Q: What were your specific goals when you started your nutrition journey?
A: To start fueling my body properly to build lean muscle without adding bulk. Also, reducing my body fat percentage.
Q: Have you accomplished these goals?
A: YES! I’ve gained lean muscle and reduced my body fat percentage. I feel much more fulfilled when I eat and adding in the things I used to love a very long time ago, the things that I thought would make me gain weight and it has been amazing!
Q: What have you learned about food that you didn't know before?
A: Fat doesn’t make you “fat” when you add it in the right way. Eating 5 balanced meals a day is the way to go.
Q: Will you maintain this way of eating when you decide to finish your coaching process?
A: Yes of course, this is truly a lifestyle change.
Q: How has this way of eating differed from how you ate before?
A: I was living on about 5 different types of foods for about 10 years. I lived on about 500-600 carbs a day- rice, pasta, ground turkey breast, eggs, english muffins, peas (a lot of peas), lettuce and Cheerios for a treat.
Q: What was the most difficult part of this change?
A: It scared me to death to add in red meat (AHH fat!!), peanut butter (which I have always LOVED by the way but stayed FAR FAR away from because of the FAT! The amount of food Sarah had me eating was extremely scary. I had to trust in her and trust in the process if I wanted to achieve my goals and it was tough.
Q: What is your favorite part of eating this way?
A: Honestly?? The peanut butter!!! LOL! I would say adding in red meat as well. I didn’t realize how much I missed steak and burgers!!! It’s much more fun to go out to dinner and just grill out with my husband and actually be able eat what he’s eating.
Please include any other comments that you may have.
This is truly a lifestyle change and the only person who can make the change is you. Sarah can’t eat the food for you but will provide you with the tools and the accountability to make the change. YOU have to make the right food choices. YOU have to put in the work to see results and I promise you-you will see results. In the beginning it was very overwhelming but she helped me through it and as I always do I was WAY over thinking it and making it much more complicated than it had to be. It’s pretty clear cut and now I will NEVER go back to eating the way I used too. You still get to enjoy the things that you always have-I know what you’re thinking “I’m not giving up pasta” “I’m not giving up my glass of wine in the evening (not for me I’d rather eat my carbs ” . You don’t have to you just have to add it into your meal plan. No matter how much running or yoga I would do which is 7 days a week mind you, I could never get rid of that stubborn belly bulge that’s just in my genes to have (thanks mom and dad)! I couldn’t for the life of me get a cute butt (I had a pancake butt!). The way Sarah has me eating its helping to sculpt my body WITHOUT adding bulky muscle-just lean muscle like I told her I wanted. She listens to you and your goals. I like that she didn’t want to fatten me up for a lack of a better word. I told her that I like my lean body-I didn’t want to bulk up in any way, shape or form, I told her “ I don’t want thighs as big as my dreams”, (love your t shirt Sarah)! I just didn’t want to look borderline anorexic and unhealthy anymore. Bottom line for me this has been an incredible journey and I have her to thank for it but I’m the one who puts in the work, the effort every day. I shouldn’t say “work” because after a while it just becomes “normal” eating. If you don’t want to change or put in a little effort-save your money this is not for you. But again it’s not hard. She helps you achieve your goals as big or as small as they may be. Don’t think you have to spend 7 days a week working out either. It’s what YOU want to achieve YOUR goals not mine, not hers. Everyone’s goals are different and you will achieve results based on those goals. It’s worth a try you really might surprise yourself!
