Every year between Thanksgiving and New Years I receive numerous texts/PM’s from people asking about nutrition and/or training advice. Sometimes, I get positive response back. Most of the times I get a negative response or no response back ...
at all. I have even had people block/unfriend me due to my response.
I believe I speak for many personal trainers, dieticians and even health coaches when I say our ultimate goal is not to tell you want you want to hear, but what you NEED to hear to get the results you want. Anyone could write you some “personalized/fad” diet and recommended all these “miracle” pills you hear about on TV but if you’re not willing (1) to put in the time in the gym and the kitchen and (2) make it a part of your lifestyle, then all that time/money spent is wasted. For those of you who know me personally – you know that I am speaking from my own personal experience. Going up and down 100lbs three times over a seven year period was more than enough reason to stop wasting my time and doing what needs to be done.
That being said, if you are one of the few that are looking for some basic tips on nutrition or need someone to show you how to exercise properly then by all means - contact me as i am all for paying it forward and getting people started on the right track if/when i have the time. If you are looking for a quick fix , then i'm sorry i cannot help you. There's nothing more aggravating than spending hours writing a person a full blown plan, watching them completely ignore your recommendations, and THEN COMPLAIN TO YOU OR YOUR FRIENDS AS TO WHY THEY CANT GET THE RESULTS THEY WANT!!
“No excuses. Do the work.” I promise you at the end of the day you will reach your goals!
