Hello everybody!

Today I want to share with you one of my diet while I'm on preparation for bodybuilding/fitness show.
Today I will write about first phase of diet, when I am at the beginning of lowering carbs...

When you decide to compete in fitness and bodybuilding, you need to be ready for a heavy diet what is not so easy.

I already wrote about on-season and off-season.
On-season is period where you need to get ready for competition. So this is article about first phase of On-season

In this phase I slowly start to train harder, with more reps in each series.
Later i start to do two training sessions a day if it's necessary.

Why two training per day?

When you are working on fat loss, you need to boost your metabolism.
The best way to boost your metabolism every day is to do some exercises right in the morning.
So, when I'm in competition preparation i love to do one morning training and one at the evening.

Diet

Well, this is the hardest part of everything!
Actually, not at the begining, but later, as the end come closer, it's getting harder and harder.

So, first phase of dieting is lowering carbs. It should be slowly, step by step reducing carbs.
This means that every week should gradually reduce some amount of carbohydrates.

Let's say that before diet you take 300 grams of carbs per day.
first week of diet you need to reduce carbs intake to 250 grams per day, next week you will take 220 grams, third week 180...

Why do you need to do it gradually, not suddenly?
Because we do not want to afford our body a shock!
How the body would not be surprised and would have an opposite effect, you need to do it gradually.

Also, with carbs reducing, we need to start slowly raise a fat intake (healthy fat like: eggs, olive oil...)

Meals

This is an example of one of my daily menu:

Meal 1:

• 3 eggs, 200 grams of chicken and 70 grams of oats

Meal 2:

• protein shake with dextrose (after training)

Meal 3:

• chicken breast with 100 grams of rice

Meal 4:

• cotton chese with nuts

Meal 5:

• protein shake

Meal 6:

• chicken breast with vegetables

Meal 7:

• cotton chese with some nuts

Daily menu depends from person to person.
It is necessary to adjust diet to the weight, metabolism and years.
