Honest before impressive
If I don't think the coaching is right for you, I'll say so on the intro call. A client I can't actually help is not a win for either of us.
Meet your coach
Hi, I'm Daniël
A certified nutrition coach in Karlsruhe, working online, in English or German, with people who want to lose weight and keep it off. If you moved here from somewhere else, I have been there too.
The short version
I moved, I cooked badly, and I found out the hard way
Arriving somewhere new resets everything you had running on autopilot. The shops are different, the labels are in another language, the food you used to reach for isn't there, and the routine that quietly kept you healthy at home is gone. For a while I ate whatever was easiest and told myself I'd sort it out once I settled in.
What eventually fixed it wasn't willpower or a stricter plan. It was building systems that fit the life I actually had. That's the thing I now do with clients, and it's why the coaching is as much about your Tuesday as it is about your macros.

Four things I hold to
Slow enough to last
Steady change you keep beats fast change you hand back. We aim for the result that's still there next year, not the steepest possible line.
Numbers, kept in their place
I have a mathematician's background, so I'll show you what your data says. I'll also tell you when a number is noise and not worth a decision.
A person, not a platform
Every check-in comes back as a short video from me. You're not filling in a dashboard alone and hoping an algorithm notices.
Credentials & scope
What I am, and what I'm not
I'm a certified nutrition coach, qualified through the OTL Akademie, with an M.Sc. in mathematics behind the way I read your data and build your plan. I work one to one, in English or German, with generally healthy adults who want to lose weight and keep it off.
I am not a doctor or a registered dietitian (Diätassistent). If you have a diagnosed condition, take medication that interacts with your eating, or have a history of disordered eating, I work alongside your physician and will ask for their sign-off before we start. Where something sits outside my scope, I'll tell you and point you to the right person rather than improvising.
Based in Karlsruhe
Coaching runs online, so where you are in Germany makes no difference to how we work.
In English or German
Whichever you think in. I moved here myself, so if the language is still landing, food is one thing I can make simple in the meantime.
A plan we adjust as we go
An active stretch where the numbers move, then a stretch of holding the new habits, agreed together and reviewed period by period.
The thinking
Why the second half matters more than the first
The hardest part of losing weight is the stretch after the results show up, when the scale stops rewarding you and the novelty is gone. That's the part most plans skip, and it's the reason coaching is built the way it is.
