Eric’s Flexible Dieting Testimonial
Overall Review of the Program
“This program was eye-opening for me. I had already been cross-fitting for 9 months and while I was getting stronger and faster, my body shape was not changing. Any time I felt hungry, I would eat to make sure I was giving my muscles enough so that they could grow/heal and be ready for the next day. I never paid much attention to what I was eating and definitely did not look at nutritional facts, and my body showed it. I thought I was in decent shape, but the first day I took pictures and really looked at them is when I realized how bad it had gotten. I set out a goal of losing 10 pounds since I figured I hadn’t been able to do that in 9 months, if I could do that in 12 weeks that would amazing. The first couple of days were tough, I had to learn what nutrients were in what foods and how to use a food scale, etc. But after a couple of days I realized that I could just eat the same thing as I did the day before and hit my numbers. I never had to do that, but having that ‘safety-net’ let me brave new things each day. I continually added more ‘good’ foods to my diet, I erased almost all alcohol consumption (by choice), and we cut eating out to a minimum. I absolutely hate to eat out now, but the lack of meals out more than paid for the challenge. Most places don’t want to tell you what is in there food (but they want you to eat it??) it takes a long time to go out to eat (travel and wait), it is more expensive, and it is much more unhealthy. There were foods that I would normally eat that would be double the fat content I should have in an entire day. I had NO idea. Having the group on Facebook was awesome, we shared recipes back and forth and it helped to find interesting foods that you could eat all while hitting your numbers”
