From Gaming to Gains: How LEANFIT Helped Me Transform My Health and Strength

I've always been a bigger guy with big shoulders at 6’1”, but I've never been a particularly active big guy. Sure, I played some football in high school, but I was far more into band class, or going home to play WoW. I worked an assortment of jobs varying from teaching drums to electrical, and definitely built a bit of muscle doing the latter, but still just stayed kind of big. After meeting my wife at 22 and having our kids at 23 and 24, I ballooned.
When we first met, we were working out constantly but I couldn't find anything that felt right for long enough to keep up with it. I went from 235 lbs. to 290 lbs. in a year, then spiraled more to 365 over the next two. I was out on Ozempic and dropped down to 330 but had to come off of it, and just stayed there. It was last year, shortly after my 32nd birthday that I was given a possible chance at the career of a lifetime. It was going to be a tough road, but it sounded like what I should do. The only caveat was that it was physical. Very physical. I needed to change, as fast as I could manage safely. I started researching science-based workouts and all of the macros and protein and all that. I landed on a ton of Jeff Nippard videos, and realized I would need to up my protein intake quite substantially.
On a trip to Costco, I was dragging my feet through the protein aisle. So many brands all claiming to be the best, ultimate, pure, extreme… and then I saw clean white packaging, not trying to boast. Clean protein, easily digestible, some BCAA’s, and 25g of protein, in only a 33g scoop? It sounded impossible. I punched in the names of all the proteins into ChatGPT and asked it to compare everything it found and come up with a winner for me, knowing my digestive issues, and that I hate the taste of protein powder. LEANFIT was the clear champion. I bought my first bag in November of 2024 and had finished it before the end of the month. I bought the chocolate next, and ordered another for delivery… the shopper couldn't find it and substituted it with Vega sport… I was cautiously optimistic, my sister likes Vega after all… it was horrible, after LEANFIT. I lasted two days on it before going to Costco myself and buying a bag of vanilla and a bag of chocolate while they were still on sale.
In those three short months, only one of which has been in an actual proper gym, I have dropped nearly 20lbs and taken off about 3% body fat. I have a long way to go, but my strength increases have already been incredible. I know I will get there, with consistency and with LEANFIT.
Long story short, you've got a customer for life.
