Male Case Study: Meet Chad
Often, we come across a confused potential client that is legitimately looking for a solution to their weight loss and energy problems. And Chad was no different.
You see, Chad was an avid runner. He liked to run because it was a form of meditation for him. It allowed him to shut off his mind through another avenue aside from drinking each and every afternoon. He also realized that he was a better dad, husband, and employee on the days that he was able to run.

When he first started with us, he questioned whether he would have to give up everything he was currently doing, in order to start “our program.”
We briefly explained that we technically do not have a program. We meet clients where they currently are in regards to diet and exercise, then we recommend certain tweaks to THEIR regimen in order to move them closer to their intended goals.
As you can see in the commentary below, we gauge what they are currently doing, what they have tried in the past, and sprinkle in some ideas of our own.
Then, we assess the client’s progress, their questions, and their daily feedback on how they are feeling throughout the day.
But, there was something else that Chad understood. Chad knew from the start a couple of important pillars in regards to not only achieving his health and weight loss goals, but what was important for him to understand about MAINTAINING them after we were done working together:
-
Weight loss is a gradual thing after the initial first few days of immediate water loss.
-
He would have to understand why and when to make certain food and exercise choices if he actually wanted to live a healthy life and not be stuck to the same meals at the same time of day.
-
He would have to ask questions. His coach doesn’t know what he doesn’t understand. Our goal is to ensure that you understand why we suggest what we do. Not just for our clients to be robots that are dependent on us.
-
He would have to eat in accordance with his training. For his hard runs, he would have to eat for fuel. On his recovery or off days, he would eat for recovery.
Now, this seems extremely simple and fairytale-ish, right?
“Oh I just have to ask questions and do whatever I am told and I will lose weight and be successful? Cool, sign me up.”
In theory, yes. That is exactly how it works. You hire a health consultant to show you where your pain points are and take the advice that helps remove them.
But in reality, life and your daily routines are much more complicated to change and shift. With enough leverage and necessity, anything is possible to do faster, but most of the time, it will get uncomfortable to make changes to our deeply ingrained habits.
For Chad, this was doing something else besides just running and slogging away on the pavement for miles at a time. He knew he wasn’t comfortable doing it nor would it be “fun” at first, but guess what, he chose to get just a little bit uncomfortable and see what was possible:
So what was the result? How long did it take him to accomplish his goals. Well, instead of talking about it, we will just show you:
Not bad, right? But the real kicker: he has maintained every bit of it for over a year. Think about that. Fad diets do NOT lead to sustainable weight loss. And Chad still gets to drink some days of the week and always eats whatever he wants for one night each week.
He found what worked for HIM and created his own formula to do life, better and healthier.
