Matthew Boonzaaier - Health and Fitness Coach

Jokers of the day doing what they do best… fooling people

How’s my artwork?

Here’s a photo of me in 2009, 20 years old

With a full head of hair, rum and coke in the one hand and a red square in the other

The red square was most likely Jeff’s as I was never a fan of that stuff

Now although this photo does not shout “health and fitness”, this was actually during a phase in my life where I often needed to manage my weight

It was probably around here where I had to follow a planned diet to make weight for an upcoming fight - Yes I competed in kickboxing and MMA those years

I remember it to this day

Low carb diet with no eating after 6pm

Because back then it’s what someone told me is needed to drop weight

I didn’t know any better so that’s what I did

Did I drop weight?

Yes I did, but picked it up just as quick again, with some

Because it was f*cking terrible

Here I am, 20 year old, living life

Can’t go out and have a meal and drinks with friends because 6pm was cut off

Nobody wanted to go out before 6 because all the single ladies were still at home - pointless

The low carbs, made my training just as bad as my social life

My battery felt flat the whole time

I knew nothing about diet those years, so I sort of followed whatever someone recommended because who was I to argue

Looking back to it, as much as I wish I had the knowledge I have today I’m also thankful for those stupid choices

Because those very mistakes taught me lessons

Mistakes doing low carb diets
Mistakes of no eating after 6pm
Mistakes doing low fat diets
Mistakes doing keto

I did them all

I realized they are unnecessary and that there are better, more enjoyable and sustainable methods

Me making those mistakes means you don’t need to

Because I can now show you how

And that’s part of what I coach within my programs

How to lose fat, improve health and get fitter without doing stupid s**t to get there

DM me ‘Coach’ for more info

Or go along and try them out and waste years making unnecessary mistakes
