If I could, I'd call this post, "Losing Body Fat Without Losing Your Mind." (I guess maybe I just did.)
I told Adam when I started a couple months ago that my goals were to better balance my diet along with figuring out a repeatable workout schedule. As I’ve gotten into my late 40s, it’s been more and more difficult to rely on my once fast metabolism to offset my increasingly sedentary lifestyle. Poehlmann Fitness changed all of that.
Adam showed me how to track the foods I ate and what I should be trying to accomplish every day nutritionally. It was quite simple: eat 120g of protein and get two fist-sized servings of greens. That was it. No “don’t eat this” or “can’t eat that.” Just load your body with what it needs and then attack your workouts.
Oh, yeah. The workouts. I hadn’t lifted free weights since Ronald Reagan was in office (yes, really), so I was more than a little hesitant to jump into the prescribed workouts. But Adam reassured me I could. And sure, I couldn’t walk or use my arms for the first week, but that was just a sign that I was effectively using muscles I hadn’t been using in a LONG time. After that first week, it became, dare I say…easy. Put in the time and effort, trust the process and the results WILL come.
I lost 1% body fat the first month and another 1% percent after the second. I’m thrilled with the results and have no doubts that if I stick with the program, the results will continue on a similar trajectory. Trust Adam to do for you what he easily did for me.
