Body for life transformation challenge
Magazine publisher and supplements company owner Bill Phillips was the author of “Body for Life: 12 Weeks to Mental and Physical Strength”.
This work of his was published in the mid 90’s. He has been a bodybuilder for long and in the course of his career, he has also published a magazine that talks about bodybuilding and has made his own company that sells supplements.
His vision was to reach out to the masses about bodybuilding programs.
The programs with diet specifications include sticking to six meals, but small ones, and spread out through the course of a day.
The nutrients should include lean proteins, good carbohydrates, and a good balance in general. It is necessary to follow this type of a pattern because this accelerates the body’s metabolism rate.
Also, one never feels too hungry in any part of the day in this way. The other part of the program talks about the exercise required to be coupled with good diet habits. Working out six days of a week is ideal and one can alternate between doing weights and high intensity cardio routines.
It is important to have a high intensity exercise regimen, says Phillips. Interval training for long-distance runs, and high intensity (but shorter) reps with weight training are recommended.
Phillip’s challenge for weight loss photographs (the after and before) have created controversies and many are said to believe that it is practically impossible for such a transformation to occur in a period of only twelve weeks.
The good side:
The program does not have a complex philosophy. The steps are solid and focus mainly only eating right and exercising properly. There cannot be a doubt in the results; you are sure to feel fitter and healthier, and your body is sure to begin to shape up.
The bad side:
Each and every one of us may or may not be able to lose weight so drastically. The before and after pictures could well be for real, but that may be due to the muscle memory of certain people. People who gain weight quickly can also lose it equally quickly. Therefore, this plan may set unrealistic explanations for users.
There is no doubt that Phillips was sure about his claims. His plan is scientifically sound and solid. It was his endeavour to help people understand their body and its potential through an all or nothing principle for losing weight.
