I came seeking guidance and accountability through a bulk and cut cycle, as I've never been able to adhere to my numbers in the past. I felt extremely supported with weekly check ins and contact with my coach.

18 months ago, I decided it was time for a change. My training was going well but I wasn’t feeling the response I wanted from the work I was putting in. I felt tired and sluggish, and I knew that nutrition was the missing piece to the puzzle.

I came to Black Iron Nutrition as a serial dieter, always just wanting to cut down my food to ‘look like I do CrossFit’. Instead we’ve spent 4 years building up my metabolism through eating more food, prioritising recovery and building my strength and fitness. I learned that in order to do well in CrossFit, you REALLY need to eat a lot. 

The first few weeks I was hesitant to buy-in because I felt like I was eating so much and macro-counting does take a little effort in the beginning when you are getting used to it. However, I began seeing so many changes in my body, that I could not deny the program was working! Since joining, I have lost over 20 lbs and over 8% body fat!

I can't stress enough how worth it is to have someone to take a look at what you’re eating! Personally my goals were to just be more flexible with the types of foods I included in my diet. I had no idea I was even under eating and my energy levels could be so improved!
