomous FOR LIFE.

I dreamed of it, and Jérémy made it happen!

How can I describe the incredible life-changing experience of meeting Jérémy, a coach who is educational, kind, and always listening?
The ideal coach, really!

I’ve never exactly been naturally slim, but I have to admit I really went off track in recent years, gaining 20 kg in 5 years without managing to turn things around.
Despite my various attempts, cardio, diet support, EMS electrostimulation classes, and even "good resolutions", none of them worked.
So in the end, I had more or less resigned myself and accepted it: it was too late to change, and I would just live with the consequences of letting myself go for the rest of my life, dissatisfied...

Then, this summer, came the wake-up moment: I couldn’t keep up with my sons and my husband or fully enjoy family activities.
Determined to change the course of things and stop suffering through it without reacting, I clearly identified what I needed: support from someone able to help me both nutritionally and physically.

So I typed "sports and nutrition coach" into my browser’s search bar and happened to come across Jérémy’s website, which both intrigued and captivated me.
The transformations shown felt almost unreal to me, real or fake?
After some hesitation, I finally took the leap and clicked "APPLY" to schedule my intro video call.
And I’m really glad I did!

Today, almost 2 months later, I can now say that applying was the best decision I’ve made to take care of myself and my health for the rest of my life.

Far from cookie-cutter programs and conventional wisdom that people follow without thinking, Jérémy’s coaching is serious, supportive guidance that puts the emphasis on learning day after day, the program starts with educational sessions/videos covering the basics of nutrition and physiology, and where you become the driver of your physical transformation, but also your mental transformation.

Understanding what you’re doing and why you’re doing it gives meaning to the process and helps you move forward with peace of mind.

Little by little, it all adds up!
You don’t need to be a high-level athlete or an amazing cook.
It’s possible to start humbly, to avoid getting discouraged by unreachable goals, and then improve a little every day.
Jérémy adapts to each woman’s goals and constraints without ever judging.
He’s an amazing coach, always full of good advice, who guides each woman at her own pace toward the best version of herself.
His teaching style, his support, and his ultra-complete dedicated app combining nutrition tracking, workouts, measurable progress, but also visual progress, evaluation photos, are the keys to success.
I’ve come farther in 2 months than in several years of effort without lasting results.

A huge thank you to you, Jérémy, for helping me regain confidence in myself, for helping me understand that nothing is ever truly lost, and that through learning, consistency in imperfection, and tailored, supportive guidance, with a great coach and his team, it’s possible to become "1% better every day" by taking charge of your well-being and your health, today and for the future!

I reached out to Jérémy after gaining weight following a thyroidectomy, combined with the onset of menopause. I was stuck in limiting beliefs, convinced, after reading many testimonials from women in my situation, that it was almost impossible to lose weight after that kind of surgery and with menopause.

I felt uncomfortable in my body and unable to seriously take control again. Thanks to Jérémy, I learned how to use the app intelligently and manage my calories and macros day to day. I realized just how much of a calorie surplus I was in without even noticing it. I wasn’t eating that much, and yet my little handfuls of hazelnuts were ruining all my efforts.

Today, I enjoy going to the gym to build muscle and seeing the results come in. Jérémy is a motivating, kind coach who is always there to support and encourage. In barely one month, I’ve already lost 4 kilos! I feel so much better, fitter, and motivated to go all the way and get back to a body I feel good in.

A huge thank you to you, Jérémy, for your support and your energy!
