KARMEN (-30 lbs)
-30 lbs (16 Weeks)
N1 ONLINE NUTRITIONAL COACHING
Even though on the outside I might have been looking happy and doing lots of things that might have suggested I was loving life and feeling great, on the inside I really felt like crap and I was so sick of my body and how I was treating it with a very mediocre diet. I was also sick of hearing myself complain about myself, so I decided to do something about it. I wanted to restructure and overhaul my diet and nutrition habits so that I could create a better and sustainable lifestyle for myself and for my future.
I did a program with Marcus 5 years ago when I had fractured both shins and could not exercise so really needed guidance on the nutrition front. I loved everything that Marcus brought to the table at that time and I didn’t hesitate to contact him this time around when I was really feeling at a low point physically. I love Marcus’ approach to nutrition, sleep and movement. It all makes sense to me and the best part is...it is honestly quite simple! There are no tricks or secret methods or quick fixes - these things do not exist. Everything is straight forward but Marcus has such a fantastic way of explaining things that really hit home and made sense to me and I loved that.
Marcus helped me learn about who I am as a person, not just what my body responds to physically but I got in touch with the emotional and mental sides of things as well, which I wasn’t expecting to hit during this process. Marcus supported me every step of the way and asked extremely thought-provoking questions that really made me think about some of the choices I was making. Honestly, I didn’t expect to learn as much as I did in addition to losing weight, it was incredible.
If someone told me 16 weeks ago that I will be 30 lbs lighter today with a whole new appreciation for life and an entirely shifted positive state of mind, I would have told you you were insane. Here I am, 16 weeks later and 30 lbs lighter at 32 years old feeling the best I have ever felt in my entire life both physically and mentally. It truly is remarkable what a person can achieve if you put in the work, time and willingness to want it. I made this a huge priority and will continue to make this my #1 priority.
I loved the guidance I received throughout. I loved how Marcus responded promptly to all of my questions (and yes, I asked a lot of questions) with patience but also provided thoughtful and meaningful answers explaining things in full. He would always take things one step further and give me “homework” to think about during the course of the week. These questions really helped guide me and I didn’t expect that side of it!
I felt like I always had someone in my corner that I could e-mail anytime with a question, even if it was something small. He was so encouraging and motivating and I started to really love listening to his podcast, so much so that I began a new routine of doing a 10KM walk once a week minimum while listening to his podcast. Marcus has so much knowledge and insight and his tips and approach to nutrition resonated with me on every single level. I could write an essay about how fantastic Marcus was as a coach.
This was one of the best experiences of my life and I am forever grateful to you Marcus for everything you helped me achieve during this process. I really cannot thank you enough and I can’t wait for more podcast episodes to come out because I only have 5 more to listen to, then I have listened to all of your episodes! You have created such an incredible business and I will always remember being 32 years old because it was when I felt the best I have ever felt physically, mentally and emotionally. That is all thanks to your support and guidance.
