My 6 Months Fitness Transformation in Ukrainian Way

My Fitness Transformation

I decided to show my fitness transformation. This is what I looked like before 2021 when my weight was always about 95 kg(209,45 lbs). As you can see, I was bigger but I had some fat. I had a diet like an ordinary Ukrainian. I ate everything in sufficient quantities to maintain muscle mass and strength.

And this is what I look like in 2022. My weight is 80 kg(176,37 lbs). So I have lost 15 kg(33,07 lbs) of weight. I look fitter and I have much less fat. My fitness transformation took about 6 months to get this shape.

What Did I Do to Get This Result?

 I didn't invent anything new. I changed my diet drastically and that had the main impact on my body.  And I changed my workouts a bit.

My Diet

My diet is not super rigid. I can safely afford to eat whatever I want. But I try to stick to the basics of my diet which is plant foods, foods that contain energy. The main rule for me is to eat more natural food. My food is quite simple. I have a very rough estimate of the number of calories that I get from food. I plan to post more and show examples of my meals with photos and explanations.

I also want to say that I am not very selective in food, so it is easy for me to stick to my diet and it is even tasty for me.

I stopped constantly thinking that there is bad food and good food. I try to eat processed food as little as possible but still, I eat it. Yes, I understand that there is more preferable food, the one that nature gives us, and I try to eat this food more. However, my body knows what to do with whatever food I eat. I stopped making food a problem. I enjoy everything I eat.

On weekends for lunch, I eat food according to my new diet, but for dinner, I enjoy whatever my wife cooks. Usually, she cooks Ukrainian traditional food but not only that.

Also, I think I should mention that I do not eat a lot of meat and other animal products, but nevertheless, I eat these foods just enough to satisfy my need, that is, I eat as much of them as I want. Sometimes just a little and sometimes a little more. I would say I listen to my body and it tells me how much and what I want. And I have such food only one time per day, usually when I have my second meal.

Every day I have two meals. I always skip breakfast. The first meal is around 12:00 am and the second is around 6:00 pm. But I do not adhere to this time strictly.

Since the end of my competitive bodybuilding career, I haven't used any supplements at all for many years.

How to Lose Weight? It Can Be Easier and More Natural Than You Think!

In Regard to Workouts

 Before my fitness transformation, I trained with heavy weights, 6-10 reps for a set, and did 1-2 working sets per exercise to muscle failure, sort of like the Dorian Yates training system. For each muscle group 3-4 exercises. I trained for progress in strength and mass.

Now, I only workout to keep up my fitness body shape, although I can make some small gains in strength. I usually do 4 sets per exercise and work with weights that allow me to do 10-15 reps and I don't go to muscle failure. For each muscle group 2-3 exercises. I get a good muscle pump. I don't get tired in training. I just enjoy these workouts.

The True Story of the Mysterious Case with Craig Titus and Kelly Ryan with Documentary

In the United States, there is still great interest in the case involving Craig Titus and Kelly Ryan. In fact, the interest in the case appears to be increasing rather than decreasing. A book titled "The Flame in the Desert: The True Story of the Mysterious Case of Craig Titus and Kelly Ryan," written by Glenn Puitom, has recently been released and is being sold in bookstores throughout the country. It is worth noting that the author treated the bodybuilding community, as well as Craig and Kelly, with a high degree of respect. When writing the book, he did not base his conclusions on rumors, speculation, or other unverified information. Instead, he relied solely on police reports and analyzed their conclusions and assumptions. It is also worth mentioning that the author has a legal education. Based on the book's sales volumes, it appears to be becoming a bestseller in the United States and in other countries. A quick review of the case. In December 2005, a police patrol ...

Dorian Yates 'Less is better!'

There has been much debate and many "spears broken" among theorists regarding the frequency of training in bodybuilding. However, my point of view has the advantage of being proven in practice. Once, when I wanted to know how often I needed to go to the gym, I looked at the blisters on my own hands and found the answer. As we know, the skin on your hands becomes rough when you regularly lift weights. Blisters form as a protective reaction of the skin, but if you overexert your hands with a barbell every day, your skin can't withstand it and may turn into bleeding wounds. Therefore, your skin needs rest, and during that time, it can repair the damaged areas.

Does Exercise Kill Parasites? Separating Fact from Fiction

 In the realm of health and wellness, exercise stands as a formidable ally. But does exercise have the ability to kill parasites? In this blog post, I will explore the connection between exercise and parasitic infections. While exercise undoubtedly benefits overall health, it's crucial to understand that exercise alone cannot eradicate parasites. Targeted medical treatments, prescribed by healthcare professionals, are the most effective means to eliminate specific parasites from the body. However, exercise does play a pivotal role in bolstering overall health and strengthening the immune system. Regular physical activity enhances immune response, curbs inflammation, and bolsters the body's defense mechanisms. A robust immune system empowered by exercise may aid in preventing or mitigating parasitic infections. While exercise is not a standalone remedy, integrating healthy lifestyle practices can complement medical treatments and reduce the risk of reinfection. Here are some add...
