Today we share with you the transformation and testimonial of another one of our members, João Marques. João went through this cutting phase for 12 weeks using a flexible diet, without any long cardio sessions, without fasted cardio and only a minor caloric deficit.

When he came to us, he thought he would only achieve his goals through a series of food restrictions and long cardio sessions. Basically, he thought the law of thermodynamics didn’t apply to him.

My name is João Marques, I am 20 years old and I discovered Team Transformerz through their website. I decided to contact them after I had had a bad experience with coaching and too much time wasted fighting against myself. I was little suspicious beforehand, but I was treated very well and soon all of the concept of flexible dieting was explained to me.

When I got in Team Transformerz I was looking for more than a coach. I wanted a teacher, who more before selling me his tuna, would teach me how to fish. Even though I study sports and have participated in many different types of sports, I took everything very literally and let out many shots in the dark. I supported myself on supposedly “clean” foods and on the concepts of “bulking” and “cutting”. I stayed more or less where I started because eventually, I cheated on my diet. I would never judge those who follow this “clean eating” process because it really is a way to do it, but for me, it just doesn’t work. Not because I minded eating clean or eating out of Tupperwares- because I still do it- but simply because I didn’t understand why I had to eat the same thing day and day out. The answer to that question was given to me very readily and with time this becomes mechanical. I can tell you that every day I prepare my menu for the next day. That doesn’t mean I am going to eat “garbage”, specially because I defend both concepts and ally clean eating to being flexible, which makes food not be a problem for me and It allows me to have a healthy relationship with food. This allows me to follow a sustainable diet for an extended period of time, that is balanced in terms of macro and micro nutrients, without seriously affecting my sanity (I say seriously because there are people who find it uncomfortable to weigh each gram of food, but to each his own).

My coach (Tiago Faria), is who I must thank a great deal. Since the first contact he has always been impeccable to me, put up with many of my doubts, mental breakdowns and even in times where I might have been unfair he maintained himself focused where it was needed.

Workouts in Team Transformerz aren’t experiments and aren’t the same for all the clients. They are custom and correctly adapted to the phase where us (clients) are. I can say that I lost between 12 and 13kg and I did no fasted cardio (thank God because I hate boring cardio and I am a zombie in the morning) nor did I ever have extremely restricted calorie goals. There was an adequate balance between the calories I consumed vs. the calories I burned and that allowed for my fat loss to be very great. Now, there is no doubt that you need persistence, will power and patience, because you must be aware that changes don’t happen in 2 weeks and also that we aren0t all the same. Each individual takes his own time to make progress, the important thing is not to give up because we all can achieve the goals we want, all we need is to believe in that and push through.
