Diet Options
If you’re more interested in general health and fat loss, we suggest taking the “Real Food / Fat Loss” option. We’ll provide all of the details for this path at our nutrition seminars on 1/9 & 1/10.

If you’re more interested in performance or weighing/measuring, we’ve partnered with Renaissance Periodization (RP) for this option. You’ll need to purchase an auto-template from them if you choose this path. Use the code “case20” to get 20% off of your plan. We’ve been working with RP for a couple years now and have seen great results from everyone who has stuck with the program.
