I throughly enjoyed my time being coached by Gustavo! I learned so much that has helped me on my journey to improve my gut health. He was very encouraging, supportive and knowledgeable. I absolutely recommend this program to anyone struggling with gut issues.

Coach Owen was fantastic. I learned so much in such a short period of time and not just about my diet an exercise ( although that is important) but I also learned about myself. Every person I had contact with was caring and non judgmental. Felt supported all the time. Would recommend this program to anyone serious about fitness in a nonjudgmental environment.

This program works! I’m on a new journey in life with how my body is changing as I’m getting older and believe me, I have been reading every thing out there. There is so much to decipher through that I was totally confused and nothing was working or it may work for a little bit and then nothing. This program has been the easiest to stick with, the coaches are there for you 100% and cheering you on. They want to see you succeed and celebrate your wins and you can see that they are genuinely excited for you. I don’t feel alone. That says a lot. I would totally recommend this program and have so much excitement. I love Telly friends and family about how easy this is, so they can feel just as good as I do.

After retiring, I purchased a Fitbit as I wanted to lose weight & focus on my health. My Fitbit encouraged me to increase my daily steps & climbing stairs. I did lose some weight, but at the time I was eating a late breakfast & then an early dinner. If I was hungry between those meals I'd grab some potato chips to satisfy my hunger. I'd even treat myself to a little ice cream before going to bed. I'd lost a few pounds but I was starting to forget names of friends from my past. When I learned about this program, I felt compelled to join & enrolled! On 5/18 I had my first coaching session which was really encouraging. I learned about the importance of eating at least 3 meals & a bedtime snack (if not 5 smaller meals). I learned the importance of when to eat fibrous carbs, starchy carbs, proteins, & fats with my meals. So I focused on learning about what I should eat at each meal! I found the coaching calls extremely beneficial! My coach has been incredibly encouraging! I was shocked when I got on the scale & saw I was steadily losing weight even though I was eating much more than I was previously! This program has truly been incredibly helpful! I would certainly encourage others with similar concerns to join! I sent the above to Chad last evening & he asked me to forward it here! Joanna Stinespring

This program is a life style change emphasizing nutrition, hydration, exercise and motivation. We are assigned a 1:1 coach for 3 mo (longer for an extra fee) for daily accountability and feedback on whatever we are working on. There is a weekly zoom mtg for progress, concerns and special topics. Sarah Taylor is my coach and she is super supportive, empathetic, and creative with solutions. All of her clients have a daily group chat and are very supportive of each other. There is a weekend support group chat run by Chad Tackett, the founder of committed coaches. He also hosts a weekly zoom mtg on different topics each week with extensive handouts and references based on questions at the end. One of his most important video in the learn section of the committed coaches app is on nutrition called Nutrient Synthesis. It is the basis of the nutritional program to balance your hormones and boost your metabolism. This is copied directly from his summary: "1. Choose carbs that are natural (picked from the ground or the tree) not processed (man made) 2. Choose starchy and or simple carbs early in the day, fibrous carbs later. 3. Include a healthy fat and protein at each snack and meal. 4. Use the Fist/Palm/Thumb Rule as a good estimate of the right portions. 5. Stop eating when comfortably full." There is a recommended food list divided into the following categories: starchy carbs, simple carbs,fibrous carbs, protein and healthy fats. This was one of the most beneficial handouts at the start of the program. This allows you to plug in your favorite foods in any category into the sample daily meal plan categories. Another topic he has focused on is how to be flexible with your plan in real life situations such as a special holiday events and restaurant food choices. There are a lot of knowlegable coaches in this program that offer zoom calls on different topics you can sign up for on a weekly basis that you can attend live or see the replay. There are select coaches that do the same with exercise classes. At the start of the program, your coach provides an exercise program. The app has many different exercise to choose from for an on demand workout. As a senior with joint issues, I am more comfortable with seated or low impact exercise which the program offers. My favorite ones along with many others in my coaches group are Coach Lindsay's Seated exercise 1-6 and her standing exercises 1-3. All combine cardio and resistance exercise. I have seen healthy improvements on this program. My A1C has dropped from 8.6 to 6.3. My goal of 5.7 would end my classificatio of type 2 Diabetes. My resting heart rate and blood pressure has lowered. Cholesterol is lower and BMI went from obese to over weight with a weight loss of 35-55lbs. Function of stair climbing and getting up from the floor has improved.

When I started this journey, I would see a pizza commercial and crave that pizza and I would eat pizza by the time the weekend was over! Tonight, I saw several pizza commercials and not once did I want to reheat leftover pizza I have in my freezer! Instead I thought of all the good foods in my fridge. My mind’s thought process is changing. All due to this process. Today after Chad’s group coaching I prepped bell peppers, onions, and baked bacon, meatloaf, and chicken. I put half of the bacon and meatloaf in the freezer for quick protein selections for the upcoming week. Something I didn’t do before. I am enjoying the meals that I am making. I have a new appreciation for sweet peppers! Challenging yes, but Coach Hannah has been there for every single question I have had! And believe me, I have had some doozies. I just finished day 23 in my planner. It seems to be coming easier and easier. When my coworkers ordered out, I ordered the protein bowl, lite on brown rice (I didn’t know that meant smaller portions) and only ate 1/3 of it. I truly believe that eating the way that’s being shown to us has had a lasting effect on my life. I don’t approach foods or eating like I used to. And I like the change in me! Thank you!

About 100 days ago I started Committed Coaches with high hopes and lots of positive expectation. Every program I had previously followed (and they were numerous) left me with only short term results that I couldn't seem to stick with. Also, the scale would not budge. My goal was to lose weight!One step at a time I learned how to follow the program.I filled out my meal plans, sent them to my coach and received amazing feedback telling me what worked well and what areas I should tweak. There was also heartfelt encouragement. When I thought I was failing because I had a pastry or went off program my coach was right there telling me "that's called life" and praised me for getting right back on track at the next meal. This meant the world to me and helped me stick with it. Slowly, I began learning how to build my meals for success starting with protein, adding carbs and then a healthy fat. It seemed so simple but it was the hardest thing I have ever done. I had to overcome the battle of food controlling me or me controlling food. I was starting to feel better physically and mentally. And the scale had started moving in the right direction! I started releasing many pent up negative feelings I was having around food. I believe I was experiencing grief. Again, the constant encouragement from my coach helped me to see the actual progress I was making. My mindset started changing. I was no longer fighting and worrying about being "fat". I was becoming a strong woman who could make wise choices. And realizing that perfection is not the goal but that continuous effort creates progress. This program is so deep and there is so much to learn at one point I was feeling overwhelmed like I needed to create a binder with all I was learning. My coach told me not to worry about that and concentrate on my next meal. Without her guidance I would definitely have given up. I have lost 12 pounds that are never coming back, which I can say with absolute confidence because of the changes that have taken place in my life from immersing myself into Committed Coaches. I have navigated my eating through vacation, parties, going out to dinner, celebrating special occasions and just not having the right food on hand. I'm still making progress. Also, I am not on a diet! I am committed to my healthiest lifestyle for the rest of my life so that I can travel with my husband, be there for my children and grandchildren, have more energy and be an inspiration for others.Thank you for letting me share my experience.

"I have been with Committed Coaches for about 7 months. My blood pressure is nearly back to normal and I have lost a few pounds as that has improved. Plus I am able to be more physical now and danced at a concert without pain and encouraging others to come out on the floor also. My goal is to keep up with the group in one year on a Tauck tour along the Rhein river and then with a wine club into German vineyards. I especially like that there is no calorie counting or other such measurements. And I like that I can continue to eat many of my favorite foods at certain times of the day or as an occasional treat without feeling guilty. I also appreciate that there is so much effort into improving one's mental approach to life and the problems we encounter daily or occasionally. AARP also recommends that seniors work to live in joy for greater benefits all around. The coaches are amazing and so very helpful. Even an MDVIP doctor has admitted that this is better for me than the GLP1 he was pushing - and a friend who just finished taking that drug was complaining about what his doctor now wanted him to do since GLP1 takes away muscle - whereas the coaches want us to gain muscle even though that weighs more than fat. In addition the MDVIP web site and monthly newsletters push GLP1 or a system not quite as comprehensive as the Committed Coaches program and without readily available advice just a phone call or zoom meeting away. And the GLP1 would have cost me about the same as this coaching."
