Introduction
Welcome to the Sculpted Vegan 4 Week Shred Program!

For the next 28 days you will be Kim Constable’s client and training partner. You will learn how to steadily manip-
ulate your food, lift weights to maintain muscle mass and utilize supplements to shred body fat. If you want to
transform like Kim, then buckle up cause you’re in for one hell of a ride. It’s not going to be easy, but it will worth
it. This is the Sculpted Vegan, 4 Week Shred.

Kim Constable is a world-renownd fitness icon. Her motivational, no-BS mentality has inspired countless people
all over the globe to reinvest in their health and get started on a path towards fitness.

In her tenure as a pro bikini athlete, she’s written hundreds of fitness articles and has sold thousands of body
sculpting programs worldwide, through her company The Sculpted Vegan. Her latest project, The Sculpted Veg-
an 4 Week Shred, provides the training, nutrition and supplementation tools to shred like a pro.

We recommend that you read this whole program from start to finish, and then go back to the start and read it
all again. Then go back to the start and read it all a third time! Reading something three times ensures that you
process and retain the information more accurately. Then break down the individual components and read each
part separately, making notes as you go on what you need to order or purchase. If you have a question that isn’t
answered in the program post it in the Sculpted Vegan 4 Week Shred Facebook group where our team of experts
will be checking in daily and answering questions.

Training Overview

I created the SV4WeekShred over the course of 2 years using a combination of knowledge and hands on experi-
ence. The approach to this program will be mental as much as physical. Through exercise videos and guidance,
I will lead the way to show how to apply intensity, isolation, load application and precise muscle failure to get
totally shredded. This approach will be as much mental as physical, but the guesswork is taken out. I will show
you how to lean out every single muscle group through intensity, isolation, load application and failure. You’ll be
training 4 days per week with a 2 on, 1 off, 2 on, 2 off training split. I weight train Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and
Friday. Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday I devoted exclusively to cardio. If you have to swap days around to
suit your schedule, that’s fine.

This program has been designed primarily for someone who has some previous training experience and a rea-
sonable level of fitness. However, it can also be done by complete beginners, if you take care to watch all the
exercise videos before hitting the gym and also familiarize yourself with the equipment you will need. If you hav-
en’t ever trained, I won’t lie. You’ll find this very tough. The muscle soreness will be real and you may find your-
self fatigued in the first week. This doesn’t mean that you should stop. Try to keep going as much as you can
and if needed, rest more. You may need to go to bed several hours earlier or nap during the day if your schedule
allows. Find ways to rest and recuperate, rather than giving up on the program.

Every day will also feature two cardio sessions, split between the morning and evening. The resistance training
will focus around progressive overload method of gradually increasing resistance (weight) whilst still working
within the 10-12 rep, hypertrophy range. Each set you perform you’re going to be adding more weight each time.

Your first and second sets are more like warm up sets, meaning that you have several reps still in reserve after
you’ve finished the 10 reps. Your third and/or four sets should leave very little, if nothing, in the lifting tank. Make
sure that you are hitting concrete muscle failure at around 6-8 reps in the final set of each exercise, whether
that be the third or fourth. If you find that you haven’t hit failure then either keep with the reps until you do hit
failure, or perform an extra set with a heavier weight.

Nutrition Overview

Over the next 28 days, you will join me in eating clean and getting lean. Your shred timeline is very short, so
there’s no room for error or cheating. If you follow this precise nutrition plan without fail, you’ll see that it’s very
possible to lose half your body fat and get ripped in 4 weeks. As with my training and supplement strategies, the
nutrition program here has evolved from my programs The Sculpted Vegan Physique Athlete Program, The 12
Week Shred as well as my books The Plant Based Nutrition and Training Guide and recipe books, 44 High Protein
Vegan Recipes and Tofu in 10. The success of my clients is quite extraordinary and it has enabled me to create
this precise nutrition program that I personally used to get ripped in just four weeks.

It’s worth mentioning that you do NOT get a cheat meal on this program. Anything worth doing in such a short
space of time requires 100% of your focus and attention. You simply can’t get extraordinary results with ordi-
nary nutrition.

Before you begin you need to clear your cupboards and invest in the following if you haven’t already:

Shakers
Blender
Drink bottles
Cooler bags
A food scale
Measuring Cups

You can get 25% off anything you purchase through The Protein Works by simply using the code KIM25 at
checkout. Currently The Protein Works offer shipping to European countries only, to find out more visit their

Your training days will require more fuel to power your workouts and recover from the muscle breakage. The
training will intensify week by week, but your calories will slowly reduce as your body weight does, and you’ll be
using fat as fuel and taking in just enough calories to maintain muscle. Your cortisol levels will rise during the 28
days, so it’s imperative that your nutrition is 100% at all times, non-training and training days included.
Although simple to follow, I have the formula down to a science. Below is a simple formula for you to follow when
calculating your calories per day. The reason why fats aren’t included in this calculation is because I do not allow
any fats further than the naturally occurring ones you find in your protein sources, especially if you eat tofu,
which I recommend you only eat once per day due to the high fat content.

Make sure you download the app My Fitness Pal and weigh and track your food.

Daily protein requirements:

1.18 x lbs. of body weight.


Example: 143lbs x 1.18 = 168g protein per day

Optional calculation for people who weigh OVER 170lbs.


1g per lb of body weight.
Body weight in lbs x 1g

If you are over 200lbs, please reduce it further to 0.6g per lb.
Bodyweight in lbs x 0.6g

Daily complex carbohydrate requirements

Week 1: 0.65 x lbs of body weight


Example: 143 lbs x 65 = 93g carbs

Week 2: 0.58 x lbs of body weight


Example: 143 lbs x 0.58 = 83g carbs

Week 3: 0.53 x lbs of body weight


Example: 143 lbs x 0.53 = 76g carbs

Week 4: 0.50 x lbs of body weight


Example: 143 x 0.50 = 71g carbs

Some other notes to keep in mind:

- Eat as many green vegetables as you need to keep you full. Graze on green vegetables all day if you can.
Lightly steam and then dip them in mustard or squeeze of the juice of a lemon and sprinkle with sea salt for
flavour.
- Don’t add any fats to your food. You will be in balance by all the natural fat in the clean foods listed during
this short four-week period, plus we don’t want the extra calories.
- Cook every meal yourself for the entire four weeks. Meal prep on a Sunday if you need to. Avoid restaurants
if possible. Eating just one meal that is off spec demands two days to get your body back in the zone.
- Try to eat only organic, extra firm tofu. Silken tofu has much higher calories than extra firm. Try to eat no
more than two, 280g blocks per day due to the high fat content.
- Avoid all dairy, wheat and gluten. This is intended to be an anti-inflammatory diet because you’ll be getting
all the inflammation you can handle in the gym.
- Add as many herbs, spices, salt, pepper and lemon juice to your food as you like. Just don’t add extra fats or
condiments such as ketchup or mayo.
- Add cinnamon to your oatmeal and coffee for it’s potent anti-inflammatory qualities.

Supplement Overview
The SV4WeekShred protocol is intense and will test your physical and mental abilities to the max. Even with an
accurate diet and optimal training plan, supplementing can improve performance, recovery and fat loss and can
help you feel more energized through the process. With calorie restriction comes the risk of fatigue, impaired
performance and loss of muscle tissue. Buffering these barriers with the precise ingredients in patented and
concentrated forms at the right times can provide faster results, which is imperative when you want to be a fat-
loss success story in only 4 weeks.

If you want to preserve muscle and burn fat, here is the breakdown of the supplements I use to go from shapely
to shredded.

Upon Waking
BCAA Powder added to 600ml water

Before breakfast
1 tbsp raw apple cider vinegar

30 Minutes before workout


2 high strength L-Carnitine tablets

During workout
BCAA Powder added to 1L of water

Immediately post workout


The Protein Works vanilla crème protein powder
5g each of Leucine, Creatine and L Glutamine

Before bed
10g L Glutamine powder
1 tbsp raw apple cider vinegar

Before every meal


2 high strength Alpha Lipoic Acid capsules

Non Training Days

To support your recovery and results on days you don’t train in the gym, mix 3 servings of L-Citrulline, 2 servings
of Creatine, 3 servings of BCAAs and 250ml of coconut water to a gallon (2.2L) of water and sip throughout the
day.
Workout Plan
Days 1-7

The gym that I train in, Elite Health and Fitness in Lisburn, Northern Ireland was created by one of the world’s
most prolific bodybuilders. So the range of equipment is huge. However, I’ve tried to keep the exercises simple
and use equipment that every reasonable gym will have. But if you find that you don’t have a particular piece of
equipment, simply Google an exercise that uses the same muscle groups and do that instead. This is true for
every single exercise in the program. Don’t skip exercises because of lack of equipment. Simply substitute a
piece of equipment for another that works the same muscle.

During each exercise keep the mind to muscle connection strong to reduce the chance of injury. This is not
a time for personal bests as you are restricting calories and lowering body fat. This doesn’t mean that you
shouldn’t lift heavy. Quite the opposite in fact. If you don’t lift heavy, your body will think that it doesn’t need to
keep the muscle you already have, and start to drop it quite quickly. So keep hitting failure on the final set of
every exercise and you’ll do great.

increase from 30 minutes to 40 minutes. This stops the body from acclimating to the work-load and stalling fat
loss. Keep the intensity high and don’t lose focus.

Week 3 Workout
Days 15-21

This week we will focus on the pump and contraction of every muscle group. This is especially important as our
carbohydrates, and then glycogen levels reduce, and our cardiovascular duration of exercise increases. You
want to make sure that you still lift heavy and strong and are not tempted to drop your weights. I would rather
see you lift fewer reps of a heavy weight in the final set and reach total failure, than lift a lighter weight and hit
the 10 reps. It is only in the failure reps that our muscles stay big and full. If we drop the weight then the body
has no need to keep the muscles strong, so it starts to break down muscle tissue very quickly.

Day 29
It’s your last day! Remember to now take your “after” photos against the same back drop and wearing the same
clothing if possible. Take them from the front, back and both sides.

So you get a “pump” for your after photos you should fill up on starchy carbs a few hours before you intend to
take the photos. This can be a large bowl of oatmeal with a tablespoon of almond butter and some maple syrup.
Eat at least 3 hours before so that your body has a chance to digest and assimilate the carbs.

Remember to place your before and after pictures side by side and post on social media with the hashtag
#sv4weekshredfinal. This can be done using the app Layout

If you are entering the competition to win $5000, it is imperative that you use the correct hashtag when posting
as we will be choosing the finalists from this hashtag category.
What’s next?
When you finish this plan, you’re not really done; you’re ready to begin again! It’s time to start considering your
options for what comes next. An “after” picture, some well-earned rest, and a hearty meal or two are probably
part of your plan. But what then?

Here are some popular options:

• You could turn right around and perform this same plan again. No, really! Many people find they experi-
ence even better results the second time through a plan since they’re familiar with the exercise protocol,
the diet, and other factors that may be hard to master the first time through. If you hammer the plan
again, just set some new goals and push yourself beyond where you started.

• If you’ve been moving in the same direction for a while and need a change of pace, you could do a 180
and change your goal. If you’ve been chasing gains, try a fat-loss or performance plan. If you’ve been los-
ing fat, it could be time to build strength or add muscle. Believe it or not, each program can feed perfectly
into the next! The Sculpted Vegan Program is a 12 Month Program designed to take you all the way to a
physique athlete’s body, whether you decide to stand on stage or not. You could just walk around with a
body like you could!

• Take a brief break from structured training. If you need a little variety in your life and time to decide
where to go next, just repeat your favourite workouts from the program you’re finishing while you make
up your mind, or string together workouts from a few different programs—back from one, legs from an-
other, and so on. This can help you try a plan out before you commit to it.

Whatever you do, don’t let the momentum you’ve been building up fade away! Consistency is the key to a fit life-
style, and over the last few weeks, you’ve built up a lot of it. Now go finish strong!
