Life Before KickStart
How was your body before Trevor Kashey Nutrition?
Before TKN my body was always in-between NOWHERE. I was not 100% sure what was good for my body and what was bad. At best I was guessing and getting frustrated hundred times over. What that means is that I was eating for pleasure or for physique enhancement. I could never accomplish eating for nourishment while attaining a decent look. I lose some body fat and then gain more than I lost. Basically it was a continuous chaotic yo-yoing and self-sabotaging cycle.
How did that (state of being) make you feel?
It was not a good place to be mentally and physically. I was constantly frustrated and angry at being not good enough or a complete failure. I was always searching for the perfect diet or program.
Was there anything you were unable to do that you wish you could have done?
To eat food that I liked and at the same time not feel low on energy and bloated. To get really lean without my body breaking down and joints aching like an 80year old.
During that time, how did your current state of being affect those around you?
During that time I used to pretend that I was having a good time but actually there was always a regret after every dinner out with friends or family. I would eat food that I liked or gave me the highest amount of pleasure and after that I would experience the highest amount of regret, shame and resentment toward the people around me. No matter how much I tried it was a very negative and toxic place. People felt the projection and would be offended.
The Moment Everything Changed
How did you hear about Trevor Kashey Nutrition?
I’ve been following Dr-K from the RD times and I came across something they used to do which was BAGEL Sundays. Actually I took inspiration from that and opened my own place. Which I called KinetiX Family. So he has been an inspiration from a long time.
What were your doubts and fears before starting the program?
My doubts were that I’ve been in this field and I am a certified nutritionist from one of the best nutrition programs in the world and I’ve worked with some of the best Coaches and read a lot of books on nutrition and training. What will I get from it and I feared that it might be too BASIC or too NOVICE for me. I’ve never been so wrong in my entire life. I was actually surprised and still am at the smartness and genius of a structured program that it is.
What made you say YES anyway?
I wanted to do something for myself. I always did things to help others. But this time I needed help and I got more than I signed up for. My expectations were completely blown away.
Life After KickStart
Where is your body/mind now?
My body and mind are in perfect alignment, in symmetrical conflict, in structured chaos. I am at the lowest body fat% in 7years and that too just after 10weeks. My body feels like I am just getting a hang of this and starting to enjoy the whole process. It feels like the beginning and I’ve already achieved the body that I wanted to achieve. I have such a good base that I am comfortable in going further which was never imaginable before TKN.
How does that make you feel?
Where my mind/body is now make me feel accomplished. It makes me feel GOOD. I am for once not dreading the future actually I am looking forward to it because I can’t wait to see and explore my full potential for the first time in my life. I am not counting the days I am making the days count and its like being on cloud nine.
What are you able to do now that you were not able to do before (mentally, emotionally, or physically)?
What I am able to do now that I was not able to do before was being in a content state, in a state where I am no longer guessing and leaving decisions to chance. I am mentally, emotionally and physically in the driving seat. I am more aware than ever. I was never able to control my circumstances and my reactions but now I can change my circumstances with my enhanced reactions. With my rational decisions rather than emotional.
The Ripple Effect
What positive impact did that have on others around you that you might not have expected?
The positive impact that I had on other that surprised me was that they started appreciating what I was doing because I was doing all the right things that they wanted to learn from me. I was delegating and changing in a positive way and it had a positive impact on everyone around me. They were more supportive and encouraging because I was very sure about my purpose and that respect I got was because of the decisiveness. No one respects indecisiveness.
Dawood’s Words to You
What would you tell someone who is reading this right now and is unsure about taking the next step?
What I would tell someone who is reading this right now and is unsure about taking the next step is that this is one of the best decisions you will ever make for yourself. This will become the base of everything you do for the rest of your life. This is NOT just about nutrition this goes way beyond that. It’s a way to live a good life. You will learn so much about yourself, how to deal with yourself and the people around you. You’ll learn how to eat and how to move, more importantly how to eat and how to move for your body specifically. How to get to eat the food you like and still get results. How to exercise less and still get results. I can’t believe TKN is offering this in such a low price. It’s worth way more for the support that they are offering.
