Primary Blog/How One Man Lost 8.4kg in 5 Days With Fasting and Focus

Discover how James lost 8.4kg in 5 days using fasting, structure, and mindset. Learn why action—not information—is the key to rapid weight loss.

If you had to lose 8.4 kilograms… and had to give yourself a deadline… how long would it take you?
A month? Six weeks? Maybe more?

In the health and fitness world, the safe and standard weight loss pace is 1–2kg per week. That’s the industry norm—and for good reason. It’s sustainable. It’s measurable. It doesn’t tank your energy or performance.

But last year, something remarkable happened.

One of my clients—James, an outdoor educator and father of two—lost 8.4 kilograms in just 5 days during our 5-Day Fasting Challenge.

No fat burners. No insane cardio. No starvation.
Just a structured approach to biohacking, fasting, and movement.

And here’s the kicker…
I’ve been coaching men for two decades, and I’ve never seen anything like this.

Meet James: Stuck, Tired, and Carrying the Weight

Before the challenge, James was at his heaviest weight in years.
Life had gotten busy—work, study, family.
He was aware that something needed to change… but like so many men, he had no support, no plan, and no clear direction.

​Sound familiar?
It’s the classic pattern:

  • “I know what to do, I just need to do it.”
  • “I’m too busy.”
  • “I’ll start Monday.”

Excuses that sound logical—until you imagine telling your kids those same excuses from a hospital bed.

So What Changed?

James took action.
He joined the challenge.
He followed the plan.
He fasted. He moved. He showed up.

And the result?
8.4kg in 5 days.
10kg in 10 days.

The Hard Truth About Change

Let me be blunt.

Information doesn’t change your life.
ACTION does.


We live in a world where you can Google anything.
But most men are still stuck, fat, tired, and unmotivated.

Books won’t save you.
Motivational speeches won’t make you leaner.
Knowing what to do means nothing unless you do it.

James acted.
​Most won’t.

Or…

Scroll on.
Tell yourself you'll “start next week.”
Stay tired, uncomfortable, and carrying weight that drags you down.

Act.
