We basically started out with a very restricted diet, but with the modification that allowed him to eat from the food that was in his culture. You see, to make a diet work (mentally) there should be some things that makes the client feel at ease. Those small things could make a big different! To stick to a diet for a longer period (which for me is at least 10weeks) there have to be some kind of approach were the client isn’t feeling “locked up”, and with that slight modification of the diet, the clients feelt it was easier to remain “sane”

After the massive fatloss plan, (12% loss in 10 weeks) we changed the approach to a more compatible diet where he’s allowed to eat from all nutrients. About 40% comming from carbohydrates. His bodytype is mesomorph/endomorph which makes him easy to work with, he accepts carbs well, he can also use some kind of ketogenic approach (but I don’t think it fits his lifestyle as that kind of diet seems to be a bit rigid). To determine his bodytype (other than looking at his diet habits and his historical weight record) there can be some simple tests done. You also have to ask yourself the question – Is the fatbuildup because he acctully eating alot of crap or is it because he stoped being active?

We also developed a training schedule that was easy to maintain, and to get the client to change the behaviour around training. There is no worry if you can’t make a session, you can do it another day, anyway the diet makes the energy deficit not really the training. Fat will be lost even if you miss a session!

We have another period of 16 weeks togheter, and I will make him drop to about 15% fat. Now thats a change in Bodycomposion isn’t it?

In terms of weight he lost 16 % after 13 weeks and all strenght related lifts has gone up… He’s now using the IF method, and really enjoy the simplicity of it!
