I’ve been done with the Xtreme Fat Loss Diet for over 2 weeks now, but I’m just now getting around to showing you the final results of my 25 day fat loss journey.

Let me back up a little bit to the end of February so I can share a story with you.  Back on February 27 I was working out with some of my bootcamp members on a Saturday morning on a track at SMU.  In usual Scott Colby fashion, it was an intense workout.  But this time, the workout got the better of me.

Towards the end of the workout, I felt really light headed to the point where I had to kneel down and stop exercising.  I was told by the other exercisers that I looked really pale.  After drinking some water and sitting for a few minutes, I still wasn’t feeling much better, so we played it on the safe side and called the paramedics.

Here are some pictures…

The paramedics took my heart rate, my blood pressure and even my blood sugar (ouch – I hate needles).

(By the way, I never told my mom what happened because I didn’t want to worry her, so I hope she’s not reading this)

Fortunately everything checked out OK and I started to feel better after I drank some juice and had some breakfast.  It turned out that I was dehydrated and since I hadn’t eaten since the previous evening at 7:30, I was probably lacking some nutrients.  Thanks to the paramedics and bootcamp members who took great care of me.

Even though I felt better, after that day, a strange thing happened – everytime I worked out, I felt light headed….or I imagined I was feeling light headed.  I’m not sure which it was – I think I was imagining it.  I think it was something mentally that was holding me back. But I wasn’t sure how to overcome it.

I even went to my doctor to get an EKG done, just to make sure my heart was OK.  The tests came out fine, so that was good news.  But the bottomline was that from late February to the beginning of May, I didn’t work out much because I was worried the same thing was going to happen again.  And when I don’t workout much, my eating tends to suffer and I gained some fat.

All this was happening as I was planning my move to Colorado, so that didn’t help.

Now fast forward to the beginning of May after I made the move to Colorado.  That’s when Joel Marion’s Xtreme Fat Loss Diet program came out and I decided to buckle down and follow the 25 day fat loss program as closely as possible.  I decided to take pictures every 5 days as a measure of progress.  I knew the number on the scale wouldn’t mean much and in home measures of bodyfat percentage are inaccurate.  So in my opinion, pictures are the best measure of progress.

If you don’t know anything about the program, it is pretty intense.  It consists of a 5 day diet that you repeat for 5 cycles.  There’s a cheat day, a fast day and shake day, a moderate carb day and a protein only day.  It comes with a complete workout program as well, totaling 50 workouts in 25 days.  I ended up doing 47 workouts, so not too bad.

To be honest, I didn’t like the fast day or the shake day – those days were a bit too strict for me.  But I did like that each day was something different; which made it feel like a series of 1 day diets.  This made it super easy to focus because you knew the next day was going to be completely different.

And while I didn’t enjoy the strictness of some of the days, I did enjoy the results.  I can’t believe how much my body changed in just 25 days (pictures are below).  And even better news – I got through the workouts without feeling lightheaded, so I’m back to doing all of my intense workouts!

Pictures: The first picture that you see on here was taken the morning of May 11 (I started the diet on May 10).  You can see how out of shape I had gotten from not doing much for 2 1/2 months.  The second picture was taken May 25 – exactly 2 weeks later.  The 3rd picture was taken on Day 26 – June 4, 2010 – the day after finishing the program.

Thanks for reading my story,

Scott
