My name is David Shaw and I’m a YMCA fit gym instructor from South Wales. I’ve been coaching people for over three years and have had great pleasure watching people transform physically and emotionally as their self confidence grew.
In my teen years I never did any sport and rarely exerted myself to the point where I let myself get to around 17st, I was miserable and hated the way I looked and wondered how this weight just crept up on me! When I left school I joined a gym and started to weight train nonstop and I must admit I was a pretty strong 18 year old but I was still big as I hated cardio work (who doesn’t?) and still ate like crap!
It wasn’t until I started to read everything I could get my hands on regarding nutrition I started to understand my mistakes and totally transformed myself!
Over the course of 18 months I went from 17st to a mere 11st! It looks great on paper but it was hell! I didn’t touch a carbohydrate for a year, I stopped drinking! I basically stopped doing anything fun as I was so concerned about what I can and can’t eat, it drove my friends crazy!
I then had a moment of clarity and thought:
“What’s the point of losing all this weight and looking and feeling great when I don’t even enjoy the simple things in life like having a drink on the weekends with my friends?”
I’ve been through hell with weight loss and know how hard and frustrating it can be when your 100% strict and still nothing is happening and I bet you’ve tried all the diets out there, I know I have! I’ve experimented with some crazy diets and I still do as I like to keep on top of my game so I know exactly what to do when I’m helping others!
That’s basically me! A human guinea pig doing the experimenting so you don’t have to!
