Print This Article Ezine Publisher Send To Friends Add To Favorites Post A Comment Suggest Topic Report Author

This diet is designed for a 250 pound amateur bodybuilder. While this may not apply to you, make your adjustments accordingly. This diet employs the use of very low carbs to burn fat. Always consult your doctor before undergoing this or any other diet plan.

Meal 1 - 6 whole Omega-3 eggs

Meal 2 - 8oz chicken with 1/2-cup raw almonds

Meal 3 - 50g whey with 2 tablespoons all natural peanut butter (Post Workout)

Meal 4 - 8oz salmon with 1-cup asparagus with 1-tablespoon macadamia nut oil

Meal 5 - 50 g whey with 2 tablespoon PB

Meal 6 - 6 whole eggs

No starchy carbs are to be eaten with this diet. Your body and brain will be in ketosis. You are allowed one cheat meal per week. Consume your cheat meal as the last meal of the day, so you do not have the opportunity to cheat on this day again.

All cardiovascular training should be performed at a low intensity (under 120bpm heart rate). This will ensure that you use fat as a fuel source. As your heart rate increases, carbohydrates begin to become the preferred fuel of choice for the body. When on a low carbohydrate diet, your body will break down muscle and turn that into carbs. You must remember: Fat cannot be changed into carbs. Therefore, for bodybuilding, the rule of cardio should be long duration, coupled with low intensity.

Good luck with your pre-contest routine. This is just a guide for works well with many. Adjust it as you see fit, but just remember to avoid those starchy carbs!
