For years weʼve been sniffing out the secret weapons that you need to change your SHAPE, not just your “weight.” And The Shapeshifter has been quietly guiding us from the shadows… — Adam And What About Those Guys Who Never Have to Worry About Their Weight? Ryan Used To Be One… Iʼve never once done a diet.
Thatʼs right, a roll. That unsightly bump of belly fat that breaks up the outline of a tight fitting t-shirt. That slight bulge around the middle thatʼs the first thing to emerge from a foggy mirror after a shower.
Iʼve always been able to push myself during workouts. And when I buckle down, Iʼm one of the most disciplined eaters on the planet. (Of course the opposite is also true…) So yeah… I hit rock bottom and fought my way back into shape… Over and over again.
I never had to. I really like green vegetables. I donʼt eat sweet things cause Iʼm sweet enough. Iʼve always been active, and naturally thin — I had more trouble gaining weight than losing it. And then I hit my mid-30ʼs. My life took a stressful turn, and crap jobs were piled on top of money problems and frustration at the slow pace of my goals.
But it was my challenge, and I didnʼt like it. How did it happen? Age partly, lack of sleep and inadequate recovery most probably, but also the chronic stress of too many writing assignments where the hours were long and training was minimal.
I also struggled to maintain my muscle mass. And that was part of my problem. Iʼd started down that terrible slope of changing body composition, and I didnʼt like where it was headed… My story[...].
I kept plugging away with my training over those years, and my nutrition was clean, but I was hiding a shameful little secret: I had developed a roll.
But after a while the hard work and discipline stopped working. Programs that used to get me back into shape were leaving me flabby. The 3 SINS were catching up with me… To my credit, Iʼd tested ALL the gimmicks and fads. And thatʼs great news for you, because I figured out they NEVER work. And thatʼs when the pieces started falling into place. Ryan and I got on the path that led us to the body “ redesign ” methods we now use on ourselves and on thousands of clients around the world.
That one blight on the landscape of an otherwise perfect body… ahem… Okay, yeah, I know, a roll isnʼt much to whine about when youʼre challenged with losing serious weight.
