9 STUNNING CELEBRITY BODY TRANSFORMATIONS FOR THE GUYS!

Celebrities! We love to hate them, and with good reason too! They are famous, well paid, pampered and often good looking. These people have the world at their feet and everything going for them. Now you have one more reason to hate them; they are often in great shape. However before you turn totally green with envy, there is something about these guys on display today. They have all worked incredibly hard to get the great physiques they have built today. If money and wishes could buy you a six pack, I would have a dozen by now! Since that isn’t going to happen you will have to build the body of your dreams the old fashioned way, with plenty of sweat and tears!

To help you along the way I have outlined these fit elite; 9 celebs all guys who take fitness and training to the next level. If you can study their methods and madness and apply it to your workout the sky is the limit. Now before you shrug and say “I don’t work out” still check out their stories, they just might inspire you to get off your lazy ass and find that lost mojo! I would have loved to do a Naija fittest celebrity dozen, but info is so scarce and our celebs so lazy that it will have to wait for another day.  Hope you enjoy this and happy reading this and do have a lovely day!

1.       CHRISTIAN BALE

What he did:

Star of Batman and other great movies, he brings intensity to all his roles. After dropping over 25kg for his role in the machinist (mostly through a diet of apples and coffee!),   Bale had to bulk up from 60kg to 100kg for his role in Batman. Incredibly he became too muscular for the role and had to drop 10kg to fit into the bat suit! He achieved this massive gain in just 5 months by feeding on mostly protein; chicken and turkey and by eating every 3 hours throughout day! His workout regime included squats, bench press and shoulder presses. He also included squat jumps for explosive power. On his motivation Bale say’s “you just can’t pull it off until you become a beast in the suit”.

LOST YOUR MOJO IN BED? THEN YOU NEED TO RAISE YOUR TESTOSTERONE LEVELS!

I was inspired to write this piece by a friend of mine, let’s call him LD. LD is having serious issues rocking his marriage. To put it bluntly, he has lost interest in sex and now makes up excuses to dodge his wife! Talk about reversed roles! It has gotten so bad that he came to me for help, now I am not the world’s greatest authority but I love a good challenge and I got to work. Let’s just say, things are now looking up in his life (pun intended!) I got so tripped by this I decided to write about this issue that is fast spreading amongst guys but no one really wants to talk about. Hope you find it educative, and if you don’t need the advice, I am willing to bet you do know someone who needs it. So pass it on!

OMEGA 3 FISH OIL: IT WILL PROLONG YOUR LIFE !

Recently the noise makers in the health industry have been bombarding us with all this information about good fat versus bad fat, sometimes it just gets so confusing that you don’t know what is what. Today they are harping about fat being the enemy, the next they tout the health benefits of consuming fat in your diet.

Until a few months ago I was as confused as the next guy. So I did some digging around and I discovered the wonderful health benefits of omega 3 fatty acids which is most popularly found as omega 3 fish oil. I know you are wondering if fish oil is all it’s cracked up to be and the short of it is yes! If you are not getting your daily dose of omega 3 by eating oily sea fish e.g. mackerel (Titus to you in Naija!) then you had better start now and if you can’t stand the taste of fish, start taking supplements.

FOODS THAT RAISE BAD CHOLESTEROL

Sequel to my last post on cholesterol, i have decided to write on the foods that raise your levels of “bad” cholesterol (LDL).  With this list you will be able to make informed choices about what foods to eat and foods you should avoid. Let this list be a rough guide to your nutrition when it comes to cholesterol control. It is by no means exhaustive and if you know any foods I have omitted, I would be grateful for the feedback.

Thanks, and do have a wonderful day.

1.       Egg Yolk:

The yolk of egg has the most cholesterol of any food with 1234mg per 100gram serving or 411% of the recommended daily value. A single egg yolk will provide 210mg (70%) of daily value of cholesterol, while a whole egg provides slightly more with 212mg (71%). Thus all the cholesterol in egg is in the yolk. Hence my advice to you is to avoid egg yolk as much as possible.
