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.

How would you like to have a family member shower you with compliments like the one Kelly heard this weekend? (SWIPE FOR HIS PHOTOS)

I'm calling it the Holy Sh** effect, a common side effect of Calvert Fitness coaching 😉

DM me if you want me to Holy Sh** all over you, too.

The other day, I asked what the dumbest diet you ever followed was.

And a few vegan advocates chimed in, suggesting you’d go into immediate cardiac arrest, face down in your frying pan, if you dared eat some bacon on the regular.

I’ve got nothing against veganism – in fact, we’ve had many clients succeed with it. They often do it for ethical, environmental or religious reasons, and more power to them.

What I do have a problem with is the line of thinking that one approach to dieting is “bad for you” and another is good.

That's often pedaled by folks who get their nutrition know-how from Netflix documentaries...

There’s only one variable that all successful diets need to succeed, and I’m going to share that with you today!

It's the key variable to how I can eat things like delicious fast food burgers while staying lean year-round, and how the folks in my program have been doing the same.

At the end of the day, it’s far less about 𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 you eat than you may have been led to believe.

The truth is, there are no “magic” fat-loss diets.

It all comes down to something called your 𝘿𝙖𝙞𝙡𝙮 𝘾.𝘼.𝙋. 𝙏𝙝𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙡𝙙 – this is the proper amount 𝗔𝗡𝗗 ratio of Calories and Protein specific to your body and your goals.

And once you dial in this beautiful combination, the fat falls off, even if burgers sneak their way into your diet regularly.

In studies comparing low carb to low fat and everything in between, as long as calories and protein are equal, they all work the same.

And the (Literal) icing on the cake is that fat falls off while enjoying your favourite foods on the regular.

Just ask Brett, who’s officially torched 30 lbs of stubborn belly fat as of this morning.

He eats his favourite breakfast of eggs benedict with cream in his coffee every morning (Shock*Horror*Saturated Fats)

Anyways, I don’t want to keep you here all day, but I just want you to know that it 𝗜𝗦 possible to torch your stubborn belly-fat without starving on a stupid diet.

And if you want help, my inbox is always open.

Shades of Grey In Fitness... Before I became a da

Shades of Grey In Fitness...

Before I became a dad, I viewed fitness as black and white.

You were healthy if you ate healthy and busted your butt at the gym or you weren’t healthy if you didn’t do those things consistently.

I begun to realize there’s a give and take between healthy behaviours and healthy decisions.

What do I mean by that?

I learned some of the healthiest things you can do are measured by how much they add to your life, not just how much they subtract from your weight.

When my second daughter was born, something had to give and that was my workouts at a commercial gym.

I just didn’t have the time in my day, juggling the demands of coaching and parenting, to commute to and from a gym most days.

I believe being home to spend time with my family in the evening has more benefits than what an optimal workout at a gym would provide.

Of course, there are limitations to this, and you need to be able to recognize a good trade.

If you’re justifying eating like crap because your kids eat that way, that’s a cop out.

Your kids don’t always listen to what you tell them, but they’re always watching.

Are you setting a good example?

If you’re tired all the time and feel like you’re about to have a heart attack going up a flight of stairs, take that as a premature wake-up call.

I’d make the time to focus on you or you'll be making time for a health scare later.

We all have the same 24 hours in a day.

And despite what you hear, you only need 30 minutes to get a good workout in.

You only need to make minor, sustainable changes to your diet, not drastic ones.

You only need to get to bed earlier and wake up earlier so you can sneak it in.

Being the healthiest version of you possible is the best thing you can give your kids.

As a dad, there are many things I’ve changed about my life in my 30s vs 20s.

I’d be lying if I said I didn’t miss some of those things.

But the balance of fitness and fatherhood is something I wish for every man out there.

You'll become better for it.
