A 45-year-old father of three with a beer belly turned into a fitness god in 12 weeks

Ben Jackson, 45, from Warrington, a father of three, pulled himself together and swapped pies and beer for a low-carb and protein-rich diet. The man was able to lose weight from 86.5 kilograms to 79 and reduce the amount of body fat from 20 to 9%. The results in 12 weeks are staggering. Jackson showed that even after 40 years, you can change, turn from a typical dad with a beer belly into a fitness god — you just have to want to.

Ben not only followed a strict diet and trained 5 times a week in the gym, but also refused alcohol to achieve results.

Before starting training, Ben called himself a "45-year-old fat man": "Many men over 45 think that in middle age it's too late to try to change something and start a fitness adventure. Allegedly, they have long lost their shape, and their health is not the same as in 20 years."
