I have always been an avid gym goer, but was not seeing the results I would have liked. I knew this was because I had not taken the time to properly focus on nutrition. I worked with Ted to learn to track calories and set macro targets. I followed Ted's coaching plan and read all of the materials provided. I was able to hit my weight loss target while maintaining good body composition. Now, thanks to Ted, I have a better understanding of nutrition and a tool kit to use to maintain going forward. My workouts are going great and I am seeing the results.

I wanted to send my updated after photo. I'm eating more and leaner and stronger than ever. At the end of our 12 weeks I lost 13 pounds, and reduced my body fat percentage by 4.2%. I'm proud to say that I've kept tracking macros for the past year and now look at me! 

I had tried everything and was clueless about everything. I wanted to learn about nutrition the right way and actually do it and stop procrastinating. Look at me now! Thanks, Ted!

After less than 4 weeks, I can already see my abs without the scale going down!

I reached out to Coach Ted after starting my own process, so I had a good sense of what to do. I needed better accountability and guidance, and that's what I got. I dropped about 20 pounds of fat and gained about 10 pounds of muscle, slow and steady, over the coaching period. Very happy with the help and the process.

At 56 years old, things are different than they were at 35 or 45. Weight loss and fitness are more challenging and require more work, much more. It was a home video that really woke me up. It was like someone had inflated me, and I was disgusted by what I saw. I tried the solitary method of trying to get myself into the gym, eating better. It worked maybe 10 percent of the time and the weight was increasing along with some depression at the lack of change. I happened to be with some friends talking about the subject and Coach Ted came up. My friend is in great shape, runs routine triathlons and marathons. I thought, why would you possibly need a health coach? Diet, accountability, positivity, and motivation were the reasons. So I signed up. And I am finally on the path I want and need. Weight is coming off (1/2 way to my goal), I'm eating better and am in better shape than I have been in years. No regrets.

My main goal was to lose 15 lbs and jumpstart my exercise routine. I have reached my goal! Ted's response time is almost immediate. Whenever I needed an extra push, he would text me every day. The best thing about my experience is learning about macros and the accountability that comes with the program.

Hi Ted,I would like to start by saying I have seen great results using your nutrition plan and your advice. Before I was losing weight but also muscle mass, and now I am really starting to see some definition.

My goal is to get my body fat down to 20% and so far Ted's program has helped me to see food differently through his MACRO program. I now realize that by tracking my daily food intake and understanding the food I eat will help me be successful in the long run. Overall, it helps me to be more intentional about what I eat. Also, Ted's check-ins keep me accountable and focused.

Healthier Balanced Eating and weight loss were my goal. Ted is knowlegeable and informative, he offers gentle and kind support and direction. I particularly enjoyed the 1:1 check ins as it was a great opportunity to experience his services in person. He's a great guy!

After ordering countless diet books and trying more diets than I can keep track of, I realized that my endless cycles of yo-yo dieting would never end unless I made a change I could sustain. I was always searching for a diet that promised fast weight loss, not sustainable weight loss. I had lost (and re-gained) weight several times in my life and it was always because the plans that I was following were too restrictive and completely unsustainable. One afternoon I came across Coach Ted’s Macro Solution and was skeptical by the lack of gimmicks in his plan. It seemed a little too reasonable compared to all of the diets I had tried in the past. I decided to take a chance in almost 12 weeks now and am down 17 pounds! I was so surprised with how much I was allowed to eat and that no food are off limits. 

I’ve lost 50 pounds with the help of Coach Ted and the Macro Solution. I even kept losing weight despite an injury where I couldn’t exercise regularly.

Coach Ted was excellent! I went into coaching feeling I'd never be able to loose my extra body fat, and to my surprise Coach Ted was able to help me loose nearly 15 pounds in 90 days. I now feel equipped and educated to continue my journey for the life ahead. Thank you Coach!

Hi Coach Ted, Just to let you know the numbers are working great so far. I have more energy than before (ate too little) while still losing some fat. Combined with strength training and running these numbers look perfect to me.

I didn’t have 40+ pounds to lose, or huge weight shifts, or 5 sizes dropped, but I can tell you that I learned how to better control my food intake, managed what I ate much more precisely and learned to not be afraid of food or carbs. I also learned that my food adversity towards carbs caused my own body to work against me, and it is taking me sometime to work through that, in order to become a better me, a me that understands better why my body does what it does.. Having coach Ted assist me and being there with explanations and tweaking things for me as we went through the program definitely helped me.

I had the pleasure of working with Coach Ted through Healthy Eater, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. From day one, his commitment to helping me succeed was clear. He took the time to understand my goals, offered clear and actionable advice, and was always available to answer any questions I had, often responding far more quickly than expected. His support made a huge difference in keeping me motivated and on track. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about your success and is invested in your journey, Coach Ted is the real deal.

Hi Coach Ted, I just wanted to let you know how your custom plan is working for me. In one word, GREAT! The gram ranges and percentage ranges are just what I needed to make this work, as I now see the flexibility you were referring to, and when I plan meals and snacks within those ranges, the final tally for the day is right there. Your recommended ranges also appear to be spot on, as I feel great, strong for my workouts, satisfied and feeling like I'm eating plenty. Weight is coming down about one half to one pound a week, which is fine with me. Thanks so much! Joni

Working with coach Ted was by far the best decision I have ever made. I have struggled for many years working out endlessly and trying so many different meal plans and diets but nothing ever gave me the results I was looking for. I have been working with Ted for about 12 weeks and I have lost about 25 pounds. He really has a plan that sets you up for success and I’ll tell you seeing the physical results week after week is so motivating. Aside from the physical aspect which is awesome, I cannot believe how much energy I have now and I just feel my confidence building from week to week. Work with Ted, follow the plan and I promise you will not regret it!

I believed that I needed to eat only 1,200 calories and 120 minutes of cardio per day in order to lose weight. Coach Ted gave me my macros and my caloric intake was exceptionally higher. Now, I have lost 35 lbs, have gained tons of muscle and have a healthy relationship with food.

I just want to thank you for the wonderful program and for the guidance your program gave me! The balance of lifting weights and macro counting has definitely improved my physique and kept my sanity.

Dear Coach Ted,  I apologize for not responding sooner but I stayed consistent with macros you calculated for me and using myffitnesspal. Overall, I have lost about 30 pounds and I'm making some good progress in the gym. Thank you for information it has helped so much. Sincerely, Erick H

I received custom macros and coaching video from you a few months ago. I wanted to write a follow-up email based on my latest InBody scan. I began my recomp, starting with your calculator, about 9 months ago. The nutrition changes, along with my old workout routine, have led to a 8 percent reduction in my body fat since January. In the last 90 days, I have gained about 1 pound of lean mass. I don't have numbers to figure my lean mass gains since January, unfortunately. I have stayed slightly below maintenance while keeping tight control of my protein intake, so it's not entirely unexpected that body fat would be going down quickly while muscle gain would be much slower. I'm grateful for your site and the video you sent me. It really set me on the road I'm on now. For once in my adult life I'm something besides a casual lifter. It has changed not only what I considered feasible, but also what my friends and family consider as well. That's that. Again, thanks for everything.

Ted, The nutrition plan you gave me is working like a charm. I'm continuing to see weight loss and my mindset is focused on the journey. We went on vacation and when I returned to my surprise, I maintained my weight! Thank you so much for your recommendations. This way of eating has been so rewarding for me. 😁 Thanks, Cindy

As I am here starting to re-read your book, I felt the need to say thank you. I purchased your book about 2 months ago and it has changed my life. I have always been athletic with a very good degree of muscle but I was never really happy about my physique. Read your book and decided to trust it. I was under this believe that carbs are my enemies and will make me fat. After eating 130g+ of carbs daily, I am down 8 pounds. Thank you!

After gaining weight during the pandemic, I started working with Ted to try to reset my fitness and nutrition goals. After a year of failing to lose weight on my own, after I started working with Ted, the weight started coming off consistently with just a few tweaks to my eating, workout habits, and macro tracking. I have been able to lose 40 pounds this year! The best part is that I’ve been able to build up a strong intuition of how weight loss works, and how to achieve my goals without feeling hungry, or depriving myself of foods I like.

Coach Ted has been a game changer for me. It was not until I started with Ted did I realize that I was not eating enough. I also was not getting the right proportions of nutrients. Now my energy is much better and so is my sleep. I know my body will continue in getting healthier as I now know what to do continue great nutrition in any situation, Thanks, Ted!

The Macro Solution helped me a lot to learn about food and how I can make easy meals. Ted was very supportive and motivated me for the whole time. I lost 10 pounds and 2 inches from my waist.

I found Ted when I was 6 months postpartum and stuck at a weight despite working out. Ted responded to me quickly and even took time out of his own vacation to help me! Not only do I feel like I'm not really dieting, but I'm often shocked at how large my portions are! Also, I almost immediately got below the weight I was stuck at and am well on my way to losing all the baby weight! So grateful I found him!!

At first I thought I was just part of an automated system but I appreciated that Coach Ted was truly an active participant like clockwork, I know the accountability is helpful because I want to hide from him when I have a bad day or couple of days. It really is easy to follow when you get the hang of it and develop tools for helping fill the "gaps"

I just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU to Ted for offering a great service. I had started counting my macros before reaching out to Ted. I was fumbling around as such and hadn't fully committed to the macro method. I have found that Teds coaching helped me stay on track and commit to the program properly. My results have been steady. I can see physical changes in my body and how my clothing fits better. Other people have also noticed change in my physical appearance. My energy levels have increased and I feel great. This method of fuelling my body is probably the most easiest and less stressful method. Believe me when I say I've tried many methods in the past which work for some people, just not me. It's also changed my mindset which Ted also helped with. Being patient and learning to embrace the journey. I am still learning the methodology today but its a positive habit to log my food, and is now effortless really. Thank you again Ted for your support and guidance.

Ted helped me lose body fat while still eating the foods I love. Prior to my coaching I was afraid to eat several foods and felt very restricted yet I still couldn’t get rid of the body fat I wanted to lose. Now I feel like I am eating normal while still not putting on fat. I actually enjoy eating again.

I had a great experience for the last 3 months. I enjoyed learning more about the importance of the right foods to eat/ quantities. At the end I got to my goal weight but more importantly I feel great.

I have been holding onto this weight for years. Then Covid-19 called upon us, and I began working remotely from home. The pounds continued to creep up from the long hours of continuous sitting and constantly munching all day long. I've lost 60+ pounds, stopped taking insulin, and can sit with my legs crossed again. Words can’t express the gratitude I feel for Coach Ted with his knowledge and expertise in guiding me on this journey.

I lost 15 pounds and gained 10 lbs of lean muscle definition and ate more than I ever thought I could. Needless to say, I'm happy.

I was already familiar with tracking macros, but having a coach really helped my accountability; thus, helping me reach my goals quicker.

am a 64 year old female…five feet 2 inches…starting weight 148.5 lbs. July 17, 2023 I started the Keto diet. I lost 10 pounds in the first month. Although there was successful weight loss, this diet was just not sustainable for me. Only being allowed 13 carbs, 78 protein and a whopping 81 grams of fat just wasn’t going to work for me. My daughter being concerned for me, came across the Macro solution and passed it on to me. I was very excited when I saw this program. Not only was I allowed to eat more carbs (101 grams), protein (97 grams)and a loss less fat (37 grams), this diet just made so much more sense. I was able to eat whatever I wanted as long as I stayed within my TDEE (calories) and my allotted macros. No more Keto flu and leg cramps. Long story short, I was able to lose 11 more pounds and that was without exercise! I was pretty proud of this but soon realized I had lost a lot of muscle mass in the process. Although I stayed within my calorie allotment I often didn’t eat my protein requirement but wasn’t too worried-I was losing weight slow and steady. I decided to go on Ted’s coaching program because I needed to gain back muscle mass and still lose ten more pounds. This wasn’t easy because as I was gaining muscle, I wasn’t able to lose weight very easily. At the end of my 12 week coaching program I only lost 4 1/2 lbs because I gained muscle since Ted helped me establish a healthy exercise program that I continue with to this day. My advice to everyone would be this…do the coaching program with Ted and make sure you exercise as well well as macro counting. You need to do both for healthy weight loss. Thanks Ted, for this program and your guidance. At a family gathering this past weekend, my fifteen year old nephew told his mother (my sister)that I looked ten years younger and after sharing this with me asked for the name of the program I was on. “Slow and steady does win the race!” My end weight was 125.5 lbs. I am happy with the progress I made and I feel great inside and out. Thanks again, Ted!

Thanks for all the coaching. I am currently at 15lbs lost! So I reached one of my goals. You definitely helped keep me more accountable and the reading material was very helpful.

I have been holding onto this weight for years. Then Covid-19 called upon us, and I began working remotely from home.

My goal is to get my body fat down to 20% and so far Ted's program has helped me to see food differently through his MACRO SOLUTION program. I now realize that by tracking my daily food intake and understanding the food I eat will help me be successful in the long run. Overall, it helps me to be more intentional about what I eat. 

I had tried everything and was clueless about everything. I wanted to learn about nutrition the right way and actually do it and stop procrastinating. Look at me now! Thanks, Coach Ted!

I wanted to lose weight and get in shape at the same time. I had put on around 30 pounds, switching from an active to a sedentary job. I had tried losing weight on my own by eating less and exercising, but I'd run out of energy by the time I got to the exercise part of my goal. Ted set me up with a plan that was simple to follow and gave me enough energy to build muscle and lose weight. I have lost approximately 20 pounds, while gaining at least 5 pounds of muscle in the process and I feel much better.

As a busy health care professional, I wanted to improve my nutrition and fitness. Coach Ted's 12-week Macro Solution 1-on-1 Nutrition Coaching program was great. Thanks to his guidance, I hit my lowest weight, body fat percentage, and gained more energy! Working with Coach Ted was fantastic. His support and resources helped me track and adjust my macros effortlessly, while enjoying a variety of foods. Feeling better and stronger is the best reward!

My goal is to get rid of belly fat and increase muscle tone. So far I have reduced belly fat and increased muscle definition a bit. Coach Ted, you have been an amazing coach, guiding me through the process and answering very question in a timely manner. Very accessible as well. I really like the progress feedback via video, it definitely makes it more personal. Thank you.

After gaining weight and not working out during the pandemic as busy ER doc, I'm feeling like my old self again but leaner and now more muscle than before.

I had a great experience working with Ted for the last 3 months. I enjoyed learning more about the importance of the right foods to eat/ quantities. At the end I got to my goal weight but more importantly I feel great.

I just want to thank you for all your help so far. I had not been able to break the 150lb mark in over 10yrs. I cannot believe how well my clothes are fitting and I have so much more confidence in myself and my ability to keep this a lifetime effort.

Ted is the DREAM HEALTH COACH. I am definitely not the dream client though; my work/life balance is chaotic. I did my best to at tracking Macros & recording measurements. Through his coaching platform, his commitment to me, my goals and diligent reminders, he helped me lose weight & INCREASE MY MUSCLE MASS!

I have been holding onto this weight for years. Then Covid-19 called upon us, and I began working remotely as a nurse from home. The pounds continued to creep up from the long hours of continuous sitting and constantly munching all day long. Then to get off work late, eat dinner and go to bed. Only to get up and start over again the next day. At first after reading all the paperwork outlined and Macros for the day I said, “I don’t know if I can do this.” Then I thought, “no girl, you are going to do this.” So thus, Macros nutritional eating and exercise began. My goals were to gain knowledge and implement correct eating to lose weight, improve my overall health, have more energy, and decrease stress. Coach Ted gives me the time, attention, and suggestions. We openly discuss any concerns I may have, or he may see. He gives me his expertise, advice and recommendations and I find them to be very positive and encouraging. I feel empowered and accept the responsibility as I implemented and progress in this journey to a healthier me. I like being able to communicate with emails, weekly virtual coaching calls, and the sent emails from coach with helpful and inspiring information. Words can’t express the gratitude I feel for Coach Ted with his knowledge and expertise in guiding me on this journey.

I have LOVED working with Ted. I have been a personal trainer for 10 years and I was ready to dive into coaching for myself. I have a 3 year old and 10 month old and feel the healthiest and strongest I have felt in a long time. Counting macros has been so beneficial for my fitness journey. It’s helped me stay focused on my goals and not feel like I’m on a diet. I would suggest this program to anyone! After being in the fitness industry for 10 years I believe that this program would help anyone reach their fitness goals.

Working with Ted was an awesome experience. He is a wonderful coach who is super easy to work with, extremely responsive and knowledgeable. I'd happily recommend his services to anyone who's in need of coaching for their nutrition and/or fitness goals!

Thrive and the Macro Solution works for me! I learned more about the nutrition importance when having a balanced macro lifestyle. I love it. I also now understand the importance of macros with my energy and sleep. Ted helped me with understanding all of this, and always answered any questions or concerns. I was reminded changes aren't only on the scale, take pictures and over time you will see changes in inches lost and body composition. I am super excited that i lost eight pounds, and will continue to lose sticking with this lifestyle. Thanks Coach Ted, so happy with the results.

Hey Ted, I wanted to reach back out to you and say that they advice you gave me in June was spot on and I gained a ton of muscle.

Ted has been an amazing mentor for me! Having my first child, he’s really helped me progress and understand the importance of fuelling my body with the right amount of macronutrients. He is very responsive, encouraging and easy to talk to when working with him. He has been able to show me how to reach my goals without cutting any food groups out! He is super motivating and compassionate, I love working with him!! Working with Ted Is helping me reach my goals at healthy and sustainable way! Thank you Ted!

Thrive has helped me to overcome the feast or famine mentality. There's always just enough to fuel my mind and body without feeling deprived or overfed. It's nice to feel control over that!

I just want to Thank you for the wonderful program and for the guidance this past 8 weeks! Although I believe in the program there is also a part of me that that doubted in the beginning how can i lose weight eating this much?! And I think my progress photo shows a lot and has prove me wrong! The balance of lifting weights and macro counting has definitely improved my physique and kept my sanity and I couldn't be any happier! Like what I said in the past I have found my happy balance and I would like to thank you again for teaching me that I don't have to limit my food choices to improve myself! Balance is key! Again, Thank you!

Deciding to work with Ted and the Macro Solution was exactly what I needed! Ted taught me a much better way to approach weight loss, health, and most of all mindset. Instead of consistently reducing my calories and macros, he did the OPPOSITE and increased my intake to a level I had never dared to eat before and guess what...It WORKED when nothing else would. I had been spinning my wheels without making any real progress until I met Ted and implemented his plan. I did not have to give up my favorite foods, instead I learned to incorporate them into my plan. No food groups are off limits and I am rarely hungry. My clothes fit better and I just feel better in general. Thanks for everything.

I have been working with Coach Ted for four weeks now. I hope to lose about 10 pounds, and recomposition my body by the end of our 12 weeks together. I am seeing positive results so far! I caught on to tracking my macros very quickly, and Coach Ted has been helping me to stay consistent with my exercise routine. I appreciate his honest feedback, getting back to me in a timely manner, and his useful tips! I am excited to see how the next eight weeks go!

Thank you so much for your coaching, it has been most helpful to me in trying to sort out macros. I am continuing to see some benefits of it and is definitely something I feel I can continue to do on my own. I am very happy with the changes i have seen so far and look forward to more positive rewards as I continue on my journey. Thanks again!

Thank you again for all of your help the past 3 months. My percentages are dramatically better and I jumped on the scale 3 times to make sure I wasn’t doing something wrong. Weight - 107.4 Fat - 17.9% Muscle - 45.4% BMI - 19.7% Waist measurement: 26.5” (looks like I lost another .25 inches)

At 8 months postpartum in the midst of a pandemic, I was at the heaviest weight I had ever been in my life. I needed to do something that was sustainable and felt like counting macros was the answer. I was overwhelmed by it though, which was holding me back. I reached out to Ted and I am so happy I did. After my 12 week plan with him, I was down around 24 lbs and sky high on confidence. He made it less intimidating and has set me up for future success. I have a ways to go but I know I will get there with what I have learned from working with Ted. Thanks again Ted!

Thank you Ted for being such an amazing coach. I was trying to lose fat and build muscle at the same time which i understand can be a little difficult. Ted helped me learn how to eat properly to fuel my body and give it what it needs to get the most out of my workouts. Before working with Ted i was super active but severely under eating. My workouts were not giving me the results I was looking for and my nutrition was the reason why. in 3 months I lost 12 LBs while building muscle and I can feel the difference in my day to day / workouts. Ted was very patient and personable. Always there when I had any questions. Before Ted I has just recently started tracking macros but was doing it all wrong.

After 50, fat loss definitely get more difficult — this was my situation, especially after yo-yo dieting. I sought Ted’s help to help me turn things around and end the chaotic path I had been on. Ted’s patient guidance was the missing ingredient! Not only did Ted address the basics of fat loss and accountability, he went far and above to understand my life context and help me customize my journey to build a sustainable life change. With Ted’s support, I lost over 20 pounds during the coaching experience. His expertise and patience is a rare find in the industry.

I am 51 years old. I started working out a year and a half ago to lose weight and gain strength. I work with a personal fitness trainer but after a year of doing the same things, I hit a plateau for five months. I tried several things, including more exercise, less calories, and more calories, and nothing worked. I contacted Ted, who gave me the tools for the missing piece - nutrition and macros. I was not paying attention to what I ate other than hitting my calorie goal. I had no idea how much macros affect my fitness goal. Ted also freed me from thinking I could not have carbs and fat - those I now see as essential. His resources were invaluable, and he is great to work with and always available for any reason. I could not have asked for a better experience. I lost 10 pounds after the 90-day program and gained muscle while eating whole-grain bread and nuts, which I love. I continue to track my macros and do multiple days of cardio and strength training each week. Macros and exercise have become essential to my daily life, and I have never felt better.

Working with Ted was great! His system is clear, simple to implement, and most importantly… it works!

I was always lost when it came to nutrition. I didn’t know what “diet” worked best for me. I didn’t know where to begin to start tracking macros so the coaching really helped guide me! I loved the meal plans so it gave me ideas of what to eat in order to fit my macros. I learned a lot about food & nutrients through tracking macros. I learned that food is fuel! It really has impacted my muscle growth & fat loss. I now feel comfortable to track macros on my own!

I've always struggled with food Intake for proper nutrition, portion size, when I should eat.. I've felt like a slave to something I needed to sustain myself and my goals to live a healthy lifestyle. This program taught me how to have a healthy relationship with my food and not to have anxiety as to what I should put in my body. The resources are a valuable tool to help me reach my goals and so far in a month in down 14 pounds. The author is not only intelligent and knowledgeable about nutrition, but is the image of healthy living. Thank you for this invaluable tool to help me reach my goals!

I have really enjoyed working with Coach Ted and I've learned so much. Through the program I have always felt supported, encouraged and never deprived. The consistency and accountability from Coach Ted and this program have helped me be successful when so many other programs have not!

Macros works for me! I learned more about the nutrition importance when having a balanced macro lifestyle. I love it. I also now understand the importance of macros with my energy and sleep. Ted helped me with understanding all of this, and always answered any questions or concerns along with keeping patient witht he process. I was reminded changes aren't only on the scale, take pictures and over time you will see changes in inches lost and body composition. I am super excited that i lost eight pounds, and will continue to lose sticking with this lifestyle. Thanks Ted, so happy with the results.

Thrive is definitely the way to go. Allows you to eat moderately ALL foods without eliminating any food groups. I believe this is important for overall health. Having a coach to be in contact weekly is a good incentive to maintain your goals, stay on track and eat within your macros.

I've enjoyed this experience which has given me valuable information. I feel more informed in making food choices and feels good to finally understand what my body needs to let go of extra weight. I was working out intensely 3 to 4 times a week for months and while I saw muscle gains the scale was gaining also which frustrated me to no end. Now that I have my macros and food intake at a good place now I can incorporate my workouts back in. I am now as of today, down 11 lbs from my highest weight which I was ping pinging to and from the past 5 months! Oh my gosh so exciting. So 11 lbs in 8 weeks I would say is a success to keep me going😊

I was pleased to see you actually read what I put in the start questionnaire and addressed those items in your response and plan. It felt custom to me. Usually when i tell someone my medical issues i get you should do this, you must do this... Or i get a generic plan that i need to modify. Your responses to my questions were easy to understand, upbeat and polite :-)

I would like to start off by saying I am very happy that I found Ted. My goal was to lose weight because I was at 214 when I started, and now I just hit 179 almost at my goal!!!! Ted helped me get my eating in control through macros, which at first was tuff, however now I'm very happy with my results. I liked that Ted was very patient with me, also that he is very experienced in helping people with their diet issues. I would very much recommend you give him a try because you won't regret it if you are willing to put in the work.

Thrive teaches a way of eating that helped me a lot. Macros helped me to control myself in the cravings that I had, helped me to have more healthy habits and above all helped me to reach my goal while enjoying the food that I like. Now that I have been doing the macro method I was able to lose weight and be in the best shape I wanted.

Ted was fantastic! Worth every penny, he helped me and my husband meet our goals without feeling restricted and starving! Highly recommend his services.

With all this to use, I have no excuse but to get working at a better life. They say that we are meant to be where we are. Sometimes for ourself, and other times for others. I feel I was meant to run across your Macro Solution. So glad I did. Have a fabulous weekend. You have my gratitude for showing me the way out of this body.

Deciding to work with Ted and The Thrive method was exactly what I needed! Ted was very patient with me and taught me a much better way to approach weight loss, health, and most of all mindset. Instead of consistently reducing my calories and macros, he did the OPPOSITE and increased my intake to a level I had never dared to eat before and guess what...It WORKED when nothing else would. I had been spinning my wheels without making any real progress until I met Ted and implemented his plan. I did not have to give up my favorite foods, instead I learned to incorporate them into my plan. No food groups are off limits and I am rarely hungry. My clothes fit better and I just feel better in general. Lastly, Ted is an amazing coach. He provides encouragement without being fake and never judges you for slip ups or mistakes. Feel confident about working with Ted, you will not find a better coach. Thanks for everything.

My goals for working with Ted were to lose weight in a healthy, consistent manner without restricting types of foods. Following a balanced macro approach, I was able to stop skipping meals and lose 20 pounds without feeling hungry or experiencing a loss of energy. Ted offered helpful suggestions and encouragement along the way with our weekly check-ins. He also provided recipes and meal-planning resources as well as interesting weekly articles with ideas for implementation or simply reflection. In summary, I learned how my body responds to Ted's balanced approach using food and exercise to achieve weight loss, preserve energy and stamina, and most importantly develop a system for me that both works and is sustainable in the long term.

I have worked with Ted for two months. I am eating 500 calories more than, originally when i begin trying to grow. I have made impressive improvements. Scales haven't changed much, but lose of fat has increased. I highly recommend Ted to anyone looking for some guidance on getting into better physical condition. He's great at communicating and also he's an amazing coach.

My husband had been a yo-yo dieter his entire adult life, and like so many others, he always believed that carbs were the enemy. I had heard that counting macros was the way to go and the most sustainable method of weight loss and maintenance, so I started searching for before and after photos of people who track macros. I stumbled across Ted’s website and was impressed with the testimonials seen on his website. I encouraged my husband to contact Ted. Best decision ever! Not only is my husband down 17 pounds so far, but I decided to give it a go as well. I’ve always eaten lots of carbs, but never balanced my diet with the right amount of protein and fat. I’ve never been a heavy person, but I was what I called “skinny fat”. As I approached 40, I was noticing the scale creeping up and decided I wanted to lose a good 12 pounds to lean up and get to my goal weight. Since hiring Ted, I’ve started working out 5-6 times a week, I feel strong and fit, and I have a good sense of what my body now needs to feel and look my best. I am super happy with the progress I’ve made over the last 3 months! It’s been awesome having Ted keep me accountable, answer questions, encourage me, and teach me what I need to know about nutrition and fueling my body adequately. I don’t feel like I’m deprived of eating my favorite treats, and I’m still making progress. I hit that 12 pound goal recently and couldn’t be happier. And now I get to write my own testimonial. :) Thanks, Ted!

So far I’ve lost about 25 lbs, 6 inches on my waist, and about 7% body fat as measured by my Fitbit scale. I’ve gone from a Size 12 to Size 6 in dresses and from a 14 to a 10 in jeans. Thank you!

Dear Ted, The day I turned 55 years old was a deal breaker. So tired of being fat and tired, I contacted my daughter to obtain your contact information, hence, changing my life. My endocrinologist had cautioned me that it would be very difficult to lose weight. My thyroid disease was mostly under control and I had been gluten free for a couple years, but yet, I was collecting 2 extra pounds a month. I purchased the macro solution and began putting the eating plan you gave me into play. The weight slowly and steadily began to fall off. I didn’t know what I didn’t know. You filled in those black holes in my eating that I couldn’t have done without you. Every week, your emails reached me and encouraged my progress. My husband soon contacted you and lost his own 15 pounds. I cannot explain how hopeless I was when I sought you out and how ecstatic I am after losing 15 lbs., feeling and looking better. My husband says that eating macros was the easiest, hard thing we have done. So true. Ted, you’re family to us because you walked on this journey with us and figured out how we can live and eat. You are so dang good at what you do, I am grateful to have found you!

What a great experience working with Ted. I came into this journey at my heaviest, 202# and walked away 90-days later at a weight I haven't seen since my early 20's, 186#. Ted's program will start you off in a great direction, challenge your past thinking, and help correct those long-term thought errors that are getting in the way of your goals. For a long time, I used high intensity workouts with little to no diet change. The shift from overuse of exercise to changes in the kitchen was the push I needed to learn my body can feel refreshed, well slept, well fed, and out of physical pain by diet changes. As well as see all activity as productive towards your goals not just high intensity exercise. Hands down, recommend.

Most diets I have tried I have been bored after a week or two. This has not felt like a diet but eating better and making healthy choices. I appreciate the coach as someone to hold me accountable! I’m forever grateful for helping me feel better about myself again. I know I’m not quite done but I’m headed in the right direction! Thank you!!

I began my journey with Coach Ted at a time when things could not have been more challenging. It was the middle of a pandemic, and as a public health official I had almost no time for myself, not to mention an adult special needs child and an aging parent. Nevertheless, as a physician I could see the handwriting on the wall - rising blood pressure and subtle but persistent EKG changes. Reading Coach Ted's bio and seeing the materials he provided on his website I decided that despite so many past failures (even more poignant because I had lost a lot of weight years earlier) I decided to jump in. This simple act was life changing. First, if you have had past experiences where you have been shamed for falling off the wagon or messing up, or you have self shamed, this is the guy to see. His absolute and complete support is a MAJOR GAME CHANGER. Most of us who have been chronically overweight have some pretty mean voices in our heads. Coach Ted will help you get rid of them and he gives you great tools! Second, if your life is busy and unpredictable (whose isn't?) he can calmly walk you through how to ride out the bumps. Too often we want the weight off now, we want the issues stopped now, but it just isn't that easy. Like anything else, our relationship with fitness and food takes time, work and sometimes reconfiguring. Coach Ted taught me that - and with a kindness and compassion that made it feel safe to come clean when things didn't go well. Finally, he gives you tools to continue to use after your time with him is over. I'm down almost 25 pounds and I just turned 69. So all those false claims that you can't lose weight as you age are bogus. Having remained active, I'm better able to kickbox, walk miles with my dogs and now contemplate becoming a personal trainer as I continue to lose the additional weight to reach my goal. I will be forever grateful, and more importantly, I feel 100% comfortable returning if I get stuck knowing I will be supported and helped to reach my goals and not judged. Coach Ted is the real deal and you are in for a chance to make a permanent change working with him - he will be your support and friend on the journey. Thank you Coach Ted!!

I was working out like crazy but my body wasn't changing. Turns out I wasn't eating enough. I followed Coach Ted's plan and my results speak for themselves. I'm stronger, leaner, and feel amazing with my shirt off.

Counting macros has been one of the easiest life changes when it comes to get healthier and losing the baby fat that I was holding onto for 5 years after my 3rd kid. Having the coaching there to help hold me accountable, support, and help made the process so much easier... without coach Ted I don't think I would have gotten as far as I have so far on my macro lifestyle journey.

I have always “dieted” and was very hesitant at 1st and gave Coach Ted a really hard time; he “hung in there” with me. The results have been fantastic! I was eating 900 calories or less a day and going up and down on the scale knowing I had to do something. I do Pilates and with the help of Ted, I now eat 1,500 calories a day, track my carbs, protein and fats and the results have been amazing. I have lost consistently 1 ½ lbs. a week and am down 35 lbs. I no longer “diet” I now have established a very healthy eating attitude and I no longer will worry about putting on any weight.

"Being a sleep deprived new mom with a 4 month old and working a full time job with back to back meetings, I did not think losing weight would be possible for me. I worked with Ted for 12 weeks and explained to him I wasn't able to work out as much as my plate was already too full at the moment. Ted was very flexible and put together a plan for me that worked for me. My main concern was to not lose my milk production for my baby but also wanted to make sure I lost weight. Not only did his nutrition plan work, but I also lost 15 lbs total without being able to work out as much with my busy schedule! I highly recommend working with Ted!"

Ted really helped me make sense of my nutritional plan. Keeping track of my macros was key to me losing body fat! His advice on various protein options (including collagen) really helped me meet my daily protein macros! Ted was super friendly and not judgmental at all when I had missteps (by no fault of his). Ted has given me the knowledge and skills needed to reach my goals! Now it is up to me to continue applying them consistently. Thanks Ted!

I already lost over 3 lbs while using this for two weeks. It is much appreciated and this is the only thing that's actually worked in all of my trying on other programs.

Working with Ted was a truly transformative experience. His comprehensive resources and personalized guidance were invaluable. Unlike other programs, Ted isn't just selling a plan; he's invested in your individual unique needs and success. What truly sets him apart is his unwavering commitment to results. He stands by his methods and puts his money where his mouth is, demonstrating his confidence in his approach. But what's even more impressive is his willingness to work with you until you see results. If you're struggling, he'll adjust the plan, provide additional support, or find alternative strategies. I've consistently lost weight under his guidance and am confident that his approach can work for anyone who's truly dedicated to their goals. If you're ready to take control of your weight loss journey, I highly recommend working with Ted

I started working with Coach Ted to give me accountability with my food choices. I got that and so much more! Coach provides helpful insights and great tips to help you through, in addition to the accountability. The program is very organized, easy to do and thoughtfully planned out. For years, I restricted myself on my food choices and now at this time in my life, I wanted to be less restricted and more balanced. That is what I found with counting macros! I know that counting macros is the way I am going to be managing my weight loss goals from now on. Based on a questionnaire, Coach Ted is able to tell you how many macros to have each day whether you are exercising or if it's a rest day. This program, no it's lifestyle, is very flexible. You will need to log your food choices on an app, which is simple and easy to use. In addition, to Coach Ted keeping me accountable, he provides terrific tips. For example; great desserts to have while counting macros, that will help you succeed. I had one of the suggestions over the weekend and it was delicious! It will be on our weekly grocery list from now on. I am very happy to be working with Coach Ted. I am starting week 4. I like knowing what to expect and I look forward to our weekly phone calls, which he offers. I like the interaction and the personal accountability. Thank you, Coach! I really appreciate you! M~

After Covid, like many people my weight had gone up. I was having a challenging time losing the 10 pounds of Covid weight that I had acquired. Ted helped me with my food tracking and provided nutritional & exercise tips. He also customized the plan considering I am now 46 and took in consideration age related changes that could be happening. Ted is positive, checked in with me regularly and provided that extra that has really helped me get to a better weight and improve my overall health. I would highly recommended Ted & best of luck in your upcoming health journey!

I was very pleased with the information and knowledge that Coach Ted shared with me. I have been on a weight loss journey for most of my life. Learning about macros has completely changed the way I see food. Coach Ted makes it easy to understand. With Coach Ted's program, emails and his one on one personalized Zoom meetings, he is there to help you along the way. Coach Ted shared helpful tips, and videos during our sessions. I know that I am much more prepared in knowing how to continue on because of my time with Coach. Coach Ted is kind, caring and genuinely wants to help you to succeed. I didn't just have a coach in Coach Ted, I also made a friend. Thanks for everything, Coach. I will stay in touch with you and work on my strength training! Take good care! M~

I didn’t have 40+ pounds to lose, or huge weight shifts, or 5 sizes dropped, but I can tell you that I learned how to better control my food intake, managed what I ate much more precisely and learned to not be afraid of food or carbs.

After ordering countless diet books and trying more diets than I can keep track of, I realized that my endless cycles of yo-yo dieting would never end unless I made a change I could sustain. I was always searching for a diet that promised fast weight loss, not sustainable weight loss. I had lost (and re-gained) weight several times in my life and it was always because the plans that I was following were too restrictive and completely unsustainable. One afternoon I came across Coach Ted’s website and was skeptical by the lack of gimmicks in his plan. It seemed a little too reasonable compared to all of the diets I had tried in the past. I decided to take a chance and signed up for personalized coaching that afternoon. I have been working with Coach Ted for almost 12 weeks now and am down 17 pounds! I was so surprised with how much I was allowed to eat and that no food are off limits. My initial goal was solely weight loss, but I have gained so much more from working with Coach Ted! His plan has taught me how to be a more mindful and intuitive eater. He has also helped me shift my focus away from the scale. Most importantly, I feel more balanced and in control of my diet than I have ever felt before! Coach Ted is always available and willing to help in any way to help you reach your goals. I am going to continue working with Coach Ted until I reach my goal weight. Signing up for coaching has been one of the best decisions I have made and I couldn’t be more thankful for all of the positive changes that have come from this experience! I finally feel that I am on the path to sustainable weight loss and it is all thanks to Coach Ted and his plan.

So first of all, I lost 19.5 pounds in 12 weeks and 4 inches off my ribs/natural waist! All of my other measurements went down as well, and though it was quite (very!) challenging in the beginning, having Coach Ted in my corner was key to keeping me motivated. It's easy to see how much he genuinely cares about his clients, it comes through in all of the weekly feedbacks and how he makes himself so available for encouragement and advice. Looking back, I can see how the changes I have made weren't anything dramatic, and definitely not unconventional, but I really couldn't have made that initial transition without the help of Coach Ted. I look forward to many more milestones, and getting some more coaching in a month or two, but I feel that my relationship with food, and with myself as well, has so thoroughly changed for the better that I no longer need the coaching in the same way, I just look forward to sharing my progress and the achievement of my goals with the person who was essential to my success, Coach Ted.
