Chris' Training and Nutrition

Introduction: In 2004, I was diagnosed with anxiety and depression. For some eight years, I stewed and fell deeper and deeper into depression. My weight ballooned out of control and peaked at 350 lbs by the end of 2011. In the beginning of 2012, I decided I needed a change. Overnight, I overhauled my diet in a reasonable way that still allowed me some of my favorite "bad" foods. In roughly 11 months, I lost 150 lbs, no fad diets, no pills, no nonsense. I spent most of my free time researching nutrition, training and physiology. I watched hundreds of hours of lectures, training footage and discussions. I read numerous research articles on all the major concerns related to weight loss, strength training and muscle-building. I learned how to effectively and intelligently structure a program for nearly anyone, no matter what their goals are. I am currently pursuing proper certification and am seeking a bachelor's degree at minimum in the field of exercise science and kinesiology. I will start this winter. Fitness is my passion in life, and I hope I can help you on your journey toward better health, a better body and a better outlook on life.
