Meet the Manny

ketosis-diet

Today I am shouting out my little brother. He is seriously amazing! I mean who looks like this? So this young man is my manny/photographer/personal grocery shopper and nutritionist he is also Hudson’s personal trainer. Hudson wakes up in the morning with him and does ab workouts on Youtube (he is the one that introduced 8 min abs to me).

Anyways I am so inspired by my brother. He goes to BYU full time and still looks like this. I see no signs of the Freshman 15 going on here. I am looking forward to trying out his diet this summer when I am going to try to lose about 30 lbs. (my average weight gain when I am pregnant)

He introduced the Ketosis diet to me, it is what he does to get super ripped, hence the pic and the 20-pack.

*my brother was forced/bribed and made to do this pic. b/c I have always been obsessed with his abs from the time he was little. We would always compare abs, he would obviously always have a way nicer tummy, but now I have a pic:) if you haven’t noticed I love my little brothers and making them do crazy things. ie purple shampoo canidate, cutting off my brothers mullet he had been growing out since before Hudson was born, and now take a pic of my other brothers abs lol

The Ketosis diet is a low carb diet he aims for 100g of carbs a day 80% protein and fats and 20% carbs, that includes sugars-even BBQ sauce, milk and yogurt have tons of hidden carbs.

Why my brother started to do this diet is because on his 2 year LDS mission he gained over 50 lbs and started getting stretch marks. He found out about this diet and he says he has never felt better and never had a diet work so drastically while getting the results he was looking for.

An average daily meal plan:

First off My brother wants to say that diet is way more important than exercise. You are what you eat!

16 oz. of water right when you wake up

breakfast: 3-4 eggs w/ wheat toast

mid morning snack: 30 grams whey protein mixed w/ water or skim milk

lunch: 4-6oz of chicken with seasoning not sauces(salt, pepper, garlic) and veggies(a bag of veggies assortment)

afternoon snack: handful of peanuts, beef jerky, cottage cheese, nonfat, low-fat greek yogurt, protein shake

dinner: any type of meat with a 1/4th cup of wheat rice

*don’t eat 3 hrs before bed

*drink a gallon of water a day

*if you have to have a post dinner snack do a whey protein shake

*you want to be eating every 2-3 hrs to keep the metabolism going

*30 mins of cardio a day will get you added results (he recommends Insanity

He recommends to get the Hip-Hop Ab CDs
