However, to make this easier on myself, I usually switch to a carbohydrate cycling based diet called Ultimate Diet 2.0
- The athlete stays on a very low carbohydrate, high protein diet from Monday to Thursday.
- Thursday night(after the workout) until Sunday afternoon, he gets to go on a High carbohydrate, high protein diet, which means eating all you want(keep it healthy though).
- Workouts are 3-4 days a week(Mon-Tue-Thu-Sat or Mon-Thu-Sat).
This means, you still get to have fun and eat out with friends and family over the weekend. This is usually such a big problem to most people on a diet. They tend to feel miserable during social occasions where they constantly have to worry about breaking their diet. No more of that! Again, the low carbohydrate + high protein diet during the weekdays are not so hard if you stick to a meat + egg + fibrous vegetables based diet as they tend to leave you satiated.
I highly recommend people read the Ultimate Diet 2.0
So thats as far as my training and diet go, now onto the question which I get asked the most. What supplements will I use over the next 2 months?
1. Pro Complex protein - Why? Because its a perfect mix of high quality, slow digesting protein which means the body has a continous supply of amino acids. This is good because the body will not lose muscle.
2. Carlson's Fish oil
3. NO-Xplode: I use NO-Xplode before my workout because its a good mix of creatine, Nitric Oxide and stimulants(fat burners) so its much easier to train hard on a low calorie diet.
4. ZMA: ZMA is combination of Zinc, Magnesium and Vitamin B6. I use this before I sleep as it helps maintain a healthy immune system, tissue repair and promote sleep quality. It also helps increasing testosterone levels.
5. I also recommend using a good multi-vitamin. I use this one.
Thats it! I hope everyone has a plan to get beach ready! Remember, if you fail to plan, you plan to fail.
