AFL legend Brendan Fevola has opened up about his dramatic weight loss journey, revealing that he has shed 30 kilograms over the past year, with an impressive 16 kilograms lost just in August. The 43-year-old athlete, who once weighed in at 130 kilograms, has attributed his transformation to the keto diet.
Fevola, who began his football career at the young age of five and was drafted by Carlton FC at 17, discussed his weight loss success on Fox FM’s “Fifi, Fev and Nick” breakfast show. He shared that his current regimen involves following a keto eating plan and participating in a 30-day challenge this August.
“I’m on another diet… I’ve already dropped about nine kilograms. I’m doing keto, which is perfect for me,” Fevola said during the challenge.
The keto diet, which emphasizes low-carb, high-fat consumption, aims to induce a state of ketosis in the body, where fat is burned for fuel instead of carbohydrates. Fevola praised the convenience of keto.com.au, which offers dietitian-formulated Keto Ready Meals delivered directly to one’s door, making it easier for him to adhere to the diet despite a busy schedule.
“I’ve tried other weight loss diets before, and the food just didn’t taste good or fuel me properly,” Fevola noted. “I ended up gaining weight back after finishing them. At one point, I reached 130 kilograms. Many diets cut out fats, but I find I need them. Since starting keto, I’ve felt fantastic.”
Fevola, who is now an ambassador for keto.com.au, emphasized that the diet has not only helped him lose weight but also enhanced his overall well-being. “I’ve got more energy, I haven’t craved unhealthy foods, and I’ve even enjoyed the occasional beer without hindering my progress,” he said. “Keto isn’t just about restriction; it’s about feeling good while losing weight.”
The keto diet’s benefits extend beyond weight loss, with Fevola noting improvements in energy levels, productivity, digestion, and sleep quality. Despite a demanding routine that includes early radio shows, family responsibilities, and household tasks, Fevola has found the keto diet manageable and effective.
“The ready-made meals from keto.com.au are incredibly convenient. I just microwave them for six minutes and they’re ready to go. It’s simple, tasty, and filling,” he added.
Keto.com.au reports that their program has successfully helped over 30,000 Australians lose weight, with 422 verified five-star reviews. Based in Adelaide, the company prides itself on using high-quality ingredients to create its Keto Ready Meals, which are prepared fresh by South Australian chefs and approved by accredited dieticians.
