"After seeing awesome results with 21 Day Fix and Body Beast, I continued on and pretty much hit a point where I felt like I needed to learn how to keep eating healthy without measuring and counting calories. There were some things that just always felt “right” for me to eat. My whole life I was anti anything fat free and when the Keto diet was all over facebook I was so tempted to try it, but something told me it was unhealthy. Then I heard about Sagi’s metabolic typing test and I jumped on it.
Finally something that was meant for ME. At first I was worried about the questionnaire and worried it wouldn’t make sense to me, but it was pretty simple and easy to fill out. There was a couple things I did have to test out before I could answer, but it wasn’t anything that took more than a few days.
Now, I don’t measure my foods, I just try and stop eating when I’m full. Although I’m still getting the hang of it, and at times I slip, when I do follow my plan I feel STRONG, and FULL, and I feel like my body is loving me back. I still get my Shakeology and I find it much easier to turn down sweets and cravings. I haven’t lost a lot of weight, maybe 3 pounds or so, but I know I’ve lost fat and gained muscle and I feel so much more awake. I love coffee, and I have gotten to the point I only drink one cup a day now, which is crazy for me. I am for sure more toned now and feel so much better about myself. I’m excited to have my husband come home from deployment and see all the changes."
Before I even start - Sagi, thank you so much for the Metabolic Typing and this amazing program. For the first time in a year, I feel like myself again. I AM A HAMMER!
The past year has been a challenge. I started getting sick in March and I've been going through all kinds of tests since then. I'm still waiting on a specialist appointment in April (yes...over a year later) and I'm still not guaranteed any answers. I was bloated and in pain most days. I gained a LOT of weight back and to be truthful, I let it all get to me mentally. Getting the run around from doctors and not getting answers, I gave up. I just gave up on myself.
I did begin to realize that along with whatever was wrong with me, that part of it could be digestion/gut related. I tried cutting out foods here and there, but couldn't figure it out. I was at a point where I realized I couldn't let myself wallow anymore and I had to try and do something to regain my health, when two major things happened. 1. I saw Sagi's post offering Metabolic Typing, which would help me know what foods to eat, what to avoid and how to eat. 2. I saw Sagi's challenge to work out for 28 days to The Master's Hammer for a chance to win 1 of 2 spots to workout on stage with him at Summit. Working out on stage along with Sagi has been a goal of mine for a few years and the timing for all of this was perfect to make me take that first step to getting back to myself again.
The last 28 days was a challenge and a journey for me. I had to learn a completely different way of eating than I was used to. Along with starting at square one with working out, I had a locked SI joint and out of place ribs to deal with as well. But I faced those challenges head on and as far as I'm concerned, I've conquered them. Since starting with the new MT meal plan, my stomach hasn't hurt, I haven't been bloating up at all and surprise of all surprises...my heartburn/acid reflux has gone away. I was literally taking antacids 2-3 times each and every night and now...I can't remember the last time I've taken one. All from changing my diet and eating the foods on my list.
I saw the chiropractor once a week to work on my SI joint and ribs. It was painful to be adjusted/released but I felt relief and I did the stretching and 'homework' he gave me and faithfully did my workouts each day. If I had a day where I was in pain from whatever is wrong, I subbed out my rest day, but I just kept going. It turns out I have a lot more 'good' days than 'bad' and I really surprised myself.
The truth is...life is going to hand us stuff that throws us for a loop and may not be in our plans. It may knock us down BUT it doesn't mean it has to keep us there. I realized I was NOT that person that was going to sit and wallow and let life happen to her. I'm going to control what I'm able to. I took control of what I fueled my body with. I took control of getting myself in motion again. I may have 'only' lost 5 lbs, but I'm damn proud of those 14 inches that are gone and I'm damn proud of the fact that I feel like myself again. It's still not easy. I still have to remind myself each morning WHY I need to get up and work out and why I need to eat the way I do, but I make that conscious decision and I DO what NEEDS to be DONE. Because I can be that sad, unhealthy person in the first picture....or I can be the ME in the second picture that knows I can deal with whatever comes my way. I will NOT be the nail in life again. I'm a HAMMER, damn it.
“Everything is great. I’m super happy with my new diet. I used to eat cookies and sugars all the time, but is crazy how those cravings have disappeared. I’m a fast Oxidizer. I used to eat probably 6 times a day now I have 3 meals and sometimes one snack and, I don’t feel weak or hungry at all. So I can definitely see and feel the results. Its amazing how you can see the difference in your body when you eat healthy, is like your body comes back to life.
I probably should take some after pics to share..I took pics at the beginning to see my progress, and you know even though I haven’t been consistent working out, I’ve been disciplined with this diet and I noticed that I look different, like less belly fat and my skin is more bright, just by eating the right foods! Its true, I tend to question everything, I know that’s not a good thing, and certainly being that way hasn’t helped me at all. I’m trying to change that about myself..there are things sometimes you do without even notice it, but I was hesitating your right, after the first week, I figured it out! the right portions for me, and everything else.
It wasn’t that complicated after all, just my head was getting on the way..One month in: And guess what! Here are my pictures! Its been exactly a month with MT, I took my first pics (the ones on top) on February 25th and the ones on the bottom I took them today March 26. I know is not like a hugeeee difference and as I said I barely work out like I think I did 21 days fix 5 or 6 times, but I feel better now than a month ago and, clothes fits better too!”
“Prior to taking the MT test I had been taken to ER on a few occasions due to my irregular heart rate. My heart rate would escalate to over 220 bpm, and randomly plummet to low 70’s. One visit resulted in having my heart medically stopped, with a crash cart sitting next to me “in case you don’t come back to us, we are ready to shock your heart, you’re in good hands…” as I faded out of consciousness.
Thankfully, I came back with medication in my IV. They could never find a definite reason for my symptoms. I dealt with this for a couple years, my cardiologist finally put me on a portable heart monitor that I wore for an entire month, only to be told there was NOTHING that he could see to result in what I was feeling. He then informed me that I would need to take heart medication for the rest of my life. *the scary part about that is with my heart rate plummeting I could very easily stroke out if I was on the meds. I absolutely refused to take the meds. My heart issues were clearly my most severe problems, but in addition to that I was exhausted ALL the time, needing naps on a daily basis, I couldn’t lose weight, my mood swings were outrageous and I was beginning to hate myself.
That’s when I mentioned to you just a couple of my problems, you suggested the testing and I knew I had noting to lose.
I took the quiz, got the results back very fast and dove into reading all the info. I saved my food list to my phone and began my nutrition overhaul. Literally every single thing I was eating was on my red strike out list of foods to NEVER EVER eat seriously!?!? But I trusted the process and I tried new foods, lots of new foods. I started this back in June if 2016 and have stuck to only the approved foods for my body. The results have been life altering. I no longer have heart issues – NONE! I no longer need to take daily naps and my moods are much better – I mean, I’m still a female but I am at least tolerable lol.
But seriously, this literally save my life. If I had listened to my cardiologist and had been taking heart meds all this time, I’m afraid to think of what that outcome could have been it scares me to think I potentially could have left my two beautiful children without their mom… It make me cry to think of that because I’m a single mom, they are my everything and I can’t imagine leaving them in this world alone.
So I Thank you and Sagi, from the bottom of my heart. My completely healthy and functioning heart.
Oh, and an added extra bonus – I dropped 15 pounds within 3 months of following my food list!
Ohhh I almost forgot! Remember the pic I sent you right before you told me to do the test?!? I had just eaten and I looked like I was 7 months pregnant!? I no longer suffer from that awful bloat after eating!! And that was a huge thing for me, appearance wise, I hated it!”
“Everyone seems to be raaaavvving about a new frap by Starbucks. It’s supposedly ‘magical’ ????????????????…
Ya know what I think is magical??? Sagi Kalev‘s Metabolic Type Testing to help me confirm what I had already suspected…. that my body has a certain threshold in the consumption of any form of sugar and starchy carbs before my metabolism gets thwarted.
What prompted me to do the testing was mainly the prep for my competition using BodyBeast. I had a decent weight drop in my first few weeks then I plateaued and even gained back some after my prep coach decreased carbs and increased cardio Not to mention I was so exhausted!
I’ve always had problem with hypoglycemia and knew that I had a low tolerance for sugar both the bad and the good kind. But I also know that I still need at least a small amount for rapid fuel. But what to do for other fuel sources was mind boggling to me. Like from what food sources can I find it that will give me the energy I need???
After implementing the food recommendations, I can honestly say that I feel so incredibly energetic...even in a caloric deficit. What amazes me more is that even in a deficit I can still lift as heavy as I did before cutting and my endurance level is higher. This testing was truly eye-opening to me. Lots of ah-haaa! moments after reading through it. Thank you so much to Barbie and Sagi!! This was so very helpful.”
“I was kind of nervous to do the testing to be honest. I knew I couldn’t be eating what my body needed. I was always so tired. I could wake up and make breakfast and head straight back to bed. I was afraid of how hard I thought it would be to make changes because I didn’t know how great it would feel.
I did Metabolic Typing because I have gained 30 pounds in the last 2 years. I had been working out and eating well for 6 months with only 5 pounds lost. When I saw the testing I knew it was something I had to try. The results came in and I was so excited and kind of overwhelmed. It seemed like a lot of information but it turned out to be rather easy to understand.
The results honestly scared me. I was eating pretty much everything that my body doesn’t enjoy! I have been eating based on my type for about 7 weeks. In that time I have lost 15 pounds!! I feel a million times better. My stomach no longer aches after I eat. I don’t feel the need to nap all the time. But most importantly I think it’s the best because I no longer feel that “missing out” feeling. I can watch my son eat cookies and chips and not feel like I want some. I don’t have cravings anymore and just feel good all day. I don’t have to use macros anymore. I just am finding out when to stop eating so there is not the “stuffed” feeling. Honestly doing the metabolic testing was the best decision I have made! I can’t wait to see how much better I feel each day!”
"Before I took the Metabolic Typing® test and the MRT test, I was struggling to get a grip on my energy levels, bloating, cramping and GI stress. I was following the portion control meal plans and eating clean by most people’s standards. And even though I have made strides in the way I look aesthetically over the past year and feeling better than when I started with Beachbody, I still didn’t feel great and I couldn’t figure out why. But today marks the first day that I have made it 24 hours feeling ????! ✨????✨
I didn’t need coffee, I didn’t feel tired, I crushed my workouts and even forgot to take my Energize, I didn’t get an afternoon crash, headache, bloating or feel any pain. I am pretty sure this is the way we were intended to feel – GOOD! What did I do differently? My macros were dialed in for what my body tells me it needed and I ate according to my Metabolic Type. I cut out a number of foods that were highlighted on my food intolerance test, avoided artificial sugar at all costs, and added a probiotic.
This may not be the most interesting newsflash posted to the group today, but it’s a small victory that I hope to build on and I just wanted to share my experience in hopes it may encourage a few of you to keep making your health a priority through the ups and downs and to reach out when you need help. Sagi knows what he is talking about!
Thanks again to the Team Kalev family! I am so grateful. ????"
