During the sign-up process, you schedule YoCoach calls—then we call when your willpower is MIA. You can change your call schedule at any time, real time, on the website. The coaches will call you within ten minutes of your requested call time. On the pre-recorded calls, the coaches will ask you—in their own individual way—if you’ve been eating better.

Pressing 1
You’ll feel justified to press 1 if you’ve eaten a little better than usual. You are now judge and jury—this is how you’ll learn to eat well. Maybe you chose a healthy snack like fruit and low-fat cheese instead of cookies. Maybe you didn’t stuff yourself like a turkey at dinner. After you press 1, the YoCoach will congratulate you. Congrats! Well done! We knew you could do it! Isabella might remind you to eat more fruits and vegetables; Mike might give you willpower tips; Sean might give you an “act slim” exercise. You might also get homework (like a quick stomach tightening exercise) and you’ll earn another YoPoint.

Pressing 2
If you’ve had a run in with a bag of chips or a candy bar, or gone back for seconds even though the voice in your head said you’d had enough, you press 2. The coaches will nudge you back towards normal, healthy eating. Maybe Isabella will remind you how to eat well, Mike will teach you that willpower is like a muscle—sometimes it is fatigued and needs to be rested, or Sean will give you an “acting slim lesson”. And you might get a quick exercise to do on the spot. We put you in the right frame of mind to get slim.

The call volume is designed to decrease as you gain strength and confidence in your willpower, leaving you independent with better eating habits.
