I feel frustrated for my FI. He gets down on himself from time to time because he has been doing kettlebells for about a year now and he doesn't see much of a difference. I tell him he looks like he has dropped some weight and his arms look stronger. He does flucuate a lot, though. His diet for the most part is pretty good, I make him a lunch Mon-Fri and it is always all healthy foods, almost everything in there is clean for that matter. He does like to drink, but doesn't do it that frequently and he has been trying to cut out a lot of the beer and stick to vodka soda. He drinks a ton of water, and coffee, too. He works out I would say about 3-5 times a week depending on the week. Even though I think he is looking a little slimmer, I too wonder why he isn't dropping the weight quicker. I am thinking genetics have a huge part. His father is very heavy and his Mother is a little overweight, too. But, they also lead very sednetary lives and back 30 years ago they weighed a lot less. What gives? I just hate to see him so down on himself!
Oh and also, the workouts are crazy intense. He is drenched after each gym session. Dinner is usually fish, steak, or turkey meat with a veggie and on occasion a whole grain brain rice. For breakfast he has been doing a big protein shake with blueberries and banana (he drinks that after the gym) Lunch and snacks are a salad with no dressing and chicken, carrots, wasabi peas mixed with nuts, an apple, sometimes a string cheese.
