Hey there!First of all, thank you for downloading my Calorie Counting Debunked Infographic!
What you probably DON'T know about this graphic is that it represents one of the biggest pet peeves among trainers today! It's true... For years upon years, we have been trying to convince our clients that counting calories is largely a waste of time. What REALLY matters is the source of the calories. Nutrition is what I do
Yet, even today, with all the science we have laser focused on the nutrition industry, there are very well-known weight loss chains promoting this approach. (Maybe it just means job security for them...their clients will ALWAYS have to return - because it doesn't work!) Look at it this way... Let's say you and your best friend were on a 2,000 calorie per day diet. You built your 2,000 calorie diet using largely lean protein and veggies...and a small amount of fats. Your friend chose lots of sugar and breads, pasta, rice, crackers, etc. Call it typical 'Western Diet' stuff... Same caloric intake... Same activity levels... Calories in, calories out. Right? Not exactly. Our bodies treat protein, fat and carbohydrate calories VASTLY differently (as you will see by the numbers in the infographic). So, what do you think you and your friend will look like 6 months from now? Yeah...you guessed it. You will be a LOT leaner than your friend. Theory proven. (Or disproven...depending upon which side of this argument you fall on.) Action Steps Oh, if it were all as easy as this... As a society, we have certainly added a bit of complexity to our food choices. No doubt. In fact, I have always been amazed at what clients consider a 'healthy diet' when I ask them to write it all out or simply describe their typical week of meals. Navigating all of this can be a nightmare. I see it every day. This is where I can help... Have you ever said to yourself, "I wish someone could just tell me what to eat!" If you had that, it's very likely you could get to where you want to be. Lose the unwanted fat and finally NOT have to stress about slowly adding weight over the years... What if I could design your meals for you, make sure you were doing the correct types of workouts (no matter where you are) AND help you break the habits that got you in a bit of trouble in the first place? Would you be interested? Step one is a free, no obligation phone call. We can discuss where you are in your 'quest' and if my program is a good fit for you. You see, I am a Personal Trainer and a Precision Nutrition ProCoach. This means I employ a system that has been used by over 45,000 people just like you (to the tune of almost a MILLION pounds of fat loss). That's a pretty serious number. Keep this in mind: You will be asked to make changes, but you WILL reach your goal. And I provide a guarantee. Here it is... If you stick with me and DON'T achieve the goals we have set up for you, I will refund every penny you spent on the program. Seriously. Who does that? This is not meant to sound cocky...It's simply the power of the 'system' A system developed over many years, tested, tweaked, refined and then tested some more. The result is the number one trainer-based, weight loss program in the world. Simply call today and let's see if we are a match (Not everyone is a good fit for this approach, so a conversation first is best.) So... Let's put together a few 'Action Steps' to take away from this conversation: 1. Review the infographic in detail 2. Pick ONE step you can do to make a change TODAY... I suggest your start using the 'palm' method to measure your next serving of lean protein. 3. Pick up your phone and let's chat about your goals and the details of our program. Oh, and remember that NONE of these steps costs you a penny... Committed to your health and goals. Mark de Arriba-Smith P.S. The final take away?
