It’s a common complaint. Years of yo-yo dieting and cutting calories take their toll not just on the body, but certainly on the minds of those who struggle to lose weight. From Weight Watchers to Keto, from the DASH Diet to intermittent fasting—some people have tried just about every diet and instead of success, they experience failure and lose their motivation.
Lifestyle change is the key, says Tami Turnley, Owner and Certified Coach at Ideal Weight Loss Solutions, a standalone ShiftSetGo clinic that has been helping people since 2011.
“I wanted to bring an improved plan into my clinic, one that offers more variety of foods, accelerated coaching tools and techniques, and better technology to provide the most accurate and effective results. This is a more holistic way to lose weight—it helps you shed pounds while preserving your lean muscle mass and achieving a healthier body composition.”
The program combines food, private coaching and special supplements that regulate appetite, boost results from exercise, and reduce sugar cravings. Most clients lose between 2 and 5 pounds per week, and depending on their goals, may be in the weight loss stage for a few weeks or a few months. Of course, success depends on a client’s age, gender, activity level and genetics.
One of the benefits, says Turnley, is that the program removes all the guesswork from dieting, and instead targets body fat so clients can quickly and effectively burn it. Participating in a medically backed program puts clients’ minds at ease and restores their confidence that they can achieve success. An added bonus is that clients can be coached virtually on video calls and can have products shipped to them directly.
Clients eat three ShiftSetGo meals per day along with lean proteins and vegetables. The plan offers more than 70 options, including snacks, shakes, soups and desserts. How about homestyle chicken soup? Or chocolate caramel pudding?
“We’re also mindful of clients who have allergies or are sensitive to certain foods,” Turnley said. “So we offer products that are gluten-free, egg-free, whey-free, and soy-free. We can also adjust the plan to accommodate those with certain health conditions, for instance, nursing mothers or those who are diabetic.”

STAGE 1 – SHIFT YOUR MINDSET
The program is focused on weight loss with long-term results. As a lifestyle change, the solution is most effective when clients continue coaching appointments for ongoing support even after reaching their initial goal. However, the amount of time it takes to complete each stage differs from person to person.
STAGE 2 – SET THE STAGE
This stage is determined by the individual’s goals and objectives. After reaching their goal, clients receive support from their coach, who helps them focus on removing ShiftSetGo meals and replacing them with real, whole foods.
STAGE 3 – GO FOR MAINTENANCE
Clients continue to incorporate more nutrient-dense, whole foods into their diet and are
encouraged to focus on other lifestyle changes, such as increasing daily movement and prioritizing sleep. Clients may continue to support their efforts with ShiftSetGo meals and supplements, but it’s not required.
