Welcome to the Metabolic Father Figure Movement


Hi, I’m Hugo Casahonda, but you might know me online as @mff.coach.hugo—the guy who believes fitness isn’t a lifestyle…it’s a tool.

I help busy dads between 30 and 55 reclaim their health, lose the first 20 pounds (without starvation or hours in the gym), and build a stronger, more capable version of themselves—inside and out.

From Rock Bottom to Rebuilt

Let me take you back to the moment that changed everything…

I was in school, weighed over 270 pounds, and thought I’d lost my favorite pen. After searching everywhere, I finally found it—tucked inside one of my belly rolls.

Yeah, that stung.

It wasn’t just about the pen—it was about who I had become. I was exhausted, frustrated, and stuck in the trap most guys fall into: running endlessly, eating like a bird, and getting nowhere.

The truth? I had no real strategy… just guilt, shame, and confusing nutrition advice that never seemed to work.

But I didn’t quit. I studied. I learned. I failed forward.

And eventually—I transformed.




What Makes My Coaching Different

Over the years, I’ve dropped over 100 pounds of fat, added 50 pounds of lean muscle, and built a lifestyle that now supports me in:

  • Deadlifting 455 lbs

  • Running marathons and ultramarathons

  • Earning my purple belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

  • Coaching dozens of clients—including women who eat more and lose weight, and men who break through to single-digit body fat

I hold certifications in Nutrition (AFPA) and am a Level 1 Nutrition Coach + Hormone Specialist with NCI. But more than that—I know what it feels like when you think you’re doing everything right and still failing.

That’s why I coach with one goal in mind:

To give you clarity, structure, and results—without starving or overtraining.

Who I Help

If you’re a father in your 30s, 40s, or 50s who…

  • Feels stuck in the “eat less, move more” trap

  • Thinks you need 2 hours a day in the gym

  • Is more than 50 lbs overweight

  • Has tried every diet but still feels exhausted and underfed

…I got you.

  • A stronger metabolism

SLEEP

 L ights out, it is bedtime?  I use this one most nights with my youngest. Sleep is the inevitable function everyone has to go through or die. Sleep is complicated, as far as what is happening while we sleep, detoxifying the brain, moving short-term to long-term memories, body restoration, etc. We will focus on using it as our base to perform better at work, the gym, and in our household.  How many times did you have a poor night's sleep, and the next day you were short-tempered, hungry, higher stressed, and ended up getting over-caffeinated? Count me in!  It is unfortunate how a poor night's sleep will significantly affect the rest of the day. This is how vital sleep quantity and quality has in our day-to-day lives.  There are some of the biological effects of a reasonable quantity and quality sleep has: Prevents weight gain Improve your immune system Direct impact on your mood Improves exercise performance Better memory Sleep is something we expect t...

Embarking on Your Fitness Journey: Why I'm Your Ideal Sherpa

Image
Are you a parent with a demanding 9-5 job? Do you feel like finding time for fitness and maintaining a healthy lifestyle is an uphill battle? I've been there too, and I want to share my story and why I'm the perfect coach to guide you on your journey to better health. From 270 lbs to 150 lbs: My Journey Like many, I didn't realize I was overweight until one defining moment. It wasn't the frequent clothes shopping for larger sizes or the dine-outs that got me there. It was a simple incident in a classroom, where I lost my favorite pen, and it took an uncomfortable adjustment of my pants to find it - wedged between my rolls. That was my wake-up call. I'm 5'8" and, at the time, weighed 270 lbs. It was a turning point. I embarked on a journey of self-discovery, experimenting with various diets and training programs. I tried it all, from carnivore to keto, and even the popular OMAD (One Meal a Day) diet. These diets can provide amazing short-term results, but th...

METABOLISM

Image
Metabolic rate is a measure of the amount of energy (in the form of calories) that your body uses to perform essential functions such as breathing, circulating blood, and maintaining body temperature. Your metabolic rate is influenced by factors such as your age, sex, weight, and height, as well as your activity level and diet. Metabolism can be thought of as the "engine" that powers your body. Just like an engine converts fuel (such as gasoline) into energy to power a car, your body converts the food you eat and the beverages you drink into energy through the process of metabolism. Your metabolism is responsible for converting the nutrients in the food you eat into energy that your body can use to function. It also helps your body break down and eliminate waste products. Just like an engine needs a certain amount of fuel to run properly, your body needs a certain amount of calories to maintain optimal functioning. If you consume too few calories, your body may not have enoug...
