Metabolic Precision

[Poetic Justice]

Has anyone here had any experience with Metabolic Precision? I have recently signed up to give it a shot and just keen to see if anyone had any knowledge of it.

Basically, it's another 'lifestyle program' that people are using for weightloss and other health and fitness benefits. It promotes itself as using weight training along with a precisely structured diet that tells you what to eat at the right times (post training etc.)

On the premise, it's probably what most experienced people do and I suppose this is just a way for people who have little self control or motivation to work self sufficiently.

How much does it cost?

Information is free nowadays. All you need to do is read up on what your body needs and how you will feed that to your body. When it comes to training again there are plenty of basic problems that you can structure to suit yourself also.

Well what I'm paying for is personal training sessions, in essence, which includes more support around the rest of your lifestyle and not just the exercise sessions themself.

In comparison, I recently enquired about a personal training studio local to me and a one on one session for 45 minutes was $85.

Under MP I'm paying $50 for a 45 minute session 3 times a week.

Expensive? In the eyes of some, but I'd consider myself the stereotypical person who never has much success when trying to approach these things alone, so personally I justify the services of a trainer.

Yeah, I know the program have their "food bible" seen their workout protocols. (My Mrs did it, not me)

The basics are there for health and weight loss. Its very "cultish" like most programs. It's all resistance training and HIIT in the gym.

Its a postworkout meals vs all other times- approach to nutrition (fruit and protein shake postworkout followed by a meal with higher carbs vs meals for all other times being standard high protein lower carb). Their recipes are fresh and basic, can't complain (other than their seasoning being the same for most dishes).

They're making a lot of money from something that is easily accessed for free as mentioned above. But if you're just paying an MP Personal Trainer to guide you at that cost it's not as bad as the whole course you'll soon be pitched and is at least a good start if you feel it's worthwhile in my humble opinion.

I'm not aware of any other on going costs that could be associated with it, so I'll be keen to hear about that, because based on the book that I've received about it and everything its "teaching me" I should be able to achieve the results I want without any further investment.

It seems like a way of overcomplicating a simple process and getting money out of people in doing so. But if you've got the cash, enjoy eating frequent meals and feel the need for PT sessions then there's no real reason not to do it. Personally I've dropped 34kg (110-76) over the past 7-8 months just from reading up on nutrition and applying that knowledge while lifting free weights at home and running. No set diet, program or gym membership needed

Understand what you are saying, it all came from just wanting a trainer to push me with weight training.. seemed like it was worth a shot, doesn't cost me that much more than the normal pt sessions anyhow.
