Brian Compton of Fact & Fitness on Metabolic Effect, Fantasy Football, & Cheerwine

In this interview I talk with Brian Compton of Fact and Fitness.  Brian is a young trainer who is an online Fitocracy Team Fitness coach as well through his own site.  Brian is a graduate of the program offered from Metabolic Effect in Winston-Salem, NC. 

The “eat less, exercise more” idea for fat loss isn’t just flawed, it’s broken.  Rapid weight loss efforts lead to 95% of dieters regaining the weight back within a year of dieting, and 66% weighing more than when they started the diet.  I prefer to take a more sustainable approach to fat loss with my online clients.  I don’t believe in providing meal plans for my clients, either.  Done-for-you diets never work.  Instead, I educate my clients and provide them with the tools they need to setup a long-term meal plan (lifestyle) they can follow effortlessly, long after our time concludes together.

In this episode we discuss:

• Metabolic Effect
• Brian's first positive experience with a client
• Who inspired Brian 
• His goals
• Where he got his Fantasy Football name
• His ideal Super Hero
• Where the name of his company came from
• A little discussion of our favorite things in NC
