Ever since I was a kid, I've always had a huge problem with my weight. Even as a professional fighter, in between fights during my rest I end up eating and eating like a bottomless pit!! Cutting weight for fights always became a problem, losing anywhere from 12 - 8kgs for a fight leaving me weak, tired and not performing my best when I'm in the ring.
I remember reading once about Gavin giving advice to a friend of his and who lost a lot of weight without lifting a single weight or working out. Showing you that nutrition and diet play a huge part in weight loss, daily energy and performing at your ultimate fitness levels when you are a professional athlete.
In the one hour I spent with Gavin learning about metabolic typing, I learnt so much more about my body, food types and what I should/shouldn't be fueling my body with. The knowledge he shared with me in that hour was by far more informative than the number of hours I've spent on the internet or reading books trying to find out how to control and manage my diet and energy levels! Upon starting with my diet and cutting out all the foods that Gavin had told me to avoid during his metabolic typing assessment. I easily dropped 3kgs. Four weeks later standing on the scales at the weigh in at the press conference I had cut 10kgs and made my 72kg weight limit easily, and felt like I could easily cut another 1 or 2kgs, without any hassle. I won my fight that night and didn't feel as fatigued or as lethargic as I usually do from cutting ridiculous amounts of weight.
Thank you very much Gavin, I look forward to learning more of the benefits one can get from metabolic typing. Zach
I would like to thank Gavin for his introduction and guidance for his R28 program. I never knew my body will respond well to this type of program. I have been overtraining so much the past year with no significant results. The R28 really gives me the initial results and foundation that I would like to have for maintenance and for my conditioning process. Besides, the diet is what I like to enjoy because I know what you put inside your body is reflected on the outside!! Being an amateur figure athlete, I understand the training and the diet principles, and probably that makes the transition to the requirements of this program a lot easier.
So at the end of day 28, I have lost a total of 3.3kg of body-fat, a total loss of 17mm from fat skin-fold measurements. I have lost 12.5cm lost in measurements around my entire body, the most significant loss around the waist and triceps! Wow, not bad for this first attempt. Being a female, this program becomes challenging during the days where I have my menstrual cycle. But I did not let that deter me to a great extent. Continue to drink lots of water and also give full effort in the workouts. It is only normal and healthy for females to have their menstrual cycle. One thing I do know is that the next time when I do the R28 program again, it will be so much better and more focused especially with the lactate training, and definitely will incorporate week 5 and week 6 for sure!!
I will definitely encourage everyone to try the R28 program with 100% commitment, no less always more! You will be guaranteed not only results but also changes your way towards healthy living. Health is wealth. Make your choice today. Yuyan
The R28 program is ideal for someone who can dedicate 20 minutes a day & yields phenomenal results! Starting weight was 100.5 kg, finishing weight was 93.8kg. Total Loss was 6.7kg which equated to a 6.67% reduction in body-fat levels! I lost 14 pounds of body-fat in 28 days, whilst still maintaining my muscle mass. A simple eating plan along with two fairly intense 10 minute workouts daily is all that was required. No calorie counting or long boring cardio sessions required. I would highly recommend it to busy individuals or anyone wanting to jump start fat loss, or needing to lose those last extra few pounds. James
I went to see Gavin twice in the course of training for my first marathon. The first time with chronic inflammation of my Achilles tendons and the second time with a nerve impingement issue in my right leg. On both occasions I have been delighted with the results. Straight away he knew what the issue with my Achilles was, most importantly how to effectively treat it. He also identified the underlying posture imbalances that may have caused the injury and put together a straight forward, easy to follow series of corrective exercises to tackle the underlying problem. Gavin gave excellent advice and as a result this long term injury is now completely under control.
The second time I went to see Gavin was just a week before I was due to run my first marathon. I had an unidentified pain shooting down the entire length of one leg which had been present for 2 weeks and showed no signs of abating. It looked like months of training for my first marathon would be wasted. However, Gavin knew exactly what the most likely cause for this pain was. Amazingly within one treatment the pain had gone-completely! Again he gave advice & straight forward corrective exercises for the following week. The injury has stayed away, enabling me to compete in the race. Gavin has an encyclopaedic knowledge of human anatomy and uses this knowledge to identify & treat problems quickly & very effectively- seemingly with a miraculous touch. Adam
I would like to thank you for your invaluable assistance... The results so far are truly amazing!!! Not only am I losing weight (while eating more than ever before!) The most important thing is that I feel very strong and healthy. My body has become more solid, I have no idea if I continue like this what the end results will be! I am very glad to have met you as you have managed to improve my health and physical condition so fast. I appreciate all your advice & tips which have made a huge difference from eating correctly to training more seriously. Your program is so effective, I can clearly see the improvement in power, strength & reduced body-fat levels in just one only month. AlexAfter returning from an overseas trip in early 2008 I must have picked up a stomach bug or something else as I had persistent loose bowels. I didn’t think it was that serious at first, but I went to see the GP after one week. After completing the course of medication, I still had the same problem, so I went back to the GP for stronger medication. When this again didn't work, I started to worry! So I went to the hospital to have myself checked out. After a couple of visits to the specialist clinic, they eventually put me through a series of blood tests, scans and an invasive internal scope (all of which found nothing wrong). The doctors told me I had irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and there really wasn’t much they could do for me. This was after 8 long months of hospital visits, inconvenience and hospital bills they told me this!! Miraculously after doing the detox program, my bowel movement went back to normal for the first time in 8 months, my energy levels improved, skin condition got better and I felt a whole lot healthier in just 5 days.

I have just completed 5 days on Gavin’s "Reboot your bod" detox program and I can honestly say that I haven't felt this good in a long time. I've lost 6llbs in 5 days along with 1" off my waist. Weight loss wasn’t the only benefit though, I’m bouncing out of bed at 6am, my skin is glowing and I feel so much more focused and happy. I have never tried fasting before and I was surprised how much easier this was than I anticipated. Having heard friend’s stories of other fasts I was rather nervous but Gavin’s detox really supplies all you need to cleanse inside out. I would recommend to anyone wanting to kick start a weight loss program or to those who are looking for more energy and focus in their lives. Lucy
I followed the detox program for 5 days and was very impressed with the results. I lost just under 5kg! (11lb) and noticed a great improvement in my overall well-being. My skin was much better and there was a definite improvement in energy levels by the end of the 5 days. Sticking to the routine was tough and although this may not be for the faint-hearted I would definitely recommend this to anyone wishing to kick-start their fitness regime. John
In hindsight doing the detox without the inclusion of caffeine enemas is quite hard, but something I would love to do on a regular basis. I saw the amazing before and after results through blood tests and could not believe my eyes when I saw the difference. I am so happy to finally know when my body is not happy it is because of the foods I am eating. Rather than me thinking I just did not feel well in general.Weight: Before 68kg - After 63kg (weight loss of 11lbs in 7 days!) Elaine
I have always been interested in detox and fasting methods, so when Gavin suggested I should try the Reboot your Bod Detox programme I jumped on the opportunity. As I had had some previous experience with fasting, I chose to go for the slightly longer 7-day programme as opposed to the 5-day version. I found a good shop to stock up the various ingredients that would be needed for the next 7 days and the financial outlay gave me an extra incentive to finish the programme. On the first day, I was eager to start and I mixed 2 litres each of the two detox drinks – one alkaline and the other slightly acidic – and these drinks I carried with me to the office every day for the duration of the programme. The idea is to drink these at regular intervals over the course of the day, in addition to any normal water intake. I did not find it a problem to consume this amount of liquid as it also helped to stop any hunger setting in. I followed all the daily rituals & recommendations as set out in the book. It was only on the second day that I experienced cravings for food, which I countered by increasing my fluid intake and having an extra glass of Psyllium husks. When I woke up on the third day, my hunger was gone and it did not return until a couple of hours before I broke the fast (surely psychological!). I continued training with Gavin throughout the programme, but only light/moderate sessions as my stamina was somewhat reduced.
At the end of the 7-day programme, I had lost 3.7kg (8.14lbs), had a lot more energy & felt much healthier than before the programme. My energy levels returned and I noticed my ability to not only maintain Core activation but also my Core strength had significantly improved in just one week. The programme is easy to follow thanks for Gavin’s excellent annotated notes and clear instructions. All the ingredients can be sourced locally and are all organic. Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend anyone to try the “Reboot your bod” programme and I myself will do it every 6 months to re-boot my system! Tristan
The 'Ripped in 28 Days' program is a prime example of the phrase "You get out what you put in!". This is a diet/program that requires a lot of planning and commitment. The dedication needed to prep meals, schedule gym/training times and adhere to the manual is full-on to say the least; although this is all worth it with the results achieved at the end of 28 days. The R28 manual explains the medical reasons behind each stage of the program and was very useful in maintaining motivation throughout. For the right type of personality/character, this is the perfect program to make a substantial difference to your physical (and mental) well-being. I would definitely follow the R28 program again and would recommend this to anyone who feels they can commit to the challenge. Peter
I was never a fan of any detox programs and the thought of going for days without any solid food was an insane idea for me. Until the day Gavin professionally recommended me to try up his "Reboot Your Bod Detox Program", with much scepticism, I went ahead anyway. I must say this is one of the most exciting journeys, the realization of "Mind over matter" became crystal clear from day 3; gladly, I extended the detox program to last 7 days!!The end results of this program were phenomenal, I felt more energized, my skin cleared up(I have acne prone skin) and the sense of well being that I read about mostly in books, was now a real experience. I thank Gavin for creating such a powerful program. I strongly recommend this program to anyone! B
I started out with the intention of making the weight category for my fight, but, I got way more than what I asked for. I’m quite sure that Gavin is very pleased and proud with what I have achieved in 30 days - Lost 10.2KG! or 22lbs in just 30 days and 15.5cm (Waist: 7.5cm, Hips: 8cm). Frank
The diet you gave Jason is amazing! He's lost 11lbs in 3 weeks and I've been doing it and have lost 6llbs, don't feel deprived of food and not hungry. You've worked your magic yet again. Abby
