“…As appealing as the results are, there is no guarantee that all individuals achieve real weight loss. According to the literature, factors that may impair individuals’ ability to achieve their goals are limited knowledge about correct food ingestion and how to implement food habits [ 35 ] as well as a lack of consistency throughout the whole weight loss process [ 36 ] and motivation [ 37 ] to follow the orientation, especially avoiding attitudes opposite to the diet recommendations proposed [ 37 , 38 , 39 ].…”

“…In order to promote success in weight loss associated with food orientation, it was reported that health coach assistance could represent the cornerstone to achieving real weight loss [ 39 , 40 , 41 ].

Background: Investigate the effectiveness of the scientific 4 Phases Method, a methodology developed by EMAGRECENTRO, which is based on a ketogenic approach (total carbohydrate intake <40 g/day; including fibers) associated with health coach assistance, in promoting reductions in body weight, body mass index (BMI), and waist circumference after 5 weeks of methodology application. Methods: Record files from 354 individuals, both sexes, aged between 18 and 67, who took part in the 4 Phases Method were used to develop this study. Age, sex, weight, height, BMI, waist circumference measurement, and the presence of ketone bodies in the urine were evaluated before (baseline) and after 5 weeks of the 4 Phases application. Results: In general, a significant reduction in body weight (−7.8 ± 1.2 kg, p < 0.0001), BMI (−2.8 ± 0.4 kg/m2, p < 0.0001), and waist circumference measurement (−7.6 ± 0.4 cm, p < 0.0001) was found after the application of the 4 Phases Method, regardless of age, gender, and BMI. Conclusions: Taken together, our results demonstrated that the 4 Phases Method was able to promote significant body weight, BMI, and waist circumference reductions in the short term, particularly by associating a ketogenic intake strategy with a regular close follow-up weekly consultation with a health coach assistance.
