I’ve had some questions on Twitter about my weight loss so here’s the deal.

In December 2010, I weighed 95kg (209.4lbs) with bodyfat at 30%. At 5 ft 8ins tall that’s not a pretty sight, let me tell you, but it sure was fun and remarkably easy getting there! Today in late-February, my weight stands at 79kg with bodyfat at 20%. I’m just under half way to my goal of 8% bodyfat.

Don’t expect pictures just yet – the “before” is truly hideous, and I’m not quite ready for the “after” shots. My pectorals have a covering of fat and still look like man-boobs. Maybe once I reach my goal, I’ll post them. Anyway…

My diet

My diet plan is rigid. This makes it easy to plan, easy to buy and easy to cook, but truly dull (I never said anything about it being fun). Disclaimer – I am not paid by Maximuscle or anyone else, and do not endorse any products. Any products or supplements I use are due to personal preference (mainly on taste and convenience).

  • 07:00 am – 1 pint water, A-Z multivitamin tablet, 1 Maximuscle Thermobol capsule
  • 07:30 am Breakfast – 1 cup of porridge with 1 scoop of Maximuscle Promax (20g protein), mixed with water, cup of tea with skimmed milk
  • 10:00 am Snack – 1 scoop of Maximuscle Promax (20g protein) mixed with water
  • 12:00 pm Training – 1.5 pints water, 1 Maximuscle Thermobol capsule
  • 13:15 pm post training – 1 scoop of Maximuscle Promax (20g protein) mixed with water
  • 14:30 pm Lunch – 1 cup brown rice, 1 plain chicken breast, broccoli (25g protein)
  • 17:00 pm Afternoon snack – Maximuscle Promax meal replacement bar (20g protein), 1 Maximuscle Thermobol capsule
  • 19:30 pm Dinner – 2 lean, plain turkey breasts, 1 cup mixed veg or salad (50g protein)
  • 21:00 pm Snack – 1 scoop of Maximuscle Promax (20g protein) mixed with water
  • at least 3 litres of iced water throughout the day

That’s 175g of protein (just over the recommended 1.5g-2g of protein per kg of body weight) and yes it has side effects that make me less popular with colleagues and friends, especially those with a keen sense of smell!

It aint fun, and the supplements can be expensive, but it works when combined with proper training. I know because I’ve done it before.
