The Results Method Coaching

Feeling stuck? You're not alone. But here's a little truth: significant progress can happen sooner than you expect. Don't lose hope when things feel tough.

This week Ally and Sarah are joined by Elin Granstrand, Female Empowerment Coach and specialist in helping bodybuilders and fitness athletes reduce food noise and stop binge eating. And this one goes deep.
Elin spent eight years navigating her own eating disorder, beginning at 14, and spent years maintaining a fit, high-performing persona while secretly struggling. Her recovery didn't come from changing what she ate. It came from finally addressing what was underneath it.
In this episode the three of them unpack why binge eating is rarely just about food, how the bodybuilding environment can act as a catalyst for disordered patterns that were already there, and why restriction so often provides a false sense of control that eventually backfires. They get into the nervous system side of recovery, what different stress states look like and why the tools that help one person regulate can be completely wrong for another, and why a binge rarely starts at the moment you think it does.
They also cover the all-or-nothing mindset and where it actually comes from, the warning signs coaches and athletes should know, what it looks like when someone gains 10 to 15 kilos in weeks post-show and how to actually help them, and why Ally will not discuss future competition timelines with any client who hasn't first demonstrated long-term stability.
Plus: why staying in your lane as a coach is one of the most important things you can do for your athletes, and what Elin would tell her younger self.
If you have ever felt like food has more power over you than you want it to, or if you coach athletes and have ever wondered where your scope ends and a referral needs to begin, this episode is for you.
Elin and Ally are also planning a community workshop covering the disordered eating and binge-restrict cycle. Stay tuned for details.

If this episode made you rethink what prep is supposed to feel like, share it with an athlete who needs to hear it.
Progress isn't just the scale. Precision beats pressure every time. This is The Results Method. 🎙️

Don't let hunger ruin your flight. A pre-planned meal schedule, like one from a spreadsheet, keeps you from being hangry and allows you to think clearly. Easily track water and electrolytes for a smoother journey.

The best athletes follow a plan for 4-6 months, just like this. One program delivered incredible gains for 8-9 months because we progressively loaded and hit every key area. This method works.

Usually, shows leave me feeling drained and vulnerable to sickness. But this time? I'm feeling the best I ever have, with energy already returning. It's a testament to our preparation and approach.

Life rarely goes perfectly, and international travel is no exception. Murphy's Law often kicks in. Without contingency plans, you'll face unexpected problems unprepared. 'sLaw

Our approach to the GC competition focused on bringing Sarah in lean and healthy, without compromising our trajectory. We weren't chasing a crown, but using it as practice and to gather data for future shows. The Italy prep, however, was textbook smooth, thanks to extensive prior trialing and understanding what works best for her.

We celebrate a massive win on the Results Method podcast! So thrilled to share this champion's journey with you. Hear what it takes to achieve remarkable results.

Athletes often disappear after a competition, only returning when it's time to prep again. This gap is where progress dies. Coaches must guide athletes through recovery and the off-season to build a better physique for the next stage.

When aiming for gains and a 12-month turnaround, a recovery phase is key. Unlike a traditional reverse diet, this approach allows for more substantial increases to help athletes reach their next stage effectively.
