P.D. Mangan 1-on-1 CoachingReviews of pdmangancoaching.com

The 1-on-1 coaching I received from PD Mangan was life changing. When I started, I was a 57 year old, perennially overweight, mom of four. His program was straightforward, well described and scientifically based. It also did not involve dieting, starvation or deprivation. By specifically teaching me what foods to eat and what foods to avoid (while integrating my own tastes and preferences), Mr. Mangan made this lifelong-eating-plan relatively simple to adopt. No counting calories, no points, just a clear, common sense path forward. While there are foods that I had to mostly eliminate from my diet, the resulting steady weight loss and decrease in overall body-size made it easier to stay focused and loyal to the plan. Two years later, I remain a steady 45 pounds lighter than when I started and I gleefully had to buy all new clothes. It's a great feeling. Family and friends can't help but notice your change in both body size and energy levels when you adopt this new lifestyle, and they inevitably start adopting some (or all) of the ideas themselves, which only helps to reinforce the program in your life. I highly recommend the program and remain quite grateful to Mr. Mangan for offering this coaching service.

I had a terrific experience with PD and would recommend him to anyone who is serious about (1) losing a lot of fat in a three month period and (2) changing one's eating and exercising habits on a permanent basis. The key point in the sentence above is the word "serious." In our first meeting PD told me that the people who made the most progress under his plan were the ones who followed his directions very carefully, even to the point of brown-bagging filling, natural, whole-food lunches to the office. After deciding I was going to be someone who took the plan seriously, I read all of PDs notes, watched all of his videos, followed every step in his plan, and sure enough, I lost about 17 pounds (almost entirely fat) in three months, and have kept it off since then thanks to my new set of habits. What surprised me most in working with PD is that I never felt hungry or deprived. I thought there was no way to lose fat without needing a tremendous amount of will power to get through the feelings of hunger and deprivation. As it turns out, that's completely wrong. One of the first things PD told me was that it's impossible for anyone to defeat feelings of hunger over a long period of time, so what we'd do instead is use knowledge and discipline to eat large, very filling, satiating quantities of the right foods at the right times so as to feel full and energetic and happy while also burning off fat with astonishing ease. (Oh, and while also getting stronger as well.) I wouldn't go so far as to say that PD's program is only for curious, brainy people. Anyone can follow his approach, which is simple enough to be written down on a single sheet of paper. That said, if you happen to be a curious, brainy person who really wants to understand things -- why certain foods make you fat, why certain approaches to exercise make you strong, etc. -- PD's program is especially helpful. Is the program inexpensive? Nope. Is it a great value if you take it seriously? In my view, absolutely. It costs a bit more, but has been more than worth it to me.

Simple easy to follow instructions on how to lose weight and get in shape. No guesswork or special equipment needed. PD helped me lose 40 lbs in 12 weeks before my 40th birthday. If you follow PD's plan, you WILL lose weight and get in shape in 12 weeks!

I very much enjoyed working with PD. He is straightforward and consistent. His goal is "to teach you how to fish" - work out on your own and modify your diet accordingly. I also preferred the set up of having him as a trainer on line and not in person. I have grown much stronger and learned quite a bit from PD. Highly recommend.

This program is a no-brainer for anyone who wants to build muscle and/or lose weight. Personally I was a little underweight, lacking muscle and carrying a gut. PD will show you that you do not have to spend hours and hours in the gym to look in great shape. One year later I am still following the program. I feel great, both physically and mentally. Family and friends often comment on how well I am looking. The key to this program is that is very managable and sustainable. PD was very prompt and helpful with any questions I had. The food plans are excellent - easy to prepare, varied, tasty and filling. I highly recommend this program to anyone that wants to look their very best.
