This is a different kind of nutrition program.

Isn’t it a mess? fad diet, hard to follow nutrition information, and flashy new app can be confusing in the fitness world. Most people have a hard time getting in shape.

We want to fix that with the Precision Nutrition System.

How? By giving control back to the people who are ready to make a change, and who want something more than just another stupid diet book.

Nutrition and lifestyle information science has to offer. Time-tested with over 100,000 clients. Distilled into a complete system.

The world’s best fitness professionals use it.

It’s no big secret:

If you don’t change your nutrition and eat better, you won’t get the results you want.

We need to eat better. The problem is…how?

Lots of people have ideas. I am one of them. My ideas are probably a little different than what you have heard before.

The website you are reading right now is called Precision Nutrition and is co-founded by Dr. John Berardi.

I have been working in the nutrition and fitness industry for over two decades.

I earned my PhD in nutrition and teach university-level nutrition courses.

I have shown personal trainers how to get better results with their clients and worked with pro athletes.

I am proudest of the work I do with my Precision Nutrition team.

Over the last 15 years, we have tested the method behind Precision Nutrition Coaching with over 100,000 clients. Several peer-reviewed research papers documented the safety and effectiveness of our approach.

We take the most up-to-date science and test it with real people to see what works and what doesn’t. It is the only thing like it in the world.

Helping people take control of their own health and fitness is meaningful work we love and take a lot of pride in here at Precision Nutrition.

I am sad and angry with the state of the nutrition and fitness industry right now.

It is hard for most people to figure it out. That makes me angry. When the next big diet comes around.

I am sad because I see a bunch of hopeful people put their trust in a diet that will end up failing them in the long run, but that will make the creators and proponents of that diet rich and famous in the short term.

I don’t blame people who want to get in shape.

I feel bad for them because they are the kind of people we work with.

They are people with real lives and jobs. They want to know how to eat better so they can live better lives. Everyone deserves access to the best information.

The people I blame are the people who claim that one way of eating is superior to the other.

The whole nutrition thing is more confusing than it needs to be.

I’ve been around long enough to see wave after wave of new diets.

Zone. There is a person named Atkins. Weight Watchers is a weight loss program. The fat is low. It was paleo. Vegetarianism. Low weight. And on and on.

Not all of those diet are bad. Many are good, especially the ones that help control appetite, improve food quality, and raise nutrition awareness.

They are all still on diet.

They all say the same thing: My way is better than yours.

That is what gets me. The finality of something. The arrogance of it. It is my way or the highway.

You can either eat all raw veggies and no meat, or you can never get in shape.

Everyone seems to be missing the fact that there is no best diet that every person should follow.

Let me repeat that.

There is no best diet that you should follow if you want to take control of your nutrition and lead a healthy lifestyle.

If the people who write diet books spent enough time actually working with clients, they may start to feel the same way.

Why there isn’t a “best diet.”

Over the last 15 years, my team and I have coached nearly 100,000 clients in 100 countries, through our coaching research program.

There are many people who come to us.

• Body type: Some clients come to us tall and thin. Others come short and stocky.
• Dietary preferences & exclusions: Some clients come to us eating lots of meat every day. Others come eating no meat at all.
• Budget: Some clients come to us with an incredibly low budget. Others come with an unlimited budget.
• Relationship to food: Some people are emotional eaters who tend to overeat when they’re stressed or alone. Others tend to undereat when they’re stressed.
• Organic / conventional: Some clients come to us eating only boxed and packaged foods. Others come eating only natural, organic, whole foods.
• Nutrition knowledge: Some clients come to us as devout followers of a certain dietary practice. Others come with very little nutrition knowledge whatsoever.
• Time: Some clients come to us with lots of free time for a health and fitness project. Others come with very little time to devote to health and fitness.

You can see the picture.

The important part, one that many diet experts seem to miss completely, is here.

If you are militant about a single diet or nutrition paradigm, there is no way to help all those people eat better and get healthier.

Can you imagine hearing something like this?

You have a low budget for food. If you sell your vehicle or one of your children, you will be able to afford the organic and free-range whole foods we recommend in our program. That is the only way to get fit.

Or…

Carbs? You are not alone. We all like them. The program is all about cutting back. The only thing that works is low carb. Say goodbye to pasta. There are also potatoes. And rice. And sugar.

Or even…

I understand the moral and ethical obligation you have. We eat animal foods. You need the fat. It is how our ancestors ate. Let’s start the party with a steak on the grill.

These responses are not that far away from what I hear in the gym or read on Facebook.

The nutrition industry is confusing everyone.

People get frustrated and fail when they are confused. They do nothing and never change.

Nobody wins in that scenario.

The best-kept secret in the nutrition industry?

Here at Precision Nutrition, we know it is possible to get healthy and fit if you eat a lot of small meals and don’t eat a lot of meat or large meals. There isn’t a best way.

Most people are still missing something.

Something very important. Without it, most people don’t have a chance of fixing their nutrition or getting in shape, no matter how much information they have.

What is missing?

The model is based on science and real-world research.

That is what we use at Precision Nutrition. It is the opposite of a diet. Our clients have been successful because of it.

The model we use at Precision Nutrition helps you change your habits. It works the same way as a diet.

If you want to do a diet, you need to change your life on Day One and follow a set of rules.

That means you get better results.

We have spent the past few years refining our approach.

Our system is known by some of the top coaches in the fitness industry as the best-kept secret in nutrition.

We do more than just give people information and send them on their way. We teach them how to use that information in daily practice.

That is how they are in control. That’s how they have the power.

When people have the best information, specific habits to follow, and know how to fit it all into their busy lives, things start to happen.

Get the best information science has to offer.

If you want to transform your bad habits into a healthy lifestyle, learn how to take control of your nutrition.

We have learned what works when it comes to getting in better shape and leading a healthy lifestyle after working with over 100,000 clients.

Unless you were a coaching client of Precision Nutrition and worked directly with us, there was no way to get all that useful information.

That had to change.

With the nutrition industry confusing everyone by pumping out diet after diet and arguing over who is better, we felt morally obligated to give people another option.

We put everything we have learned about nutrition, eating well, and lifestyle habit- change into one complete program: the Precision Nutrition System.

If you want to take control of your own health and fitness, make a lifestyle change, or just learn our best-kept nutrition secrets, then we made this just for you.
