“When I started working with Zach I felt burnt out on tracking, frustrated at knowing what to do but not being able to do it, and caught in a cycle of all-or-nothing dieting. From the get-go, Zach really took the time to understand my goals and tailor his approach - whether it was strategies for work travel, ways to fuel without dedicating half my weekend to meal prep, and ensuring that I took the time to reflect when plans went awry or an unexpected challenge came up. I compete in a weight-class sport and moving down 2 classes without losing strength was also super-important. After achieving my weight-class goals I spent about 6 months being coached at maintenance calories and this truly was a game-changer. I’ve lost and regained the same 50 pounds a handful of times, but I’ve never intentionally eaten to maintain and I learned so much from Zach. No more anxiety about weigh-ins because I understand the regular day-to-day weight fluctuations, easing into more flexible tracking without going off the rails, knowing my minimums when life gets overwhelming, and simply cementing my confidence that I can.”
