YOR BEST BODY

Week 1 – 8 Diet plan

My diet was very strict to say the least, high protein low low carb. I found this very difficult to adjust to in the first few days (Potatoes are a staple in every Irish persons diet), however it became easier once I established a routine. Nice early start 5.30am (4 egg 1 yoke omelette) this was simple and quick to make so I didn’t venture too far from this for 8 weeks. The more I understood about the food I could eat and how it fuelled my body, the easier my choices became, there was a lot of white fish & chicken cooked in foil on the BBQ with coconut oil, chilli, ginger and garlic (delicious). Another favourite is “oven egg” crack an egg (2 eggs 1 yoke) into a ramekin and throw in some rosemary, onion and chilli, bake in the oven for 25 mins (delicious) J so easy to cook and great after a workout. My snack of choice is Almonds, I also stopped taking milk and sugar in coffee which I find quite nice now.

The diet plan would not have been so successful without my supplement, the Super greens and fibre gave me the extra boot of energy I needed to maintain a good standard of performance during my workouts. During the first 2 weeks I really noticed the difference in my muscle recovery time which enabled me to push myself further.

Week 1 – 8 : YOR Health Plan: I opted for the Green “YOR Health” Plan
Per day:
- Ultra Digest x 3 – (1 x morning, noon, evening)
- Multi Vitamin x 6 – (2 x morning, noon, evening)
- Super Greens x 1 morning
- Fibre x 1 morning
- Probiotic x 1 morning
- Recovery x 1 evening
- Krill Fish oil x 2 – (1 morning & evening)

The exercise plan:

I have an awesome personal trainer Kara Mowbray of (Elite Performance Personal Training Brisbane), she set out an excellent training plan for the 8 weeks. We met initially 3 days a week Tuesday (evening), Thursday (evening) and Saturday (mornings) for a 45 minute session, working arms, shoulders, core, and legs finishing off with some intense cardio. As the sessions ramped up over the 8 weeks I could feel myself getting physically fitter, my recovery time is getting shorter and my intervals are increasing. (Faster time + shorter recover time = more reps) Also after most sessions I take my dogs for a 3-5km walk, in most cases after my PT sessions I have the arms of a T-Rex, best feeling ever, you know you’ve done a great work out when your arms feel detached from your body. On my off days I would do some extras, a circuit of core, arms and cardio, I’ve become very fond of skipping and mastered the double skips, burpies and cardio intervals. If I can take anything out of this experience is will have to be a much healthier and fitter me, also a total new appreciation food.


There is nothing more satisfying than getting recognition from others on how much I’ve transformed and how my change is motivating them to make a change. They've all asked me what my secret is ? Simple – Clean eating and exercise (Not really what they wanted to hear). This has been an awesome experience and amazing achievement of self-discipline, it’s crazy what you can achieve when you put your mind to it ?
