MacKenzie
mobile.com My name is MacKenzie and I started a GoFundMe for the adoptive mother of a nonverbal autistic child. The mother had lost her job because she wasn't able to find adequate care for this autistic child, so she really needed some help with living expenses, paying some back bills. So I launched a GoFundMe to help support them during this crisis and we raised about $10,000 within just a couple of months. I think that the surprising thing was by telling a clear story and just like really being very clear about what we needed, we had some really generous donations from people who were really moved by the situation that this family was struggling with.

Justin Andrews
When it comes to fitness, the exercise part is actually the easy part. It's the diet that's the hardest part. Which is why Mind Pump is now offering coaching nutrition calls with a Mind Pump coach. We're gonna start doing that now. We're gonna talk all about it. Let's go.
Sal DeStefano
I would argue even more than just that. It's the behavioral psychology that comes along with the nutrition.
Justin Andrews
That's, that's why it's so hard, right?
Sal DeStefano
I mean, it's like there's, there's layers piece to it. There's layers to this. Totally with, which is it's not as simple as like, hey, here's the math equation or here, go follow this thing. Which is, I mean, admittedly, when I was a young trainer, when we first started, that's what we did. Like, you get a client. Yeah. Test them. I would go to my book, and I would break down their weight and then estimate their activity level and then, you know, their height, all those things. And it's just like, okay, and how many times we're working out and their goal. And it's like, okay, here's your macro breakdown. And then go from there and go, like, what foods do you like? You know, like, okay, then here's your meals, and this is what they look like. You know, remember the meal plans that
Justin Andrews
we just spit out? I do. I do. Remember how ridiculous they were?
Mind Pump Host/Announcer
Generic.
Sal DeStefano
They were ridiculous.
Justin Andrews
I mean, diet's really hard.
Sal DeStefano
One and a half saltine crackers, half
Justin Andrews
an orange, two almonds to make them. You can't have a full thing. Half a tablespoon of peanut butter.
Mind Pump Host/Announcer
Yeah.
Justin Andrews
You know, here's the thing. Like, there's a lot of confusion around exercise and fitness. There's more confusion around diet. There's so much confusion around what works, what doesn't work. Is it, you know, eating this much protein? Is it animal? Is it vegan? Is it, you know, keto? Is it paleo?
Mind Pump Host/Announcer
So much nuance to all this.
Justin Andrews
Like, what are the goods? What are the good? What's bad? Is gluten bad? Like, what's the deal? Like, there's so much confusion. And so guidance around nutrition is so important. And, you know, historically, we've never really offered, you know, coaching or guidance on nutrition. We just didn't. And recently, over the last year and a half, we've moved in this direction, and we now have. I don't know, how many coaches do we have?
Sal DeStefano
22.
Justin Andrews
We have 22 coaches that work for Mind Pump now, and they're handpicked, and they're really good, and they. They follow our philosophy and understanding. And a lot of what they do is they help people with nutrition. And what we wanted to do is have kind of some introductory, like, okay, you can buy a workout program from us, and they're great, but can we offer something to where you get on a call with a real coach and you spend some time with them, and you leave with a good starting point. Like a good starting point. Understanding and strategy that could take you for the next, you know, three months or 12 weeks.
Mind Pump Host/Announcer
Yeah, I mean, it requires a pretty long conversation to get all those details out and be able to actually construct a legit, focused plan for. For somebody. And I think that's why we haven't really just slapped on some generic advice on a lot of our Maps programs, because it's individualized, requires a conversation.
Sal DeStefano
Well, that's. I mean, the workout program can be very direct and straightforward for most people. I mean, even that has some modifications, but to individualize it a little bit, diet's always individual, but diet is very new. In fact, diet, you can have two people, same weight, same body fat percentage, same amount of movement throughout, throughout the week, same goals. And their diets look completely different. And the strategy at which you approach their diet.
Justin Andrews
That's right.
Sal DeStefano
Could look very different. And a lot of that has to do with the behavioral psychology where they're currently starting from.
Mind Pump Host/Announcer
History.
Sal DeStefano
Yeah. Body dysmorphia, relationship with food.
Justin Andrews
All this stuff plays, even just the food you like. Yeah. So different.
Mind Pump Host/Announcer
Well, that matters.
Justin Andrews
Yeah, of course it matters.
Sal DeStefano
Well, even that, like, that was. Man, I remember, I remember when I completely shifted from that of, from the trainer who would write meal plans to completely switching over to, no, I want you just to tell me what you eat first and then I'll make modifications to that versus me saying like, this is what's ideal. Because I realized how unsuccessful writing a meal plan was. Maybe it was, I thought it was successful at first because if you had somebody who had adhered to it, they could see results. If you had someone ridiculous enough to follow the half orange and two almond type of funny macro split things that would spit out from the computer, you know, and they were, they were crazy disciplined enough to actually do that stuff, they could get to maybe their results, but then they inevitably always. Because who's going to live that way forever? Like, nobody's going to do that forever, and who wants to live that way forever? And so quickly realized that I had to learn to build nutrition plans around somebody's current lifestyle and how they ate already and give them tools and, and, and layer those on. Not just like, hey, go follow this thing. It's like, here's the one thing we're going to do, then this thing, then that thing.
Justin Andrews
Totally. And when you start to figure out the nutrition part, everything really does fall into place because it plays such a big role in energy, strength, fat loss, of course, how you feel, digestion, all those different things. So it just makes a huge impact. But it's also very difficult. You know, we have coaching where, you know, a lot of our coaches and trainers work with people regularly. Like they'll, Somebody will work with them for a year or two years or six months or nine months. But we wanted to do is have something kind of introductory like, okay, fine, maybe you're not going to work with someone For a while. But can you meet with someone once, get on the phone, and they can construct a good starting point, point and scaffold a nice kind of plan for you that's individualized based off some of the stuff that we talked about that you can follow for the next 12 weeks and have an idea of where to go. And I mean, this is. This is really important for any goal. But like, reverse dieting is where things get. People can get really confused.
Mind Pump Host/Announcer
Yeah.
Justin Andrews
We talk about reverse dieting on the podcast.
Sal DeStefano
Oh, I would say that's. I know. I would say if I had to put a number on it, that's 80% of our clientele. Yeah, I'd say 80% of our clientele have listened to the podcast long enough, recognize that they are over trained, underfed. They've been in. They're in a plateau for a really long time.
Mind Pump Host/Announcer
How do we construct this?
Sal DeStefano
Yes. So they know that they need to move that direction, but how do they specifically do it from where they're currently. Where they're currently at is where they tend to get lost. Uncertain.
Justin Andrews
Yeah. Because the strategy with reverse dieting is let's build some muscle and boost your metabolism, set you up for some fat loss later on in an effective way. And the question is always like, well, how? Okay, fine, eat more. How much more? When do I continue to change that? What should I expect? I don't want to gain a bunch of body.
GoFundMe/T-Mobile Legal Voice
Do I do this?
Justin Andrews
Yeah, that's right. And so some structure, man. It makes a big, big difference. And so these are some of the things that the coach will go over with you when you meet with them. Obviously they're going to go over your goal. And this is very important, obviously, for me to have a good idea of what direction we're going to go. I need to know what your fitness goal is. Are we looking at fat loss? Are we looking at strength gain? Are we looking at metabolism? Boost athletic performance just for longevity. Yeah. Like, what's the. What's the main goal? And that's kind of the starting point. And then you want to start to individualize based off of, like, biggest obstacles, which is different from person to person.
Sal DeStefano
Right.
Justin Andrews
You know, you'll hear somebody say something like, oh, biggest obstacle for me is time. I don't have a lot of time. I'm very rushed. Or an obstacle might be, boy, when I get home from work, this is when things go kind of crazy. Or I travel all the time or, you know, these are. These are. They're all quite individual. And so what our coaches are trained to do is look at your goal and your biggest obstacles and then kind of start to figure out how to work around those things for you.
Sal DeStefano
Well, this is I think the part that I, what I meant by I think to you start to realize like, okay, this is someone's behaviors and patterns and the things that they're most challenged with. If I just lay them out some plan that they have to completely reconstruct their lifestyle around that it's almost inevitably going to fail. And so a good coach has the ability to go like, okay, what I'm hearing from this client is I'm never going to get them to not go out to eat at lunchtime or rarely ever are they ever going to prep their meal ready for that. So I need to know what are some options in our area and figure out like, okay, let's figure out what fits into that. And that saw helping them solve that so they have a go to option. Now of course, ideally we're always going to recommend whole foods and that you make your meals. But as a good coach, you have to recognize or be prepared for that client that that is going to be really difficult too. And it doesn't mean you have to completely fall off the wagon or you failed. There's ways to work around that. And so adjusting that, that would be an obstacle example.
Justin Andrews
That's right. There's also, let's look see what's already working with your diet. You know, maybe you do start out the day great with a good high protein breakfast. Later on is when things fall apart. Well, let's focus on why that's working and let's work around that. Or maybe you do a good job with avoiding certain foods. You just have challenges in other directions. So we're going to look at what's already working because that's also an important piece of information that we need to make this to make you leave with the plan that's going to work for you.
Sal DeStefano
I'll give you an example of something you've probably heard me communicate on the podcast many times. This is why this is a tip that I communicate so often is in my experience one of the things I've found is working for a lot of people or that people are pretty good at is preparing their dinner. Yeah, like great point. People tend to like if that's the one meal people. Yeah, like if, if I, if I could say there's some a consistent positive theme in all challenged clients. Right. Getting to the results. Most of them be like, well I do, I make dinner, you know, so we come home and we do that. And so a lot of, one of the, one of the tips that you hear me communicate a lot is, hey, teaching that client to make two dinners or double the size or four times the size. And then that now becomes the breakfast with a couple eggs cracked over. It's like this huge unlock for people that have never thought of it like that. And it's like you've already trained. This is already a behavior you're doing well. You, you, you love meat. You enjoy making a dinner. Like, you like the rice, sweet potatoes, white potato. Those are all, like, choices you love and you don't mind. We're already cooking and prepping, adding on
Mind Pump Host/Announcer
to what they're already consistent with.
Sal DeStefano
Yeah. Instead of being just 1 pound of ground bee or 3 pounds of ground beef, and instead of it 1, 2 cups of rice, now you're making 6 cups of rice. And then now you've got this, this meal that could be ready for you in the morning, time for you to eat. And you can crack two eggs over and be ready to go in three minutes, or that becomes lunch for the next day. And so that's an example of like, what I have commonly seen as something that seems to be working for a lot of people is they, they tend to have a easier time making a good choice for dinner. And so I've found ways to build that to help them be successful for breakfast.
Justin Andrews
That's a great point. That's actually often how I meal prep most. A lot of my meal prepping looks like a big dinner.
Mind Pump Host/Announcer
Yep.
Justin Andrews
And the leftovers become two or three meals that I have the next day. And it's typically how.
Sal DeStefano
That's what our. So this is what our people have asked this before. You know, I hear you talk about how you meal prep on Sundays. Right. So Sundays are my grill days, and I, I grill a lot of meat. That typically only lasts us, though, till about Wednesday. Yeah. Then Wednesday night, Katrina and I, or Katrina tends to make a huge meal again.
Justin Andrews
And that takes you for.
Sal DeStefano
That takes us for the next, you know, three to four days to get us there. And so that's a strategy that has worked really well for us to be successful prepared. Because obviously if I prepare on Sunday, by Friday, that food's not very good. And I'm not a big fan of eating something that's five days old or whatever like that, but it'll get me at least till Wednesday. And then Wednesday, if we cook again a meal and then we just. And that's like, that's why I Love ground beef because you can make it in bulk and it's really easy. That tends to be kind of a ground beef meal. Or we. A lot of times we'll do tacos and I'll do taco salad, and then I'll have that. Taco meat is what I had this morning. I don't know if you saw rice
Justin Andrews
or something like that.
Sal DeStefano
Yeah. If you saw what. So what I did this today, literally was last night. Katrina and Max and I had, had. They had tacos. I had a taco, big old taco salad. And then we had. We made bulk of ground turkey. And then, then. And then what I did was through beans that are already cooked and from a can, added it to that with some rice, sprinkle some cheese over it. And then this morning. So that was my lunch, and then this morning I cracked two eggs over it. It becomes like a breakfast. And so these are exam just some examples of not only how I've applied it to myself, but how a trainer.
Justin Andrews
When you.
Sal DeStefano
When you get on calls and you and you and you learn from the client, like, what are the things that they're doing really well and working, it's like, okay, I can work with this. I can totally. So how you're doing this and it's like, becomes huge unlocks for people, and it's not asking them to do something so out of the ordinary for them. And then why that's so important is the success rate of them being consistent.
Justin Andrews
Yeah. Which actually leads to this. This other part that our coaches do a really good job of doing is they help in this call, they help people put together what are called anchor meals. So these are like five or six kind of go to meals.
Sal DeStefano
Yes.
Justin Andrews
And why is this important? Because here's the thing. Meal plans. There is a positive to meal plans. Now, I don't like meal plans where I'm like, this is what you're eating for the next 12 weeks every single day. That doesn't work. But the value with meal plans oftentimes for people was, oh, this is what, 45 grams of protein or 30 grams of protein, 50 grams of carbs and 20 grams of fat looks like. If I'm working within these parameters, what does a meal look like for these parameters for me? Right. And so what they'll do on this call is they'll put together five or six anchor meals. And these are meals. These are your go to meals. These are meals that you can go to and know that it's balanced, it's going to fit within what my Goals are, and I'm going to be able to work with these meals through the next 12 weeks.
Mind Pump Host/Announcer
Especially for people like me that aren't so creative with eating food. I'm like, I just want a few staple meals that'll carry me. But I mean, then too, that gives you like a good consistent framework. So then you can kind of vary off of that down the road. But to have those and know exactly, like portioning wise, that's what works best for you to start off is great.
Sal DeStefano
I, I don't know who coined anchor meals first, but I love that term.
Mind Pump Host/Announcer
Yeah.
Sal DeStefano
Because this is, this is what it looks like in my house is every month we have our big Costco grocery shopping list. And then we have our, like kind of weekly where we get like vegetables and fruit.
Justin Andrews
Yeah.
Sal DeStefano
Small, small orders. And in the big Costco run is when Katrina and I normally talk to each other and go like, hey, what do you want? And we don't use the term anchor meals, but I love anchor. You know, what are the four or five major meals that we're gonna make? Because she's gonna go buy that in bulk because she goes to Costco.
Justin Andrews
Exactly.
Sal DeStefano
And so that sets us up for the entire month of like, okay, these are all the main rotations. Doesn't mean we don't have things outside of that. It's like, if I have a good solid four to five go to meals this month, and we like to rotate that so it's like this all this month we're eating these. Then the next month it might be a different four or five anchor meals. But that's the big Costco run that we do when we first start the month. Start the month off. And then everything is kind of built around that. Boy, does it just makes it easy, simplify.
Justin Andrews
And these are meals that you'll eat that you like.
Sal DeStefano
Yes.
Justin Andrews
Fit within what your fitness goals are. Like just some options. Like some ideas. Like these are my. I have my anchor meals and they typically look like this. There's ground beef and rice, or ground beef and baked potato. Or tri tip and rice or tri tip and sweet potato. I always have frozen broccoli. So we'll make a big batch of frozen broccoli that I can mix in with all of that. Or it's also land chops and gluten free pasta with pesto. That's like four options that every month I'm gonna have a decent amount of times. They're delicious. I know what the macros and calories generally look like. They work for what my Goals are they're healthy. The rest of my family eats them. And so what you're gonna leave with and this could be, this is very individualized, you guys. So it's not gonna be what I said, because that's mine. But what your coach is gonna help you do in this call is put together these anchor meals so that you have a plan. Not having a plan with nutrition is very difficult. It's very difficult to navigate without a plan otherwise. In that case, you're left to your own devices. You're left to eating out, and that's when things go haywire. But when you have these kind of anchor setups, these meals that are your go to, it makes a big difference with you being consistent with good eating.
Sal DeStefano
No.
Justin Andrews
Agree. And now there are four. This is what we've identified ourselves as trainers and that our coaches have identified as the 44 kind of areas of stress or areas of challenge when it comes to nutrition. The first one is travel. Travel makes things very difficult. So, okay, what do I do when I travel? Well, let's come up with some strategies and options for you when you travel. For example, you could double the size of protein, cut the source of carbohydrates down in half, or only choose one source of carbohydrates. In other words, I might order a meal that is chicken, rice, and it comes with bread. Well, I'm only going to have the rice. I'm going to cut out one of the carb sources and I'll double the chicken type of deal. Other strategies are. All right, well, let's look at the areas you travel to and let's find,
Mind Pump Host/Announcer
research it ahead of time.
Justin Andrews
Research and come up with good options for you that is going to fit within what your fitness goals are. Let's set you up for breakfast. This is a tough one. Sometimes travel. For me, at least when I travel, the most difficult meal tends to be breakfast. So are there shake options I can take with me in the morning, or are there options the hotel that I can set myself up with and it makes a big difference?
Sal DeStefano
Well, I think this was the motivation behind the doordash guide that we created not that long ago was so many of our coaches and trainers found that this was one of the challenges that clients are flying, traveling. We have a lot of clients that do business and have to fly a lot. And so how do we help them with a tool like doordash to give them good options? And so that was the real motivation originally was to serve our clients. And then we figured, oh, we may as well, give it away as a, a free guide to our audience. And so that's how that happened. That happened because so many of our coaches have, this is one of the number challenge and so, and that's an easy way. And they just needed something that they can lean onto. It's like, okay, I'm in this city now. Pull up doordash what's around me. Okay, look at the guide. Okay, here's something like that.
Justin Andrews
And again, this is individualized because this is a call you're going to make with your coach so they're going to work with you Specifically another one. This is probably the most common one is just short on time. What are some quick meals that I can put together and eat when I'm in a rush? Breakfast is a big one. What's a fast, quick, high protein or breakfast that works within my goals? What about lunchtime? Oftentimes I'm in meetings or oftentimes I'm, you know, I got 10 minutes to eat. What does that look like? What are good short on time options for me so I don't go off the rails when I'm trying to eat in a way that, you know, accomplishes my goals.
Sal DeStefano
This is helpful.
Justin Andrews
Yeah.
Mind Pump Host/Announcer
Because I mean that's usually where most people slip totally when they're like reaching and there's nothing there. You know, immediately all that's around you are like snack options and you see processed food.
Sal DeStefano
This is where it goes back to kind of what I was sharing with what how Katrina and I do it is, I mean she works a lot, I work a lot. We're busy. We have a kid. Right. So we're on, we are on the go and we move a lot. And so what has worked really well is that dedicating that Sunday afternoon or evening towards, you know, prepping for the first three days and then Wednesday get that way. It's like I'm only really carving off two days where I have to focus on that and then the rest of the time I can fill in the gaps and cooking.
Justin Andrews
Well, I saw this. I'll just, again, this is a personal one. So this is all individualized. Again, you're on a call with a coach for yourself. But just from in my example. So I have like a, I have a 16 year old daughter. She plays sports the morning. Trying to get her to spend extra time to make breakfast is like good luck. And if you have teenagers, you know what that's like. But she's also really, she's pretty focused on her fitness. She's pretty focused on being good or being able to perform at her sport. And so we've come up with a great option for her in the morning. What it looks like is those high protein yogurts. And so she'll have a couple of those, throw some berries in there. And she's like, this could be breakfast. I'm like, yeah, you got 35 grams of protein with some berries. You've just started your day off with a good breakfast rather than skipping breakfast or getting a pastry or something like that. So another one is stress eating. This is a big one. Like, what about strategies around stress eating? How do I identify when I'm in that place, the types of foods I want to reach for? Can I avoid eating with stress when I'm stressed or what are better options? You know, when I'm stressed out, I tend to like to eat sweets. Are there good options that I can put together that fit within my fitness goals, that'll kind of satisfy what I'm looking for? And again, the coach is going to individualize this around the things that you're challenged with.
Sal DeStefano
Some of that too is just a good coaching on the call too that you'll get from them is, is if I, if a client expresses that they get poor sleep and all that, sometimes just communicating them, the awareness around that, like, and we've talked about this on the podcast before, is like, hey, be prepared for the day that, you know you get poor sleep, the cravings are going to be harder than before. And a lot of times me just communicating to my client and letting them know that that is something to be aware of helps them with that. It's like when you know it's coming, like, oh, man, I got porcelain today. Today is going to be that day. Or that thing that I have a hard time saying kicks in. And so having stuff prepared or even again, just being aware of it and know it's like, okay, I can, I'm not going to do it today because I know that I, I want it so bad and tomorrow that'll pass and it won't be that bad. That awareness and that coaching from somebody who hears that from, from a client who expresses that is huge.
Justin Andrews
That's right. And then the last one, one of the more common ones again is, what if I miss a meal? Okay, I'm supposed to be reverse dieting. I'm supposed to eat 2,200 calories. I just miss lunch. What do I do now? Do I just go eat a huge meal? Do I plan it out later? Do I make up for it tomorrow? Do I just chalk it up? Like, what does this look like for me? And so again, strategies around these challenges which are individualized, which again, the coach will be helping you with on this call. And here's what you're gonna leave with with this call. So it's a 45 minute call. It's with a real coach. It's not AI, it's a real mind pump coach that we again, we hand picked. And after you leave that call, here's what you're left with. You have a calorie and macro structure with individualized advice for the next 90 days. That's what you're gonna leave with. You're gonna leave with a 90 day plan of how can I do this? Reverse diet, cut bulk athletic performance, longevity, whatever your goal is, you're gonna leave with a 90 day plan on how you can eat to help you accomplish your goals. Now here's what we did for this is we made these calls 50% off. So the normal price, if you want to meet with a coach for 45 minutes to get all this, it's $99. But if you go to mindpumpnutrition.com use the code APRIL50, it's 50% off. So things like $48.50 is what it'll cost you for this call with a mindpub coach. And again, you leave with the next 90 days planned out for you.
