A British man has taken his 12 week transformation to a whole new level, leaving his desk job to spend all his time in the gym.
Lloyd Stevens is now a personal trainer and will soon compete in his first body building competition.
His office life as a tech specialist left him with little time for exercise, and five years on from a promotion – with corporate lunches subtly and slowly packing on the kilos – Stevens decided to turn is weight (and life) around.
“It wasn’t until I saw a picture of myself on holiday that I really saw how bad it had gotten,” he told The Daily Star.
After sticking to a strict diet and exercise regime, Stevens emerged with a trim and ripped physique almost unrecognisable to his former self.

“I know it’s a cliché, but my whole transformation has been like a hurricane. It’s had lots of ups and down but right now I’m most certainly on a high,” he told The Star.
“I think one of the most defining moments for me was when I entered an online physique competition and walked away with the title.
“It’s also had a positive affect on my social life too.
“I met my girlfriend through training and it’s great to be with someone who shares my passion for training.”
Steven’s now works as a personal trainer at Ultimate Performance City and trains Bollywood star Ranveer Singh.
The 35-year-old recently posted an image of his transformation on instagram with his pre-transformation body on the left, and post-transformation on the right with the caption:
“People ask what keeps me motivated to keep training and eating for my goals …. the answer is simple …. I keep looking at my picture on the left.”
Stevens revealed his exercise and diet regimes to The Star which are summarised below.
Exercise regime
Stevens does 30 minutes of cardio, before doing weights on different body areas.
Monday: quads and calves
Tuesday: chest and triceps
Wednesday: rest
Thursday: back and biceps
Friday: hamstrings and abdominals
Saturday: shoulders and calves
Sunday: rest
Daily diet
“This is my current diet for my particular goals. This works for me but may not necessarily work for everyone because everyone reacts to different types of training and nutrition plans differently,” Stevens told the Daily Star, claiming he sticks to a regular diet “90 per cent of the time.”
Breakfast : Eggs, smoked salmon, oats and a kiwi fruit, with a greens drink.
Meal two: Sweet potato, avocado, chicken breast and green veg
Meal three: Rice, fish, boiled egg and green veg
Meal four: Sweet potato, avocado, chicken breast and green veg
Meal five: Rice, steak and green veg
Dinner: Omelette with green veg
“This may seem like a lot of food but it what it takes to maintain a bodybuilders physique,” said Stevens.
