I remember putting on a dress shirt while on vacation this summer and not being able to button all of the buttons. It was embarrassing. I was in fairly good shape about 4–6 years ago. I had run several races, like a 10 KM, a half marathon, and a full marathon. However, during the dark days of the pandemic (2020–2021), I developed some unhealthy eating habits that I wasn't sure I could break. I have successfully lost weight before—about 20 pounds. More recently, I tried methods that worked but proved too disruptive to my lifestyle (16-8 intermittent fasting, for example). I heard about MyBodyTutor from Noah Kagan, and I hoped to lose weight. My specific goal was to reduce my body weight to the healthy range for my body mass index (BMI). I also wanted to improve my energy, increase my satisfaction with my appearance, and improve my habits around eating and exercising. I have never paid for a service like this before (or a personal trainer, etc.), and I was concerned that it was difficult to find out how long it would take to achieve my goals—would I be in this program for a year or more? But with the help of MyBodyTutor, I achieved my weight loss goal. Specifically, I lost 20.7 pounds in 112 days (from August 12 to December 2). Before I started, I expected to receive highly prescriptive diet directions, like "eat X and don't eat Y," but the MyBodyTutor approach doesn't suggest a specific diet. Instead, it's about making incremental changes. The biggest difference is receiving daily responses to my diet/movement journal entries. Every morning, I looked forward to reading the comments from my coach. It was a wonderful blend of food for thought, encouragement, and tips to improve. Imagine you had an encouraging, health-oriented friend who wanted to hear about your health journey every day. That's part of what you receive. Even better, you get subtle, effective coaching on gradually shifting your habits. During the program, I still had wine and chocolate on occasion, and that's because it's not about eliminating indulgences (though you can do that if you wish); it's about shifting your mindset and habits.
