Dreamshape
Nutrition's founder first became interested in nutrition when he
was 13 years old. At this time he was performing Lau Gar Kung Fu and
just beginning weight-training. He was intrigued by how food could give him
more energy and at first followed advice given in an old time strength
course.
At 18 years of age he gave up martial arts to concentrate on
medieval battle re-enactments and proper weight-training in a gym (albeit his
friends garage). He was also working in the furniture industry which, being a
very physical job, necessitated that he ate about 2500 calories/day to give
himself enough energy for work and leisure and to allow his muscles to
recover.
Unluckily when he was 19, he suffered a
double hernia and, in his naivety, he carried on consuming 2500 calories/day
while he convalesced over a 10 week period. During this time he grew a bit
fat due to excess calories and set about doing something about it.
Through reading many fitness and
nutritional journals, he gained a lot of information about nutrition and set
about using the methods of natural bodybuilders to lose weight/fat. From
these initial ideas, he developed a spreadsheet system which takes into
account a persons current weight, lifestyle, willpower and number of meals to
eat per day.
In 1994 he took his first weightlifting
qualification with the British amateur weightlifting association. In 1998 he
qualified in Optimum and Sports Nutrition with Premier Training and
Development, (now known as Premier Fitness) and has been slowly growing the
customer base and reach of Dreamshape Nutrition. In 2004 he qualified as a
Gym Instructor with the YMCA. He is now hoping to develop the business to
make a real difference in the fight against obesity and also improve the
quality of life for the clients of Dreamshape Nutrition.
