James said: “In reality, I was miserable. I never wanted to leave the house, and wouldn’t go swimming with my friends because I felt too embarrassed.”

But after leaving school his step-dad suggested he joined the marines to get into shape.

“My step-dad suggested that I join the marines and it was as if someone had flicked a switch in my head because from that moment I knew this was my motivation to get fit,” added James.

Inspired by this goal James, realised he had to quickly shed his excess weight to pass the strenuous fitness tests required.

He began exercising every day and overhauled his eating habits by buying healthy protein-packed foods from Musclefood.com.

“Once I’d made the decision to train every day I soon started to see results and was amazed to lose so much weight in such a short time,” he added.

Following a strict diet, which includes a bowl of oats at the start and end of every day, three servings of chicken & rice and a portion of eggs – as well as the occasional Musclefood protein pizza or stir fry meal bag – the ex-marine managed to perfect his ripped physique.
