Hi Functional Bodybuilders!
I’m on a mission this year to show as many people as I can that:
- you’re not over the hill
- your metabolism isn’t broken
- big changes are easier than you’d think...
IF you focus your energy on the things that really matter.
So today’s case study is my client Ryan, a 42 year old dad of a newborn, who’s been with me for 20 weeks. So far he’s lost about 12 pounds of fat, and gained 2 pounds of muscle.
He reached out after that pivotal moment of realizing his clothes were getting too tight - and he wanted to do something about it. And here are three simple changes that made the biggest difference.
Ryan knew he needed protein - sure, we all do. Getting accountable to every single gram was another matter. At the end of each day he reported exactly how much protein he ate - and repeated this consistently.
Once we looked at this key data point daily, it became apparent exactly how much protein Ryan needed in order to meet his fitness goals. It's important to understand what that quantity looks like in real food, on a plate, in all kinds of daily life situations. In grams - not eyeballed. And he acknowledged that the only way to get there was to track.
