Carlos came to Black Iron Nutritoin with the goal of reducing body fat and improving his performance in the gym (Crossfit). He had some serious time commitments as he was studying for his engineering license, but he really committed and hit the ground running on the process. Coach Chris talks about the strategies they focused on that would include minimal additional stress and time commitment.

I was amazed how much better my energy and sleep got in the first few months. I lost weight while increasing the amount of food I was eating. I got to choose what I was eating to hit my macros and learned pretty quickly which foods fit my goals and what didn’t.

My experience has been so amazing! I have done two 3 month cycles with Black Iron and have lost over 10 pounds this year! But my success was not only on the scale. I felt so accomplished in the gym and my body felt so strong and healthy.

The extensive information I received and shared prior to starting with BIN impressed me, and I could sense that this program would guide me towards my desired health, fitness, and life goals. After comparing it to another fitness business that charged significantly more, there was no way I could turn down BIN, which cost less than one-eighth of the other option. Needless to say, I am thrilled to have found BIN.

While I've lost 13 pounds in the past three months, it's my improved mental state that truly makes me feel amazing. I now feel in control of myself, a significant shift from the past 3.5 years of feeling out of control.

Deciding to work with Black Iron Nutrition was the start I needed and has been invaluable, to say the least. In 12 weeks I lost weight, I lost inches, I lost body fat, and I gained so much knowledge! The first step is the hardest but is also the most rewarding.

I’ve honestly never been happier with how my body looks and feels. Because of how I got here…it was simple and it was imperfect. And to me, that’s the best part of this transformation — the part that will stick with me the most forever — I got here in a sustainable way.

Before I joined I was approaching 40 and thinking, this is it. I’ve tried everything. I can’t lose this weight. That was until I was matched with coach Maggie. My progress isn’t just measured by the scale which has been liberating. It is just one of many forms of info that are evaluated. Every person receives an individualized plan to figure out what works best for them.

I lost over 10 pounds, without my macros dropping (not even really cutting) and I'm 15# heavier than when I finished previous cuts, but I think I actually look better. I feel way better. I'm eating full meals, I'm not hungry and I look forward to my weekly check-ins, my coaches advice, and it's really powerful to look back at the week and find something, anything to stamp as something you're proud of.

I decided to join BIN because I saw a friend of mine at the gym have great results with the program. I was tired of how restrictive my diet was and I was really unhappy. I have to admit that for me it was a process to trust someone. I am a doctor and sometimes we think we know a lot, but we also need coaches to guide us through the things we struggle with. Every check-in Nicole was willing to explain to me what we were doing and why.

This is the most I’ve ever learned from a nutrition coach and I won’t forget any of it. I can easily say I’ve come out of this relationship with a deeper love and appreciation for my body, for not only what it looks like but what it does for me in the gym and every day. And I am better prepared to take on the world, knowing what and how to feed my body.

I was exhausted from guessing if what I was putting in my body was getting me to my goals. I was TIRED of it. I wanted to know my body and really learn what it truly needed. I was a total novice to the nutrition game, and to be honest a little intimidated, but that is the AMAZING thing about this program: no matter your nutrition background you will always have a place at Black Iron Nutrition.

In the last three months, my body has gone through a pretty amazing transformation (nearly 19 lbs gone!). But the most profound thing to come out of this experience is quite basic - food knowledge. Education is something I have always prioritized in my life, but until BIN, I equated education to be only academic.
