The recently divorced Blake Shelton sure looks ready to be a bachelor! Have you seen Blake recently? He is no longer the chubby, lovable star we got use to seeing on The Voice. Blake Shelton looks slimmer and more fit than ever before! The country music superstar and “The Voice” host joked recently that getting divorced was the best diet of all time. Blake is motivated to change his life around both mentally and physically – and admitted that the married life caused him to get complacent with this diet and exercise.
What changes has Blake Shelton made with his diet and workout regimen?
We are going to discuss this in detail – and you will be shocked at some of the changes he has made. Post workout ice cream anyone?! With just a few metabolism boosting tricks up his sleeve Blake Shelton was able to go from a chubby country music star to a fit and trim hunk!
Let’s dive into the juicy details so you can learn how he did.
We caught up with Blake’s celebrity diet coach and found out that he was using a few “Metabolism hacks” to speed up his weight loss results. In fact – Blake has reportedly lost 30 lbs. of pure fat and put in 7 lbs of muscle in just 8 weeks!
Blake’s trainer had him taking a powerful all natural weight loss pill 3 times per day for 8 straight weeks to speed up his resting metabolism and fat loss. Another great side effect to these pills were they gave Blake incredible amounts of energy to workout and perform intense resistance training workouts. There are also a few things that Blake eliminated from his diet that were causing him to pack on body fat throughout his marriage.
Let’s take a look at “The Big 3” foods that Blake eliminated from his diet.
- Refined Carbohydrates
Blake had been living on processed carbohydrates for way too long, and his waist line paid the price. Blake was regularly eating cereal, bread, crackers, chips and cookies. These are all “bad carbs” that spike your blood sugar and cause you to store body fat.
- Fried Foods
Blake has a weakness for fried pickles and fried chicken. These foods had to be eliminated for Blake to lose weight quickly and speed up his metabolism.
- Peanut Butter
Blake often channeled his inner kid and enjoyed peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. The problem with consuming a lot of peanut butter is it packs in almost 200 calories per 2 tbsp.! These calories really add up and cause you to pack on a lot of body fat.
Now that we have covered what Blake eliminated from his diet – let’s talk about the fun stuff that Blake added to his diet to speed up his metabolism and weight loss efforts.
Blake Shelton Supercharged Metabolism Check List
- All natural metabolism booster
Blake would take a powerful all natural metabolism booster with breakfast, lunch, and before he worked out early in the evening. This allowed Blake to have a ton of energy and speed up his metabolism around the clock.
- Post Workout frozen Yoghurt
Yes – you heard that right! Directly after resistance training is a golden opportunity to consume sugar and simple carbohydrates because it helps you shuttle the amino acids from the protein into your cells and initiate protein synthesis (the first stage of muscle growth).
The added muscle growth from the simple carbs post workout actually helps you boost your metabolism. Muscle mass helps burn fat and boost your metabolism – explained Blake’s trainer.
If your body is forced to carry around a few extra lbs. of muscle mass, you burn more calories moving around and doing simple activities like going to the store and going to the park for a walk.
- Whole Eggs for Breakfast and Late at night
One of the best ways to lose weight quickly is to boost your anabolic muscle building hormones. Testosterone is the big one of course. Boosting your T levels results in more energy, fat loss, and lean muscle mass. All of this adds up to a fast full body transformation. Your body actually needs cholesterol to produce testosterone – and organic whole eggs are a great source of testosterone boosting cholesterol and high quality protein. Blake would consume 3 whole eggs for breakfast and for a late night snack.
