At 11am, Justin Rhys is onto his sixth meal of the day – a lamb shank. His extreme diet is part of a rigorous routine of exercise, eating and pills and tonics designed to get him to his goal weight and body fat percentage.
Some people become addicted to alcohol, some addicted to gambling. Justin is addicted to weight gain, an addiction labelled megarexic. His addiction saw him thrown in jail for importing illegal drugs with a $2 million street value, all intended for himself, in his attempt to become a champion bodybuilder.
Reporter Amanda Millar talks to Justin about his all consuming addiction, life on the inside and what it takes to get your body into the state he is aiming for.
