Phil Mickelson Lost Weight (Photo)

I'm guessing he'll provide details of how he did it. This inspires me to get the ball rolling on that too.

OK, 6 day fasting period, coffee. Difficult to maintain once weight is lost though.

Caloric deficit.

The Wife would shoot me.  I would be a crazed maniac running around with an extreme caffeine high mixed with the hangries.  Would not be a pretty sight

Don't you lose weight from eating "brownies"?  maybe that's gain weight because you always have the munchies..  Not sure.   

He does look much more fit than before.

I’m trying to do the same thing with bourbon…

The fast is just what he used as a reset to get started. He didn't look as lean right after the fast as he does now. He's lost a good bit since that fast. Of course, it is much easier to do when you have someone preparing all of your meals and a trainer that you see every day..haha

It's IG so who knows what's been done this photo as far as editing goes but he's kinda getting to the point where his head is too big for his body imo. I am interested to see how well he will play this year with the life style changes before he turns 50 and moves onto the Champions Tour though!

This included a six day fasting period, in which he lived on a special blend of coffee and water.

I wonder what was special about it. Did it not involve grinding roasted beans and using water to extract parts of the coffee and end up with a hot or cold drink?

He'll always be "Hefty" to me....

If he's anything like me, he'll find it bye and bye.

if you google phil mickelson+coffee there are some blurbs about some special coffee guru he gets his coffee from, but these articles are from a few years ago, though i imagine the 2 coffees are related.  that being said, I dont think the type of coffee really matters. at the end of the day, he did a fast, and lost a ton of weight, and it was part of a greater lifestyle change of his that has definitely shown fruits lately.  He looks leaner and definitely has more of a V look to his torso than he had even a few months ago.  he was more of a rectangle on his best days, but he looks 15 years younger right now, and I've definitely been considering a fast since hearing him talk about it.  Would probably be a pretty effective way to lose some extra fat fast, but obviously you would have to make a bit of a lifestyle change to maintain it.

I have to admit... I thought about this and/or cold sculpture thing that Ian P. reps.
