039_Fitness for Food Lovers with Ben Johnson
Fitness and delicious food don't need to be mutually exclusive. If you're curious about how you can lose weight, build muscle or get healthier while still enjoying satisfying, yummy food, then definitely check out my podcast with self-proclaimed food lover Ben Johnson.
Ben is a writer, fitness coach, entrepreneur and founder of BenTrained.com. As a coach, Ben uses science-based strategies to help his clients enjoy great food while also experiencing better fitness results.
In addition to his coaching, Ben is a published cookbook author. His book For the Health of It: The Beginner's Guide to Recipe Creation provides readers with the tools to create healthy versions of their favorite foods.
Ben's interest in the fitness and nutrition industry stems from being a "former chubster" as a child, and he's not ashamed of it. Thanks to his own experiences battling weight problems and his passion for food, Ben has been able to help others fight the chub and start the journey towards better health.
Ben is extremely wise for his age and just doing great things in the fitness industry. During our awesome interview, we talk about the fundamentals of good nutrition and how food doesn't have to be painfully tasteless and bland in order for you to be fit or lose weight. We also dive deep into the impact of social media in the fitness industry and how it affects our perception of ourselves. It's a really great interview that I think will resonate with everyone.
