From DIY to body recomposition: Leonardo’s story
Leonardo studies, works as an educator for children with disabilities, and has trained for years. In May 2023 he chose to pair training with a nutrition plan. Before, he relied on internet templates and “miracle” supplements. Working together, he learned that lasting results come from method, not shortcuts.
What made the difference:
Tailored plan with adequate fats and carbs;
Periodization: bulking in winter, cutting in summer, then maintenance;
Targeted supplements;
Nutrition education → autonomy: closer check‑ins first, then spaced out;
Smart flexibility for social life; listening to body signals.
Results: More lean mass, less fat, improved shape. Strength and performance up. Stable energy. Hunger well managed during cutting phases. A calmer relationship with food (helpful given a past history of anorexia).
Leonardo’s message: "if it matters to you, invest. Learn how your body works, trust your guide, and don’t quit in the first weeks. Results show up—and stick".
