Hi, I'm Mitch.

Losing 60 pounds in my 20s helped me go from obese video game and junk food addict to the coach I am today.

I live with my wife, Brittany, two daughters, Quinn and Grace, and a vomit-happy cat named Chelsea.

That's me in a nutshell.

I could tell you more, but here's how I can help you, which is what truly matters: I'm a fitness coach for busy parents like myself, helping them juggle the demands of adulthood while dropping a couple pant sizes and up to 20-30 pounds in 90 days or less.

You aren’t a bodybuilder… so no need to eat (a

You aren’t a bodybuilder… so no need to eat (and prep) like one.

Imagine this scenario..

You sign up with a coach.

Get a meal plan that tells you to eat the same bloody things day after day, and oh, make sure you eat every 3 hours.

But eating 5-6 small meals a day does not increase your metabolism...It only increases your HUNGER and ANXIETY.

Having to prep that many meals adds to your plate (literally and figuratively)

You have a job and family responsibilities to manage nowadays.

I'm in the same boat.

We ain’t got time for Tupperware, if you feel me!?

The first day you “skip or space out a meal” might feel like torture, but I find the process makes everything simpler once you adjust.

You can eat bigger meals and it gives you calorie “room” for the evening when you actually have time to enjoy the food you eat.

You aren’t a toddler who needs snacks all day 😊

Second, it tends to just leave you wanting more.

Small, frequent meals lends itself to thoughts like “I am constantly thinking about food” or “I am always hungry”

You haven’t found the elixir that is our MetFlex Method where your metabolism is running on all cylinders and you can burn fat while sedentary and churn through carbs when active. And not feel starved between meals.

So here’s the truth:

Eating less frequently tends to make weight loss easier, improves mental focus in the early part of the day when you need it and better manages blood sugar so you don't crash and burn.

So how do you figure out what to eat to keep you from snacking all day ?

You break up with your diet & learn to listen to your body.

Need a starting point? Send me your food diary today and I’ll share with you exactly how you can change things to go from fat storing to fat burning mode overnight.

Why that "old faithful" diet isn't working this ti

Why that "old faithful" diet isn't working this time?

Maybe you’ve heard this situation before?

You go back to a specific diet that helped drop those initial 10 pounds in the past, but trying it again gets ya nowhere.

I wanted to shed some light on the real reason for this.

Because naturally it's easy to get frustrated when, instead of seeing changes in the mirror and some movement on the scale, nothing happens.

So we start looking for alternatives in all the wrong places.

Google searches..

YouTube..

Karen at the office..

That one old high school classmate that randomly slid into the messages with a pyramid scheme product...

They assume the diet no longer works for them because of a few reasons...

Maybe they don’t have the same metabolism in middle age that they had the last time they tried...

Their hormones have changed with age...

They can’t handle carbs anymore...

And while those reasons make sense on paper…

The main reason this diet no longer works is none of the above, at least directly.

The great news is the answer is actually simpler than any of the above too.

At the end of the day, our weight loss is determined by the calories we consume relative to what we burn.

You probably have some understanding of that concept, but here’s where it gets a little trickier.

Our lifestyles also change as we get older. We have more stress, sleep poorly more often, sit a helluva lot more and stop doing the things that naturally kept our calorie burn up in our younger years.

It doesn’t mean your metabolism has changed drastically, but it does mean your approach must change to make up the difference.

And by knowing and implementing this new way of looking at weight loss as a simple formula (don't worry, it doesn't involve cardio to do the job), my clients have been able to drop the pounds like they used to without cutting carbs, running on the treadmill every night or buying random supplements from dear old Karen.

And maybe you’d like to accomplish the same thing without doing all the stuff you hate that doesn't work, too?

If so, comment below with “NEW” and I’ll be in touch to learn more about your goals and how and if we can help you get unstuck.

It’s true… you work harder than me and my clie

It’s true… you work harder than me and my clients.

I wouldn't last a week on #keto, so your month-long effort deserves serious props.

But, ultimately, I just want the best for you…

And that means telling you some good news real quick today…

You don’t need to be “hardcore” and lift like a #bodybuilder for hours at a time to trim your midsection.

Nor do you need to survive on kale salads and equal portioned cups of your own tears to lose those pounds.

Most people assume that #weightloss should always be hard, but in reality, less is more.

As humans we tend to be able to do things for longer and more consistently when they’re something we can sustain.

Because, the truth is, fat loss is a gradual process.

That 8-pound loss a week into keto wasn’t much actual body fat.

The truth is you didn’t gain the pounds you want to lose in a month, so you can’t expect to shed it all in a 30-day crash diet, no matter how hard you try.

Weight loss habits need to be built to last.

Slow is smooth, and smooth ends up being fast.

Rather than the alternative of yo-yo dieting and never getting to your goal.

That's far slower and more painful in the long run.

Now I’m not sure if this is something you’d be interested in...

But I’d be happy to map out some sustainable strategies for you to get started with.
