1-on-1 weight loss coaching

Weight loss coach, in Vietnamese and English

A weight loss coach builds a plan around your body, then stays with you while you follow it. Trần Thủy Tiên coaches clients in the US, Australia, Canada, Germany, the UK and Vietnam, with meal plans built around the food you already eat, Asian staples included. Coaching is 1-on-1, daily, and in Vietnamese or English.

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

Fully remote. There is nothing to attend in person, in any of the 6 countries.

What 1-on-1 coaching includes

You pay once, after the free consultation. No monthly fee, nothing per session, and no extra cost if you need longer. The team stays with you until you reach the goal you set. Young Group does not publish the number, because the right plan is different for every person.

A body and habit review first
The first session is free. The team asks about how you eat, your work rhythm, your sleep and what you have already tried, before anyone mentions a meal plan.
A plan built around your food
Not a template everyone gets. Dishes you already eat, ingredients you can buy where you live, about 15 minutes to prepare.
One coach, every day
A specific person, not a group chat or a file you are sent. You check in daily and you get an answer daily.
Adjusted every week
Your coach reads your meal photos and your weekly weight and measurements, and changes the plan based on what they show.
Two Zoom calls a week with Tiên
So you understand why you are eating this way, not just following instructions. The first one you join is free.
A community going through it too
People at the same stage as you, so you are not working it out alone on the hardest days.
No expiry date
It runs until you reach the goal you set at the start, rather than stopping on a date that suited the program.
Fully remote, in Vietnamese or English
Video calls and daily chat, nothing to attend in person. Vietnamese first, with English wherever you want it.

The number itself depends on which plan fits you, so Tiên goes through it on the free consult once she knows what you need. There is no obligation to continue.

What does a weight loss coach actually do?

A weight loss coach does three things: works out why the weight is not moving for you specifically, builds a plan you can actually follow, and checks in often enough that you do not quietly drift off it. Whether you call it a weight loss coach, a fat loss coach or a losing weight coach, that is the job.

The third one is the part most people underestimate. A plan you are sent and then follow alone is a document. Coaching is the correction that happens after the document, on the days the document stops matching your life.

In nearly ten years of coaching Vietnamese clients, the pattern Trần Thủy Tiên sees most often is not a willpower problem. It is a plan that fitted in week one, stopped fitting by week nine, and had nobody watching closely enough to notice.

Is a weight loss coach the same as a weight loss health coach?

No, and the difference is worth being clear about. A weight loss coach is not a doctor, a dietitian or a therapist. Young Group coaches do not diagnose conditions, prescribe anything, or treat disease.

What a coach handles is everything in between medical appointments: the plan, the food, the daily check-ins, and the adjustments when something stops working. If you have a health condition or take medication, your doctor stays in charge of that. Tell your coach at the first consultation so the plan is built around it.

Do you get one personal weight loss coach, or a team?

You get one. Every Young Group client is matched with one personal weight loss coach who follows them 1-on-1, every day. You are not dropped into a group chat and you are not handed to an app.

Behind that coach is a team of weight loss coaches trained on the same method by Trần Thủy Tiên, who selects and trains every one of them herself. That is why the standard does not change depending on who you are matched with.

What is different about a Vietnamese-speaking coach?

The plan starts from food you already buy. Rice, phở, bún and bánh mì sit inside the plan rather than being exceptions you have to earn, and so does the family meal you were never realistically going to skip.

Most English-language programs are built around a Western plate, so the first thing they take away is the food you grew up on. That is usually why a plan lasts three weeks. Coaching in Vietnamese also removes the quieter problem, which is having to describe how your body feels in a language you think in second.

For what that looks like week to week, read how clients lose weight without giving up rice and phở. If the food side is the part you want help with, that is what nutrition coaching for weight loss covers.

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.

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

  3. Daily coaching

    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.

Message her directly. No form to fill in.

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

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 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.

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 coaching cost?

It depends on how long the program runs and how often we meet. 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.

Do I have to give up rice?

No. Rice stays in the plan, in an amount and a pairing built around how your body responds to it. Cutting out the food you grew up on is the most common reason a plan gets abandoned in week three.

Can I work with a coach 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.

Will I be coached by Trần Thủy Tiên herself?

Tiên builds the method and trains the team, so whoever you are matched with coaches you her way. Day to day you work with one coach assigned to you, not with an automated system and not with a file that gets emailed once.

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.

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.

What a coach cannot do

A coach cannot decide for you, and cannot make your body lose weight faster than it will. Nobody can tell you how you will respond until you start.

What changes is that you stop guessing. Every week someone reads your numbers and adjusts the plan, instead of you working it out alone. That is what a weight loss coach does, and it is honestly all a weight loss coach does.

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 the program fits your situation.

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