From Men's Health

Like most people trying to lose weight and get in shape, British entrepreneur and reality TV star Spencer Matthews was aware of what healthy eating looks like. But simply avoiding junk food and maintaining the requisite calorie deficit to hit 5 percent body fat are very different beasts.

The simplest way to do this is to hand things over to the professionals. In this case, they were the nutritionists and chefs at UK-based Mens Health Fuel. Throughout the transformation, Matthews took delivery of four meals from the Lean plan, three days a week. (If you happen to be stateside, here are 8 US-based services that will make your meal prep even easier.)

But to prove it can also be done with a little elbow grease in the kitchen, he was left to fend for himself for the rest of the weekrelying on the simple, healthful meals below to get him through. There was still room for clean G&Ts after work and weekend takeaways, too.

To reign in his portion control, Stafford cut him a dealhe could pile his plate as high as he liked, as long as it was a side plate. Really it all came down to discipline. In the run-up to the photoshoot Id finished three of my four Fuel boxes by 11 am, recounts Matthews with a grimace. I messaged my trainer Shaun Stafford to plead for an extra meal. His response was tough luck!, making room only for extra celery sticks, watermelon fingers or Diet Coke. It paid off though, and made the two burgers from Five Guys after the final photo all the more satisfying. Here's a look at the meal plan that helped him get there.
