I met @bryan_johnson on an island & ATE like him for 5 Days
The unexpected gains shocked me🧵
• Weight: 64.5 → 63.7 kg
• Skeletal Muscle Mass: 30.3 → 31.0 kg
• Percentage Body Fat: 16.7 → 13.8%
☘️ Context:
• Joined @thenetworkstate school & ate BJs Blueprint Meals for 5 days
• Daily NS Burn Workout (Weights + Cardio)
• Additional Resistance Training
• I’m an Ectomorph (Gold medal at losing weight & being skinny)
🥗 Blueprint Meals: Meals designed by @bryan_johnson (it’s open source).
We had stuff like:
Blood Orange + Fennels
Buddah Bowl
Nutty Pudding
Super Veggie
Chicken Breast for meat heads like me
📚Network School: by @balajis ft 150 ppl on an island learning & eating blueprint tgt so it’s fun :)
🏃♂️Typical Day:
6am - Wake up & watch sunrise
7am - BURN workout consisting of HIIT style workouts
8am - Additional resistance training
9am - normal Breakfast (eggs & carbs)
10am to 6pm - Fast / Starve
7pm - Blueprint dinner
Note:
• First 2 days Had blueprint lunch
• Next 3 days had Non blueprint bfast + no lunch, then dinner
• For the blueprint dinner, I would eat a minimum of 2 packs per dinner including additional chicken breast. Occasionally 3. On Monday we had a buffet… Went crazy on that.
🔍 My Findings:
• Food tastes good. Yummy with olive oil. Can get boring.
• My 💩 became a snake. Became hard & firm.
• Having non blueprint food after 2 days of blueprint only, instantly upset my stomach 🤯
• Feeling more sore than usual. I assume due to less calories + protein than normal
• 1 hour after a Blueprint meal, I’d feel hungry again
• More concentration + felt good
• Pictures of normal food = massive cravings
Fun Fact: @bryan_johnson said “after eating blueprint, your body treats everything else like it’s toxic”
I felt this big time. 👆
InBody 770 Analysis: my results after the 5 days at a 98.4% accuracy body comp machine.
💪 Full Results:
• Weight: 64.5 → 63.7 kg
• Skeletal Muscle Mass: 30.3 → 31.0 kg
• Percentage Body Fat: 16.7 → 13.8%
• Visceral Fat Area: 42.7 → 33.5 cm²
• Arm Muscle Avg: 2.895 → 3.02 kg
• Leg Muscle Avg: 8.145 → 8.405 kg
I thought I was shrinking.
It was a strange feeling not consuming as much carbs or “junk” as usual.
I expected to have lost a ton of muscle mass - quite surprised I actually gained muscle especially with HIIT workouts.
Next Step:
Will continue to experiment and eliminate other factors and measure the progress weekly.
Let’s see if we can really build some serious mass whilst on the Blueprint Protocol Diet 💪
