AFL legend Brendan Fevola reveals how following a keto diet helped him shed 16kg in 1 month
At one stage the 43-year-old athlete weighed in at 130kg.
AFL legend Brendan Fevola has revealed the secret behind his incredible weight loss after shedding a whopping 30kg in the past 12 months, and a further 16kg in August alone.
Brendan, who started playing football at five years old before being drafted to Carlton FC at 17, discussed his transformation on Fox FM’s Fifi, Fev and Nick breakfast show, and told his co-hosts he is following the keto eating plan and participating in the 30 day challenge in August.
‘I’m on another diet ... I’ve dropped like nine kilos so far. I’m doing keto, which is perfect for me,” he said part-way through the August challenge.
‘I want to lose weight, feel good and shred up. I sort of know what to do but it can be hard. With keto.com.au, it’s all done for you, and it’s easy.’

‘I’ve done other weight loss diets and the food just didn’t taste good, it wasn’t good fuel,” Brendan said.
“After I finished I put more weight back on. I got up to 130kg at one point. A lot of diets take away the fatty stuff and I think I need the fat. I’ve been doing the keto eating-plan for almost two weeks now and I feel really good.
“I’ve got energy, I haven’t craved anything. I’ve been drinking the odd beer and I’ve still been able to lose weight. I love that keto isn’t just about restricting or going hungry.
“I love Thai Green Chicken Curry. I think it’s incredible.”
By reducing carbs and focusing on healthy fats and proteins, a keto eating plan puts your body in a natural metabolic state, otherwise known as ketosis.
‘You don’t need to exercise a lot to get the results. I don’t really have time for exercise at the moment. I’m up early for breakfast radio, I’ve got the kids, I’m doing stuff around the house,” Brendan continued.
“On keto I’m not only dropping the kilos fast, there are all these additional benefits like more energy, improved productivity, better digestion and better sleep. I’ve never slept better in my life!"
The ketogenic (keto) diet changes the way your body uses food.
Typically, carbohydrates provide most of the fuel your body needs.
The keto diet reduces the number of carbs you eat to teach your body to burn fat for fuel instead.

‘Since starting keto I’ve been fasting in the morning and I feel better. I’ve got more energy. With Keto Ready Meals I just rip the lid, chuck it in the microwave for six minutes, I get everything else done, I come back, put it in a bowl and it’s good to go.
