The bulk part of the diet saw Hugh Jackman eating 5000 calories a day and training for up to 3 hours, but the cut side of the diet (which I will be undertaking) is what Hugh did in the months leading up to filming 'The Wolverine' in order to get seriously ripped.
Also Hugh's trainer introduced Intermittent Fasting into the fold, which saw Hugh only eating between 9am and 5pm, leaving himself fasting for 16 hours, resulting in his body becoming a fat burning machine.
I've decided to give this diet a good go and see what kind of results I can get in a month of struggling to chow down on just chicken and broccoli, and the occasional weetabix in the morning as a pre gym meal.
Initially I expect to drop a lot of weight in the first week due to the lack of carbs and a substantial drop in water weight. But I will of course be recording my results week by week and sharing my results.
My Diet For The Next Month
9-00am - 5 Weetabix with 250ml MilkPost Workout - 60g Whey Protein
13-00pm - 200g chicken, 150g Broccoli
15-00pm - 30g Whey Protein
16-45pm - 200g Chicken, 150g Broccoli
Training
Training during these 4 weeks are going to stay the same as what I've been doing for the last few weeks.Monday - Chest & Triceps
Tuesday - Back & Biceps
Wednesday - Legs & Shoulders
Then the same days repeated in that order and Sunday is a rest day.
I'm interested to see just how much a calorie restricted diet such as the wolverine diet has on my training, I'm just going to have to leave my ego at the door and take it day by day.
From experience of a low carb diet, I know my body will be screaming for energy during heavy compound lifts, So i may have to go slightly lighter, but i will evaluate this as the time comes.
Check back weekly for updates and results and see just what this diet could do for you.
