Are you eating right for your goals?

As of this morning, the 6 Week challenge is sold out and filled. During the next 6 weeks challengers will not only get the best training in Colorado Springs, but will also be coached on how to eat properly for their own individual bodytype, goals and lifestyle factors.


Most trainers and even dieticians will just give you a calorie based meal plan and let you loose, every so often giving a few tips in between training sets. Less than 10% of the population is even mentally capable of following a calorie based meal plan, none the less a custom meal plan with the same foods every day.

Here at Fit Body Bootcamp we utilize the Precision Nutrition System. And it's exactly that..A system. Fad diets are woefully inadequate(I totally just used my phone's spell checker for that :p). Ever known a co-worker, family member or even yourself jump on a diet, only to gain the weight back and then some? Why is it that three diets with completely different food choices can have similar short term results?

Here's what the big diet book sellers don't want you to know. In order for a diet to be successful for millions of people, they are designed with extremely low calories. Same with Nutri-System. The average Nutri-System meal is just over 100 calories!! Eating 10 of their 'meals' a day is the equivalent of a concentration camp diet! But here's the catch, your body is way to smart to let you starve yourself. So instead it burns muscle and stores fat! And muscle is what helps you burn fat.

So yes, after a 'diet' you may be smaller, but chances are you've not only not lost a single ounce of fat, but chances are you've gained some. Then when your body is like 'mo more of this crap', you ditch the diet and now your body stores every single thing you eat because it thinks it might have another 'famine'(self induced in our modern world).

So who else wants to eat more, enjoy tasty food, become healthier and burn fat while maintaining muscle tone?

Even though the 6 week challenge is closed, I'm opening up 5 spots to the nutrition coaching for the next 6 weeks, that will get you on the right track of healthy habits.

Still not convinced a system is better than a diet? Check out how the Precision Nutrition coaching client lost 70 pounds and 20% bodyfat! Not only did he lose 50 pounds during the first 6 months, but he's learned the new healthy habits to keep it off.

What if I can't make it to the coaching sessions? Well you're in luck, the same Lean Eating Coaching program the above client went through will be open very soon. My inside contacts are saying they will announce it in about a week or so. Your results are guarunteed and you have a chance to win $10,000. They only take on a select few and almost all the spots go to the early bird list here.

And if you're training at Fit Body Bootcamp, I'll make sure to get you a copy of the Precision Nutrition System and a discount on training IF you make it into the Lean Eating program.

If you're here in Colorado Springs, this may be your last chance to get local nutrition coaching for awhile. Like I said there's 5 spots open for local coaching of the same principles in the Precision Nutrition System and Lean Eating Coaching program. And when the Lean Eating early bird list is notified it will be your last chance for at least 6 more months, maybe longer.

Whether you don't know the difference between a carb and protein or are at a high level of athletics(even GSP uses the PN principles) the Precision Nutrition System, whether locally coached(Fit Body Bootcamp) or remotely(Lean Eating Program/One-on-One) is probably what you've been looking for all these years to get the body of your dreams and play your sport at the highest levels of performance.

Don't miss out on these two opportunities before they are closed out. If you'd like local coaching you can call me at 719-494-3508. For the Lean Eating Coaching program and a chance to win $10,000, get on the waiting list here
