Built by a founder who lived it
Shred Coach wasn't designed in a boardroom. It was built during a real 60-day cut by someone who needed it to exist.
6 years of putting work first — late nights, skipped meals, zero structure around my health. When I finally decided to change, I tried every app out there. None of them worked. So I built my own. — Ben Nelson, Founder

Blog — Real talk about getting lean
No seed oils. Organic produce. Grass-fed everything. I obsessed over the quality of every meal for seven years — and gained forty pounds. Here's the trap clean-eating culture never warns you about, and why quality was only ever half the equation.
In the last 30 days my scale weight went UP 0.6 lbs — while I dropped 2 lbs of fat and added 1.6 lbs of muscle. This is body recomposition, the reason the scale systematically undersells your progress, and the strongest argument I have for tracking more than one number.
After Cinco de Mayo, I said I was done with alcohol. But one data point isn't proof. So two weeks ago in Vegas, I ran the experiment again — deliberately this time. The result: 8 lbs of retained water and a full 7 days for my body to calm down. Here's the complete timeline.
