A Balanced Diet and Simple Workout Plan Helped Me Build Muscle and Get Ripped "I’ve never had to alternate between bulking and cutting — I just trained hard" 27/01/2021 If there’s one thing that’s motivated me to become as fit and healthy as possible, it’s my children. I’m a father to two 8-year-old twin girls — having them has been a huge motivator for me to work hard and be an inspiration for them. My first try at getting healthy was a bit of a misfire. I’m 6’1” and was fairly skinny. After seeing a Netflix documentary about the keto diet, I decided to try it. Keto had me, obviously, completely cutting out carbs. My weight dropped right down to 145lbs. I felt extremely ill and lethargic, I actually ended up passing out hitting my head on the bathroom sink.
