At 115lbs. I didn’t necessarily need to lose any weight. I did however, need to start eating healthier. I have a fundamental understanding of nutrition and would consider myself a healthy eater for the most part. I avoided fried food, ate lots of fruit and vegetables, and was able to stay away from most things considered junk. But I still needed help.
Because of my job as a Group Fitness instructor I exercise a lot, sometimes too much. I could feel the overtraining taking its toll on my energy levels. I could feel that my performance was being affected. I have always considered myself an athlete, and I wanted to start eating as such, so I could handle the demands for my job.
I went to Tony and told him my story. I wouldn’t mind losing 1 or 2 percent bodyfat, but primarily I wanted to eat to fuel my body so that it would work more efficiently for me, I said. He had me fill out a survey that questioned things like my sleep patterns, my weakness foods, my medications, and so on. He put me on the scale and we went from there. In no time at all Tony provided me with a meal plan that was specific and easy to understand. He recommended supplements, and reviewed everything with me answering my numerous questions.
Seems that even though I ate most healthy foods, I wasn’t eating as often as I should, or in the right proportions. For example, too many carbs not enough proteinat meals or vice versa. I learned how to couple foods together to eat for optimum performance and also for body fat loss. When I follow my nutrition plan, I feel better, I work out better, and I even sleep better. And the fact that my “skinny jean” are starting to get loose doesn’t hurt either!
Thank you Tony, for making me realize there is so much more than calorie counting, and dieting when it comes to changing how I look and feel.
Sincerely,
