Dreamshapenutrition's
founder,
Stuart Hutchin,
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.
Stuart was intrigued by how food could give him more energy and at first
followed advice given by Charles Atlas.
At 18 years he gave up martial
arts to concentrate on medieval battle re-enactments and proper
weight-training in a gym (albeit his friends garage). Stuart 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 Stuart was 19, he suffered a
double hernia and, in his naivety, he carried on consuming 2500 cals/day while he convalesced over a 10 week period. During this time Stuart grew a bit
fat due to excess calories and set about doing something about it.
Through reading many bodybuilding magazines,
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, Stuart
developed a spreadsheet system which takes into account a persons
current weight, lifestyle, willpower and number of meals to eat per day.
In 1994 Stuart 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). In 2004 he
qualified as a Gym Instructor with the YMCA. Stuart is now hoping to further
his
qualifications so that he can improve the quality of service
Dreamshapenutrition
provides to
its clients in the future.
