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 as he documented his 75 pound weight
gain and weight loss journey back in 2011. He’s been featured on TV
shows such as Dr. Oz, Good Morning America, The View and more. His
experiment has become a hit TV show, called Fit to Fat to Fit,
airing on A&E & Lifetime.
Drew is someone who takes
fitness and health very seriously and shares compassion with people
who struggle with losing weight. He believes empathy is something
that's missing from the fitness industry because not everyone
understands how hard it can be. Empathy bridges the gap and is key
to understanding why some people struggle with
transformation.
He’s back in the spotlight with
a new challenge he is calling Fit2Fat2Forty! He will be purposely
gaining weight AGAIN, while following select “fad” diets and doing
them wrong and then losing the pounds by doing them right, all just
in time for his 40th birthday in December
2020.
In this episode, we take a deep dive into Drew’s second
fit2fat2fit journey, the importance of practicing mindfulness, how
your diet affects your sex drive, sleep and more!
"Living this lifestyle,
eating whatever you want and not exercising...it doesn't just make
you gain fat, it affects how you show up in your life. It affects
you mentally and emotionally. You're a different version of
you." Drew
Manning
