Many men lose weight but stay soft in the middle because they skip strength training and eat too little protein.
Here is a plan for grooms.
- Pace: about 0.5 to 1 kg a week.
- Food: protein at every meal and a moderate deficit.
- Training: lift three or four times a week plus walking.
- Track: waist every week.
Weeks 1 to 4: Build the Habit
Set the base.
- Measure waist, weight and take photos
- Eat 1.6 to 2.2 g of protein per kg of bodyweight
- Walk 8,000 steps a day
- Lift three times a week
Weeks 5 to 8: Push
Raise the work.
- Add reps or weight every week
- Increase steps to 10,000
- Review your waist at week six
- Reduce portions slightly if the waist is stuck
Weeks 9 to 12: Sharpen
Keep going and plan the finish.
- Hold your routines
- Add two core sessions
- Avoid crash diets
- Plan the final week and your outfit fitting
Realistic Results
Many men lose 5 to 10 kg of body weight and a few centimetres from the waist in 12 weeks, depending on their start and consistency. Results vary.
Fat cannot be spot-reduced, so steady overall fat loss, strength training, sleep and stress control work best. If you have PCOS, thyroid issues or any health condition, speak to your doctor first.
