            The effectiveness of the ergogenic fat loss diet in conjuction with dietary supplements is demonstrated in this 5 week study of a male bodybuilder.

 

 


CASE STUDY

NAME  PAUL ADDEY
AGE:  31 years
SEX:   Male  
HEIGHT:  6’  
YEARS TRAINING:  15  
BODY TYPE:  Mesomorph

EFFECT OF HIGH PROTEIN, LOW CARBOHYDRATE, LOW FAT DIET IN COMBINATION WITH SUPPLEMENTS ON BODY COMPOSITION

 

            Paul came to see me in February 1997.  He was happy with his training but felt he could improve on the nutrition side.  I could see he had great genetic potential but was quite smooth.  The first thing to do was strip his body of the excess fat while retaining his muscle mass.  We did this by altering his diet and adding supplements.  His weight training remained unaltered.  I photographed him (14th February) noting his weight (108.1 kg) and bodyfat (21.5%).

            Five weeks later (21st March) we repeated the measurements.  Paul had dropped nearly 7 kg (down to 101.3 kg) and his bodyfat had dropped to 14.8% (a 6.7% drop).

 

            To calculate Lean Bodyweight, determine the amount of fat in kg and then subtract this from the bodyweight.

                                                Lean Bodyweight

eg:        108.1 kg  x  21.5%  =  23.2 kg fat            84.9 kg  (108.1 - 23.2)

            101.3 kg  x  14.8%  =  14.99 kg fat            86.31     (101.3 - 14.49)

 

            This means that over the five weeks Paul was able to lose 8.21 kg of fat and put on 1.41 kg of muscle.  This is a phenomenal result for a natural bodybuilder.  I would have been happy if he had just retained his lean muscle mass, let alone increase it by over 1 kg.  You can’t beat good genetics in combination with correct diet, training, supplementation and rest.

NOTE:

 

            This is the diet Paul followed from 14th February to 21st March (five weeks).  It is not a long term eating plan, but a short term specific purpose diet for Fast Fat Loss whilst maintaining muscle.  It is extremely high in protein (too high for long term consumption) and limited in carbohydrates.  (Lacks simple sugars such as fruit, and lacks starchy complex carbs such as bread, rice, cereal, pasta)

            His long term maintenance diet will be more balanced with less protein and more carbohydrates.  Fat will still remain low.
