-44 lbs (12 Weeks)

Online Nutritional Coaching

I tried many times over the years to lose the excess weight that I had gained since my late twenties with no success. My diets would last from a few days to a few weeks and then I would reward myself by going on a binge and getting right back to my previous weight, if not worse. I decided I needed a professional coach to help me, and I needed to find the right person based on my circumstances.

I chose Marcus because I'd heard about him and that he had a specialized fat loss program that was personally designed to each individual, that it ran for 12 weeks, that it was not just a diet but a lifestyle change and that you could lose weight without having to stop eating any of your favourite foods.

Marcus prepared a program for me that allowed me to eat basically whatever I wanted, but within certain reasonable quantities, and also kept me accountable on a weekly basis during the program by sending in weekly questions and photos. It also didn't involve hours spent on a treadmill at the gym, but rather just going for daily walks to keep up my weekly step counts.

We kept in touch via emails during the week and we chatted every few days to see how things were progressing or if anything needed to change. The communication from Marcus wass great and always very encouraging. One of the things that I found amazing was the food that I could eat with the eating plan. Once you get used to measuring the quantities of what you eat it becomes second nature and I very rarely felt hungry, if at all.

There are some base recipes that Marcus gave me which in themselves are delicious, but also which you can elaborate on with other ingredients in the plan if you so wish. Once a week you can have a treat meal where you can eat whatever you like and some odd beer or wine is allowed also.

The biggest result I achieved was going from my starting weight of 216 lbs to my finishing weight of 172 lbs 12 weeks later. I can't believe it, I can't remember a time that I felt so good! That's a weight loss of 44 lbs in 12 weeks!!

The coaching Marcus provided was very personal to my particular situation. He helped me to work around my current lifestyle and commitments and offered heaps of helpful suggestions along the way. The crazy thing is that I live in Australia and Marcus lives in Canada and we have only ever spoken on the phone or communicated over emails, so you don't need to attend classes or anything like that. Marcus is really easy going also and communicates with you like you are a really good friend. The whole experience has been amazing and really life changing for me! My snoring has stopped, I feel much lighter and fitter and I got rid of all my fat clothes and have started a new wardrobe!

Marcus is also very understanding, there was a couple of weeks along the journey where I had slip ups and one week I actually put on weight, but he said that's normal, we are all human, and then he got me to focus on all the positive progress I had already achieved up to that point, which made me feel really good and made me want to keep going. I really enjoyed everything about being coached by Marcus, he is very encouraging and supportive!!

I think Marcus has developed a system that works. It has worked for me and I have tried other eating plans in the past that all haven't. I wouldn't change a thing about it!

Marcus, your program has made me so much more aware of the food I eat, it's really changed the way I think about food. It's made a huge positive change to my life, I can't thank you enough!
