Nutritionist Helps Client Lose 100 Pounds

When Ben S. first walked into our coaching program at 255 lbs, he was a 56-year-old COO with no workout routine, high stress, and a diet built around pasta, bread, and pie. His weight had been steadily climbing over the past few years—185 lbs just three years ago to 235 six months before we met, and now 255. He was stuck, frustrated, and carrying the physical and emotional weight of years of “laziness” (his word) and false starts.

But what stood out most?

He was ready to change. Completely.

Ben’s goal was crystal clear: get back to 185 pounds, rebuild his posture and core strength, improve his mood, and feel like himself again. He didn’t have a massive support system, wasn’t motivated by aesthetics, and admitted straight up that he hated working out. But he was done making excuses.

His mantra? “Intensity.”

What We Worked On
1. Structure + Accountability
Ben thrived on interaction. He wanted frequent check-ins, honest feedback, and clear direction. So we gave him all of that and more. Weekly updates. Real-time text support. In-club coaching. No fluff.

2. Nutrition Overhaul
His initial intake revealed a high-carb, low-protein diet and about 3,000 calories a day, mostly from processed foods. Together, we made small, sustainable shifts—cutting the sugar, increasing protein, and learning how to build meals that actually fueled him. No fad diets. No quick fixes.

3. Simple Fitness Start
At the beginning, Ben wasn’t working out at all. So we didn’t start with hour-long sweat sessions. We focused on consistency: core strengthening, daily movement, and building a foundation he could actually maintain. Over time, his energy, strength, and confidence skyrocketed.

What Changed
Over the course of the year, Ben not only lost 100 pounds—he completely transformed his relationship with food, fitness, and his own identity. His back pain improved. His posture strengthened. His stress lowered. His discipline and mindset leveled up.

He became someone who no longer avoided the hard things… but leaned into them.

Ben’s Words, Echoed
“There is nothing I will hold onto to make this change.”

That commitment became the cornerstone of his success. It wasn’t about perfection—it was about showing up, even when it was hard.

Final Thoughts
Ben’s story is proof that transformation is possible at any age—especially when you’re willing to be honest, stay consistent, and let someone coach you through the tough spots.
