Burn Fat Participant Feature: Kelly Hanley

We will be featuring some of our past participants of the Burn Fat & Feast and Elite programs. We want to celebrate and share these amazing women with everyone. They have worked so hard on their journey to a healthy lifestyle! Today we are featuring Kelly. Read this Q&A about Kelly's fitness goals and how she tackled them!  

Q&A with Kelly Hanley

Tell us a little about you, where you live, children, occupation, etc.

I am a 36 year old wife and mommy of two small kids, ages 5 and 2.5.  I live in Brentwood, TN and I'm a pilot for Southwest Airlines.  

Describe your nutrition before starting the Burn Fat and Feast program.

I travel every week with my job which can make nutrition and even workouts challenging.  

Describe your fitness routine before starting the Burn Fat and Feast program.

I was moderately active, and was trying to make healthy food choices.  

What made you decide to join this program ?

I decided to give Burn, Fat, And Feast a try because I wasn't really seeing results with what I had been doing to try to lose about 5 pounds that just wouldn't go away.

  How do you feel now that you have graduated?

After joining BF&F, I learned that what I had thought was healthy really wasn't as good as I thought.  I've also learned that eating a diet of the right kind of foods, you'll actually be stuffed and struggle to get in your daily calorie goal.  Since I completed the first program of BF&F, I have lost those pesky 5 lbs that I was unable to lose on my own.  I feel less bloated, have more energy, and overall just feel better.  

Share with us 2 successes, things you learned or what your biggest takeaways were upon completion.

One of the most surprising things I learned from BF&F was that I actually came to enjoy the fasting.  When I first learned about the intermittent fasting, I was really reluctant to even try it.  However, I decided to go all in since I signed up for the program, and I love how I feel after fasting.  There are moments that can be difficult, but once done you really feel good.  I also have personally been very intrigued by all the science regarding intermittent fasting and the health benefits that result in incorporating it into your diet.  I personally also LOVE feast day!  I don't think at this stage for me personally I could mentally commit to this diet change without knowing I will get a day to eat whatever I want.  However, that said, I have noticed that my stomach doesn't always love feast day like I do.  It reiterates the need and desire to eat healthy and make good food choices during the week.
 
I do still sometimes struggle with food options while traveling.  However, being equipped with more knowledge and better information allows me to make the best choice I can make.  This is still a work in progress for me and while I don't always get it right on days I'm trying to do well, I know that I can pick back up and start again the next meal or day.  I am grateful for the things I've learned and look forward to carrying it through once completed.

Kelly, thanks again for participating in the Burn Fat & Feast and Elite programs.
