Empathy will help bridge the gap that exists in the fitness industry so that there is more understanding on why people struggle with transformation and it's not as easy as we all think it is (just eat less and workout). That mentality of just eating less and working out more doesn't work and it's time the fitness industry makes some changes to better understand where people are coming from. No one cares how much you know until they know how much you care first. So leading with empathy first instead of just diet and exercise, can make some big changes for people when they feel they are understood first and foremost instead of judged or labeled as lazy or less than because of the shape of their bodies.

In this interview, I'm with health and fitness expert Drew Manning. Drew is the New York Times best-selling author of Fit2Fat2Fit: The Unexpected Lessons from Gaining and Losing 75 lbs on Purpose and has for years been a leading voice in the burgeoning Keto Diet movement.   Drew is also the creator of the A&E Show Fit to Fat to Fit and the host of The Fit2Fat2Fit Experience podcast. With over a million social media followers, Drew continues to transform people's lives all around the world.   Known for his straightforward and empathetic fitness and health coaching, Drew has been featured on The Dr. Oz Show, CNN, Good Morning America, The Tonight Show, The View, and MSNBC, among other media outlets. He lives in Salt Lake City, Utah, with his daughters, who remind him every day not to take things too seriously.   In this episode, Drew opens the show explaining his Fit2Fat2Fit movement. Drew has always been in phenomenal shape – he couldn’t understand what his overweight clients were going through. In order to understand, Drew gained 75 lbs and lost it again. Drew talks about the difference between burning sugar and fat and why he ultimately decided to follow a ketogenic lifestyle. Stay tuned to hear Drew discuss gratitude and how to avoid the keto flu.   [04:00] About Drew Manning Drew had never been overweight in his life. He couldn’t understand his clients – they wouldn’t go to the gym and wouldn’t eat healthily. Drew decided to gain weight to understand his clients better. At first, gaining weight was fun. Cereal and soda taste amazing. The first few months were easy. Then, it shifted. Going up the stairs was difficult, and he started snoring. Plus, Drew was greatly affected mentally and emotionally. He didn’t know who he was when he was out of shape. It opened his eyes, and helped him find his meaning. When Drew switched back to eating healthy foods, he felt miserable. Drew suffered from headaches, a severe lack of energy, and mood swings.   [12:15] The Fit2Fat2Fit Movement In 2011, Drew started with zero connections. A fitness blogger posted his story, and Yahoo picked it up. Drew’s website crashed because all sorts of TV shows were trying to get ahold of him. Eight years later, Drew is still talking about his story and has two seasons of his TV show.   [16:10] Why Drew Chose the Ketogenic Lifestyle Drew likes to do experiments on his body. He found out there were all sorts of scientific research on the ketogenic diet. Drew did a sixty-day experiment on himself. He didn’t lose any weight, fat, or muscle, but he felt amazing. Drew went from eating six meals a day to eating two meals a day. His brain has never felt so mentally clear. Plus, his digestion is better. No longer did Drew feel like he was a slave to food.   [21:15] The Difference Between Clean and Dirty Keto   When Drew first started the ketogenic lifestyle, he simply cut carbs. It was an uneducated form of keto. There are different levels of keto. You can keep taking amazing steps – Drew is always changing, evolving, and upgrading. Drew uses a whole foods approach. In America, there are convenient keto options, even though they are not the cleanest ingredients. Dirty keto has evolved and become more popular. Drew suggests people stop eating nuts and dairy if they are still feeling inflamed. “Just because you are in ketosis, doesn’t mean you’re healthier.” -Drew Manning   [28:45] Following Keto Without a Gallbladder   People without a gallbladder have a hard time digesting fats in a keto diet. Drew found an enzyme that will assist most people with their digestion. Gallbladder removal is the number one surgery in the United States.   [30:00] The Difference Between Burning Sugar and Burning Fat Most people are sugar burners because they have cereal for breakfast, sandwiches for lunch, and pasta for dinner. When you eat fewer carbs, your body will retain less water. When you retain less water, you miss out on essential minerals. Therefore, when you transition to the keto diet, you will experience the keto flu because of an imbalance of electrolytes. When Drew says electrolytes, he does not mean Gatorade! Drew tells people to take sodium, magnesium, and potassium. Plus, you need to be drinking a lot more water.   [32:50] The Habit of Practicing Gratitude “Anytime you hit rock bottom, you become a better version of yourself.” -Drew Manning People overlook the importance of overcoming mental challenges to make keto a lifestyle change. Gratitude is a daily task that Drew asks people to do. If you write three things that you are grateful for, then throughout the day, you will look at situations in your life differently. Complete Keto is about a complete transformation rather than just a physical transformation.   [40:55] Drinking Keto Coffee Drew’s favorite keto product is keto coffee. He uses MCT oil powder and his salted caramel keto meal replacement with collagen. Drew uses Purity Coffee for his beans.   AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode: Drew’s Website Follow Drew Manning Facebook Instagram Twitter YouTube Read Complete Keto Listen to the Fit2Fat2Fit Experience Check out Dominic D’Agostino Watch Drew Manning on Dr. Oz Join the CK30 Keto Challenge Join the Keto Kamp Academy  WatchKeto Kamp on YouTube    Disclaimer: This podcast is for information purposes only.

This 100-mile run challenge for Operation Underground Railroad wasn't quite the same as Fit2Fat2Fit which was more of a long-term physical, traumatic experience but it was also emotional and mental which was my biggest takeaway from it. I've also done other smaller experiments here and there but this 100-mile run was 24 hours of suffering for the greater good. Sometimes that's what it takes to raise the human consciousness and realize that it's time to change. And that one thing is something crazy that catches their attention and creates greater awareness but also motivates them to take action. - Drew Manning How can you help bring awareness to an important cause that's close to your heart?   ---> Join the Wellness Warrior VIP Club: get exclusive discounts on new wellness tools, be first in line for new podcasts, get access to invite-only events, and so much more.** ---> Get The Morning 21: A powerful (and free) system designed to give you more energy, let go of old weight, and live life well.

Listen and discover how you can make Operation Underground Railroad's mission known throughout the USA and beyond through the power of influence, attention, and action.   Operation Underground Railroad SINCE BEING FOUNDED IN DECEMBER 2013, Operation Underground Railroad gathered the world's experts in extraction operations and in anti-child trafficking efforts to bring an end to child slavery. O.U.R.'s Underground Jump Team consists of former CIA, Navy SEALs, and Special Ops operatives that lead coordinated identification and extraction efforts. These operations are always in conjunction with law enforcement throughout the world. Once victims are rescued, a comprehensive process involving justice for the perpetrators and recovery and rehabilitation for the survivors begins. It is time for private citizens and organizations to rise up and help. It is our duty as free and blessed people. Domestic ServicesO.U.R. salutes our nation's law enforcement officers and prosecutors at the federal, state and local levels who protect our country's children. Law enforcement professionals skillfully investigate, arrest and prosecute those who violate children. Our nation's police efforts to protect children in the U.S. are light years ahead of many, if not all other countries. O.U.R. acknowledges the expertise and extraordinary work done by these dedicated men and women who bravely battle the scourge of child sexual exploitation. We share the mission to save children and seek justice for those who victimize them, therefore O.U.R. is committed to enhancing law enforcement efforts by providing resources where budget shortfalls prohibit child pornography, child exploitation or human trafficking operation from going forward. O.U.R. will also provide or facilitate child exploitation investigative training in U.S. jurisdictions where a need exists. Collaborating with law enforcement will reduce duplication, promote best practices and avoid other potential issues which might arise without close coordination. O.U.R. is privileged and honored to support our nation's heroes in this important cause to deter, disrupt and dismantle child exploitation and the trafficking of children in our nation's communities.   Complete Keto by Drew Manning Click here to buy your copy of Complete Keto by Drew Manning A New York Times best-selling author and expert trainer offers a ketogenic lifestyle reset packed with sustainable strategies and practical tools that really work--for life.

The fact that sometimes it takes us to do something crazy or different to raise awareness in our society. How he was misguided as a child to thinking that suffering was part of his self-worth and being a better person. Living an authentic life for yourself rather than acting a certain way or enduring obstacles for others. Why he puts himself through challenges like running 100 miles or Fit2Fat2Fat from a place of self-love rather than self-hate. The benefit of creating your own struggles and challenges to work through so that you can be resistant when the unexpected comes your way. Why doing the same types of workouts and routine actually leads him to experience burn out and go through the motions. The challenge of losing weight, getting in shape, and loving when your body when you're unhappy in the first place. How telling the public about his goal to run 100 miles actually helped motivate and hold himself accountable to his goal. Why he specifically chose Operation Underground Railroad to help raise money for them with his 100-mile run. How we can make Operation Underground Railroad's mission known throughout the USA and beyond through the power of influence and grabbing other people's attention through action. His plant medicine ceremony experience at Rythmia in Costa Rica and why he didn't feel called to it until Josh told him about it. The power of being empathetic, connecting, and relating to other people and their struggles. The Benefit Of Creating Your Own Struggles How being vulnerable and sharing his own story of divorce, the journey of Fit2Fat2Fit, and other struggles have empowered others to share their truth from an authentic place. Why we so strongly believe that once we have an incredible physical body, we'll be set for life and everything will open up for us but that's so far from the truth. The importance of really digging deep down to your darker side to be able to transform your physical, mental, and spiritual self. Old ways of being when it comes to fitness and health compared to the new narrative of not only focusing on the physical but emotional, mental, and spiritual self as well. The story behind his tattoo, "Vulnerability is strength," and opening up about his divorce on his 100th podcast episode and live on stage at Powerful U. His mission to help other people open up about their truth, difficult situations, and emotions by sharing his own with them. Porn addiction in our society and the importance of starting conversations about it to normalize it and help others recover. How culture, religion, and society shape our way of thinking about relationships, acceptance, and health from a very young age. Connecting how we eat, move, and sleep with thoughts, feelings, and actions from a primal and biohacking approach. The fact that it's okay to shut off your brain from time to time by doing something you enjoy because otherwise, you'll burn out. How being brought up with 11 brothers and sisters impacted his relationship with his parents and the way he is now raising his daughters.   Power Quotes From The Show   Self-fulfillment From Within "I want to bring empathy and a better understanding of the importance of mental, emotional, and spiritual transformation in the fitness industry which is obsessed with physical transformations. Being in great shape doesn't guarantee happiness. Yes, workout programs work for physical transformation but are they bring you self-fulfillment? I'd say, no.” - Drew Manning   Motivation Through Self-Love "When I do an event like running 100 miles, it's coming from a place of self-love instead of self-hate. Coming from a place of self-love instead of self-hate, it's a different type of motivation that helps me complete these challenges. Instead of hating or punishing myself, self-love allows you to create a better relationship with your body." - Drew Manning   What It Actually Means To Be Successful "Yes, a person's body will change when they begin a new health program and they become less obsessed with that number going down the scale but they also become super happy with who they are, they feel better, and their perception on health, fitness, and success begins to shift. Success isn't based on that number on the scale going down; it's so much more than that. Success is about who you're becoming while you're taking that journey up the mountain." - Drew Manning   Recover Faster: FITAID RX ZERO (Sugar Free + CREATINE) Recovery Blend is Keto-friendly, with the same clean ingredients and essential nutrients you love in FITAID ZERO.

In this solo episode, Drew shares his thoughts on whether or not keto is a fad diet, the differences he saw in himself after adopting a keto lifestyle, and why no matter what your love of yourself and your health should always come first.   My new book Complete Keto: A Guide for Transforming Your Body and Your Mind for Life is now available for pre-order!

“It all stems back to my Fit2Fat2Fit journey, where I learned just how wrong I was with my approach to trying to transform people; I could give someone the best meal plans, I could give them the best workouts, I could give them the best hacks to optimize their brain and their body from a physical perspective, but none of that matters unless a person knows to how to overcome their own mental and emotional challenges…so that's what I hope to bring to the fitness industry,” says Drew Manning, who simply couldn't understand why it was so difficult for his clients to stick to a meal and exercise plan in order to lose weight and get fit. What did he do? He decided to truly “walk the walk”: he quit working out and indulged an unrestricted typical American diet filled with processed foods for six months, gained 75 pounds, and saw his health rapidly decline before working his way back to being fit and healthy. What he learned along the way is that the aspects of mental and emotional health are largely overlooked in the health and fitness industry, but absolutely essential to becoming healthy and fit. Drew Manning will be speaking on this topic at the 2019 Metabolic Health Summit slated for January 31-February 3, and his latest book, Complete Keto, will be released on February 12th. It's a compilation of the latest and greatest keto research and contains a 30-day program that relies heavily on lessons from his Fit2Fat2Fit journey. It's available now for pre-order on Amazon and Barnes and Noble.  Tune in for the full conversation and check out fit2fat2fit.com for more.

The podcasting duo Carl Franklin and Richard Morris aka 2 Keto Dudes join us today to talk about KetoFest.  Richard Morris was a successful software developer, who learned at 38 that he would spend the rest of his life-fighting diabetes.  He retired at 40 intending to do his best to prevent the progression of his disease.  He ate the diet they told him to, and spent 4 days a week in the gym with a PT for a decade ... the disease only got worse and eventually, he almost lost a toe.  He discovered Tim Noakes and Gary Fettke, who led him to Phinney and Volleck and their ketogenic diet reversed his disease.  Richard and his friend and fellow cured type 2 diabetic Carl Franklin podcast every week on the subject, and together they turn a US town ketogenic for a weekend every year at KetoFest.  Richard also recently went back to school to study Biochemistry at the ripe age of 52.

Drew Manning burst onto the global fitness scene back in 2011 with his incredible “Fit to Fat to Fit” experiment, where he deliberately gained 75 pounds of fat in six months. A lifelong competitive athlete and chiseled personal trainer, Drew purposely let himself transition to obese and inactive in an effort to connect and empathize better with his clients. Listen to Drew relate some amazing insights about his experiment. Of course, his physical function declined predictably, but it was the effects on his personality that provided the most profound insights. Drew relates becoming self-conscious and insecure, spurring an awakening that the fitness industry might benefit from a transformation. Drew suggests that if we started from a place of empathy instead of rah-rah exhortations, we might have more success in transforming lives. “Fall in love with the process,” explains Drew. You will also learn why willpower is overrated, how self-awareness might be the missing element for you to achieve weight loss and fitness breakthroughs. After we work through Drew’s vision for an evolved mindset about fitness, Drew shares an incredibly thoughtful and vulnerable story of his personal journey of transformation. Drew describes how his tightly controlled life as an athlete and fitness leader unraveled to reveal a life of lies, deceptions, and self-sabotage—in part driven by a strict religious upbringing and intense athletic experience. Drew keeps it real in talking about the shame of porn addiction, the pain and suffering of divorce, and how he was compelled to awaken to a hopeful new life of authenticity and mindfulness. For anyone wishing to take the first steps toward a more honest and authentic life, Drew offers some quick and memorable tips to establish a healthy baseline of mindfulness, positivity, and gratitude each day. You will get a ton of value and inspiration from Drew during this episode, and you can connect with Drew further at Fit2Fat2Fit ( https://fit2fat2fit.com/ ). *TIMESTAMPS:* When Drew became a personal trainer, he became curious about what it was like to be overweight., thus began his interesting journey from Fit to Fat to Fit.
