159. How To Lose Fat and Get Fit Without Giving Up Your Favorite Foods with Coach Jumha
In this weeks episode, I sit down with a fellow coach to discuss the ins and outs of fat loss and how we help our clients to achieve long term success with their nutrition, fitness and life!
We hope you enjoy the show!
Here's more info on Jumha:
"My name is Jumha, and ever since I started walking I had the urge to try and be the best at every physical endeavor I took part in. Competitiveness was always apart of my nature for better or worse and that definitely helped in school sports, but outside of that it hurt me.
It affected how I viewed myself, what I saw in the mirror, and how “worthy” I felt. You see, I wasn’t overweight, I was actually really scrawny but if you saw me at the pool or the beach with my friends I ALWAYS had a shirt on. I felt like if I didn’t have a six pack or “the best body” I didn’t deserve to have my shirt off. Nobody I ever saw on television was shirtless UNLESS they had a six pack and muscles, how could little old me ever dream of being shirtless?!
I started bodybuilding to boost my self esteem and help me with my dreams of playing pro football (I later found out that my lifting style probably wasn’t best for that). It wasn’t until I started helping other people with their training journey that I realized I wasn’t the only one with self-image issues and that maybe the problem wasn’t external at all. It was all in my head; I created my own self-limiting belief and it held me back – big time.
Fast forward to becoming an NCAA collegiate athlete that was pursuing an engineering degree and my understanding of training and nutrition had improved drastically! I worked hand in hand with my coaches to design training programs for the track team and we were able to improve every athlete’s time/distance tremendously! I decided to take my talents to the corporate gym world while in school to further continue learning and applying myself.
As time went on, I used real nutritional strategies that started to transform the bodies and mind of my clients. They started to experience lower levels of stress and anxiety while showing greater confidence in themselves everywhere they went! The confidence was contagious, it led me to learn more, do better, and help so many people! I went on to help hundreds of people – and counting – feel more confident in themselves, look better, be stronger, and just enjoy an overall improved quality of life!
Once I graduated with my Bachelor’s in Engineering though I had a decision to make and it wasn’t easy but I felt that I was being led to my true calling the entire time.
I’ve been so successful with it already, why not continue to be a direct impact on more people’s lives?
It was all just so fascinating to me. Not only the fact that I have all these tools to manipulate how one performs or looks, but also how they think, and the mindset strength one can build through training and nutrition. It’s something that nobody should ignore, because it’s a tool to more power, clarity and happiness.
The fact of the matter is, there’s a lot misinformation in the fitness and nutrition space – odds are you’ve heard a bunch of different things from a bunch of different people that probably contradicts itself – and that makes it hard to be confident with the process that you’re taking part in.
That’s why I started StoopidFit, a lifestyle coaching platform to take out the complexity of it all and make it as simple as possible for you! So you can enjoy your life to the potential it was meant to be enjoyed!
Everyone deserves to be happy, and you can't do that when you don't like the way you look!"
