Yeah I also don’t have access to a gym right now. Including as many body weight exercises as possible would be much appreciated.

Awesome stuff Vic. The tip of eating fruit and nuts only before training is something I have done for a while with great results. I usually wake up have a coffee then do a BW workout. On days I hit the gym mid morning I will get a bowl of berries, some peanut butter and coconut flakes and mash it up. Do some work for an hour or 2 then hit the gym. Warrior style!

Thanks Vic. Today hovering around the 10st 11lb mark, I realise that I’ve achieved as much as I can over the last 9 weeks to lose fat, at the moment there is very little left. The last few evenings training I feel a little below par, and slightly fatigued and I believe the stripped out diet is starting to hamper my lifting progression. I’m now up to squatting 40kg (1-2kg jumps every workout), and my body feels like it is starting to need more food.

So as from tommorow (1st May), I’m gonna increase my calories/protein so that I can recover properly after each workout and continue to build strength/muscle. Stage 1 ‘fat loss’ plan is over (22lb’s lost), Stage 2 ‘muscle building’ plan starting.

I’m assuming that’s the right course of action…

Hi Vic,

Just one thing – We don’t kettlebells at my gym so please provide alternatives if you can.

Thank you!

Simone, something more along the lines of canned tuna and carrots is approximately the same nutritional value but with less sugar than chocolate milk. That would be fine as well. Choc. milk just makes it easier on you so you dont have to have a meal prepared and with you at the gym.

Hi Vic!
Wow!!!! You look great!!!!! I’m up for the challenge for sure.

I’m in this to lose weight and body fat, with the ulimate goal of looking great and being confident in a bikini by my 40th birthday in September. I’m in decent shape but would like to be more defined and lean. I am 39 years old and 5′ 6″.

Where I’m at now:
137 lbs
I don’t believe in the body fat % my scale gives me as it fluctuates alot being a woman or depending on how the moon and stars are aligned or something, but last check was 29.2%

Where I would like to be:
125 lbs
24% body fat

I lift weights Mon, Wed., and Fri. at home. I use dumbbells,kettlebells and a medicine ball. I do a tabata type or other interval type workout on Tues. and Thurs. doing things like sprints, jump rope, burpees, db swings/snatches, etc.

Let’s do this thang!

Vic,
I am curious about the chocolate milk. Something like that is supposed to be avoided in the “easy fat loss diet,” so should someone like myself who needs to lose at least 20 pounds and 10% body fat drink 8 oz. of chocolate milk immediately after weight lifting? (I am female, 5′7″, 190lbs., medium frame, 34% body fat, and I am doing your “lose body fat” workout).

There will be a few different ones for strength, fat loss, muscle building. I suggest you use the one I recommend on May 1st. In the meantime, you should get started on the lose fat one tho if you can…
