How I Went From Flab to Fit<\/h2>\n

\"MikeI’m Mike Starks, the CEO of Personal Trainer Food. And, I know firsthand how frustrating it is when you try EVERYTHING \u2014 and can\u2019t lose weight.<\/p>\n

When I was young, I was a gym rat. Yeah, I was in amazing shape. But all that changed in 2005, when I had some much-needed back surgery. I couldn\u2019t work out at all during my recovery \u2014 and it didn\u2019t take long for my \u201chard body\u201d to turn soft.<\/p>\n

\"Mike
Yes, those 53-year old abs are mine!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Once I was cleared to exercise again, I hit the gym with a vengeance. I wanted to lose the fat I had gained and build up muscle as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n

But, it didn\u2019t work. I just ended up sore, injured \u2014 and a flabby 225 pounds.<\/p>\n

I knew I had to come up with something to help me lose weight and get back in shape. And dare I say, I wanted to get rid of the fat as quickly as possible too.<\/p>\n

So I did a ton of research and taught myself how to eat better. The weight came off, and I’ve kept it off.<\/p>\n

How Personal Trainer Food Was Born<\/h2>\n
\"How
My family loves eating the PTF way.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

But things didn’t start to snowball for me until I asked my wife a really dumb question. I’m almost too embarrassed to repeat it, but here goes…<\/p>\n

I asked \u201cHoney it\u2019s been six months since you had the baby, why are you still wearing your maternity pants?\u201d<\/p>\n

Her look of frustration changed everything.<\/p>\n

I decided I would help her by prepping all her meals so she could eat better. It got her on the road to start losing weight.<\/p>\n

And at the end of 5 months, Lara lost an amazing 55 pounds. That’s when I realized that many smart people like Lara and you are confused about healthy eating. Believe me, it’s not your fault.<\/p>\n

That’s why today I sell millions of pounds of weight loss meals based on some very simple and easy principles that I’ll teach you.<\/p>\n

I’ll show you how to get to a healthy weight eating great-tasting foods like this…<\/p>\n

\"food-quad\"<\/a>\"other-half-food\"<\/a><\/p>\n

(Spoiler alert: you’ll be able to lose weight without killing yourself at the gym. I wish I had this information when I started my journey!)<\/p>\n
