I stumbled across your website by accident whilst in search of the old high fat diet. Your website is fantastic by the way and has a allot of very usefull information. I found another website called FitDay.com which is very good aswell it has like a macro nutrient caculator thing where u enter in all the food which you have consumed for the day. I was thinking that you should add something like this to your website.. It would be the icen on the cake.

cheers,

The entire filming and editing took 2 years. The before and after photos you are looking at were during a 6 month period and measurements were documented in a Bod Pod which is the gold standard of body fat measurements.

There are 2 phases on the film. The first 18 week phase, Stuart trained Max-OT with little to no attention to diet and his changes were documented.

Then there was a period of time off before we started phase 2 and in that time off Stuart actually ended up in worse shape before going into phase 2 which are the before and after photos you are looking at.

In the 2nd phase Stuart followed the diet to the letter and actually competed in a bodybuilding contes at the end and achieve the dramatic changes you see.

This will all make sense if you see the film and follow his journey.

To achieve a drop from 30% to 6% bodyfat in 6 months while still showing a net gain of lean muscle in the end takes the execution of an intelligent plan.

Thank you for your time and attention.

Sincerely,

Jeff Willet

204 @ 30% = 61.2 lbs fat, 142.8lbs lean
154 @ 6% = 9.24 lbs fat, 144.76lbs lean

So he lost 52 lbs of fat while putting on… (drum roll)… 2 lbs of muscle, all the while losing around half a pound of fat per week. Sounds sustainable and practical, a moderate loss to get where he’s going in a couple of years.

But I have one question: WTF on the muscle gains? I put on more muscle than that my first six weeks of training. Does this mean that when I start shooting for single-digit body fat, all my muscle gains will just disappear?
