Nutrition Course
Nutrition is the make it or break it of someone’s physique goals
I know it…
You know it…
And your client THINKS they know it.
But what they think is:
⇒ Carbs make them fat;
⇒ Fat makes them fat; and
⇒ Protein makes them bulky
So, what does that leave?
It leaves Celery Juicing, Skinny Me Teas, Apple Cider Vinegar shots, and not eating past 6pm.
Therefore, there are some really important reasons why Personal Trainers and Coaches need to understand the foundations of nutrition.
The main reason being your clients are going to come to you doing stupid shit.
They’ll come to you doing a diet that Karen from accounts told them about.
They’ll come to you with beliefs that stem from a misconstrued fact they first started to believe 10 years ago.
They’ll come to you with hopes that there is a magic diet, trick, or pill that DOESN’T include a caloric deficit.
And they’ll come to you saying they’ll do anything to reach their goal, but in reality they don’t want to give up their mid-morning cake or their late night wine.
And while the majority of your clients understand that nutrition plays a large role in their health and their success in the gym, most won’t hire nutritionists. But they will turn to google, they will turn to Sandra from marketing, and they will turn to you.
So even if you can’t, or won’t, write detailed nutrition plans, you at the very least need to know enough to steer them in the right direction so they do not f**k themselves up.
The Muscle Nerds Foundational Nutrition Course will arm you with the tools you need to look after not only your clients’ physical training, but their nutritional recommendations as well.
