“Everything seems impossible till you do it. Nothing seems impossible now.”
Brandon – V Shred Client 

“I tried working out before I found your program. I didn’t really know what I was doing, just throwing weights around. I wasn’t seeing any progress,” remembers Brandon before discovering V Shred. 

Brandon wasn’t exactly sure what he was looking for when he stumbled across V Shred, he just knew he had gained about 80 pounds, was unhealthy, unhappy, and something had to change.

“I was sitting on the couch eating some cheetos or something and flipping through Facebook, and I saw your ad on there, and I clicked on it, watched the videos, and thought I’m gonna do it, this is it,”  he says.

Brandon’s starting point was 210 pounds and close to 28 percent body fat. He says he jiggled when he walked and got too winded to play with his young kids. 

Now? After a grueling 18 months of going back and forth between Ripped In 90 Days and Clean Bulk — Brandon is 151 pounds, 7.8% body fat, and feels the healthiest he has in his entire life!  

“That was the coolest part about the whole thing is watching my body shrink and muscles are starting to develop, and you can see them,” says Brandon

Brandon loved our programs so much he completed Ripped In 90 Days a total of 6 times and Clean Bulk twice. But says the custom diet plan was the real game-changer, especially during his clean bulk phases.  

“It was cool because it was the right kind of food. I am putting on muscle and watching myself get bigger, not fatter.”

Brandon’s results also motivated one of his sons to hit the gym and his wife to jump on board too! 

“She did at home workouts, lost 30 pounds,” he says. 

Brandon says it’s not just the aesthetic changes, inspiring others, or even the health benefits from losing weight — he says his entire life has changed for the better since finding V Shred a year and a half ago. 

“My confidence level has gone up a lot. It’s really reflected in my life. My career has taken off. Bought our first house, got both our kids cars, 3 kids, two are teens.” 

The 43-year old says the biggest advice he has for anyone thinking about purchasing one of our programs and getting started is simple — invest in yourself! 

“I feel like I can do anything. It’s not just the training, and it’s not just the food, it’s the package deal, everything has come into play where Over the past year and a half I’ve seen myself do things I didn’t know I could do!”

We all come in different shapes and sizes, referred to as our body type.

You can be healthy or unhealthy with any body type. Just because you are “skinny” doesn’t mean you are healthy, and just because you are “curvy” or “big-boned” doesn’t mean you are unhealthy.

But the shape of your body can be telling of your overall health and how easily you can lose weight, put on muscle, and get in better shape. 

This body type theory originated way back in the 1940s by a psychologist and scientist named William Sheldon. His research determined there are three body types based on bone structure and body composition.

• Endomorphs
• Mesomorphs
• Ectomorphs

There are no doubt outside factors that contribute to your body type, such as lifestyle, gender, age, and even hormones. But Sheldon concluded that body types are mainly inherited (genetic.)

Because of this, reaching weight loss and fitness goals may be achieved faster and easier using an individualized diet and exercise plan that is BEST for your genetics. 

No, you can’t change your genetics or bone structure, but you do have some control over changing your body type! It’s not necessarily fixed. Research has shown that diet and training can influence your body type, allowing you to transform over time.

No matter your shape, size, or genetics —  you can achieve the health and fitness goals you desire. You just may need to eat and train in a specific way that will help you work with your body, rather than against it.

Today we are focusing on the ENDOMORPH body type.

This body type is known to be the hardest to have in terms of managing your weight and overall fitness. We will tell you how to know if you have an endomorph body type and the best way to eat and train to achieve the best results. 

WHAT IS AN ENDOMORPH BODY TYPE

If you find yourself to be more round and on the heavier side, hold on to more body fat than muscle, tend to gain weight fast and lose it slowly, and/or weight loss has been a struggle most of your life — you are likely an endomorph.

Here are a few key traits of ENDOMORPHS:

• High levels of body fat
• Big-boned, stocky, wide, or curvy
• Round or apple shaped
• Wide waist and hips
• Shorter arms and legs
• Can’t “get away” with overeating or eating whatever you want
• Trouble losing and/or keeping weight off
• Puts on weight or muscle easier in the lower half of the body 
• Can develop strength much easier than losing fat
• A slower metabolism

If you are an endomorph, that doesn’t automatically mean you are less healthy than other body types, but it does mean that you may have to work a little harder to lose excess body fat. 

Endomorphs may also benefit from supplementing with quality thermogenics that can help boost the metabolism and aid in helping burn stubborn fat faster and easier.

WHAT TYPE OF DIET IS BEST FOR AN ENDOMORPH

Endomorphs often need to be a little bit more strict with their diet than other body types, and because of a potential overproduction of insulin, the endomorph body type likely doesn’t manage carbs as well as the other body types.

In short, this means if you are an endomorph, you may function best by eating high protein, moderate to high fat, and lower carbs. 

That is NOT to say you should avoid carbs if you are an endomorph! You just need to be mindful of how many calories come from carbs and focus on eating whole-grain fiber filled carbs instead of refined ones. 

Some examples of these types of carbs include:

• Sweet potatoes
• Quinoa
• Brown rice
• Beans
• Oats
• Whole Wheat Bread
• Low/Moderate GI Fruits

You can see the best calorie range and macro breakdown for an endomorph body type by using the macro calculator in the V Shred app for iOS or Android.

In addition to a higher protein and lower carb diet, some excellent supplements for endomorphs include:

• A quality thermogenic to help give boost the metabolism
• A nighttime thermogenic to keep fat burn going virtually 24/7
• A pre-workout to help bring intensity and extra calorie burn to workouts
• Turmeric to help speed up recovery time and aid in fat burn

To take out all the guesswork of which supplements are best for an Endomorph and get the best bang for your buck, you may want to look into going with a Fat Loss Stack — like this one.

WHAT TYPE OF EXERCISE IS BEST FOR AN ENDOMORPH

If you are an endomorph, it is key to include a proper weight training program that will help you build more calorie-burning muscle. You will also need to include a little more high-intensity cardio than other body types.

Don’t let this discourage you! It’s still totally possible to reach your goals in a healthy, sustainable, and timely manner — you just need to be strategic. 

For endomorphs, some research concludes that it is most beneficial to include compound exercises and circuit style training.

Compound exercises utilize several muscle groups at once.  Some compound exercise examples include:

• Deadlifts
• Squats
• Pushups
• Bench Press
• Lunges

Circuit training isn’t a specific exercise; it’s a training style where you use short but intense bouts of exercise routines with very brief resting periods in-between.

Doing your workouts “circuit style” gets your heart rate up higher than other training styles. The higher your heart rate, the more calories you burn – which is vital for endomorphs! 

Being an endomorph means you have low muscle mass, so you CANNOT neglect resistance training!! But because fat loss is a priority for the endomorph body type, you will need to prioritize cardio.

Any cardio is better than none, but the best cardio for an endomorph is said to be HIIT (high-intensity interval training.) 

Here are a few examples of short HIIT cardio workouts that are perfect for beginners but can also be adapted to all fitness levels. 

The V Shred programs Fat Loss Extreme for Women or Fat Loss Extreme for Men are  great examples of this combo of training and cardio.

ARE YOU AN ENDOMORPH?

One of the best ways to determine your body type is to look in the mirror and, without judgment, give yourself a good honest look. 

That said, our eyes can play tricks on us, making it hard to decipher what we really see in the mirror. Some people can even fall into two different body types.

That is why we created a FREE BODY TYPE QUIZ that anyone can take that will help you determine what body type you have.

It’s only a few questions; you get your results instantly and will even be given free tips for the ideal workout style and diet for your lifestyle and goals!

You can take it HERE! 

WHAT IF YOU AREN’T AN ENDOMORPH?!

Make sure and check the blog over the next couple of weeks! We are going to talk in-depth about the other two body types – Mesomorph and Ectomorph! 

The post The Influence Body Type Has On Weight Loss appeared first on V Shred.

If you are one of our clients/customers, we hope that we’ve been able to clear up some of that for you with our free body type quiz and easy-to-follow programs, and recipe-based meal plans.

 If you are new around here, you can find out more information about our dieting approach at the end of this article. 

Today we hope to clear up any confusion you may have about a term being used a lot in the diet and fitness space — Metabolic Confusion.

Don’t worry. It’s really not confusing at all.

The term “confusion” comes from what this eating style has the potential to do for helping create a healthier metabolism, which is essential for burning more calories and promoting fat loss.

Some studies show that metabolic confusion can help your metabolism work harder, possibly leading you to lose weight easier or bust past a weight loss plateau. 

While metabolic confusion is technically a type of “diet,” — it’s really more of an eating style where you alternate your daily calorie intake instead of aiming to eat the same number of calories each day.

The best part is that you can use this approach with whatever diet is best for you, your body type, and your goals. 

Maybe you’ve heard of it, or perhaps this is the first time you’ve seen it mentioned. Either way, it’s a topic worth educating yourself on!

Let’s dive into what metabolic confusion is and if it’s something you might want to consider, as well as two different ways to easily incorporate it into your healthy lifestyle, especially if your goal is fat loss! 

WHAT IS METABOLIC CONFUSION

As the name suggests, metabolic confusion is when a person attempts to “confuse” (and hopefully improve) their metabolism.

Eating too few calories (dieting) for an extended time can cause a major decrease in your metabolism. Basically, your body learns to  “adapt” to fewer calories. If this happens, your weight loss may slow or stop.

To break this plateau, some experts believe you need to adjust your diet or exercise routine to start losing weight again.

Metabolic confusion is one way you could potentially do this. 

The theory behind a metabolic confusion diet is that by varying your calorie intake from day to day instead of eating the same amount of calories daily, you’ll trick your metabolism, so it doesn’t get used to the calorie deficit you are in while dieting, leading to an increased basal metabolic rate (the number of calories your body needs to survive.) 

Metabolic confusion does not restrict food groups and can be achieved by using several different eating approaches that mix high and low-calorie days, also known as  “calorie shifting.” 

We will dive into three different methods you can use a little further down in this article. First, let’s talk a little bit about why it may be an approach you want to consider and what the experts have to say about it. 

WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO CONSIDER METABOLIC CONFUSION

Anyone can incorporate this eating style, but if fat loss and a healthier metabolism are your goals, incorporating metabolic confusion is certainly something to consider. 

Or maybe you’ve tried different styles of dieting, from keto to intermittent fasting or even a flexible dieting approach, and still find it hard to lose weight — then a metabolic confusion diet is no doubt worth trying out! 

You can adopt this eating style anytime you wish; however, we think it’s a great idea to incorporate it BEFORE a plateau occurs. 

Our favorite method of metabolic confusion is carb cycling, but there are numerous approaches you can take, which we will dive into in just a second!

But first, we want to tell you what science says so you can better decide if it’s an approach you want to consider.

WHAT DOES THE SCIENCE SAY ABOUT METABOLIC CONFUSION

To date, there isn’t a ton of research that supports whether or not calorie cycling has a significant impact on your resting metabolism. 

There have been studies done that show using a metabolic confusion dieting approach does positively affect a person’s resting metabolic rate, as well as body weight — compared to eating the same number of deficit calories every day. 

The theory is that on a typical low-calorie diet, where you stick to a set calorie deficit (the same calories/macros) every day over a specific period, your metabolism will adjust to these low calories at some point, and your weight loss may slow or stop. 

They have concluded that to break this plateau, confusing your metabolism can help you start losing weight again, or even better, prevent plateaus from happening.

Despite little scientific backing, many nutrition experts swear by it, and at V Shred, we believe in using this dieting method because we’ve seen it work for hundreds of thousands of our clients and customers. 

DIFFERENT EATING STYLES TO ACHIEVE METABOLIC CONFUSION

There isn’t one set way to incorporate metabolic confusion into your diet, and it isn’t something you need to do forever. 

Most people incorporate this type of eating a few times a year – anywhere from a month to several months at a time. 

Here are the two most common methods used for creating a metabolic confusion diet.

Calorie Cycling

One approach to metabolic confusion is simply varying your calorie intake by splitting your week into high and low-calorie days.

Unlike carb cycling (which we will touch on next) – these calories can come from any macro (protein, carbs, or fats.)

However, we don’t suggest you take calories away from your protein macros. It’s best to set your protein intake and leave it alone and only adjust your calories from fat and carbs. 

How would you go about this?

For instance, let’s say your daily calorie value to lose weight is 1500 calories per day. This is just an example. You would need to use your own personal calories. 

1500 calories per day =  10,500 calories per week.

When you are on a “normal” diet, you would eat 1500 calories every day, and by the end of the week, you would have consumed 10,500 calories. 

With calorie cycling, you would still get in 10,500 calories for the week, but you wouldn’t eat 1500 calories every day. Some days you might eat 1200 calories, and some days you might eat 2000. 

This can be achieved in many different ways. The most popular method is to have two back-to-back high-calorie days followed by 5 days at the low-calorie number. 

Example:
Monday-Friday: 1350 calories each day.
Saturday & Sunday: 1875 calories each day.
Total calories: 10,500

Sunday, Monday, Tuesday: 1200 calories each day.
Wednesday & Thursday: 1350 calories each day.
Friday & Saturday: 2100 calories each day.
Total calories: 10,500

The combinations for calorie intake are limitless as long as you stay within your target weekly calorie range. It is also not suggested that you do more than two high days in a row.

Carb Cycling

Instead of calorie cycling, some dieters opt to cycle carb intake. You keep your protein and fat intake the same 7 days a week, and your carb intake is the only thing that changes. 

This is the metabolic conditioning eating style we prefer here at V Shred because solid research backs this strategy to be optimal for leptin – the hormone in your body that affects your metabolic rate.

The theory is that the extra calories from carbs on high carb days will temporarily boost leptin levels – leading to a boost in metabolism,  more satiety when you go back to a low carb day, and increased fat burn.

For this metabolic confusion strategy, you would eat low to moderate carbs some days and high carbs on other days. 

An example of a typical carb cycling eating plan is one day of moderate carb intake, followed by four days of low carb intake,  followed by one day of high carb intake.

Example:
If you typically eat 200 carbs every day, by the end of the week, you would have consumed 1400 carbs.

On a carb cycling plan, you may do this instead:

Sunday: 250 carbs (moderate carb day)
Monday – Thursday: 100 carbs (low carb days)
Friday & Saturday: 375 carbs (high carb days)

Monday-Wednesday:  100 carbs (low carb days)
Thursday: 250 carbs (moderate carb day)
Friday: 100 carbs (low carb days)
Saturday & Sunday: 375 carbs (high carb days)

Using either example above, your total carb count for the week would still equal 1400 by the end of the week. 

Just like with calorie cycling, the number of carbs consumed and cycle length varies by person.

But in general, most days should be low carb days, and it is best if you don’t have more than two consecutive high carb days. If you have a high carb day, the next day should be a low carb day, or at the least, a moderate carb day. 

FINAL THOUGHTS ON METABOLIC CONFUSION

While you can’t really “trick” your metabolism, incorporating a metabolic confusion eating style may help prevent your metabolism from slowing down, which can make it harder to lose weight.

It is still a diet where you are restricting calories, but most people like calorie/carb shifting because it allows for more flexibility and mimics a more “normal” eating style of eating more some days than others. 

There are also certain body types that may benefit from metabolic confusion more than others. For example, some studies claim that creating metabolic confusion through carb cycling is the best way to help endomorphs lose weight. While mesomorphs and ectomorphs might need to take a different approach.

If you don’t know your body type, below you will find a link to a free quiz you can take to find out in minutes! 

The biggest perk of adopting metabolic confusion into your nutrition plan is that it gives you a mental break from the daily grind of dieting without using methods such as “cheat meals” or “cheat days,”  which can create a negative relationship with food for some dieters. 

If all of this seems too complicated, or it would be a headache to vary your calories or carbs day-to-day, it might be best to stick to the same calories daily and incorporate a weekly free meal instead or have more frequent diet breaks if you are restricting calories for a long time.

If you would like to know if metabolic confusion is an eating style that would work for you and your unique body type…

The post Metabolic Confusion: Is it a metabolism hack or hoax appeared first on V Shred.

Zabrina’s weight loss journey started a little different from most of our customers. Her “breaking point” didn’t come about because a doctor told her she needed to lose weight if she wanted to live a long life, after trying on a swimsuit, because she hated every picture she saw of herself, or any other “why” that typically pushes our customers to start a weight-loss program.

“I was in a very dark place in my life for a second. I was starting my surgery center and had a lot of stress. I did get pregnant and had a miscarriage in the surgery center, and fell into depression. I needed to do something quickly to snap me out of it. I figured I needed to do something drastic. So I shaved my head,” says Zabrina. 

The 45-year-old nurse, wife, and mom of four says it was then that she really noticed her weight was an issue. 

“When I did that, I can’t hide anymore, right? All my flaws, my weight was really evident at that point. Even though it helped me snap out of the depression of miscarriage, I actually dipped a little into depression again because of my weight.”

Coincidently, just a few days later, Zabrina was scrolling through her social media feed when she came across an advertisement for V Shred. 

But it wasn’t a crazy before & after  transformation that led her to click the link, take our body type quiz and purchase a program. It was a video that mentioned learning how to eat! 

“There was a video that said you can learn how to eat, let me teach you about macros, your body type, are you an endomorph, mesomorph, and I was like this is so interesting. It didn’t feel pushy or like you wanted to push some program on us, but it was more like open and friendly, and you wanted to educate us, and that is what I grasped off.”

Without hesitation, Zabrina purchased Fat Loss Xtreme and got to work! 

“I wanted to look in the mirror, and I wanted to love myself, and I was having a hard time doing that. So I knew I needed to take matters into my own hands and transform what I was seeing in the mirror. You gave me those tools to do that.” says Zabrina

In just 90 days, Zabrina totally transformed her body. 

She lost 53 pounds, went from 32% body fat to 16.6%, and dropped roughly 10 clothing sizes!!!

“It rejuvenated me; it’s made me happier as a person, which obviously goes into every aspect of my life. My marriage is better than ever, I have energy to be with my kids now. I have older kids too , and my 23 and 19-year-old, no one even believes I am their mom right now,” says Zabrina.

Of course, she loves the aesthetic changes and the new outlook on life that came with losing so much weight, but Zabrina says her favorite part about the journey is that she finally knows how to eat! 

“It was so obvious to me I had no idea how to eat. I thought by starving yourself, that was the key. Just don’t eat, and you will lose weight. That is so wrong. Your body has a memory, your body needs fuel, and you need to workout, and you need carbs.”

Thanks to everything our programs teach, Zabrina now has the tools she needs to continue exercising and eating right for the rest of her life. 

“Once I started seeing what was happening to my body, I was like, why am I gonna stop,” says Zabrina.

She has also become quite the advocate for V Shred — recruiting co-workers, friends, and even her mom to take our free body type quiz and jump on board! 

“There is a point in time where something has to give because as a mom, as a nurse, or as a wife, you always have to put your best foot forward, and if you are not at your best, nothing around you is going to be at it’s best.”

Zabrina isn’t sure what her next fitness goal is; all she knows is that she is happier and healthier than she has ever been and has no plans to ever look back!

“I was talking to my girlfriends the other day, and they were like I wish I was 21 again, and I’m like – I don’t! I’m perfectly fine being fabulous at 45.” 

Her advice to anyone reading this .. on the fence .. unsure if they should get started?! 

“Put everything, every bit of energy into making the best version of yourself, and the rest of your life will fall into place.  That is what happened to me. I’m eternally grateful. It’s been an eye-opening experience, and I feel totally empowered right now.”

Zabrina has such a powerful story, doesn’t she?! We are honored that she trusted us with her health and humbled that we could play a part in helping her become so happy and healthy!

Renae – V Shred Member

Renae is a wife and full-time mom of four with a very demanding career. She could have easily used “busy” as an excuse to keep scrolling when she saw a V Shred advertisement pop up on her social media, but something about our unique approach to “dieting” caught her eye.

“I was interested in the fact that I could still eat carbs and do the carb cycling, and that was really an important part to me,” remembers Renae. 

After reading, Renae says she felt encouraged that there might actually be a program out there that she could stick to! So she instantly purchased the V Shred exercise and diet program that our fitness quiz said was best for her goals and body type.

Then she did something VITAL to her overall success in the program. It’s one of our biggest fit tips and something most people skip and later regret not doing!

Nope, she didn’t rush to buy supplements or feel pressured to join a fancy gym. Our programs don’t require either of those things!

The first thing Renae did to set herself up for success didn’t cost a single penny!! 

She set out to discover her unique why.

“When I started the program, I was kinda like, what am I really working towards. A couple weeks in, I decided I want to feel good wearing a bathing suit,” says Renae.

We teach our clients how to “find your why” because it’s vital to successfully reach your short and long-term health and fitness goals. 

Renae was off to a good start with discovering hers but needed to dig a little bit deeper than wanting to confidently wear a swimsuit. 

“I was in a size 8 or 10, and they were tight on me.  I didn’t feel good about them. I’d look down and see rolls of whatever and was like, I don’t like the way I look. I just wanted to feel like I looked good again.”

That still wasn’t specific enough. Renae knew there was more, and after further soul searching — it finally clicked!

Renae realized it had been a long time since she saw a picture of herself and had something positive to say! Right then and there, she knew her why and the goal she needed to set to keep herself motivated. 

“I booked a vacation, and I called the resort ahead of time and I booked a professional photographer to take pictures while I was there.”

She also kept her bikini on display as a constant visual reminder of her why and the time-stamped goal only a few months away! 

“I hung my bathing suit on the mirror, and every morning I’d get up and do my workouts,” says Renae. 

Renee established her clear why, set a big goal, and visualized her goal self early in the program. Important psychological steps that helped Renae lose 22 pounds after just one round of Toned In 90 Days!

That is an impressive amount of weight to lose in only 3 months, but seeing a lower number on the scale isn’t what wowed Renae the most. What she really noticed was the calorie-burning lean muscle she gained!

“I think that was the big difference for me. By putting on that muscle, all the fat just started melting off,” says Renae. 

Lean muscle changed the shape of her body so much that there were times Renae says she didn’t even recognize herself! 

“There was a time in the gym I was walking by a mirror and looked over, and I thought, oh who is that and I went oh my goodness that’s me. When you start to make a lot of changes, your mind doesn’t quite catch up sometimes to how fast your body changes on this program.”

Renae went on her goal vacation and, at 43 years young, confidently rocked that bikini photoshoot. 

The pictures speak for themselves…. Renae looks INCREDIBLE!!

But what does Renae think? Was she able to reach her ultimate goal of looking at pictures of herself and liking what she sees?

“When I got these pictures back, I was floored that I liked pictures of me, and I was floored about the way I knew I felt inside when I was doing those,” smiles Renae.

Renae even printed her favorite photos and put them on display! So now, instead of a bikini hanging on her mirror, she has pictures of herself wearing it that serve as motivation moving forward.

“I never want to go back to how I felt before V Shred. I want to feel like this as far forward as I can feel this way,” says Renae. 

Aside from changing the shape of her body and reaching her confidence goals, Renae says something else really cool happened while doing Toned In 90 Days. 

Despite the addition of daily exercise, meal prep, and everything else that comes with living a healthy lifestyle —  her busy days ended up feeling much less demanding!! 

“I felt good and wasn’t tired. I just feel healthier now. It’s just a complete difference from what I felt before. I was in a better mood and I even felt like I had more time because I was getting things done faster.”

Like all of our clients that have success with our programs, Renae says now that she knows what it feels like to be healthy, happy, and confident — she will never go back to her old ways! 

“I never want to go back to how I felt before V Shred. I want to feel like this as far forward as I can feel this way.”

Thank you, Renae, for trusting us to help you reach 

such a big goal and for sharing your story!

You are such an inspiration!!

If you are reading right now and are … 

• Uncertain if you have the time to get started?! 
• Not sure if you are capable of seeing results like Renae achieved?! 
• Don’t know how to discover your why?!
• Are scared to set big goals out of fear of failure?! 

Renae has two main pieces of advice for you! 

First, she wants people to know that V shred is not too good to be true or like many quick fix programs out there. She says she is proof that our programs work as long as YOU do! 

“I hope other people can see that it works and have the courage to do it because it’s life-changing. They just need to take the first step, and as soon as they see results, they are never gonna want to quit.” 

Her second piece of advice is probably geared a little more toward the ladies, and that is — don’t be intimidated or hesitant to pick up the weights!!!

“As a woman, ya know, I think a lot of girls shy away from it but don’t be afraid to get in there and really lift some weight.” 

And if you want to get started on YOUR journey to being our next V Shred testimony, it’s best to get started where all of our most successful clients do — by taking our BODY TYPE QUIZ! 

It’s free for everyone (even if you aren’t a V Shred member) ..  only 6 questions .. tells you your body type in seconds  … and then gives you the best ways you should exercise and eat based on your genetics!

We can’t wait to help you step into your own unique greatness through living a healthy and fit lifestyle!

Actually, no matter who you are or what your backstory is, any amount of weight loss is worth celebrating. You shouldn’t base “success” via a number on the scale, and our client Amy is just one example of that! 

We know you will be  inspired by her emotional story of bouncing back after a drunk driver almost took her life and be motivated by how V Shred helped her achieve things she never thought were possible. 

Amy’s Emotional V Shred Review and Transformation Story

You wouldn’t know by looking at her now, but 19 years ago, Amy’s body was so shattered that doctors didn’t think she would live, let alone walk again. 

“In 2002, I was walking down the road and was hit by a drunk driver.  I went to the hospital, and they didn’t know if they would be able to save my life,” says Amy. 

In the blink of an eye, Amy’s life forever changed. She suffered both life-changing and life-threatening injuries.

“My right leg was broken in three places, left leg broken in five. Both ankles were broken. My pelvis was cracked in three places. I was a mess.” 

Before surgeons could even think about saving her legs, Amy had to be rushed into emergency open-heart surgery to repair a torn aorta.

Once doctors successfully repaired her heart, the lengthy process of saving her legs began, but Amy says doctors weren’t optimistic.

“I had two inches of bone gone out of my right leg. So the doctors didn’t think I’d be able to walk,” remembers Amy.

Doctors also told Amy that she wouldn’t be able to have kids. But this remarkable woman beat all odds!

Not only did Amy walk again, she recently completed one of our most challenging workout programs — with her two kids sweating by her side! 

That’s right, despite the doctor’s predictions, Amy not only survived and walked again, but she also had two children who are now ages 15 and 7 and love doing V Shred workouts with her! 

“That is a blessing in itself,” says Amy. 

Amy no doubt has a remarkable survival story, but let’s rewind to before she discovered V Shred and what motivated her to get started on her post-accident health journey.

Being given a second chance at life will undoubtedly make you grateful for your health, but the after-effects of Amy’s injuries limited her physical abilities. Add to that two pregnancies, and it eventually took a toll on Amy’s body. 

“I was very unhappy with myself and what I saw in the mirror every day. I don’t know how severely I was overweight, but I know I was overweight. I would get winded and tired and wouldn’t want to keep up with my son, who is at lightning speed all of the time,” recalls Amy. 

Amy wanted to get in shape, but most workout programs required exercises she wasn’t able to do physically, so she focused on her diet but didn’t have success with any fad she tried. 

“I’ve tried every diet that there was. Nothing seemed to work,” says Amy. 

Then her husband stumbled upon V Shred and looked at some V Shred reviews online. 

Not only did our approach to dieting look different from anything she had tried in the past — the exercise program our free body type quiz suggested was best for her goals and body type was adaptable to her fitness level and could be done from home — without heavy weights or gym equipment! 

“There are so many exercises that I physically can not do. So just being able to pause and put on hold and do half in the morning and half in the evening so I could build up strength and could potentially do the workouts,” says Amy.

Of course, Amy was hesitant but says she thought, “what the heck” and signed up. 

Within days Amy noticed a difference and became a believer! 

“I lost 4.5 pounds. Just seeing that progress, I thought, wow, if I keep this up and keep doing this, I’m going to lose even more, and I have. It’s been such a great experience.”

Amy completed one round of Fat Loss Xtreme and, at the end of 90 days, lost a total of 17 pounds.

“It’s amazing how it takes little effort to actually see progress. I know I wouldn’t be as fit if I didn’t have V Shred because of the ability to make it my own. It has helped. It’s helped so much.” says Amy

But even more significant to Amy than the number on the scale was being able to workout and the knowledge she gained surrounding nutrition and creating a healthy lifestyle..

“I didn’t know how to do my calories. I would just eat whatever. I didn’t understand a calorie deficit to lose weight. That isn’t something anyone knows. Once I figured that out, that was huge,” says Amy. 

With every rep, every set, every breath, Amy is no doubt defying the odds! 

Your struggles and backstory may not be as extreme as Amy’s, but no matter why you’ve found yourself out of shape or staring in the mirror unhappy with your reflection, getting started and not giving up isn’t easy 

Amy says that while she had support from her husband, children, and our coaches and customers in our private Facebook community, at the end of the day, it was up to her to get up every morning and do her workouts and make healthy choices. 

 “Everything is up to you. If you want it hard enough and you work for it, you’re gonna get it.” 

So for anyone reading this, wanting to make a change but hesitant to sign up, the words of encouragement Amy has for you are the same she was given by Coach Jake — one of our team members active in our private client-only online support community. 

“I would use his words because they struck me to the core. This isn’t a 30, 60, 90-day plan. You won’t get there overnight. You have to work for it and want it. If you want lasting success, you have to do something different.” says Amy. 

For Amy, V Shred was her different, and it worked — and she says if you want it bad enough, she knows it will work for you too! 

“Just try it. You won’t be disappointed. You will not,”

Emily Shares Her Inspiring Transformation Story During a One-on-One Interview with V Shred & Sculpt Nation Co-Founder Vince Sant.

“I rocked it. I went from a size 8 to a size 4. So that’s pretty exciting.” – V Shred Client: 39-year-old Emily

One thing we love about our V Shred family of clients is how different everyone’s needs are and how unique each transformation story is.

That is exactly why we never use a cookie-cutter approach here at V Shred and encourage everyone to start their journey by taking our FREE body type quiz so that you can find an exercise and dieting style that will work best for your own unique genetics!!

Sometimes we have customers that need to lose 100+ pounds. Other times, we have those who want to gain weight, but we also have many clients like Emily who are “in the middle” and are only looking to lose a few pounds and tone up. 

No matter the end goal, one thing that’s consistent with all of our clients is how amazed people are that….

• Living a fit & healthy lifestyle doesn’t have to break the bank!
• Weight loss is possible without doing hours of boring cardio!!
• Spending hours in the gym every single day is NOT necessary!
• You can get results working out at home!!
• You don’t need to overly restrict and cut out all your favorite foods!!

That is the story of our client Emily!

After 3 months with V Shred, she surpassed her weight-loss goal without a restrictive meal plan, hours of cardio, or even a gym! 

She achieved results with a lot of dedication and a plan that focused on creating a healthy and maintainable lifestyle, not some crazy fad! 

Whether you are trying to gain 5 pounds or lose 50 — we know her story will inspire you!

Emily’s V Shred Transformation Story

Emily is a 39-year-old mom of two (ages 18 and 13) who loves to spend her free time with family, hiking, biking, and gardening!

Emily says she knew she could stand to lose a few pounds and tighten and tone her physique but never thought much about it until summer 2020 when a friend suggested they become “accountability partners.” 

“I was texting with a friend who lives in Montana that said, be my accountability buddy and let’s workout. I think I lost 3 pounds in 3 months because I wasn’t super committed to it,” remembers Emily. 

After not seeing real results with the program she and her friend were using, Emily set out to find something different. 

She had seen some V Shred advertisements and finally decided to click the link and check things out.
Emily says our exercise programs and dieting approach seemed totally different from anything she had tried in the past.

She liked that there was an option to do the workouts at home, so she signed up for Fat Loss Xtreme and started putting in the work! 

That was September 2020. 

Fast forward approximately 3 months later, and after one round using the Fat Loss Xtreme program and working one-on-one with a V Shred trainer to clean up her diet….

 Emily lost 11 pounds, numerous inches all over her body, and 4 sizes!

“I’ve never been under 120 since before high school, so that is kind of a big deal for me,” exclaims Emily. 

Emily says she knows that 11 pounds may not sound like much, but at only 5-foot-2, she says it made a HUGE difference on her petite frame! 

And the best part?! 

Emily chose the home version of Fat Loss Xtreme, so she was able to transform her body without an expensive gym membership … and in only minutes a day!! 

“ I was surprised it was just 18 minutes, and I was like, oh, I can do that! It is manageable, ya know. You build up to it. I like how the videos are laid out so you can modify or start more of a comfort you can handle and build up to that,“ says Emily. 

The only extra thing Emily did off of the Fat Loss Xtreme home plan was add in some short HIIT cardio using a treadmill that she found on Craigslist! 

She also incorporated two Sculpt Nation supplements that she says were key in helping give her energy during the day and quality sleep at night!

“BURN is fantastic. I feel on fire during the day. I am alert, awake, and have energy throughout the day. I work 9-hour shifts, get home, take a breather, then I’ll do my workout, and by then, around 5pm, I’m toast and tired. With the BURN and BURN PM, I feel like I can sustain myself longer,” says Emily. 

Emily says another key in her successful transformation was the support she received from her one-on-one V Shred coach, who created her custom meal-plan and the thousands of new friends she made in our private client Facebook community!

“It’s an all-in-one bundle. I felt like if I ever had a question about anything, it would be answered. The meal plan was great. It was tailored to my diet. I’m vegan, so it’s hard to find a lot of programs that don’t encourage you to eat chicken or beef. I’ve been eating super clean, and I like that and learning portion sizes or macros … I never saw a program that put them all together,” says Emily

Emily completed Fat Loss Xtreme and has now shifted gears and is doing TONED IN 90 DAYS.

“I thought my goal would be to hit 120, and then I’ll feel really good. But I’m actually at 116 now and hoping to build up muscle and gain more muscle weight. So I’d be happy with muscle weight gain. Just to be more toned,” she says 

While Emily’s end goal is to be more toned and defined, she says that isn’t her ultimate goal. 

“My main goal is to not die old and sick. If I start now, maybe I’m in a good position to do that. I want to be healthy enough to live a long healthy life,” says Emily. 

Which ties into the advice Emily says she would give anyone hesitant to get started! She says to think of what could happen if you don’t take that step and start taking care of yourself.

“It’s expensive to be sick. Hopefully, it’s a trade-off. Whatever little bit of money I spend now is worth it to me because I’m helping myself in the long run,” says Emily. 

Emily says that she is so confident that V Shred programs work that if a friend was on the fence — she would pay for it herself!! 

“I’d loan them money. It’s not that expensive. You want long-term success and to be healthy, then this is a program that will help you get there. It’s fun, totally doable, the FB community is overwhelmingly supportive. There is always someone there to help you,” says Emily. 

We can’t wait to check back in with Emily in a few more months to see where she is after spending some time doing Toned In 90 Days and putting on some more quality lean muscle!!

Keira Shares Her Amazing Transformation Story During a One-on-One Interview with V Shred & Sculpt Nation Co-Founder Vince Sant.

“ I don’t wanna end up like how my other family members are. I wanna be able to live a strong and healthy life.” – Keira – 24-year old V Shred client

24-year-old Keira wanted to be the one in her family to break generations of weight struggles and the health issues that often result. 

That was her motivation (her “why”), and after several years of working with V Shred, Keira is more than healthy. She is confident, muscular, and strong! 

In her 3 years with V Shred, Keira has lost 10 dress sizes and over 50 pounds!

Whether you are like Keira and come from a family where it seems “genetics” will always hold you back, are struggling to stick to your plan, or are hesitant to take that first step and get started — we know her story will motivate you to get up, get active, and realize your genetics don’t have to hold you back from achieving a healthy and fit body!  

KEIRA’S V SHRED WEIGHT LOSS JOURNEY

Keira is now a happy and healthy 24-year old that laughs that she can out squat most of the guys at her gym. 

But it hasn’t always been that way. 

Just a few years ago, a move to California caused Kiera to sink into a bad place and gain excess weight that she knew wasn’t healthy.

“I come from a family of tons of health issues. At 20 years old, I was starting to see those health issues. I decided it was time for me to break this vicious cycle that’s  running through my family and become that person that starts a healthier lifestyle,” says Keira. 

Keira tried cutting out carbs and going to exercise extremes — but only failed at any attempt to get the weight off.

Then she saw a Facebook ad for V Shred, took our free body-type quiz, and says that her outlook on weight loss instantly changed!!

“Being able to learn more about myself and what kind of goals I wanted to reach and how I would get there. It really helped me to learn all that,” says Kiera. 

After taking the quiz, Keira was advised that based on her goals and genetics, it would be best to start with our Toned in 90 Days program. 

Keira got started right away, and the results happened quickly!  “I dropped a total of 20 pounds after three months,” remembers Keira. 

These results were mainly from exercise alone. Keira says she didn’t have her eating under control yet, and her mindset still wasn’t in the best spot.

“I loved food, but then again, I was also really depressed ’cause I was living away from my family. So it took a couple years before I got really strict with it,” she says.

As important as working out is, it’s only part of losing weight and keeping it off. 

Keira realized this, and after leaving California and moving to Washington last year, she decided to get back on Toned in 90 Days.

Except this time, she WENT ALL IN with both exercise and proper nutrition. Keira says that is when the real shift happened!! 

“I watched some of your videos on your tips of what type of foods to eat, and so I started upping my fat intake. I started adding carbs back in ’cause, for a while, I just completely cut out carbs, and I realized that was a mistake. And so (laughs) after I gave the carbs back and, um, upping my fats, I dropped another 30 pounds.”

In her 3 years with V Shred, Keira dropped a total of 53 pounds, went from 40% body fat down to only 13.9%,  from a size 10 dress to a size 4, and gained tons of muscle, strength, and self-love! 

“My muscle increase has gone up to 45%, which was a lot better than what it was. I have abs for the first time in my life, and I’m actually rather muscular. I’ll be at the gym, I’m  squatting more than the guys next to me,” laughs Keira

Keira is now at her goal weight of 137 but isn’t slowing down!

She started Toned In 90 Days for a THIRD TIME and is focused on putting on even more lean calorie-burning muscle.

“I’ve always had a goal, but I always thought that it’d be impossible for me to reach. But the fact that I’m at a point now that I thought was impossible before, but now I’ve reached it, I just wanna keep going and building muscle and just being the strongest I’ve ever been,” says Keira.

Kiera says she believes V Shred  worked for her when other programs didn’t for many reasons. One of the biggest is the endless support 24/7 in our private client Facebook Groups. 

“The community with V Shred is so much more personal. You get to really know a lot of people. The V Shred for Women group, I love being a part of that because everyone’s just so supportive. You have this big support system that makes you feel good to post your results or ask questions if you have questions. You don’t normally see that with other programs,” exclaims Keira. 

Keira says she also got a little “boost” from adding in a few key Sculpt Nation Supplements.

She loves using our daytime and nighttime thermogenic BURN and BURN PM but learned that she was never going to look her best on the outside if she didn’t give her body the micronutrient diversity it needed to be healthy on the inside!

So she says she never goes a day without a serving of SCULPT NATION GREENS. 

“The greens really helped me with bloating ’cause I have a really bad issue with just being bloated all the time. So the GREENS just really helped with that, and I love ’em. I have ’em every single day,” says Keira 

She also never skips taking Sculpt Nation PRE before her workouts! 

“The PRE-WORKOUT has probably been my favorite PRE-WORKOUT that I’ve ever tried because it’s been the only one that doesn’t make me feel like I’m overstimulated. All the other ones I’ve tried made me feel really cracked out. This, I don’t feel that way, but it gives me a really strong focus, and it helps me stay energized throughout my whole entire workout.”

It’s not been easy, but Keira says she has no plans to ever stop and will continue to use V Shred programs and Sculpt Nation supplements to help maintain for years to come.
