Ep. #1012: How Fernando Lost 55 Pounds and Fixed His Relationship With Food

In this podcast, I interview Fernando, who read my book Bigger Leaner Stronger and joined my one-on-one coaching program to take his health into his own hands, lose over 55 pounds, and get leaner and stronger than ever before. The improvements to his physique are obvious, but more importantly, Fernando built a more resilient body that made him capable of not only playing with his kids, but taking up mountain biking and avoiding injury. And what he learned about nutrition not only fixed his relationship with food, but allows him to adjust his diet to his needs and get results on command. This is his story.

Before finding my work, Fernando was over 230 pounds, sedentary, and so out of shape that he couldn’t play with his kids. That was the trigger that motivated him to finally make a change. He read my book Bigger Leaner Stronger and joined my coaching program, and over the next year, made dramatic improvements to his physique, health, and mindset.

In this interview, Fernando and I chat about . . .

- How he fixed his relationship with food

- How he strategized cheat meals to not derail his progress

- became in control of his health

- How he used his fitness not only to avoid previous everyday pains, but avoid future injuries

- How he used fitness to take up a new, active hobby, not just to look good

- Trusting the process, enjoying the journey, and learning to be good enough (not perfect)

- And more . . .

So if you’re looking for a jolt of inspiration and like motivational stories, definitely listen to this episode.
