Meet Adam Schauble, the PhD “Previously Heavy Dude”

After losing 100 lbs himself, he realized the need for a community transformation. In just 5 years, Adam has helped his hometown peeps lose over 35,000 pounds. Hence the Million Pound Mission.

Adam has developed a 14-day course, which is a daily workout challenge. You can grab that on his website.

SHOW NOTES:

• Several years ago, I found myself at a point of my life where I weight 327 pounds.
  And I remember the exact moment when I hit that rock bottom.
• I was standing in a grocery store holding my credit card, 327 pounds, I was in my late 20’s, had health problems already, feeling depressed, not happy with my relationships and career.
• And at that moment I remembered thinking, if the things will change, things will get better. Let’s get better. Let’s start taking actions.
• So, I started going to work, I started eating healthier, I started exercising.
• I was lifting weights and workout.
• So, I started doing cardio, eating clean, and I lost a hundred pounds.
• In that journey, as anybody would do, you’ll learn a lot. Gain a lot of experience. About nutrition and fitness.
• I’ve been doing a lot of personal training and things like that. And I want to take things to the next level and really impact my hometown and teach my hometown what I have learned and what impacted me in such a huge and positive way.
• So I opened up my own fitness facilities and start doing a boot camp program. Which was the main goal of the boot camp was to teach people the basics and nutrition and fitness.
• So we opened up the facility, we started running the boot camp.
• Over the first five years of boot camp, my hometown lot 35 thousand pounds
• And it felt so good to impact my community – my home.
• Instead of franchising, I said, “let’s step up the game.”
• I lost a 100 pounds myself my hometown lost 35 thousand pounds.
• We’re going to do a million pound mission.
• They said, “you’re crazy man. How are you going to produce a million pounds?”
• I said, “Well, we got to go outside of town. And I’m not going to franchise; I’m going to start a podcast.
• So that’s where the million pounds podcast come.
• I wanted to get on somebody’s podcast and this person has only medical professionals as his guests.
• So I just listed PhD behind my name
• So we did like a prep interview and we really hit it off.
• And I was like, “listen, I got to come clean. PhD stand for Previously heavy Dude.”
• So I just started calling myself the PhD after that and it stuck with the podcast and people refer to that online.

TELL US ABOUT YOUR BOOTCAMP

• That’s what I kind of specialize in, that’s what I called the danger zone.
• I know you specialize in Keto that’s why I brought you on my show.
• I need to expose my people to somebody that is an expert in this field, like Tracee.
• So I tried knowing people like you and learning different tools and for each job, a different tool may be needed.
• So I tried to look at people where they are struggling and where they are succeeding and I say, what nutrition plan might fit the best for their situation. What exercise regimen might be best for this situation and it changes all the time.
• I’m on full ketosis right now and I feel good because that’s what fits my goal that I personally have right now.
• If I needed to be on a more moderate carb plan, that’s when I do more paleo based plan, but it’s all about the goal.
  And I coach all types of people. I like to help people.
• The problem isn’t what modality you use; it’s fixing the whole.
• It doesn’t matter whether you’re doing Keto or Paleo or weight watchers or cross fits or whatever.
• If you always have a vacation and lose it for 6 months, that’s the whole of the road that we have to fix.
• I’ve been experimenting Keto for over a year.
• 3 weeks ago, I had a client has been struggling with seizures and not responding to medicines.
  This is somebody that I love dearly.
• So, I’ve been full bore since that moment – I’m full go.
• My clients motivate me. It’s all about helping them especially in a life-changing situation like this client.
• First 3 days were a little rough. I’m already really low in sugar.
  Not too long ago I went a thousand days of really low sugar.
• The real interesting thing has been my body has adapted where I’m not eating as many of calories.
• My metabolism has becoming more efficient. So I’m doing more intermittent fasting or full fast days and I’m waking up not hungry.
• And plenty of energy, and really clear minded which helps me podcast interview.
• I feel great. I feel really good. And now I’m ready to move to the next level and help people.

DANGER ZONE OF PEOPLE WHO’S NEW IN KETO

• People rush into it and they don’t get the info.
  You need to read to a little about it, you need to understand it, and you need a game plan, or read a book about it from people know what they are talking about.
• People kind of dabble.
• I feel people should do a little bit of sugar detox and a little bit of carb ramp down as they lead into it.
• People have to count their macros. I feel they need to understand those percentages.
• I tried Keto a year ago, and I just thought I don’t need to manipulate my protein at all.
• I was consuming 300 grams of protein.
  I was eating a pound of grass-fed beef everyday.
• My breakdowns right now are, 70-75 percent fat, 20-25 percent protein, and I keep below 5 percent carbs.
• I was an athlete growing up and they said I got to have a lot protein.
• And now, I’m leaner, my workouts are doing great and my sleep is great.
  My body is more efficient.
• There’s one big huge danger zone and that’s what I call the “Cheatogenic Diet.”
• But then they are falling off all the time.
  They are cheating almost daily on it.
• Let’s establish Ketosis, and let’s establish our momentum and let’s give this a shot to work.
• Let’s get committed to that first.

WHAT IS YOUR GOAL?

• My main goal right now is to learn as much as possible and experience it so that I can teach others.
  I am not going to teach others unless I am not going to experience first.
• I got to feel this. I got to do this.
• I remember that I lost weight and I can see my abs.
• With the Keto plan, I got really lean down quickly.
• I look at myself in the mirror, I look how my body’s performing, how I’m performing with my endurance test and I know things are cool.
• I have so many clients that struggles with weighing issues.
  I’ll do it maybe every once in awhile, but it is not that necessary for me.
• With Keto, I’m really excited to have another weapon and tool.

WORDS OF WISDOM

• I try to paint a picture.
  Because with losing weight, getting healthy, with body transformation – there’s a lot of confusion.
  And there’s people out there willing to take actions, they just don’t which directions they go and how hard the phase to walk out.
• So I’ve been through it.
  So I create processes and name the, and explain them.
• This is the process I called, “The Amazing Results Formula” and there are 4 components.
• First component is you have to be committed to a nutrition plan.
• Second component is you have to be committed to a fitness plan.
• Third is strategic thinking.
  You implement strategic thinking in to your transformation.
  Thinking strategically mainly by being able to identify, analyze and overcome the danger zone.
• Fourth thing is being able to apply the first three consistently over time.
• And if people will do these 4 things, the results will happen.

WHAT QUOTE THAT INSPIRES YOU?

• “Even though I can’t be at my best, I can still do my best.”
• “When you can’t be at your best, you can still do your best”
• “For things that change, you have to change.
  For things to get better, you have to get better.” –Henry Ford
• I accomplished every single goal that I set 5 years before.
• I was 7 days late in opening my fitness facilities.
• And 5 years later, everything has accomplished.
• From unhappy and kind of heartbroken to married and with a child.
• A 100 pounds down, business, thriving and people losing thousand of weight.
• A year and a half ago I did not have a podcast, the million pound mission thing was not really happening and now I got ranked number 60 in the fitness and health podcast.
• I just feel so grateful.
• The guy who used to look in the mirror and be depressed about how I look and how I felt, and now I can help other people escape that exact thing situation.
• I’m just grateful every single day to be able to connect with people and help them make a change.
