Where he started

Mihail had a problem with food, and he is blunt about what that looked like. Two or three chocolate bars a day. Bags of chips. Cookies. Two to three litres of Coca-Cola. He could not tie his shoes without getting dizzy.

The turning point

A visit to the doctor. Mihail walked out of that appointment and decided he was going to change how he ate and how he trained, starting immediately. That was the beginning of the two years that follow.

What he changed

The first year was a full body workout three times a week. The second year he moved to a two-day push and pull split.

Food followed the same pattern of starting broad and narrowing. Year one was a standard bodybuilding approach, six meals a day. Year two he moved to keto.

What he kept in the rotation

The hardest part

Avoiding sweets, which had been the centre of how he ate.

He is also clear about his biggest mistake, and it is worth reading if you are about to start: for the first nine months he ran an enormous deficit, somewhere around 1,000 to 1,200 calories a day. He does not recommend it.

Where he is now

He could see his abs within the first six months, and two years in he says he looks and feels completely different.

Building muscle and burning fat are slow processes. Mihail Karamihov

His advice if you are starting today

Get off the couch and do something for your health.

great job, docs are quick to prescribe anything other than diet and exercise, and if they do they usually weigh 300 lbs while they tell you to eat healthier.
