Some of the greatest challenges in life often have very simple solutions. I worked my way through college as a personal trainer helping people get in shape. Soon after graduating college, I had 3 surgeries in 1 year and became addicted to prescription pain medication for the next 15 years. No matter how many times I tried I couldn’t get clean. I sought help from the best doctors, detox clinics, rehab centers, hypnotherapists, peer-support groups, etc., and none of it made a difference. I always ended up relapsing just as soon as the physical pain and mental cravings kicked in. The hardest part about breaking any addiction is overcoming the withdrawal symptoms. I knew there had to be some healthy, natural substance I could take to keep me satisfied while getting off these prescription drugs. Once I found a simple method to ease my pain and nullify my cravings, I stopped using and stayed clean. Throughout those 15 years while I was addicted to prescription drugs, I quit exercising and developed a very bad habit of eating whatever I wanted whenever I felt like it. After I got clean, it became clear to me that I was grossly overweight, out-of-shape, and unhealthy. So, I made the decision to lose weight and get fit, which led me to develop a plan. I knew there were tasty, natural foods I could eat instead of junk to stay satisfied. I took the same approach I used for getting off prescription painkillers and applied it to losing weight. Once I found a simple method to satisfy my hunger and nullify my cravings, I stopped eating junk food and lost 60 pounds in 6 months. Losing all that body fat motivated me to start exercising again, which shaped my body. That led me to adopt a next-level, self-care routine, which improved my mental and physical health. After helping other people do the same, I knew this natural replacement method could work for anyone, which is why I developed MacroBody.

I’m not a doctor, scientist, or registered dietitian, but I’ve gained real experience through overcoming my own prescription drug and sugar addiction. And I guarantee you that sugar is a highly-addictive, dangerous drug that’s responsible for a worldwide epidemic of sick, fat people. In the United States, 42% of adults are obese and (1 out of 11) 9.4% of these are severely (morbidly) obese. Obesity is a major factor leading cause of preventable deaths in the United States. Being overweight or obese can increase the risk of diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, premature aging, and shortened life expectancy. The main point you need to know is that an overweight person trying to lose weight can’t eat sugary foods and expect to be Thin, Lean and Healthy. Just like a recovering cocaine addict can’t use their drug and expect to maintain their sobriety. In both cases, the addict’s occasional use of drugs fuels a vicious cycle of relapse and addiction. I personally understood this fact of life better than anyone, which is why I knew how to win the food war and help others do the same.

Soon after my weight loss journey began, people saw my success and asked me for advice. Once I explained how I ate, they wanted me to give them a list of foods to buy so they could follow my natural replacement method and lose weight too. I received text messages regularly requesting to send “The List”. So, I made a promise to type up my curated list and email it to them when it was ready. I was inspired to invest my time and effort into creating MacroBody once I knew it could help people. Over time, one thing led to another and MacroBody was born. At the end of the day, I can give you a good plan for losing weight, but I can’t make you do it. I can give you the secret to being Thin, Lean, and Healthy but I can’t be there to enforce it. I can provide you with a wellness program that works for life, but the will to actualize it must come from you.

MacroBody makes it easy to change the way people eat and lose weight permanently. Simply eat the tasty, low-sugar, nutrient-rich foods on The List 6x a day every 2 1⁄2 hours and follow the basic Rules. This proven, natural replacement method is your solution for replacing bad with good and transforming your body and health.
