   The results of my first week on my new diet and supplement regimen were nothing short of amazing. My body took on a whole new look. I was seven pounds lighter and looked ten pounds bigger. I felt great. Something was happening that I'd read about with other Beverly clients but had never seen before. I was losing body fat and getting stronger at the same time. I stayed on this diet for twelve weeks. During this time my body fat went from twelve percent to seven percent and my strength and lean mass continued to increase throughout the entire three-month period.

Before: Roger said, "You'll need to lose 14 pounds of fat to be ripped to shreds - that's about a pound a week."
After: In just one week I was seven pounds lighter and looked ten pounds bigger. At one week out, I'd lost exactly 14 pounds.


  My precontest diet started on June 1st - 12 Weeks Out I weighed 212 pounds at seven percent body fat. Roger emailed me my new diet, which consisted of a two-week cutting phase and a one-week bulking phase. My instructions were to follow this for two cycles and that would put me at seven weeks out from my first contest. Six weeks later the results from these two cycles of dieting were fabulous. I didn't experience the cravings that I'd had while dieting in the past. Not only did I look and feel great but also I was able to maintain all my strength in the gym. This was another first for me. My girlfriend even learned to cook using many of Beverly's products. I found myself having muffins, pancakes and even ice cream. Wow, I felt like I was cheating but all the goodies were made 100 percent from Beverly products.

   At 7 Weeks out I once again emailed photos and stats and received a prompt response with a new diet and supplement plan. I was right on track and the new diet would take me to three weeks out. This time the diet got a little tougher. Roger suggested that I make the change from training four days a week to five to help with fat loss. At first I was a little reluctant to change but at this point everything he had suggested had worked great, so with some resistance I made the change. The changes definitely paid off. Body fat seemed to be just melting away once again. Something else I should add is that up to this point I had included no cardio in my training. With that in mind, by the time I was four weeks out, I was already in better condition than I had ever attained. From this point on, I took no body fat measurements and just used pictures and the mirror to assess my progress.

   Three weeks out my diet was changed for the final time. The change in my body within one week was nothing short of amazing. The change was so profound that complete strangers would come up to me in the gym and ask me what in the world have I been doing to make such a great difference. I simply answer with my Beverly International speech and give them the web address.

   Competition. My first show was the Maryland State Bodybuilding Championships. I was treating this show as a warm up for the NABBA Nationals that would take place two weeks later. I figured that I could fine-tune my last week prep with this show so I could look my best for the Nationals. As it turned out this was a good choice. I made the mistake of cutting my sodium too soon and went into the show very flat. My bodyweight dropped from 203 pounds on Wednesday to 190 at the show. Consequently I placed sixth among fifteen of the toughest light heavies I've ever seen in a state level show.

   As per Roger's instructions I ate like a pig for about twelve hours after the show. By Sunday afternoon I was back on my diet. After the state show Roger suggested that I avoid making any sudden changes in my diet leading up to the next show. This time, rather than drastically cutting sodium before the show, we decided to keep sodium levels stable as the show approached. I cut down on my normal intake by eliminating condiments and diet drinks, but made no drastic reductions. This resulted in a tremendous change. My bodyweight stayed at 203 pounds but my body looked harder and more vascular than ever. I was retaining virtually no water.

   For the NABBA Nationals, I just stayed on my diet, until the final three days when I switched my protein sources to red meat exclusively, and doubled my Ultra 40 and Muscularity intake with each meal. Wow! What a difference it made! Aside from those minor changes I drank two glasses of wine the night prior to the show and woke up looking great. My muscles were so hard and full I barely had to pump up prior to going on stage.

“As my diet progressed I was getting stopped by complete strangers in the gym and questioned about what I was doing to promote such a noticeable change so quickly. I would simply answer with my Beverly International speech and give them the web address.”

   At the night show as the top five competitors waited back stage for awards, the suspense was overwhelming. I was standing in a group of five of the best athletes in the nation, who were all in fabulous shape. As they called out the 5th through 3rd place I held my breath. Then with a very close decision I was announced 2nd. Even though I didn't get first I was very proud of my accomplishment. After all 2nd place in my first national level show was something to be proud of.

   The story continues... I have now begun preparing for next year's contest season, which will hopefully take me to the Mr. Universe in Europe. I am confident that with Beverly International in my corner (and in my kitchen cabinet and gym bag) I will be able to turn all my bodybuilding dreams into reality.
