A personal experiment paired with a structured fitness plan

Drew Manning frames this health-and-fitness book around a yearlong self-experiment: intentionally gaining 75 pounds, then working to lose it, to examine challenges he saw among clients and followers. Alongside the account of that process, the book lays out the eating and exercise plan he used, with meal plans, recipes, and workouts ranging from beginner movements to more advanced training. It also addresses the emotional and social pressures Manning associates with weight gain, including self-doubt, judgment, and changes in identity. Contributions from his wife, Lynn, extend the account to its effects on marriage and family, foregrounding the role of support during a major lifestyle change.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adults interested in a personal account of weight gain and weight loss
  • Readers seeking meal ideas and scalable workout guidance
  • Those interested in the emotional and family dimensions of fitness change

Book overview

Drawing from the lessons and insights of his breakout website, Fit2Fat2Fit.com, personal trainer Drew Manning delivers the story of his quest to go from fit to fat to fit again in one year in order to better understand the weight-loss struggles of his clients and the online community. Drew embarked on this journey to prove to clients, website followers, and people across the country that it is possible to get back into shape--and his bottomless desire to kindle a new hope for his readers comes through on every page of Fit2Fat2Fit.

With before and after (and after...) photos to that tell their own striking story, and intimate reflections from Drew's wife Lynn, Fit2Fat2Fit is more than a spectacle or a gimmick; it's an inspiring story, and sound proof that anyone can reach the level of fitness they desire to make themselves happy.

 

This isn't just a story; it's a complete roadmap to your own transformation:
