Summary: ------------------------------------<br> ♦ Breaking Vegan: Client Edition ♦<br> ------------------------------------<br> Straight from the Inbox, Scott shares emails from clients around the world, received during only a two-day period, raving about their own "breaking vegan" experiences and success stories.<br> <br> ♦ Even Better for Us Than We Thought ♦<br> <br> • It can be tricky to switch to a healthier diet without unintended consequences, underscoring the value of coaching.<br> <br> • “Food is very personal. People have memories tied to food,”…”heavily restrictive diets can lead to disordered eating that can lead to eating disorders.”1<br> <br> • Scott made his decision to “break vegan” only after considering the mountains of research suggesting it’s the healthiest diet strategy.<br> <br> • When Scott uses the term “vegan”, he refers to whole food-plant based. Not processed foods [that don’t use animal products].<br> <br> • Clients report being able to eat more on a vegan version of the Cycle Diet. They say they’re feeling better and stronger and leaning out.<br> <br> • The amount of food that can be consumed surprises people who don’t understand how the Cycle Diet works, particularly the plant-based version. What appears like bulking is what revs metabolism and maintains leanness.<br> <br> • Scott’s vegan version of the Cycle Diet prevents deprivation.<br> <br> • Not all Scott’s clients are vegan. Some of them aren’t ready for a vegan diet because they struggle maintaining an omnivorous diet.<br> <br> • None of the clients count calories or keep track of macros. They report the diet is easy to follow.<br> <br> • Highlights from client emails:<br> <br> “I feel leaner.”<br> <br> “…now I don't have the cravings to eat anything and everything.”<br> <br> “I never binge anymore!! I could follow this easily forever.”<br> <br> “I tell everyone what I am doing!! I see so many people who have rebounded badly from deprivation diets.”<br> <br> “…my muscles and body just feel “better” since I started this vegan thing.”<br> <br> “I just had my 4th meal today and I think I will have some oatmeal before bed as my system is in overdrive again.”<br> <br> “…it’s so easy to eat very very healthy food.”<br> <br> “…the fat seems to have dropped off me this last two weeks.”<br> <br> “Feeling amazing - it keeps getting better!”<br> <br> “Really starting to see and feel fat loss, especially around my waist.”<br> <br> “The amazing thing is it’s so easy and simple .... If you are too hungry or starving just up portions.”<br> <br> • Scott’s personal results combined with those of his clients are giving him even more reasons to be passionate about the completely plant-based approach to eating.<br> <br> [Reference]<br> 1.
