BodyPlanet: Training - competition preparation and nutritional advice
Dear Tamer,
It's 9:20 p.m. Monday evening and I'm sitting here with a glass of red wine and writing down my meal list for the day. Today we had 2 delicious muesli with fruit, corn flakes, yoghurt, pumpkin seeds and flaxseed, a snack with wholemeal roll, ham, cheese and a mixed salad at lunchtime and tonight turkey steaks with vegetables, onions, mushrooms - in between a tasty caramel protein drink ( why didn't we try it earlier?) Day 295 is today – 295 days since we got to know you.......
I weigh 87.4 kg and have 12.8% (11.2 kg) body fat. Why am I writing this to you???? You know our data - of course...... I would rather like to encourage all those who are dissatisfied with their weight and maybe sometimes have self-doubt because many diets have not been successful for them...... that's how it was for us......

At the age of 20 I broke the "sound barrier" for the first time to the 0.1 ton truck.... my weight slowly but steadily increased to 118.5 kg - that was for the last time in April at the age of 34..... my wife Claudia went it's similar….. so we wanted to change something……. with sport and a semi-living kind of food combining……
We had already heard about you from a friend, and I surfed by your homepage ——– although in the past I had met some bodybuilders who I – well, I will put it mildly – were very suspicious to me…… ….. so keep calm – how could such a well-trained muscle mountain be able to understand or advise me – he has no idea about my problems…..
But somehow we couldn't get the whole thing out of our heads... we talked to friends about it and the final impulse to make an appointment with you was our friend Lazlo, who said to me: "Guido, if he doesn't understand you, he has the wrong person Job – and would you trust someone who has shape problems themselves????” Well – there’s something to it… we’ll call you……
We were with you for the first time on June 26th, 2006 and we were immediately impressed by your level-headedness and expertise... I weighed 114.2 kg and 27.9% body fat (or more clearly 31.9 kg pure fat), Claudia was with me 99.3 kg and 41.7% body fat (41.4 kg) no better...... in the meantime, Claudi has "reduced" 23.8 kg of pure body fat and left me mercilessly with my 20.7 kg reduced body fat.......
(and this one exactly 1 year later)
Claudi no longer has migraines, I no longer have any stomach problems or heartburn, which used to bother me in stressful situations. Our blood levels are great, we like to go jogging and cycling because it just runs easy and - the absolute hottest thing - we can buy all the clothes we like......
We are so grateful to you and also to our friend Marita and Lazlo for this that - quite honestly - we just don't have the words...
Unfortunately, we can't find any really meaningful "before" photos, since we are shown sitting on most of them. However, I think the success can already be guessed from the two pictures above... I would also be happy to enclose my meal list...
