Online 1-on-1 weight loss coaching

Online weight loss coach, in Vietnamese and English

An online weight loss coach works with you remotely: a plan built after a video call, then daily contact by chat while you follow it. Trần Thủy Tiên coaches clients in the US, Australia, Canada, Germany, the UK and Vietnam, in Vietnamese or English, around the food they already buy.

The first consultation is free, and there is no obligation to continue.

A phone, a scale and a tape measure. We handle the rest.

What a week of online coaching actually looks like

Remote does not mean occasional. This is the schedule every client is on, from the first week to the last.

Every morning
You send what you ate and how the day is set up. Your coach reads it and answers the same day, in Vietnamese or English.
Every meal you are unsure about
A photo, before or after. The answer comes back as a change to that meal, not a lecture about it.
Once a week
Weight and measurements on a set day. Your coach reads them against the last few weeks and changes the plan if the numbers say so.
Twice a week
A live Zoom session with Tiên, so you understand why the plan looks the way it does. The first one you join is free.
On the weeks that go wrong
A wedding, a night shift, a week of travel. You get a plan for that week, rather than being told to start again on Monday.
Never
A clinic visit, a gym you have to show up to, or an appointment you have to drive to. There is nothing to attend in person, in any of the 6 countries.

Does online weight loss coaching actually work remotely?

It works because the part that decides the result is not the first meeting, it is the hundreds of small corrections after it. Those land better in a chat window than in a monthly appointment, because they land on the day the problem shows up rather than three weeks later.

What you give up by not being in a room is real and worth naming: nobody weighs you, nobody sees your kitchen, and nobody watches you eat. What you get back is contact on the ordinary days. Weight-loss coaching online is a trade, and for most people it is a good one.

How is an online coach different from a tracking app?

An app answers with a number. An online diet coach answers with a decision. You send a photo of the bún bò your mother made, and you are told what to do about it tonight, instead of an estimate you have to interpret on your own.

You are also matched with one person rather than a queue. The same coach reads your week every week, so by week six they know your work rhythm and your excuses, and that is when the corrections start being accurate.

Do you need a coach who lives near you?

No. All of this runs remotely, so an online fat loss coach in another time zone is no different from one in your city, and searching for someone near you is the wrong constraint. What matters is whether they eat the food you eat and answer in the language you think in.

Meal guidance is built around what you can actually buy where you live, which is the part a program written for one country gets wrong. If it is the daily follow-up rather than the food that you want help with, that is what accountability coaching covers.

What do you actually need to be coached online?

A phone, a set of bathroom scales, a tape measure, and a habit of answering. That is the whole list. No app to buy, no equipment, and no gym membership, because the plan starts at your table rather than in a gym.

The habit of answering is the one that decides how well this goes. Clients who go quiet for two weeks are almost never lazy, they are embarrassed about a bad week, and the bad week is exactly the one a coach needs to see.

How fast should the weight actually come off?

Nobody can tell you your rate before seeing how your body responds, and a coach who quotes you a number in the first conversation is guessing. What is worth knowing is which direction the evidence points.

People who lose weight at a gradual, steady pace, about 1 to 2 pounds a week, are more likely to keep it off than people who lose it faster.

That is also why coaching here has no fixed end date. It continues until you reach the goal you set, rather than stopping on a date that suited the program.

Online coaching and in-person coaching, side by side

How the coaching runs, from the first call

  1. The free consultation

    A video call with the team. You go through your history, your health, your schedule, and what has already failed. If the program is not a fit for you, we say so on this call. The first Zoom session with Tiên is free too.

  2. Your plan

    Built after the call, around how your body responds, the hours you actually have, and the food you can buy where you live.

  3. Daily coaching in the chat

    Your coach checks in every day. You send meal photos, they answer questions, and they catch small drift before it turns into a stalled month.

  4. Weekly adjustment

    You report weight and measurements on schedule, and the plan changes based on what those numbers do rather than on a template.

Jordan Tran before and after losing 80 lbs

Lost 80 lbsin 28 weeks

I was hooked on diet pills and starving myself. As a man, I used to think being overweight wasn't a big deal until my doctor warned me that I was at risk of diabetes. I tried fasting. I tried diet pills. Nothing worked. I just kept getting hungrier and gaining more weight. Then a friend introduced me to Tiên's program, and everything changed.

I was overweight since childhood, growing up with constant comments about my body. I got used to it, but the hurt kept piling up. Then I decided to join Young’s program. Day after day of effort, day after day of not giving up. After 29 weeks I found the most confident, radiant version of myself.

I went through serious depression. I thought I'd never walk again, that I'd be in a wheelchair for the rest of my life. Then, by fate, I found Tiên on Facebook. Now, at 70, I don't need a wheelchair, no knee or shoulder surgery. I move around with ease.

Annie Nguyen before and after losing 51 lbs

Lost 51 lbs

I tried everything, from diet pills and weight-loss teas to every fad diet I could find. Nothing worked. After having two kids in three years, I gained even more weight. Then I started following Young's personalized plan. I lost an incredible 51 lbs. My body became leaner, I stopped snoring, the numbness in my hands disappeared, and my hair stopped falling out.

Frequently asked questions

How much does online coaching cost?

It depends on how long the program runs and how often we meet, so Young Group does not publish one figure. We go through it on the free consult, and there is no obligation to continue. There are no hidden fees and no pressure to decide on the call.

If it is online, how does anyone weigh me?

You do, on the same scales, on the same day of the week, and you report the number. Measurements go with it, because weight on its own moves for reasons that have nothing to do with fat. Your coach reads the trend across weeks rather than any single morning.

What if my coach is in a different time zone?

Daily coaching runs by chat, so an answer does not need both of you awake at the same moment. The scheduled video calls are booked around your hours. Clients in Australia, Germany and the US are all coached on the same method.

Do I need an app, a gym or any equipment?

No. A phone, bathroom scales and a tape measure. There is nothing to install and nothing to buy before you start, because the plan starts with the food you already buy.

Can I be coached if I live outside the United States?

Yes. Young Group coaches clients in the US, Australia, Canada, Germany, the UK and Vietnam. Coaching is fully remote, and meal guidance is adapted to what you can actually buy where you live.

How soon will I see results?

It depends on your starting point, your health, and how closely you follow the plan, so no honest coach will give you a date on the first call. The goal is a plan clear enough that you keep the result, not the fastest possible drop. Results vary by person, and this is not medical advice.

How does the money-back guarantee work?

Young Group refunds 100% of your tuition if you meet all of the program conditions together and still have not reached the minimum agreed result after 60 days. The conditions cover following the guidance for the full 60 days without adding other methods, submitting meal photos, reporting weight and measurements on schedule, attending at least 80% of coaching sessions, using the recommended products as directed, and disclosing any medical condition or medication that affects your weight.

The full list is on the Terms of Service page. It is a money-back guarantee, not a guarantee of results.

What online coaching cannot do

Nobody can weigh you, cook for you, or make your body respond faster than it will. Coaching at a distance does not remove the part where you do it, and a program that suggests otherwise is promising something no coach can deliver.

What changes is that you are not doing it unobserved. Someone reads your week every week and adjusts the plan, and you get an answer on the day you need it instead of at the next appointment.

Free consultation

Talk to a coach before you decide anything

The first consultation is free and there is no obligation to continue. You get a straight answer on whether coaching at a distance fits your situation.

Money-back guarantee if you follow the plan and do not get results. Conditions apply.
