Many people always ask me how long they think it is best to diet for a competition? This is something that I find very hard to answer, after all, we’re all different, and what works for me does not always mean it with work for others and vice versa. Therefore, I can only give the simple answer “listen to your body”, and learn to read it, which may sound simple enough, but when starting out in bodybuilding I didn’t find it that easy, and even to this day I’m still learning something new about my body and how it works.

I can only give you an overview what I do and some of it may sound strange to some and simple to others. There are no great potions or formulas to make us great, this I believe is purely down to hard work, sweat (and sometimes tears), and above all dedication, and maybe one day we’ll achieve the goals we aspire to, whether simply getting that beach body we always wanted or become the next Olympic Champion.

This time around I have decided to give myself as much time as possible which allows me to go slow and not feel the added pressure of starving myself at the beginning of my diet. I started my diet in May, and the first thing I normally cut out first of all is any kind of “fast food” (trust me this is not easy for me), as I am sure many of you will appreciate….Haha!



20 Weeks out – DIET PREPATION


Breakfast - Porridge + 11 egg whites
Meal 2 – Steak (200gr) + Rice (30gr)
Meal 3 – 11 Egg whites
Meal 4 – Steak (200gr) + Rice (30gr)
Meal 5 – Salmon (200g) + Vegetables
Meal 6 - Steak (200gr) + Vegetables
Meal 7 – White fish (200g) + Vegetables
Meal 8 – 11 Egg whites

Gradually over the coming weeks I will review my diet, and then start to reduce my carbs gradally, so not to shock my body too much, as I know I have a long road ahead to do this.

In terms of supplementation, I’m taking:

Glutamine 10gr before and after my workout.
BCAA after my workout, and before bed.
