Fit2Fat2Fit… Personal Trainer gains 60+lbs
Have you heard about the Personal Trainer who is gaining in excess of 60+lbs on purpose? That is right – On Purpose! Since May, Drew Manning has gained about 70lbs and he’s not done yet. Good Morning America featured Drew Manning this morning and you can watch the clip ==> HERE.
Drew has always been known as the “fit guy” and now he is on a journey he is calling Fit 2 Fat 2 Fit. The plan is to spend six months eating unhealthy and not exercising then spend the following six months getting back into shape. His intention was to gain 60lbs and he still has about 4 weeks left and he has exceeded the 60lbs. I guess the big question is WHY? Drew Manning wanted to experience first hand what it was like to be overweight and discover how tough it is to lose the weight. Drew’s goal is to show others how to get fit ~ again. This is an extreme measure and a bold move on his part. During his interview on GMA he mentioned that he didn’t plan on the emotional and mental effects that have came along with the weight gain. In this short of period Drew’s blood pressure, glucose levels, cholesterol levels and triglycerides have been affected and this alone can show how people can be affected for years of eating a SAD Diet (Standard American Diet) consisting of highly processed foods. Manning wants to show people that living a healthy lifestyle can CHANGE all those RISK FACTORS!
Being a Personal Trainer and Weight Loss Coach focused on Fat Loss and Emotional Eating myself, this is a bold move for Drew Manning. This is one place I never want to go back to. See I have been there, done that… I was the FAT/Overweight Child, struggling with weight all my childhood, teen and college years. After getting married and having children I always struggled with that 5-15lbs yo-yo. I really didn’t start getting fit and taking care of myself until my thirties and more specifically my mid-thirties and now in my forties I can say I am in better shape than I have ever been. I commend Drew Manning for taking this daring move and help show others how drastic you the SAD Diet can affect our bodies and our health.
I am with Drew Manning as far as wanting to show people how to get fit, transform their bodies and their lives. It is possible and it isn’t easy. Where I am different than Drew is that I have experienced being overweight, eating a highly processed sugar loaded diet, feeling lethargic, moody and lacking energy. I have dealt with extreme emotional eating and years of horrible eating and lack of exercise and now I would never go back. Having vitality, strength, energy and good health is so important to me!
