The Diet Doc

The Diet Doc The Diet Doc, LLC, is the parent company to many health, fitness, nutrition, and behavioral projects. The majority of adults begin a diet at least once a year.

If you've struggled with losing weight and dieted your way toward a sluggish metabolism, The Diet Doc gives you new hope for success! Yet statistics reveal almost 95% of us gain back any weight we lose. Why? Most books and programs start out with a single plan that may work for someone. You're not "someone" – you're YOU! You have unique genetics, a distinctive body type, different goals, and a one

-of-a-kind life. Someone else's plan isn't going to fit. Complicated exchange lists, “easy-to- follow” menus, and cookie-cutter diets aren't the answer – they lead to a high failure rate. The answer is to work with a qualified professional who can help you understand nutrition and what's best for YOUR body. Imagine having that expert help you through the whole process. This group is for those of you interested in health, wellness, nutrition, a razor sharp mindset, and a fit lifestyle!!

Robert Kiyosaki predicts the worst economic crash in history has begun. Finance titans Jeremy Grantham and Gary Shilling agree. Warren Buffet has been burying cash in his backyard for months. But massive firms like Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, Oppenheimer, and Yardeni Research are betting on continued growth and sunnier days.

You just want to know how to grow your coaching business.
--
LAUNCH: I believe the chances of the global economy impacting your coaching practice are near zero. My biggest upward surges were generated during recessions. Even during the Great Depression, with unimaginable devastation, 75% of Americans remained employed and life moved forward. A motivated entrepreneur can outwork a national downturn.
--
GROW: The question at hand is when to borrow money. Consider it in reverse. When would you lend a friend cash for their coaching business? If they don't have many clients or appreciable revenue, but said, "I just need $50k to rent space, buy a few things, or pay living expenses while I build," you might turn them down. As would any lending institution. What would change your mind? Proof. Growth. Trajectory.
--
SCALE: If you have created steady income and a recent history of revenue development, and now want to fund an acceleration opportunity, the risk is easier to manage. If you're not building momentum via all the bootstrapping, free, word-of-mouth, creative opportunities that prove your idea has value, borrowing might only ensure a faster demise with a more painful outcome. Dollars and decimals reflect reality, they don't create a new one. Stagnation is a mirror. It's not a money thing.

NOT to say their aren’t influencers out there that are impeccable in the nutrition coaching space 🤌😘 we see you, applaud you, support you.

But so many aspiring nutrition coaches are following the influencers solely from their following count and pictures.

Theirs a reason a lot of our published content is what it is — education based (thank you Education Director ), exercise science based (what’s up Training Director ), dietetics based (with RD ), macronutrient based (with the founder of macro tracking ) AND equal parts fun and relatable (with us the Directors of Client Experience ).

Our team is here to equip you with the credentials to be a Nutrition Professional in a crowded space of trendy misinformation. Not only do we back the NAMS certification but we support you through and after it too 🍴❤️💪

Never gets old. Twelve years after launching the most important nutrition coach certification in history, I still giggle a little every time I hand-sign and seal a graduate's certificate.

PREMISE: White can, Alani, or Ghost? So many tasty options to choose from, but what’s the buzz (tell me what’s happenin’ [IYKYK]) with energy drinks? How effective are they aside from their caffeine amount? Are the other ingredients necessary? Are the claims on them accurate or placebo?
--
METHODS: In a recent RCT, 21 exercise-trained participants (9 men, 21 women; x age= 22) consumed 200mg of caffeine and underwent mood, attention, and physical performance tests (handgrip strength and 1-min max push-ups). They were randomly assigned to either a popular sugar-free energy drink (containing tyrosine and alpha-GPC) or a caffeine-only control drink. After a one-week washout, they returned for a second visit, consuming the opposite drink and completing the same tests.
--
RESULTS: There were no significant differences in the effects of caffeine and energy drinks on any physical (p=0.794 for handgrip strength; p=0.843 for push-ups) or mental measure (p=0.590 for mood state).
--
APPLICATION: Researchers found that energy drink ingredients beyond caffeine may not benefit active individuals. Similar conclusions exist for B-vitamins, taurine, carnitine, and other active ingredients. Decaffeinated energy drinks generally provide no more than a placebo effect; however, higher caffeine doses (300mg or 3mg/kg) may enhance mood and performance. While some ingredients, like l-theanine, may aid specific mental tasks, choose energy drinks based on taste, cost, and tolerable/appropriate caffeine content. The rest is likely for profit.

"The people the world needs right now are bad at business." - Tarzan Kay, Consent-Based Business Educator

The two biggest reasons coaches fail:
1. You went to school for health, exercise physiology, or nutrition. You don't know what you don't know when it comes to sustaining a business.
2. You mistake the reality of an online presence. You think competing against everyone in the world behind your keyboard will lead to success.
--
LAUNCH: Clients want the passionate, empathetic, selfless coach who loves spending time with them. The person you see virtue signalling and ranting online to build audience isn't you. Find your voice and speak - virtuously - but online content primarily confirms quality and educates current clients. Don't rely on it for revenue out of the gate.
--
GROW: If you don't find fulfillment in blathering meaningless opinions into the social media abyss, do you know what kind of coach you are? The kind clients love. They want you eyeball to eyeball. Connecting. And they'll refer friends.
--
SCALE: Embrace being bad at business. I'm the worst. We're the coaches people need. You don't need an MBA - you need a calendar, a phone, and a good spot for coffee. Go find your clients.

PREMISE: Glycogen is stored carbs in the body (liver and muscles) and plays a role during moderate- to high-intensity exercise. There’s debate that resistance training burns more glycogen vs. running, but what does the actual data say? How much does lifting deplete glycogen?
--
METHODS: A systematic review and meta-analysis of 20 studies (N=180 participants;168 males, 12 females) aimed to investigate the acute effects of lifting on glycogen storage amounts. The intensity of resistance training was assessed based on the percentage of one rep-max, duration, and the number of sets performed. Glycogen levels were measured before and after each training session using muscle biopsies.
--
RESULTS: The average glycogen depletion from a lifting session was only about 21%. Taken directly from the authors: “Glycogen depletion from typical resistance training workouts is relatively modest and does not deplete enough glycogen to compromise performance” (p. 11).
--
APPLICATION: Since weightlifting doesn’t deplete much glycogen, which can be replenished within 24 hours (see previous post), carb intake is insignificant for most lifters who don’t engage in high-intensity activities. This systematic review revealed that PWO carb intake generally doesn’t impact performance, unless you’re performing over 10 sets per muscle group. Muscles can perform well on low-carb intakes, even keto diets.

Technique Tuesday

"How many sets should I do?" is one of the most common questions in the gym — and one of the most butchered answers.
The honest response: it depends. On your training age, your genetics, and even the specific muscle group. A beginner and an advanced lifter do not need the same volume, and treating them the same is how a seasoned lifter stalls or a newbie ends up in a body cast. Here's the framework.

NOVICE (1–2 yrs) — roughly 6-10 sets per muscle group per week.
New lifters respond to almost anything. Sneeze near a barbell and you'll grow. More isn't better here — it's just fatigue you can't recover from yet. Nail technique, progress the load, and ride those newbie gains. Don't waste them chasing volume you don't need.

INTERMEDIATE (2–4 yrs) — roughly 12–16 sets per muscle group per week.
The easy gains slow down, so the dial turns up. This is where most lifters live and where smart programming starts to really matter. You'll likely split volume across two sessions per muscle group per week to recover and still hit quality sets and reps.

ADVANCED (4+ yrs) — roughly 16–20+ sets per muscle group per week.
Years of training make your body stubborn, so it takes more work to force new adaptation. But this is where the cliff lives — volume that grows an advanced lifter would flatten a novice into a puddle of pain. More only works if you can recover from it.

Quick note: these are about adaptation, not the calendar. Two people at the same year mark can be worlds apart.
Here's the part most lifters miss: you want to make progress on the LEAST amount of work possible.

Volume is a currency, and you only get so much of it. If you think need 20 sets to grow as a beginner, you've blown your whole budget with nowhere left to go. Grow on 6-10 and you've got years of runway to add more as your body requires it. This is your minimum effective dose — the smallest amount that drives progress.
Anything past it isn't extra stimulus. It's just fatigue in a stimulus costume.

Train for your level. Not the level of the influencers you follow online!

They also aren’t likely to tell you that if you haven’t developed a good coaching relationship with them.

So please make sure you aren’t just teaching them nutrition science, caloric values, and energy balance…

Teach them that they’re a human, even if they have body comp goals.

Learn what stresses them out. Ask about their family. Celebrate their wins outside of the scale. Understand what their days actually look like.

Because clients don’t struggle with nutrition in a vacuum. They struggle with busy schedules, emotional eating, lack of support, perfectionism, exhaustion, and real life.

The most effective coaches aren’t always the ones with the deepest understanding of metabolism.

They’re the ones who create enough trust for clients to be honest.

Human connection is not separate from coaching.

It IS coaching.
