Kristin changed her nutrition and her life, losing over 40 lbs
following the NutraFit Body principles.

 

Finding the answer to that question is essential not only to the pursuit of 8% body fat, but to the mastery of any art or science. And people seek the answer for different reasons:

Academic curiosity and genuine desire to learn

Exasperation with prior failed attempts at achieving a goal

Confusion with conflicting opinions, theories and systems

Fear of making a mistake and doing the wrong things

Impatience with the trial and error process

Lack of knowledge / experience required to distinguish true from false in the field

And the answer is not what you expect.

The answer you may think you want

Before I answer, ask yourself what kind of answer you expect from me. You know, what you’d hope to hear if we were having lunch together and you asked me, “Suzanne, what’s the one thing that will actually get me a firm, muscular, flat stomached, bikini-ready body?”

Well, if the market research is to be trusted, the average female consumer desperately wants the answer to be one of the following:

1. A new nutritional supplement that will transform one’s body without any exercise, nutritional or lifestyle changes
2. A pharmaceutical to do the same
3. A forgotten exercise, which when performed randomly, with poor form and at low intensity, will simultaneously burn fat and build muscle while one sleeps
4. A miracle food not naturally occurring in the civilized world, the absence of which in one’s diet is responsible for all manner of misfortune, from excess body fat to insufferable body odor and everything in between

That market research is depended upon so heavily in the “health and wellness” industry that it’s actually disheartening.

Think about it: there are now some 80,000 separate nutritional supplements marketed in North America for their supposed medicinal properties; a raft of drugs used to lose weight and build muscle, some prescribed legally, some abused illegally, nearly all improperly supervised to say the least; and shelf after shelf of magazines and books singing the praises of this new exercise or that new food.

And, at the end of the day, by and large, not a whole lot of people using these things have changed their bodies. At least, not for the better.

At NutraFit Body, we do things a little differently.

You see, I believe that if you have come to NutraFit Body, you realize that all that other stuff is nonsense. I also believe that you’ve come here looking for the honest truth.

So here’s the truth:

Miracle cures aside, how you train, what you eat and what supplements you take have an enormous impact on whether or not you realize your goals – and in what timeframe. So, you must know how to do all that stuff. And we teach you that at NutraFit Body. However, all that knowledge above is truly of secondary importance.

You see, there is one lesson, above all others that, if you learn and accept it, it will completely change your life. Here’s that lesson:

"The most successful people in every endeavor tend to actively seek mentorship and support"

Read that again! Those who succeed actively seek mentorship and support.

People who have access to experienced mentors and are surrounded by driven peers – and who actively take advantage of those resources – are much more likely to reach their goals than those without either.

There are a host of reasons why, including:

1. Rapid dissemination of wisdom
2. Role modeling (at first, it’s easier to mimic than to learn)
3. Social pressure
4. Inclusion in something greater than oneself
5. Exclusion of others / common enemy theory
6. Validation and acceptance
7. Constructive competition

In short, people with mentors and social support figure things out faster, make fewer mistakes, and are pushed to succeed by those around them. It’s a formula for success, especially in fitness and nutrition.

Results from a Mentorship & Social Support Survey

They wanted to know how much of an impact mentorship and social support actually have on a person’s ability to reach their fat loss goals.

So they asked people to rate their happiness with their own body on a scale from 1 to 5, like so:

1. Extremely unhappy – I’m nowhere near my goal and I doubt I can make it.
2. Unhappy – I’m far from my goal but I’m willing to do something about it.
3. Ambivalent – I’m working toward my goal but I’ve got a ways to go.
4. Happy – I’m close to my goal and making progress.
5. Extremely Happy – I’ve achieved my goal and I’m working on maintenance now.

They then looked only at the people who answered [5. Extremely Happy] in order to measure the impact of various factors on their success.

What stood out immediately was the fact that there wasn’t a significant difference in nutritional knowledge between the people who had achieved their goals (the 5’s) and the people who were still working on it  (the 3’s and 4’s).

The people who achieved their goals knew their stuff (you have to, of course – success is not an accident), but so did many of the “in progress” people. In other words, you need to understand nutrition science – but it isn’t enough to get in great shape.

But then they looked at the response to this question:

“Have you ever had regular mentorship from someone who was in the exact shape you wanted to be in?

[In this context, regular mentorship is defined as constructive and impartial feedback and direction, on a near-daily basis, for a continuous period of at least 3 months.]”

77% of the 5’s said “Yes” (37 out of 48); only 17% of the 3’s and 4’s could say the same.

That’s a remarkable difference. Think about what that means for a second: you need to know a lot about exercise and nutrition, that’s true; but most of all, you need to find someone who’s where you want to be, and lean on them for help.

So here’s the lesson. If you have a good role model in your social circle right now, someone who has already done what you want to do, and someone who can mentor you to success, make the absolute most of it!

If however you don’t already have a mentor like that, FIND ONE IMMEDIATELY.

What mentorship has meant to me personally

I can tell you beyond a shadow of a doubt that the mentorship and support I’ve received in my career is what has made all the difference.

I had always worked out and eaten reasonably healthy but had never seen changes in my body composition. After observing different trainers at my local gym and seeking the advice of friends who had already reached their fitness goals I hired a highly qualified trainer. He taught me exactly how to train, exactly how to eat and most of all, how to prepare myself mentally for all the obstacles that would inevitably come my: managing my time, managing people’s changing perceptions of me, managing their subtle and not-so-subtle attempts to sabotage my progress in order to validate their own lifestyle choices (if you’ve ever had a family member or friend comment negatively on your diet and training, you know what I’m talking about here).

Within 6 months I had reached my goals, by body was completely transformed; I had reduced my body fat immensely and gained lean muscle. I went down two dress sizes and had definition and curves that I had never seen before.

Working with a trainer/coach showed me “the way,” much faster than I would have ever learned it on my own – if I would have ever learned on my own at all. In fact, without his help I would probably still be back scuffling around in the gym, and certainly wouldn’t have had a career in the nutrition field. All this inspired me to become certified in Sports Nutrition and work towards my Personal Trainer Certification.. .

 

Unfortunately, most people find neither mentorship nor support in the world around them.

For whatever reason, most people don’t find good mentorship in their local area.

But these days, it seems to me that

a) Although there are many more fitness professionals in business these days, the general level of knowledge and commitment has actually decreased, and

b) People are much more insular and much less willing to offer help.

And so people turn to the web, where you can find everything you need to know. Right?

Well, maybe not. In fact, I get the sense that amid all the billions of pages of information on the web, something is actually lost. I’ll bet you feel the same way. I bet you feel that perhaps it would be nice if someone – a real person, a real, flesh and blood expert – could just sift through all of it for you and just get to the point?

Wouldn’t it be nice if you could ask a real person, a person who has been there before and seen it all, what really works?

Comparisons with other options . . .

The Weight Watchers and Jenny Craig style programs.  To be honest, these programs have had some degree of success, in spite of their horrible nutrition recommendations. Reason? Mentorship and social support!

Now just imagine what you could get if you took the mentorship and social support aspects, coupled them with the latest in sport nutrition science, stripped out the awful frozen food they sell you, and designed the program to address women’s specific needs. Hmmm.

The South Beach style online memberships. Now, the South Beach diet is certainly better nutritionally than Weight Watchers, but the membership programs leave a lot to be desired.

Would you believe me if I told you that there is a call center based in New York that provides these “online membership services” to every big, mainstream diet author? That they simply “rebrand” the exact same service for South Beach, the Sonoma Diet, and, ahem, “Shaq’s Big Family Challenge”, among countless others – even diets that supposedly contradict one another or offer something “revolutionary”? Sadly, ‘tis true.

In fact, nearly every author publishing a diet book through a major publishing house is urged to partner with this company. I can just imagine those discussions: Let’s outsource our coaching to this call center to capitalize on this “revenue stream.” My goodness – that’s as cynical as it gets.

Online support is a great thing, but don’t you think it should be given by people who actually believe in what they’re doing. You know, by people who live and breathe the lessons they teach? Who aren’t following some cookie-cutter, assembly line approach. Who aren’t spewing 35 different diet philosophies simultaneously?

Working with a personal trainer. The sad truth is that most personal trainers (though certainly not all) know virtually nothing about nutrition – and without proper nutrition, their training plans go to waste. I was lucky, the trainer I used way back when, was well educated in Nutrition and knew it had to be coupled with training to achieve maximum results.

In fact, two recent studies have demonstrated that even when training with high level coaches for 5 hours a week, folks saw minimal results. How minimal? A mere 1% decrease in body fat over 12 weeks.

Why? Because the coach was only able to use exercise techniques (i.e., no diet changes), and he was only able to train the subjects for 5 hours each week. Well, guess what – that’s exactly how most personal trainers work – and they’re lucky if they get 3 hours a week with a client! So personal trainers, take heed: without proper nutrition, the pursuit of fat loss is hopeless.

Having others around who have the same questions and frustrations (NutraFit Body Group Programs), who have the same goals and desires, and who are doing the same things as you are – it’s all enormously helpful, because it reduces the panic and fear that people feel when they think they’re alone. The fact is that you’re not only not alone – you’re surrounded by people in the same boat as you, and you’re led by someone who have done everything you’re trying to do.

One thing you’ll realize is that, sooner or later, there will be social pressure to return to your old ways. That’s why it’s so important to be part of something larger than yourself. You will need some new friends to turn to. Regular and consistent contact with your coach and others, who are on your team and believe in your ability to make real change, can give you the confidence to stay motivated long term.

With support, you can maintain the discipline to use your brain and your body to take back your health and your life. You’ll need to know some people who’ve been through it before, and you’ll need to know some people going through it with you.

        NutraFit Body Offers initial training and nutrition plans. As soon as you begin your NutraFit body Program, you’ll get an initial training and nutrition plan to follow, because at the very beginning, the easiest way to learn is to simply follow instructions. So we put together a first phase plan, based on the NutraFit Body principles, to get you off to a running start. But NutraFit Body also . . .

      Guides you through the process of creating your own training and nutrition plans. The idea here is not to make you dependent on a coach for some indefinite period of time. The idea is to make you self-sufficient. So to do that, we teach you all the fundamentals and then guide you through the process of creating your own nutrition plans. We will help you tweak your plan to find workable solutions to effectively execute and meet your fat loss goals – your specific roadmap. We’ll assist you every step of the way to make sure you do it right, so that by the time you’re done with the program you will have both the confidence and experience to design the perfect plan for you, time and time again.

      Teaches habits and principles. One little known secret – the people in the best shape RARELY use plans at all. Here’s a great example, I follow a written diet plan for no more than a few weeks a year, but I’m able to stay lean year round.

How do I do it? Simple: repetition of habits and principles. I have found sustainable healthy lifestyle choices and made them a seamless part of life. Basically, the idea is to gradually change both your habits and your environment so that failure is impossible – because if failure is impossible, success is inevitable. This is the secret to having a lean and fit body for the rest of your life. And when you get this down, eating well and looking good become almost effortless.

Krista, a police officer and powerlifter shows off the transformation that took her from
26% body fat down to 10%.

 

Autum used the NutraFit Body principles to get into the best shape
of her life for her 30th birthday.

“I recently celebrated my 30th birthday and wanted to mark this milestone in a big way. I chose to fulfill 2 major goals. One was in the form of a professional photo shoot. The 2nd was to prove to myself I was stronger than I had given myself credit for and that I could break free of my self imposed and genetic restraints. I wanted to achieve a level of leanness I had once thought impossible for my body - and I would do so in a very healthy way.

 Rebecca lost 38lbs during her transformation and made
her college soccer team — as a starter!

“I know many young women who are discontent with their bodies and health, but feel discouraged and helpless to make a change. Nobody ever thought that I would be able to seize control of my life and change my body, but with the help of the right information, I did.

I never thought I had what it takes to earn the body I always wanted. I have achieved and surpassed my goals- I rarely get sick anymore, I have become much faster, stronger, and more agile, and I feel, perform, and look great! It has been an amazing journey, and it is an incredible triumph!
