From dad bod to ripped in EIGHT WEEKS: Man who photographs bodybuilders for a living reveals how he got washboard abs (and he still ate six meals a day)

Simon Howard, from Surrey, who used to work as a model said he had let his physique 'slide' and weighed 13st 7lbs (left), so decided to embark on a gruelling eight-week training and diet regime to get his dream body (right). 

The 35-year-old father-of-one enlisted the help of coach and nutritionist Paul Burgess, who put a programme in place that saw Simon lose one-and-a-half stone, then put most of it back on in pure muscle. 

Simon, is the leanest and most muscular he has ever been, now tips the scales at 13st 4lbs, and says he has more energy thanks to being put on a high-protein diet.
