World Gym had a
lot of successful bodybuilders. After much debate and seeing
others who were dedicated and succeeding at achieving their
goals, I finally wanted to do that too! I knew I could not do it
on my own; therefore, knowing some of respected trainers in the
gym I sought out their counsel. Confusingly, I was always was
given different views that did not match my goals-they were just
too extreme for me at that time, and I was unable to adequately
apply their knowledge.
I decided to
talk to the resident nutritionist at the Gym, Mr. Marco
Hernandez. After a quick check, I learned that I was 23% body
fat. I have to admit my stomach looked like a keg of beer. I
told him I was concerned about the cancer in my family and the
prevalent role it plays. Then after reviewing my two-week eating
journal and talking about my direction, Marco developed a food
plan to start the change. Revealing goals and ambitions to
someone new was not easy, but Marco always instilled the
confidence for success at every meeting and produced workable
eating plans to get started on the road to change.
That was a great
year. My weight went from 248 lbs. to 198 lbs. and I could
really see some of the changes in my body. Since then, it has
been a solid list of achievements in the gym and for my body. I
have come close to achieving most of my goals and Marco has been
with me all the way.
I do not fight
the holidays anymore, but rather enjoy them now without gaining
weight. My fat producing “mass diets” and other bad habits
are a thing of the past. There is no more binge eating and I no
longer survive on fast food.
These are just
some of the results that I have achieved with Marco. The
knowledge that was previously absent, is present and is a
regular part of my life. I thrive and enjoy eating for optimal
health. I found out that the foods that work the best for me
could be used in a variety of ways. Marco has helped me to
develop numerous food plans that work well with certain time
periods during the year that have been the cornerstone for my
success and the results that I have always dreamed of! Yes,
dreamed of.
Currently, I am
at my all time best condition ever –7% body fat at a weight of
174 lbs. The results are driving my ambition to continue to
succeed. For the first time, I am actually considering
participating as a contestant in an amateur bodybuilding show.
After all, Marco helped me get here, so I know that I will get
to my goal.
I will never
forget how Marco helped change my life. Not only by helping me
to produce results, but also by helping me to prevent cancer
which has been a primary factor.
