\"gunner_shroy\"Gunner works in Customer Support at Personal Trainer Food and is doing the Walk the Walk Challenge<\/a>. The Walk the Walk Challenge is what some of us are doing here at headquarters to see what kind of results we can get eating the same menu items and following the same Guidelines\u2014just like you do.<\/p>\n

Well, when Gunner stepped on the scale at the end of Week One, we told him to GET OFF OF IT IMMEDIATELY! We hit \u201creset\u201d and weighed him again\u2026<\/p>\n

We could not believe our eyes. In his first 7 days on the program, Gunner lost an amazing 14 pounds!<\/p>\n

I know you are wondering, \u201cHow did he do it, and how can I get results like that too?\u201d<\/p>\n

His reply: \u201cI fasted, I ate the food, I walked and I saw results.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo\u2026we want to know exactly<\/b> how you did it, Gunner!\u201d So I sat down with him to get him to share his tips with you\u2026<\/p>\n

What did you order?<\/h3>\n

\u201cFor my 3 Meals a Day program, I just chose my favorite foods. Mesquite Chicken, Angus Burgers and broccoli is mostly what I ate for week one. They are just my favorite things; I could eat them every day. I also selected the Angus burger because I know the fat content would be good to keep me from getting hungry.\u201d<\/p>\n

But doesn\u2019t fat make you fat?<\/h3>\n

\u201cNo\u2026Fat doesn\u2019t make you fat because it does not trigger your body to store fat the way carbohydrates do. Fat is filling and excellent at killing cravings so you can stay on track without feeling deprived.\u201d<\/p>\n

Speaking of cravings, what did you crave the most during your first week?<\/h3>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t really have a lot of cravings until the end of the week. The weather is getting nice here in Texas, and having an ice cold beer sounded really good! There were a few other things that came up, like wanting pizza, or some French fries\u2014but I realized those were more out of a psychological habit than an actual physical need. Knowing that helped me a lot!\u201d<\/p>\n

The first week can be one of the most difficult because of sugar withdrawals. What kept you motivated or accountable?<\/h3>\n

\u201cI\u2019m stubborn. I really didn\u2019t like the little headache I had all week from sugar withdrawals but I knew that the only way to kill the headache was to stay on track. And by day three, I was actually seeing changes in how my jeans fit. It was really cool!<\/p>\n

I know people get these results with Personal Trainer Food all the time; I just didn\u2019t think I would see such a big change on myself. I mean, it isn\u2019t like I am overweight to begin with. But seeing the change had me thinking that the little bit of extra weight I have been carrying is something that I should get rid of for my long term health.<\/p>\n

The other thing that held me accountable was that I am doing this challenge with my Personal Trainer Food family. I don\u2019t want to let them down by caving into old habits. It\u2019s great when I go down to lunch and everyone is chatting about their plans and progress.<\/p>\n

That is something I love about working here. I know that some folks simply don\u2019t have people who can or will support them in their journeys. But they can always call us! They can also join us in the Walk the Walk Challenge<\/a> by using \u201cWalkTheWalk<\/strong><\/em><\/span>\u201d in the promo code box when they check out\u2014they get $75 off their order<\/strong>. We really do want to help them get to their goals!\u201d<\/p>\n

That\u2019s great! Thanks for sharing! Did you add any other food or snacks to your 3 Meal a Day program?<\/h3>\n

\u201cYes! Would you be surprised if I told you that this week I ate cheese, bacon and even a 16-ounce steak?\u201d<\/p>\n

Actually, no. I wouldn\u2019t be surprised. Those are all in our Guidelines. But can you talk about this a little further since we often hear from people who are concerned that eating fat might slow down their results? I mean after all, a 16-ounce steak is what\u2026about 1300 calories?<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cBelieve me, I was following my appetite and enjoyed every bite without guilt! Steak is my favorite meal. 1300 calories of steak is not at all like 1300 calories of starchy pizza. Did you know that one large slice is about 700 calories? I hate to admit it because I know better, but I don\u2019t eat just one slice! Those Friday night pizzas and beers were really adding up to create my Buddha belly!\u201d<\/p>\n

What is your BEST advice for people starting their first week of Personal Trainer Food? How can they get results like you did?<\/h3>\n

The number one thing hands-down is that your body is going to require more water as it transitions into fat-burning mode. Keep a water bottle with you throughout the day and sip on it. Don\u2019t try to chug it all at once\u2014your body will not be able to absorb the water effectively.<\/p>\n

Number two, don\u2019t be afraid to fast! I know that without fasting I would have lost less weight this week. I probably would have had worse sugar withdrawals and headaches. Fasting is awesome, so do it!<\/p>\n

My third piece of advice is don\u2019t weigh yourself. No, seriously! While I saw great scale results, the changes I saw in my body were WAY more inspiring. Your weight is just a number, but looser jeans can be directly seen and felt.<\/p>\n

Lastly, everyone is different. I know that there are some people doing the Walk the Walk challenge who lost less than I did this week, but nonetheless they are making great progress. I heard a few lost a good number of inches, and I can see changes in everyone\u2019s faces. However you lose weight, whether it is fast or slow, you are doing great things for your overall health.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wow, thanks Gunner! How can people reach you if they want to talk to you about the Walk the Walk Challenge<\/a> or just getting started towards a healthier lifestyle?<\/h3>\n

\u201cYou are welcome! I love helping people reach their goals! They can call 1-800-273-1686, my extension is 204 or they can email me at Gunner@PersonalTrainerFood.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Since all of our Weight Loss Coaches are doing the Walk the Walk Challenge, they can talk with any one of us for motivation, accountability, troubleshooting and support.\u201d
\nKeep up the great work, Gunner! <\/b>
\nStay tuned for next week when we are going to see how more of us are doing on the Walk the Walk Challenge. You don\u2019t want to miss this!<\/b><\/p>\n
