More About Lou Vega

The strategy matters

Why “eat less and work out more” is not working anymore

Your body needs more, not less

Cutting calories and pushing harder in the gym can backfire after 40. Your body gets stressed, hungry, and inflamed. It hangs on to fat instead of letting it go.

Blood sugar is the hidden driver

Unstable blood sugar is a quiet energy thief. It leaves you tired, foggy, craving sugar, and stuck in a snack cycle that never quite fills you up.

Mixed messages create confusion

Keto, fasting, detoxes, carb cutting, “clean eating.” You have been told a hundred different rules that do not fit your real life. No wonder you feel frustrated and stuck.

You are not the problem

You are disciplined, you work hard, and you care about your health. You simply have not been given a simple, sustainable formula that matches the season of life you are in now.

100 Days of 1%

A simple system. Daily support.
100 Days To A Better Formula

100 Days of 1% is a coaching experience that teaches you how to fuel your body properly.

You will learn how to build meals with protein, fat, and carbs that stabilize blood sugar, support hormones, and give you steady energy.

Then you will practice it in real life with daily support from Coach Lou.

In 100 days, you will:

Learn the proven framework and how to use it at home, at work, and on the go
Understand what to eat before and after your workouts so they finally pay off
Build meals that keep you full, satisfied, and out of the snack spiral
Create simple routines for sleep, stress, and hydration that support your goals
Finish with a clear, written plan that you can keep using long after the 100 days end

Learn your formula

We start with simple education so you understand how your metabolism works now and how this proven framework helps stabilize blood sugar and energy.

Put it into action

Together, we build meals, snacks, and routines that fit your schedule, family, and preferences. No all-day meal prep. No “perfect days” required.

Lock in the new you

Over 100 days you practice, adjust, and refine with daily coaching. You finish with confidence in your choices and habits you can actually maintain.

Fit check

Is Formula 180 right for you?

You do not have to be perfect or “fit enough” to start. This program is for women who see themselves facing any of these challenges:

You are 40-plus and work out consistently, but your results have stalled
You want more energy for your workouts, family, work, and life
You are tired of jumping from diet to diet and starting over every Monday
You feel confused about what to eat and want clear, honest guidance
You care about your long-term health and want to stay strong and independent as you age
You want a coach who actually checks in and a community that feels like family

Client results

What clients have to say

"Do yourself a favor and try out Formula 180!!!!"

This program has taught me so much in such a short time. Prior to formula 180 I had tried many diet programs and though I may have lost some weight, I did not learn how to change my habits or lifestyle. The Formula 180 program teaches you how to incorporate healthy eating habits and exercise into your lifestyle, no matter how busy. The personal coaching I received from Lou is what made the difference in the success I had with this program.

As an RN I have a demanding job and lots of good excuses for not eating right throughout the day. The Formula 180 personal coaching was tailored to my personal needs and was flexible enough to change when things in my life or work schedule changed. After going through this program and losing ten pounds already, I feel both better equipped and fully confident that I will be able to continue on my weight loss journey and maintain my weight loss as time goes on.

Do yourself a favor and try out Formula 180!!!!

"i want to thank you for all you have done for me"

Thank you so much, Coach!!! My focus as I move into this next phase is to continue to show up for myself and use all the tools and knowledge I have gained through 100 Days of 1% to continue this healthy lifestyle. I am being intentional to remind myself frequently of my "why" and not focus on being perfect but being consistent instead.

Some of the wins I have experienced are definitely weight loss and increased energy as well as increased muscle mass, clothes fitting better, increased self confidence knowing that I have the strength to be in control of my diet, health , and lifestyle without having restrictions. I want to thank you for all that you have done for me, all the encouragement and words of wisdom that you have given me throughout the past 100 days. You are the best!!!

– Brenda Spady

"the results...instant!!!"

So true! I was that person, never having anything before I worked out. Then, I read the science behind needing just a little protein and decided to try it. I mean what did I have to lose? The results...instant!!! Energy for days, my workout was the easiest it had been in years. (Still hard lol). Ladies...I'm telling, eat something, it is fully worth it to get the most out of your workout!!

– Megan Malone

"game changer baby!! Thank lou!!"

This program has taught me a ton and I thought I knew a lot. I'll gladly admit I was wrong. Truly learning to fuel your body has made a huge difference in my workouts, energy, the way I feel, and even weight loss. Crazy all the "diet" misconceptions out there. Fueling my body with good nutrition and proper supplementation has been a game changer in my health and fitness. Game changer baby!! Thanks Lou!!
