@@GymOwnerJon That's great. I have recently discovered this way of eating just over a year now, and I'm thriving! It is very difficult for society to recognize it, but everyday more evidence is behind this way to fuel yourself. I am getting into educating myself on this subject and getting my coworkers to try it to see the benefits as well,(firefighters are very reluctant to just plants). But I cook at the station and they eat, even second helpings.... Best of luck to you. Thanks
a lot of my clients are wanting to do the "low carb" diet. I don't believe in taking any 1 of the 3 foodstuffs out of the Macro equation for "better" fat loss results. How do I talk then out of doing this diet?
first educate yourself on the importance of carbs fats and protein. then once you I have a good understanding of carbs, fats and protein; educate your clients on why it is so important for carbs to be in their foods choices. here's a link to get you started, but don't stop there. I hope this helps you! www.active.com/nutrition/articles/why-are-carbs-important
+Andrew Kenny I am currently taking the FNS through nasm (Food Nutrition Specialist) Remind them that the board of food and nutrition recommends carbs to be 45-65% of your daily energy needs. Let them know that parts of the central nervous system solely rely on carbs/glucose and even some brain tissues as well as red blood cells. I remember in my nasm book it talked about that a low carb diet gave amazing scale results in the beginning but that was because it was a lot of water weight lost. I would also ask questions such as why do you want to follow this type of diet? Are there known health risks following a low carb diet? Do you really want to stick with a diet like long term such as 5 years or more? Remind them that a good nutrition plan that you are willing to follow long term or for the rest of your life should be your ultimate goal.
Andrew Kenny Get on Google & find Precision Nutrition. Their course is VERY expensive, but they have loads of free articles, incl: how to re-direct clients away from iffy nutrition ideas.
Hi Johnathan....Im looking for guidance on starting out with working at a gym. The gym Im looking at offers; 50/50, $250 a month, or 25% of gross income. i am unsure how to set myself up for profit.
PN has great free info, use that. PN has a coaching aspect which is supposed to be good, but 1st, look at your market. Will the cert help recruit clients? If not, try for a cheaper nutrition cert. The nutrition knowledge is out there. If you want the sales & coaching aspect, you have to consider the trade-off for the investment.
Absolutely perfect vid! Just what I was in search for (and perfect timing as I'm facing the same deal with my clients. Meal preps and having the essential type of breakfast/lunch - they just can't grasp that) Love all the vids you've posted from sales/marketing, hopefully we can get more nutrition based vids in the future. Cheeers!
I have another question...how do I help a client lose weight (20-30 lb.) if they are taking a psychiatric medication that causes them to gain weight despite their hard effort and determination to lose weight? I'm at a loss with this one. Nothing seems to be working.
Thanks Jonathan for your help I really enjoy your videos looking forward to getting involved and you dumbbell to dollar's course
Your videos are very helpful many thanks you're the man.
@Jonathan FitPro I love your videos, I've learned more from you in terms of real life industry knowledge than in my 3 year sport science degree.
How do you feel about a whole food plant based diet?
Great video, and good information.

hi Can I sign up to dollars to dumbbell course living in the UK?
I’m working for getting my personal training certificate when I’m done with that I’ll do your dumbbells for dollars

Thanks, I appreciate the feedback. That monthly rate does sound better. The more I bust my ass, the higher thr profit margin.
As a fitness professional, is it worth investing in getting the Precision Nutrition Certification, or is it a lousy nutrition certification?
I would as it can always help you and not hinder. It is better to have it than not if only just to safe guard yourself.
