I was amazed how much better my energy and sleep got in the first few months. I lost weight while increasing the amount of food I was eating. I got to choose what I was eating to hit my macros and learned pretty quickly which foods fit my goals and what didn’t.

My experience has been so amazing! I have done two 3 month cycles with Black Iron and have lost over 10 pounds this year! But my success was not only on the scale. I felt so accomplished in the gym and my body felt so strong and healthy.

The extensive information I received and shared prior to starting with BIN impressed me, and I could sense that this program would guide me towards my desired health, fitness, and life goals. After comparing it to another fitness business that charged significantly more, there was no way I could turn down BIN, which cost less than one-eighth of the other option. Needless to say, I am thrilled to have found BIN.

I came to Black Iron Nutrition as a serial dieter, always just wanting to cut down my food to ‘look like I do CrossFit’. Instead we’ve spent 4 years building up my metabolism through eating more food, prioritising recovery and building my strength and fitness. I learned that in order to do well in CrossFit, you REALLY need to eat a lot. 

Previously, I had always felt depleted with low energy after cuts, and this time the process has been the smoothest it’s ever been, all while still being able to train really hard. I think the biggest growth for me in this whole process has been being able to shift my mindset that tracking my food does not have to always involve weight loss.

While I've lost 13 pounds in the past three months, it's my improved mental state that truly makes me feel amazing. I now feel in control of myself, a significant shift from the past 3.5 years of feeling out of control.

Deciding to work with Black Iron Nutrition was the start I needed and has been invaluable, to say the least. In 12 weeks I lost weight, I lost inches, I lost body fat, and I gained so much knowledge! The first step is the hardest but is also the most rewarding.

I’ve honestly never been happier with how my body looks and feels. Because of how I got here…it was simple and it was imperfect. And to me, that’s the best part of this transformation — the part that will stick with me the most forever — I got here in a sustainable way.

From February to December I lost 56 pounds, although my check ins did not focus on weight loss. They were focused on creating habits around sleep and hydration, figuring out a way to eat that worked best for me, and managing my stress.

Before BIN, I was in a constant state of overtraining and (unknowingly) under-eating. I had an “all or nothing” mindset when it came to my nutrition and restricted a lot of my favorite foods while categorizing them as either good or bad. I was always bulking or cutting, never stayed in maintenance nor did I know how to. I was constantly struggling and realized I needed help. 

The last 4 years have meant the world to me, I have grown so much from starting this journey in my early twenties to coming into my own in my later twenties. I went from not knowing anything about how to fuel my body and thinking I couldn’t eat certain things, to slowly over the years understanding how to use food as a tool to accelerate my fitness and mindset to where I am now.

I have practiced macro counting on and off for years, but the accountability I have with weekly check-ins is invaluable. I used to track for a few days then drop off, but because of my close monitoring and accountability, I am seeing more results than ever.

When I started the Black Iron Nutrition Lifestyle+ program 5 months ago I was in a RUT. I was the true definition of you can’t outwork a bad diet. I’m very head strong and determined, but without my coaches accountability and knowledge I wouldn’t be where I am today. My health has become my number one priority and I have learned this journey is a marathon, not a sprint. Change your mind and you can change your life. Take the plunge, you won’t regret it!

Who knew all I needed was some outside accountability and having somebody in my corner to drive some change. With just a little bit of consistency I saw what I would consider significant change over a few months. I am a totally different person than I was 6 months ago and I like to call myself Kelli 2.0 nowadays

How refreshing it was to work with such a down to earth realistic person! I started just needing some real accountability to get me back to where I wanted to be after kids. I learned a lot about myself and my mind frame with food and fitness that in the long run could put me back in the place I was just getting my self out of.

I was just about to turn 50 and I knew I wanted to fight off pre-diabetes and age more gracefully. I wasn’t nervous to work with a coach, but I was nervous about submitting photos. I have had body dysmorphia for a long while and I hate having my picture taken.

Learning and understanding macros and portion control has been everything. It has changed my life forever. I feel amazing. Not only have I lost weight and witnessed body composition changes, but the amount of knowledge I have gained is indescribable.

I’ve lost a little over 30 lbs and a little over 8 inches from my waist. But the biggest achievement through it all is that I’ve done all this while eating over 2,000 calories!! I’ve never felt like I couldn’t have this or couldn’t have that. I never once have felt like I was on a diet.

I’d done the postpartum journey before with my first baby and I knew it would take a lot of patience and time on my behalf. I was following a metabolic flexibility program before my second pregnancy and yes it worked, but I followed it blindly without really understanding the principles so it didn’t last.

Before nutrition coaching I could never get myself to eat enough food. Now I have learned how much my body needs to feel my best and I am giving my body the fuel it needs. Over the course of my experience I only fluctuated a few pounds but my body composition changed dramatically.
