Quotables

“When you just lose weight for the scale, you look great in clothes but if you get naked or get in a bathing suit, not so much because you’ve dieted your muscle away.”

“I specialize in helping them to change their composition, which means gain muscle, lose body fat, and you end up with a beautiful hard body in the end.”

“These transformations are miraculous, but they’re very doable. You just need to have the right tools and the right instruction for your specific body.”

“All these healthy foods that we’ve heard are great to eat. I’m not telling you not to eat them, I’m just telling you now, we need to measure and count them.”

“When you start to eat the right macronutrients tailored to your body and it’s lean, you’re gonna get hungry more often – that actually stimulates metabolism.”

“If you do not drink water, your liver can not do the job of metabolizing the fat to get rid of it and that’s why just by drinking more water, you’re gonna lose more body fat. That’s a fact.”
