Léo Santos from Masterchef tells how he reduced 6 numbers on the mannequin

After publishing a photo on his Instagram, Léo Santos, Masterchef's 4th season participant, attracted several looks due to his new appearance. Visibly thinner, the cook told My Life what the changes he had been called to achieve a healthier life.

Low carb diet + physical activity

According to him, his food change was based entirely on reduction of foods made up of carbohydrates and sugars, such as a low carb diet.

Along with diet, he does karate, a mode he had practiced since the age of 7 but had abandoned him in the last 3 years. He is also adept at the race between 3 and 4 times a week for 45 minutes, in addition to doing bodybuilding 3 times during the week.

From the manikin 58 to 46

In the weight category, the cook says he does not know how many kg he has already eliminated since acquired the new habits. "I started out without a specific purpose, so I did not weigh myself in. I used the good old technique of clothing, using them as a parameter." At the beginning of the diet I wore mannequin 58, currently seen 46 ", tells My Life. In his words, the diet came as a promise of New Year, the ones that we set as a goal and never do. He was dissatisfied with the physical shape that, over the last few years studying for the reality show, had changed a lot.

Leonardo claims that he had tried several other diets and that he always thought the problem was in them, but after recognizing that the problem is in itself

Tip to achieve your goal

"Define your priorities.It is much more a mental work than a nutritional one."
