Starting the year 2007 I was 20kg overweight, unhappy, without energy, feeling very uncomfortable with myself, male individual. My eating and drinking habits was probably as bad as most middle aged South African Males. I managed to shed about 5kg’s up to November when I realized I need help if I want to see significant results. The USN Body & Lifestyle Competition was exactly what I needed and I jumped for the opportunity with everything I got. It wasn’t all plain sailing through the 12 weeks, as I had to deal with the Christmas holidays and then the new years. To top it all I had to leave home during January and with it my support structure for 4 weeks for work. Being in a new environment I had to really be creative to stick to some sort of training program and it is always more difficult to eat healthy away from home. Thanks to USN I managed to stay focused and this is my report:
Change in Daily Nutrition:
I seriously studied the Passport and information on the DVD and for the first time I had an idea of what a healthy eating plan should look like. The calorie chart on page 21 of the passport was really helpful as I’m not the kind of person that could stick to a set menu day after day. It was when I started counting calorie intake per day that I really changed my eating habits.
The best thing for me was that I actually got to eat broccoli and enjoying it for the first time in my life.
Change in Workout Routine:
I started to gym around October 2007. I only did the super circuit at my local Gym because I did not really know how to put together a good weight training program. The passport gave me the program with its easy to use guidelines. However, once I started training, I had to change my original program to suite my individual needs as I found that the same muscles group did not like being trained two days in a row.
USN Supplements used:
- Diet Fuel
I found the Diet fuel very convenient for the in between meals meal. I believe it helped to control my appetite. All the flavours are delicious but I enjoy the Vanilla the most.
- CLA Caps
The fact that my cholesterol, which was out of control was within two weeks down in the safe zone made me a believer in CLA Caps forever. I could use this product on an ongoing basis.
- Phedra-Cut XT
Friends and colleagues also told me how Phedra-Cut is probably the best fat burner on the market today. My results in just 12 weeks made me a believer of this amazing product too.
- Phedra-Cut XT Liquid
I actually liked the taste better than the caps and it was more convenient to use as I could easily just add it to my morning Diet Fuel Shake.
My Most inspirational factor:
My son Gian is probably my most inspirational factor as he is a very active athlete with an unsatisfying appetite for training. H is 17 going on 18 and I just could not keep up with him anymore. We both like to do a lot of outdoor activities such as mountain biking, white water rafting, hiking, bungee jumping, etc. As part of his preparation for the 2008 athletics season he had to do a lot of gym-work to strengthen his muscles. We could more or less use the same weight training program and he always asked me when are we going to gym, how could I not go with my son. It was and still is great to train with him..
How would I describe to a friend how the USN Body & Lifestyle Challenge has successfully changed my lifestyle?:
When you have changed as much as I did in 12 weeks people want to know how you did it. It gives me great pleasure telling them about the USN Challenge and how it gave me direction. Previously I tried to loose weight by eating a bit healthier and doing some training but I did not have much success. Once I started with the USN Body & Lifestyle Challenge I really got focused, I was goal driven, I could see my progress week by week as I was keeping record of my daily calorie intake and my weekly stats on all vital measurements. I got my diet structured and under control, I got a training program that worked and I got great supplements that helped me reach my goals. It worked for me, it will work for you!
