Ray Itaoui

Ray is a very busy businessman that has a full schedule and epitomises a make time philosophy for his health and well-being.

Training hasn't been the challenge at all, we get it in mostly 2-3 times a week, the stumbling block was portion sizes and a lack of knowledge around calories and the impact seemingly under filling foods can have in terms of the overconsumption of calories.

Ray was smashing nuts 30 at a time up to twice a day which contains a hell of a lot of calories thinking he was making a good choice, which he was, nuts are a great source of fats however the sheer volume of calories he couldn't comprehend.

A serving of almonds as an example (12 nuts @ 30g in weight = 15g Fat and 135 Calories) Ray was having 5x that a day just from nuts.

So, once we understood this, balanced it out and tweaked Ray's nutrition ever so slightly the results followed with a 7% reduction in body fat from 24.4% to 17.4%.
