Bodybuilder reveals extreme fasting and burger diet
Fed up with your New Year’s diet? This pro bodybuilder might have the answer and it includes stacks of burgers, towers of fries and … lots of vegetables.
Fed up of your New Year’s diet? This Instagram foodie might just have the answer to eating the meals of your dreams.
Professional natural body builder Jordon Boddam-Whetham spends weekdays on a strict 22 hours-a-day fast and chows down a big meal at night.
This means a 300g steak, half a kilo of another meat, six whole eggs, a ladle worth of peanut butter, a small bowl of cottage cheese and up to three kilos of vegetables.
“That gives me a lot of room to play with at the weekend,” Boddam-Whethan said.
On Saturday he flexes his competitive eating muscles and hits up burger joints for their enormous food challenges. Think giant milkshakes, towers of fries, stacks of wings and rows of burgers.
Then on Sunday it’s food safari time.
He picks a suburb and visits up to six fast food joints testing out the top picks on their menus.
“It’s the ultimate cheat day,” he said.
“I wouldn’t be surprised if it hit over the 10,000 calorie mark. Because I bought so many calories during the week it doesn’t actually add any fat to the body.
“My body is crying out for it really.”
Boddam-Whetham grew up next to Balmoral Beach and loves testing out the food in the lower north shore, with Johnny Bird in Crows Nest a particular favourite.
His extremist approach to food has won him thousands of Instagram fans under his tradename The Fat Red, where he describes himself as a full time fat ass.
He got into bodybuilding about ten years ago after his lifestyle was going down an unsustainable path with alcohol.
His friend suggested bodybuilding to redirect his energy and when he won his first show.
When he went on to place third in the world, he was hooked.
Last year he started trying a new approach to preparing for shows and gave this new style of eating a go.
“It’s all about looking after your health five days a week and not the other two,” he said.
“It’s an extremist lifestyle.
“I love to be in shape and be healthy and train hard but I also love my food. When I do it I do it. I go all in.”
