THE FYX 005: Beyond What Healthy Looks Like: Learning to Appreciate How Healthy FEELS with Drew Manning, The Fit2Fat2Fit Guy

Listen Later

Drew Manning is a well known Keto coach, physical trainer, and NY Times Best Selling Author of the book Fit2Fat2Fit. Best known for his Fit2Fat2Fit experiment that went viral, Drew gained over a million followers as he documented his 75 pound weight gain and weight loss journey back in 2011. His podcast has over 2.5 million downloads and he's been featured on TV shows such as Dr. Oz, Good Morning America, The View and many more. His experiment has become a hit TV show, called Fit to Fat to Fit, airing on A&E & Lifetime. Drew recently wrote and published his second book, Complete Keto, which is available wherever books are sold now.

Drew is someone who takes fitness and health very seriously and shares compassion with people who struggle to lose weight. He believes empathy is something that's missing from the fitness industry: plain and simple—losing weight is HARD. But as you’ll hear from Drew on this episode, after two rounds of his fit2fat2fit journey, it’s a solid reminder that we CAN do HARD things. From his experience, Drew firmly believes that empathy is the key to understanding why some people struggle with physical and mental transformations.

Tune in to this episode to learn:

  • Why Drew decided to purposely gain weight, AGAIN—and what he anticipates will be more challenging in round two, now that he’s forty
  • How his mental health has been affected by physical weight gain and what he plans to do to jump back into a healthy routine
  • How Drew’s family—he has two young daughters—played a part in his weight gain journey and the conversations he has with his girls around food and healthy lifestyles
  • The scary reality that most Americans don’t know what fit and healthy FEELS like—three weeks into his back2fit journey, Drew is grateful to be sore because he loves the feeling of being aware of his body. But the harsh truth? Most Americans don’t know the “other side” (the healthy side) because his weight gain diet has been their daily norm since childhood
