My story:

For the past year and a half, I had been trying to get as big and strong as possible. In the process, I gained quite a bit of fat. I decided it was time to diet down and get ripped! I wanted to prove to others that I could do it - I could get into the best shape of my life.

However, I knew that if I was serious - I needed a goal. I needed some accountability. I decided I would compete in a bodybuilding show..

Diet principles:

I started a super clean diet at 15 weeks out from the contest date. I used a normal 5 day training split. My diet was very strict with the exception of one cheat meal every week.

I used a carbohydrate cycling program - 2 days of moderate carbs and moderate protein followed by two days of low carbs and high protein. I did not eat any processed food. I ate six meals per day - and made sure I had plenty of protein with each meal.
