LeanDads Success Stories: Highlights From Our First Program Launch

Josh Allen • May 10, 2024

Our first LeanDads transformation program wrapped up in April and it was a success! 


We had 9 guys start the journey with us. Each individual came with different goals in mind - some were focused on fat loss while others wanted to improve digestion or energy. 


The cool thing was that no matter what the initial goal was, each person saw improvements in all areas of health: Fat loss, better energy, less stress, deeper sleep and improved digestion.


Because they are all connected. If you work on one, the rest will improve!


Check out the results our men got in 12 weeks! Our next LeanDads program is starting soon - click here for more information or to join.



LEANDAD WINS:


  • Total lbs lost = 120lbs (9 people)
  • Average lbs lost = 15 lbs per person
  • Total decrease in waist size = 58cm (8 people)
  • Average decrease in waist size= 7.25cm per person



TRACKING PROGRESS:



REAL RESULTS:


Ryan had a slow start but in the end went from 197 to 172 lbs!



Keith ate 'healthy'and was active but still struggled with digestion & energy until he

implemented the LeanDads 'Foundations'.



Lou wanted to lose the gut and be healthy again. By trusting the system and being patient with himself

he demonstrates that anyone can do this.



And to think that these results are only from 12 weeks... Imagine what can happen after a year?! 


With that in mind and many of the guys not wanting to lose momentum we created a LeanDads ascension program where half our guys moved to after the initial 12 week program!


And so the  journey continues because health optimization never ends!



WHAT IS YOUR WHY?


One of the biggest lessons the LeanDads learned was the power of their WHY. The WHY is not your goal but WHY your goal is important. 


What will achieving your goal allow you to do that you can not do right now? - This is your WHY


How will it improve the life of those you care about? - This is your WHY


When you have a strong WHY you have motivation to take on any challenge in life and not rely on sheer willpower to get the job done (because willpower has no endurance).


The following image was created by AI for one of our guys to visualize his WHY! 



FINAL THOUGHTS


As a transformation health coach, I continue to be amazed by how much progress someone can make when they implement the foundations - simple things that we should have been taught in school. I love teaching people these concepts and empowering individuals how to make these concepts a sustainable part of their lives.


Thank you to all who trusted me on this journey, showed up and were open to trying new things! Well done guys!
