Drew Manning is creator of TV Show #FitToFatToFit, NY Times best-selling author of Fit2Fat2Fit, host of Fit2Fat2Fit Experience Podcast, and personal trainer. Drew went on a quest to go from fit to fat to fit again in one year in order to better understand the weight-loss struggles of his clients and the online community. He embarked on this journey to prove to clients, website followers, and people across the country that it is possible to get back into shape. In this episode, Drew shares his journey of going from Fit2Fat2Fit. He talks about the effects of gaining weight on his body, how he measured his blood biomarkers, and what issues arose, primarily with blood pressure and testosterone. Drew also spends time focusing on the psychological and emotional challenges associated with becoming overweight, and goes over the positive transformation he had simply by eating a healthy diet. He also dives into the ketogenic diet, ketosis, and more.
