When I first signed on to work with BIN, I thought that it would be as simple as getting macros. But it was so much more than that. They helped me understand that my TRUE goal -- getting stronger and gaining muscle -- was going to require “eating the part.” BIN helped me repair my relationship with food and, during the process, taught me so many lessons about life.

I have attempted many transformations and "diets" over the years, but with BIN Condensed Lifestyle I got perhaps my best results. I am faster, stronger, healthier, happier, not hungry all the time, and better at CrossFit.

Not only have most of my physical symptoms subsided, more importantly, I’m in a much better headspace. The diet culture is real and I had to unwind some pretty nasty behaviors/mindset to be able to move from the scale as a sole measurement of success. I love that BIN offers programs to fit all phases of your journey and grateful they encourage you to find what works for you at different points in time.

My endurance during WODs increased more than ever in my 8 years of CrossFit, and I PRd every lift during testing week. Some PRs were as much as 20lbs! Not only did I reach my weight gain goals, it was also a great mental challenge.

My life has changed and I am never going back. I eat now. I eat breakfast, lunch and dinner - and snacks and shakes in between. I have energy for my workouts; I have so much fierce mental clarity each day; I sleep at night; my thyroid function is normal; I have a healthy relationship with food AND with red carpets.

This has been the most successful I have been with any program and the best relationship with my body and food. It takes time and patience and there is no magic pill. I am the happiest I have been with myself. This is the best program with awesome coaches.

My body changed, undoubtably, but my mindset shifted far more. I’ve never stressed less about food, eaten more food, or felt better about (or looked better in) my body.

With BIN I realized that progress doesn't mean being perfect every day (although, I still sometimes want to be), the key component of success is consistency and showing up. I didn't think about what accountability actually can do for us. I can say that now I feel better, more confident in my skin and actions.

My life has changed. My view on food has changed. But the most important thing is that I don’t ever feel bad for eating something I want.
