Nutrition and Training Program
I am going to share with you a variety success principles that have been used to influence dramatic changes in the physical fitness level of both men and woman. These principles have been used by successful professional athletes, advanced coaches, trainers & experienced nutrition consultants.
The info that I will be sharing with you to help you along your path is the result of over 30 years of my personal research, experiences, education, mentoring, coaching, applications, trials and errors, in a wide variety of experiences in Health, fitness, medicine and public servic. My obsessive studying of bodybuilding began very early in life. My quest in bodybuilding began at 8 years old. I wanted a weight set or a skateboard for my 8th birthday. I received the weight set for my 8th, membership to a gym on my 11th, began competing in bodybuilding competitions at the unheard of age of 12, and the rest is history. It has been over thirty years since I received that first weight set and I am excited to share the lessons I have learned from the experts that mentored, instructed, coached and shared with me. I have taken what feel to be some of the most effective lessons used to influence dramatic advances one's fitness level, and constructed a series of valuable guidelines I am going to share with you. These are the guidelines that I use
when I personally clients in their goals of losing fat, building muscle, increasing their physical performance level. These guidelines have been used by men and woman from a wide range of age groups. I have used these guidelines to successfully coach clients with a variety of goals including but not limited to:
Over the years just like you I’m sure, I have tested a variety of different Nutrition and exercise programs based upon varying theories. I have also tried a variety of these different philosophies on various clients. I have discussed the pros and cons of the application different theories among my coaching peers. These experiences combined with the formal education, training and experiences have led me to the principles I currently promote.
As my interests, experiences and responsibilities have changed with age over the years so has the valuation on different factors of health and fitness. This is reflected in my currently promoted guidelines. I definitely place a different value on my health than i did as a younger competitive bodybuilder. As a young competitive bodybuilder I definitely cared more about the physical appearance of my physique than and indirectly concerned with my internal health and fitness as it pertained to how i looked. Now, years later with the current state of life I place more value on health, vitality, longevity, energy, convenience and balancing life.
I promote the goal of frequently eating a large variety of healthy foods providing a wide range of proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals, micronutrients, and trace elements. My goal is to provide the nutrients necessary to allow organs, glands, hormones and in turn the overall metabolic rate to function at its full current potential. My program is not about starving or depriving the body and resulting in organ function set backs and decreased metabolic rates. My goal is to provide more food and nutrients, systematically in an organized fashion.

Jeremy Williams Quick Start Guidelines
The Quick Start Guidelines give you enough info and goals to start making some positive changes. Start implementing these guidelines now. As you take in more information and learn more you will adopt new changes and make adjustments where necessary. For now master the basics and implement the Quick Start Guidelines. Chances are you are not succeeding in all of these 8 basic goals. It is likely that to initiate some major changes in your physical appearance and performance you do not need to implement a extreme training or complex nutrition program. Most of the people I have come across that seeking improvement, from the stay at home mom desiring the youthful body of her past to the advanced competitive bodybuilder, have similar habits hindering their success. They fail to consistently succeed at these Basic Guidelines the majority of the time. Study these 8 Quick Start Guidelines and reflect back on your current lifestyle. Think about your average day, not your best day, not your worst day but the way your training and nutrition is the majority of the time. Reflect back and look at your past week as a whole. How consistent were you at succeeding in the guidelines? Could you do better more often? Yes! Now find a way to do it! Make the decision and start now! Its go time! Get on point
In reviewing these guidelines many new questions may come up for you. You may think you need to have the answer to a few more questions per guideline to properly start out on the right foot. If this is the case, you are not giving yourself enough credit. You are smart enough to get started within these 8 parameters. There is so much information out there on nutrition and training that it seems to overwhelm people and they tend to overcomplicate everything. So many people over complicate it to the point that they never start. It is very likely that the answer to your question will come later in this program when necessary. I will provide you with information and goals in a systematic orderly fashion strategically designed to build upon the principles and skills that you previously will have learned and mastered. Strive to make each day and week better than the last.

“You might be a meat head”
You have to admire and respect the extreme desire dedication & determination that individuals of our sport posses. To the rest of the public your level of commitment may come across as a bit unusual.
Sometimes you just need to keep it light and laugh at yourself. I myself am an old school recovering “meat head” so I feel I can post the following jokes, as at one point in my life a lot of these applied to myself or my close friends. The following comments are meant in good humor and in no way meant to offend anyone. My kids and their friends have come up with many of these having been surrounded by silly “meat heads most of their life.”
Feel free add any “You might be a meat” jokes in the comment section below, just don’t be offensive.

Jeremy Williams is a Fitness Expert, Author, Publisher, Promoter, Educator, Public Speaker, Researcher / Developer, in the field of nutrition, Supplementation, training, and competition preparation for physique type contests as well as a variety of other athletic specialties. He has also worked as a medical professional in a variety of capacities. Jeremy shares unique perceptions based on knowledge and experience he has gained from a variety of platforms. His passion for bodybuilding at the age of 8 led him to begin as a dedicated competitive bodybuilder by the time he was 12. Over the years he studied the success traits and principles of those who have mastered the ability to take control of their physique. Jeremy has assumed many roles in the realm of bodybuilding, from a competitor, to coach, judge, and promoter of the N.P.C WA State bodybuilding, Figure, Physique, Championship. Following high school this passion for fitness led him toward the study of nutrition. Jeremy’s compassion and desire to truly help others, directed him toward becoming an EMT and Firefighter. It was here in the world of emergency medicine, a new passion developed. Jeremy became a Paramedic and then onto an Anesthesia Technician at the University of Washington Medical Center, Followed by Seattle Children's Hospital.
“I have had the unique privilege to be a part of many people's: best, worst and unfortunately last day on earth. I have had the opportunity to work on a medical team of some of the most brilliant medical professionals conducting a vast amount of medical research and development at a large prestigious medical center. This has given me a very unique filter that I now am able to look through and provide something very unique. My passion now lies in sharing with others how to prolong the ” quantity of quality life” through effectively managing your own health and fitness with intelligent lifestyle choices that impact all of us in varying degrees. I believe that most people have a good idea of what they should be doing but they just are not doing it. The true key and “secrete to success” is balance and constancy of the basics that most people truly already know. I provide information to back up what you already know, until you have enough leverage within yourself, to just do it. Believe in yourself, strive for consistency with balance and don’t get discouraged to the point of quitting. From my experience, statistically speaking, many are likely to have a bad day and fall off course. It happens to the most everyone. Champions recognize it and pull themselves back on course and don’t quite! Learn from your downfalls as this is where you gain true wisdom and strength.” Jeremy Williams
