Tired of so-called ‘experts’ who tell you how to eat better and improve your condition? If so, this article is your antidote. Here we share 35 tips, ideas and strategies that real customers – people like you – have used to get into the best shape of their lives.
++++
Imagine a life where you .
…to feel physically and mentally strong, able to meet any challenge without worrying that your energy level or body weight will get in the way.
…can run around with your children or grandchildrenwithout feeling pain, excited or tired; and you can do it again the next day.
…agitated book a beach vacation without wondering how you look (or feel) in a swimsuit, walking along the beach.
…look forward to have your photo taken without wondering “who is that person, and when did they start looking like this?”
It is not a dream.
Here at Precision Nutrition we have worked with thousands of customers and heard their deepest reasons for wanting to change their bodies and their lives.
(You can read some of them below, you can even see some of their photos).
Strange as it seems, most of them did not believe that change was really possible. Not in the context of their uniquely busy, often stressful life.
When they started working with us, their goals looked more like fantasies. Even the simple ones – like wanting to get off the floor without saying “umphhhh” – felt out of reach.
But watch what happened afterwards.
They lost body weight and fat. They built strength. They have recovered their health. And they took control of their fitness, some for the first time in their lives.
These days it is the women who project your confidence and walk for a long time. The men with flat stomachs and perfectly clean health.
So we decided to ask them:
How did you do it?
Their answers from the real world were so good that we decided to share them today.
In this article you will learn:
- The common obstacles that many of our customers face.
- The fears that many of them felt when they started.
- How they overcame their fears passed their obstacles.
- And how you can do the same.
Before I started, however, I wanted to let you know that we will be opening places in our Precision Nutrition Coaching program soon.
You see, twice a year we work with small groups of men and women who are interested in looking better and feeling better. Over the course of 12 months, we help them get into the best shape of their lives . and stay that way forever.
We have tested Precision Nutrition Coaching for the past 15 years with nearly 100,000 customers. In addition, several peer-reviewed research reports have documented the safety and effectiveness of our approach.
Watch this short video for a taste of the great things we’ve helped them achieve:

Curious about how you can experience these kinds of results yourself?
Let’s transfer it to our graduates of Precision Nutrition Coaching.
Do you have trouble getting started?
Don’t think, just do it.
“If it’s your time, and you’re sitting on the fence – you want to do it, you’re thinking of doing it, you’re not sure if you should do it – jump off that fence,” says Patrick, 35, who lost pounds with Precision Nutrition.
“Give it everything you have; why sit down if you can be part of life?”
Patrick’s transformation
Lost 152 pounds and 20% body fat!
- Age 35 years
- Lost weight: 152 pounds (from 417 pounds to 265 pounds)
- % Lost body fat: 20% (from 39.1% to 19.1%)
- Total number of lost inches: 73 inches (from 337 inches to 264 inches)
Disabled with every weight loss program and tip do you see?
Ignore the regular advice.
Unrealistic (and, frankly, insulting) click bait such as “Flatten your belly in 5 minutes a day” and “Image your butt while standing still” are meant to stimulate the sale of advertisements, not to get you in shape.
Most of our customers, once they see the positive, practice-based approach to Precision Nutrition, realize that the negative tone of health and fitness media has been stopping them for years.
Find reliable friends or acquaintances who have lost weight and do what they did.
Why reinvent the wheel? When you see a true success story unfold before your eyes, copycat is gone. That’s how 46-year-old Sharon D’Arcy found Precision Nutrition, and she eventually lost over 30 pounds.
(Click here for her story, which contains a bit of surprising inspiration.)
Sharon’s transformation
Lost 33 pounds and 13% body fat!
- Age 46 years
- Lost weight: 33 lbs (from 151 lbs to 118 lbs)
- % Lost body fat: 13% (from 28% to 15%)
- Total number of lost inches: 18.5 inches (from 209.1 inches to 190.6 inches)

Make it about your journey.
Do not assume that you have to be ‘perfect’ or ‘special’ to be fit and healthy. 48-year-old Alicia had been on the diet mobile for so long that she started to think that change was simply not possible for her.
One day her way of thinking changed. “Why not me?” She wondered. She stuck that mantra to her mirror.
Every day she visualized her success in a conscious, conscious way. Forty-nine pounds later, Alicia went from size 16 to size 6 and became our $ 25,000 grand prize winner.
Alicia’s transformation
Lost 49 pounds and 46 total centimeters!
- Age: 48 years
- Lost weight: 49 lbs (from 181 lbs to 132 lbs)
- Total number of lost inches: 46 inches (from 219 inches to 173 inches)
Are you struggling to become motivated and inspired?
Stop living in “coulda, woulda, shoulda”.
Allow yourself to fully concentrate on what you can do now to make real progress. Not in a hypothetical future where everything is perfect.
Just do your best with what you have now. It is what Sharon (above) allowed to lose weight and fight cancer – all in the same year.
Do you have reason.
Keep your specific motivation in mind, whether it becomes fit enough to exercise with your children or looks great on your wedding day. The latter is what helped 32-year-old Melissa lose 55 pounds.
“The whole time I had this image of myself on my wedding day in my head,” says Melissa. “Long walk, feel great – feel stately instead of soft on the edges.”
Melissa’s transformation
Lost 55 pounds and 16% body fat!
- Age 32 years
- Lost weight: 55 pounds (from 231 pounds to 176 pounds)
- % Lost body fat: 16% (from 34% to 18%)
- Total number of lost inches: 38 inches (from 242 inches to 204 inches)
Feel more than you see.
Of course, wanting to look better, motivates most customers to sign up for Precision Nutrition Coaching. But it is not what leads them to see oh-my-god-you-see-amazing transformations.
Healthy eating habits ultimately improve how they feel – how they move, think and generally enjoy life – which leads to continuous healthy eating and tens of pounds lost over time.
Focus on the joy of movement.
“Enjoy your body,” says Sharon (above). “Enjoy movement. Be proud of what you can do. “
This deep appreciation for physical health is what enables many customers to maintain fitness regimes and weight loss over time.
Recognize real pleasure.
Most customers of Precision Nutrition realize that they have been eating mindlessly for a long time – packing calories without actually tasting the food -.
“There is nothing inherently wrong with the dessert,” explains Yano, 35, who lost 76 pounds with Precision Nutrition.
Of course, he still occasionally enjoys the dessert, and finds that having it once is the key to really appreciating it.
Yano’s transformation
Lost 76 pounds and 20.9% body fat!
- Age 35 years
- Lost weight: 76 lbs (from 256 lbs to 180 lbs)
- % Lost body fat: 20.9% (from 34.1% to 13.2%)
- Waist inches lost: 10 inches (from 43 inches to 33 inches)

Do you feel that the ‘real you’ is lost somewhere along the way?
Pay attention to your environment.
By recognizing how their environment may have caused unhealthy habits – like 29-year-old Sarah’s years of work in fast food restaurants – many Precision Nutrition customers can discover why they are and start the power of how to change it.
Sarah’s transformation
Lost 52 pounds and 14.2% body fat!
- Age: 29 years
- Lost weight: 52 lbs (from 191 lbs to 139 lbs)
- % Lost body fat: 14.2% (from 26.3% to 12.1%)
- Total number of lost inches: 50 inches (from 239 inches to 189 inches)
Don’t fall for mentality.
“It appears that many people have health and weight problems, just like in the past,” says Yano (above).
“And often they don’t want bad food; they just do it because everyone – friends, family, the people around them – does it. That was my problem for a long time.”
Dive under the surface.
We can go through the top of our dietary problems and see some small, fleeting changes on the scale . or we can really go into our relationship with food and improve it over the long term.
For Sarah (above), allowing herself to become vulnerable while going through the Precision Nutrition program, became her greatest strength and opened her up to the process of self-examination:
“How have trials brought me to where I am now and how have I dealt with it?” Sarah wondered. “What do I really care about? What gives me joy? How can I get more from that? “
On the way, Sarah lost 52 pounds.
Say goodbye to the old you.
This is not a meaningless cliché. We have discovered that many people have an invisible fear of losing themselves if they lose weight a lot.
Mourn consciously about your old self while you greet healthier. Many Precision Nutrition customers were able to recognize and minimize certain fears in this way.
Stay connected to what you like about yourself.
“Don’t forget that you deserve all the great insights, power gains, friendships, learning – whatever you get out of this program when you find and discover a new and best version of yourself,” says Sarah (above).
“You are worthy.”
Are you exhausted when you think about how much work you still have to do?
Know that everyone – everyone – has to work on it.
Fit, healthy people who look like they’ve come up with everything should also do their best to eat well.
We know it because Precision Nutrition coaches talk a lot about it themselves.
Clients say it is comforting to get to know them because you can see how they are so focused on learning, growing and becoming the best versions of themselves.
De-emphasize the “work” in “work out”.
So many Precision Nutrition customers say that one result of our program – and something that helps them maintain an optimal training schedule – will see movement as play, as fun, as release.
Find the activities that you love and moving your body will be something you are looking for, not afraid.
Let it be easy.
Like many Precision Nutrition customers, 34-year-old Chrystalene beat herself up when she failed and thought she should be able to get fit without a little help.
Fortunately, she learned through Precision Nutrition Coaching: ‘It doesn’t always have to be difficult. And it’s great to look for support. There is probably a way to lighten your heavy thing, and figuring out how to do it is worth it. “
Her results – 86 pounds lost and a $ 25,000 Grand Prize from Precision Nutrition – show what is possible if you relax a little and lean on the people around you.
Chrystalene’s transformation
Lost 86 pounds and 55 total centimeters!
- Age: 34 years
- Lost weight: 86 pounds (from 259 pounds to 173 pounds)
- Total number of lost inches: 55 inches (from 269 inches to 214 inches)
Exchange “comparison” for inspiration.
Forget envy and intimidation. Customers of Precision Nutrition notice that they can stop the program by saying “I could never be” and start to see the success stories of others as inspiration.
Many Precision Nutrition customers come to the program with important health issues that need to be resolved. Talk to them and let their energy feed you.
Take small steps every day
It’s easy to think that you have to make all changes at once. But small steps really make sense.
That’s what the 51-year-old Mark, who lost 42 pounds and won a $ 25,000 Grand Prize, learned from Precision Nutrition Coaching.
Mark says: “Be patient. Just appear every day and concentrate on making small changes consistently.”
Mark’s transformation
Lost 42 pounds and 32 total inches!
- Age: 51 years
- Lost weight: 42 lbs (from 192 lbs to 150 lbs)
- Total number of lost inches: 32 inches (from 237 inches to 205 inches)
Know a lot about health and nutrition, but can’t it seem to change?
Redefine “know”.
“It’s about realizing that no matter how smart I am and how much I know about exercise, if I don’t live it, I don’t really know it,” says Kevin, 40, who lost 37 pounds on the Precision Nutrition program.
Kevin’s transformation
Lost 37 pounds and 12.8% body fat!
- Age 40 years
- Lost weight: 37 lbs (from 177 lbs to 140 lbs)
- % Lost body fat: 12.8% (from 20.1% to 7.3%)
- Waist inches lost: 21 inches (from 226 inches to 205 inches)
Let others take the helm.
Many Precision Nutrition customers know a lot about health and nutrition that are included in our program. In fact, many of them are fitness instructors and health professionals themselves. Why does the weight stick to it?
Their light bulb moment: relinquishing control to coaches, offering practical lifestyle advice, daily habits and – this is the key – accountability that is needed to create real change.
Find your route in the supermarket.
“Knowing” is not always the same as “doing”. So many people who try to “eat clean” are derailed by merely seeing processed food.
Precision Nutrition customers learn how to navigate through the supermarket (or restaurants or their workplaces) to prevent temptation.
The secret: stay on the edge. High-calorie chips, cookies, pasta, sauces and dressings are in the middle. The good things like vegetables, meat, eggs and fruit are stored on the outside, away from the aisles.
That’s what 46-year-old John learned, and he lost 106 pounds.
John’s transformation
Lost 106 pounds and 13% body fat!
- Age 46 years
- Lost weight: 106 pounds (from 332 pounds to 226 pounds)
- % Lost body fat: 13% (from 39% to 26%)
- Waist inches lost: 12 inches (from 50 inches to 38 inches)
Find accountability.
“The truth is that I probably knew three-quarters of the Precision Nutrition Coaching dietary recommendations before I started,” says Peter, 52, who dropped 33 pounds with Precision Nutrition.
“But the secret to losing weight and maintaining a healthy weight is consistency,” he says. Have someone breathe in your neck and you will make healthy choices as your habit.
Peter’s transformation
Lost 33 pounds and 11% body fat!
- Age: 52 years
- Lost weight: 33 lbs (from 180 lbs to 147 lbs)
- % Lost body fat: 11% (from 18% to 7%)
- Waist inches lost: 5 inches (from 35 inches to 30 inches)

Can’t you figure out how to handle this in your busy life?
Realize that there is no such thing as “too busy”.
The Precision Nutrition program is practically tailor-made for people who think they “just don’t have the time”. They are often our most successful customers.
Lisanne, 39, lost 38 pounds in the Precision Nutrition program while taking care of three small children – including a breastfeeding baby – and was certified as a yoga instructor and doula.
Other customers work multiple tasks or have to travel five days a week and never know where they will be staying. They tell us that Precision Nutrition coaching ultimately eases their schedule by giving structure to their lives.
Lisanne’s transformation
Lost 38 pounds and 14% body fat!
- Age: 39 years
- Lost weight: 38 lbs (from 160 lbs to 122 lbs)
- % Lost body fat: 14% (from 36% to 22%)
- Total number of lost inches: 41 inches (from 229 inches to 188 inches)
Focus on what you can do now.
Forget what you can’t do. Find out what you are currently capable of and build from there.
“I had to find it within myself to accept that it was okay to do things a little differently,” says Richard, 49, who dropped 103 pounds in our year-long program.
“I had to accept that it was good to do what I was capable of.”
Ultimately, Precision Nutrition customers internalize this mantra: Start wherever you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.
Richard’s transformation
Lost 103 pounds and 20% body fat!
- Age: 49 years
- Lost weight: 103 pounds (from 318 pounds to 215 pounds)
- % Lost body fat: 20% (from 40.9% to 20.9%)
- Total number of lost inches: 30 inches (from 285 inches to 255 inches)
Imagine the health role model you want for your children.
Now that’s it.
“I want my children to be healthy and happy and proud of the way they live their lives,” says Lisanne (above). “It is not enough for me to support that idea – I have to be an example.”
Do not confuse selfishness with self-love.
Many Precision Nutrition customers are concerned that setting priorities takes them away from the people they need, potentially damaging professional or personal relationships.
Then they discover that the opposite is true: by taking care of themselves by tackling their diet and lifestyle, they look better and feel better – and that actually makes them more accessible and present to other people.
Stop thinking that you have to devote your entire life to losing weight.
Of course, some of the changes you need to make to get healthy are fundamental. But the truth is that you only need a few hours a week to build a great body.
By getting the right kind of help and following simple but powerful daily exercises, everyone can lose weight, become healthy and feel better.
That’s what 34-year-old Kia realized, and she lost 61 pounds.
Kia’s transformation
Lost 61 pounds and 19% body fat!
- Age: 34 years
- Lost weight: 61 lbs (from 199 lbs to 138 lbs)
- % Lost body fat: 19% (from 37% to 18%)
- Total number of lost inches: 50 inches (from 252 inches to 202 inches)

Sometimes get frustrated and then stop?
Recognize that progress is usually not a straight line.
If you measure success by how much you weigh each morning, you must give up before you can identify healthy habits or see real change.
Almost as a rule, our customers’ progress charts look like a crazy, twisted line of progress, regression, more progress, and lessons we’ve learned along the way (we know it because our software follows it for them to follow all the time )).
A year later lost dozens of kilos – forever. Definitely worth the ride in a roller coaster.
Stop blaming external factors.
“What I learned was that I had to take responsibility for my own decisions,” says Heather, 37, who lost 47 pounds on the Precision Nutrition program.
“I really had to become myself. I learned the difference between thinking, “I have to do x” and “I choose to do x” and “I do x.”
Heather’s transformation

- Age: 37 years
- Lost weight: 47 pounds (from 219 pounds to 172 pounds)
- % Lost body fat: 10% (from 38% to 28%)
- Total number of lost inches: 43 inches (from 253 inches to 210 inches)
Ensure that health programs are tailored to your needs.
Too often, people trying to get fit become discouraged because exercise and nutrition programs are not flexible, not designed for their lives.
That is what Precision Nutrition coaches help with. We help you to compile a ‘manual’ with instructions for use for your life.
49-year-old Cheryl lost 68 pounds – despite being diagnosed with degenerative disk disease halfway through the Precision Nutrition program. No heavy lifting? No problem. We helped her adjust the training.
“In some ways, the diagnosis was a relief,” says Cheryl. “In any case, it was good that I admitted that I had not done what others in the gym did.”

Rewrite the basics.
“When I was in the middle of it, losing weight was central to my thoughts; now everything is a habit, ”says 36-year-old Katey, who, despite the fact that she had hardly met the Precision Nutrition program for the first 90 days, lost no less than 116 pounds.
The key? Allow yourself to make really fundamental lifestyle changes. “It feels much more like life,” she says.
Katey’s transformation

Do not allow a cookie to derail you.
“I realized that every time I” messed up “I could get a clean slate because it was about my healthy lifestyle and not just about diet,” says Patricia, 46, who lost 69 pounds with Precision Nutrition.
“Precision Nutrition Coaching has taught me habits and changed the way I view my body and the food I put into it. It’s a life plan and I know I can make it forever. “
Patricia’s transformation

- % Lost body fat: 25% (from 50% to 25%)
- Total number of lost inches: 35 inches (from 250 inches to 215 inches)
Do not expect continuous enthusiasm.
Look, sometimes it’s a slog – and that goes for everyone.
“I learned that sometimes you have to drag your ass to the gym, even if you don’t feel like going, and it was a huge burden that was taken away from me,” says Kim, 25, who lost 24 pounds with Precision Nutrition.
“And although the training may be slow and uninspired in the beginning, once you get there, it’s super easy to finish.”
Kim’s transformation
Lost 24 pounds and 16.3% body fat!
- Age: 25 years
- Lost weight: 24 lbs (from 160 lbs to 136 lbs)
- % Lost body fat: 16.3% (from 29.5% to 13.2%)
Remember that change can surprise you.
42-year-old Javier lost £ 60 and took home a grand prize of $ 25,000 at the end of his Precision Nutrition Coaching program.
But until he saw his last photos, he did not fully recognize the change he had undergone.
In fact, just a few weeks before the photo shoot, he threatened to stop, and it was only the encouragement of his coach that kept him going.
Javier’s lesson: “remember that the road to success is paved with failures.”
Javier’s transformation
Lost 60 pounds and 32 total centimeters!
- Age: 42 years
- Lost weight: 60 lbs (from 245 lbs to 185 lbs)
- Total number of lost inches: 32 inches (from 269 inches to 237 inches)
