He's been allowed to train. I think the bigger issue is that he's just eating far too much. The team would need to hire a PI to stop him from downing bags of Cheetos late at night.
Eating more than your daily need puts weight on. If you want to build muscle and strength, you have to eat more than you burn. 1lb of fat is the same weight as 1lb of muscle, it just looks different and is more functional for pro athletes.
It's probably not even junk food. He's likely just got a very high calorie diet at this point, one which he was encouraged to eat from high school and through college. When you eat 3 big meals a day and your activity level drops you will maintain or increase even a very high weight. At that point snacks become part of the problem but the main driver is the steak and eggs for breakfast, the hamburgers or big sub at lunch and then the full meal at dinner. To get a handle on that he's going to need to start eating fruit and yogurt for breakfast, a salad and some nuts at lunch and then a healthy filling meal at dinner. He can drink coffee with milk in the morning to get his energy levels up and then fructose-based drinks in the middle of the day to keep it going but by the evening he's going to have to be on water, seltzer or if he has too diet soda to stabilize his sugar levels and get him the sleep he needs at a healthy hour. Pick a couple of days a week and designate them pace setters and have a good omelette and maybe 3 strips of bacon for breakfast, his sandwich, whatever that is for lunch and a steak or pork chops at night. Ideally you don't do that regime all in the same day. This gives you maybe 6 days a week where you have that filling moment that he probably feels 3 times a day now. The guy he really should talk to is D'Brickashaw Ferguson. D'Brick had a very high metabolism however that was at least in part because he had control of his diet and he had that control from high school onwards.
5'10, 205. My ideal weight is 175 but I haven't been there since 35. Stopped running 4-5x a week because of shin splints and the weight slowly started adding on. It's been stable at 200-210 for 20 years now. I diet-binged myself down to 190 a couple of times over that span but became convinced the binges were worse than just carrying the weight. My idea of a diet binge is 90 days eating nothing but yogurt, fruit for breakfast, no lunch and then fish and string beans for dinner. Takes my blood sugar and A1C into the basement and drops 20 pounds in the process. It's a crappy diet to maintain though and it breaks down in the winter when metabolism shifts into high gear to meet the endothermic demands.
So your normal weight is 205, and if you crash diet for 90 days, you only get down to 190?? Hmm! I was like 185 all through my prime. Now I'm about 210, but I assumed getting down to 190-195 wouldn't be that hard if I wanted it. But maybe I'm wrong. That diet doesn't sound too fun. No alcohol?
Yeah, just like a ton of lead weighs more than a ton of feathers, lol. I know what you are trying to say, but what you wrote makes no sense. You want to compare the same mass of fat and muscle and then you can conclude that muscle weighs more than the same amount of fat.
I do only as much exercise as is absolutely required. At work that's a lot of walking around. At home I am seated or lying down like 80% of the time. I know my flaws. The diet is fine if you like yogurt and fish both of which I do although not usually to exclusion. The string beans are because you have to have some roughage or things get dicey. Edit: and soy sauce makes string beans a lot more tasty. I use a lot of low sodium soy sauce when I am on that diet.
What I don't understand is why do we never hear how the new five star medical unit has approached the Becton situation. It was touted as an all-encompassing holistic approach regarding diet, training, conditioning, preventive medicine, etc. At least that's what the media package was all about. I think if it was as big a deal as they made it out to be JB Smoove would have been an integral part of its rollout.
they’ve been real quiet about Becton in general. They won’t let the media talk to him and give non-answers about him when asked
Can tell a guy how to eat right all day, it's down to him to ultimately do it. Apparently Becton's been working with a nutritionist since training camp anyway. Doesn't seem to be working all that well.
