Bill PhillipsBody for life is a 12 week diet and exercise programme as well as an annual physique transformation competition. It was created by Bill Phillips, a former competitive body builder and owner of EAS, who manufacture nutritional supplements. The first annual BFL competition was held in 1996.

Entrants were to write about their experiences of the programme and send them to EAS, along with before and after photos.

The original prize money was 1 million dollars. Twelve years on and the number of people who have completed BFL is over 2 million.

Alan Strachan is one of the few Personal Trainers in Scotland who is certified from EAS to train people with the BFL programme.

Alan was featured in 2005 in one of the UK's leading fitness magazines 'ultrafit' where he was interviewed about the benefits of the BFL programme.

Alan has always said "In all the years I have trained personally myself, I have never seen such fantastic results so quickly in any individual when they do the BFL programme. It's amazing!".

How Does it Work?

The need for change
You recognise that you want to change, whether you want to lose weight, improve your overall fitness or increase your energy levels. Body for Life helps you focus this into clear goals that will help motivate you through the next 12 weeks.

Change your eating habits
Research has shown that for active people, eating small, frequent meals helps accelerate their metabolism and burn fat. Each meal should contain a balanced portion of lean protein and complex carbohydrates. This will help fuel your excersise regime and maintain energy levels.

Aim for 6 small meals a day.

Whenever possible plan our meals to ensure you are making the right nutritional choices.

Aim for 40/30/30 ratio of protein/carbohydrate/fat each meal.

Space your meals so you are eating about every 3 hours

If time is tight, don't just grab the nearest high fat or sugary snack to satisfy hunger: instead opt for a balanced meal replacement or drink.

Choose appropriate portion sizes: as a general rule the protein portion of your meal should be approximately the size of your flat palm (excluding fingers), the carbohydrate portion the size of your clenched fist.

Incorporate plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables in your diet.

Drink plenty of water. It's important to stay hydrated when your following an exercise programme.

Follow this careful nutrition plan 6 days a week and take a day off on the 7th - eat pretty much what you want!
