I chose to work with Matt because I had been faithfully working out 5/6 times a week for 10 plus years, but never really nailed the nutrition part. It was not a lack of self-control, for me, it was knowing what my body needs to properly fuel it. I had been a classic example of under eating and working out too much, yet I was not seeing result, and then getting frustrated and giving up for a little while. Only to start all over again. Over and over again. Not seeing the changes in my body that I was looking for, nor seeing improvements in the gym, was a hard pill to swallow, especially as I felt like I was working so hard. Nutrition consultation can be expensive, especially for those on a budget, but I knew in my heart is was worth it. There were many different options Matt offered. I ended up going with the most economical one. At first, I was not sure it was enough, but Matt quickly proved otherwise. He talked with me for over an hour in our first one-to-one session, which was way more than I had paid for, to really get to know MY body and what I needed. I have PCOS, so I wanted to make sure he was aware of this, and would take that into account in my meal plans. He was very knowledgeable and took this into account when planning for me. I had questions right away, and a lot of them, so I emailed him after our first session, and he was very quick to answer back in detail. I was ready to go! I found that changing routines and counting macros is more work than I anticipated. It was easy to slack off, especially as I am a teacher and I started over the summer. However, Matt would always check in, to make sure I was staying on point. He would log on to My Fitness Pal and look at what I was eating. He was well aware I was not going to be able to follow the plan to the “T” every single day, so he would provide feedback when I went “off plan”, so I knew how to make improvements, if they were needed. This was HUGE for me. I also found that the accountability piece of him checking in went a long way. I learned so much from Matt that I actually signed up for an additional month, to make sure I get where I want to go. It was well worth every penny!
