Max stumbled across intermittent fasting whilst travelling through South America and realised the power it had to burn fat, boost energy levels and banish hunger pangs. He then developed his own method known as “The 2 Meal Day” which is a fundamental part of his bespoke online plans. Using his passion for “real food” to create delicious, simple meals with a focus on nutritional content. He has trained and competed as a sprinter, run an ultra marathon, and helped thousands of people achieve their goals, both through his 2 Meal Day Community. He teaches people how to incorporate methods that reset your body to its natural state, like sleep, movement, intermittent fasting, breathing, and cold-water therapy.
