TESTIMONIAL
I’m a 43-year-old father of two incredibly active boys. As a father, all I want to do is be a good role model, to be the dad that is actively engaged in their life but for a period I struggled because I was overweight. I recognized that I wasn’t being the role model they deserved. One of the biggest areas that I was failing them was not modeling and living a healthy lifestyle. As a former collegiate athlete, I took great pride in being in shape. Running for me wasn’t just about staying in shape, it was a stress reliever, a way to disconnect and just enjoy being outside. But injuries and some life circumstances got me off track and I became sedentary. Stress eating for me was a way to cope and next thing I knew I was the heaviest I ever weighed in my life. I knew the current path wasn’t sustainable and I knew my health was going down a road that was increasing my risk of heart disease and diabetes. I knew a change was needed but I wasn’t sure how to get to my goal of making sure I did everything in my power to be there for my kids.

After some research, I stumbled on Black Iron Nutrition. I had done macro counting before, so the concept wasn’t foreign to me, but I also struggled sustaining the progress. So, I was skeptical about joining another macro counting program. Recognizing that I needed to do something, I decided to push forward and join BIN. It’s been one of the best decisions I’ve made. Working with Carly for about 9 months has been a life changing experience. I really don’t see this as a coach and client relationship, I really see this as a partnership. Carly has been amazing. She has listened to my concerns, encouraged me when my motivation was waning and really helped me realize a better version of myself. Together, we’ve created life changes that I’m confident will be sustained for a long time. Most importantly, I feel like I’ve gotten my life back. The weight loss is great but having my kids want to go on runs with me is my best success story during this program. I am so grateful for this opportunity and I can’t recommend Black Iron Nutrition enough.
