If you are a true,,, TRUE natural

[wes]

I love when people talk about eating 'bland' diets!  

Steak
Chicken
Fish
Eggs
Eggwhites
Dairy
Veggies
Good Fats

The above food should be eaten by every bodybuilder most of the time except for cheat days or cheat meals................enh anced or all natural.......doesn`t matter.

What`s wrong with eating baked chicken,potatoes or rice,and a nice salad as one of your meals?

You gotta` make some sacrifices to look good.......you`ll never look like a bodybuilder by living on canned ravioli,Fruit-Loops,and cookies......if it was easy,everyone would look great!

I never said eating better was bland, I actually think meats are the tastiest of foods, but you do need to cut out on cookies, pizzas, ice cream and all that in order to control calories and satiation better, specially if youre not taking fat loss drugs.

In the end, the habits you create for yourself will make you, I just dont want to eat sweets and pizzas anymore, Id have one every once in a while but all in all my new life style is satisfying for me.

My breakfast every morning:

5 Egg Whites
1 Whole Egg
1oz Fat free cheese
(usually make scrambled, or omlette.  I will throw green chilies in there or jalepeno peppers)

2.5 oz ground turkey made like breakfast sausage (with cayenne, sage, fennel, and salt) - if I am too lazy to make the breakfast patties I will scramble eggs up with turkey

1.5oz frosted flakes with splash of Silk milk


Metabolic....seriously, I eat ALL that shit on my cheat day....I am actually leaner now than I ever walked around at non-contest.  So many people ask "why sacrifice it during the week, why not just eat a little every day"....because I like to play chemistry set with my body in regards to the calorie cycling....and what insulin and leptin responses are with change in food quantity/type

** edit - WTF was turkey burkey?  LOL

Cool, cheat days are meant for that and I know that, but you NEED to switch habits if youre natural.  You need to stay at energetic deficits to lose fat, you need to control hunger, etc.  I mean, most people eat like shit, chances are you will have to make big changes, maybe its not your case (are you on dat celltech?)

Also, cheat days are controlled and rational, its not just endulging in a rampage of food.

Shit,that`s a damn good meal for bodybuilding purposes and not dry or bland in any way shape or form.

The only time eating super strict is a true necessity is before a contest....then a strict regimen should be followed to look your best onstage.

Eating a nice steak,with rice,cottage cheese, and some green beans is far from a sacrifice.

Exactly,or at least they should be controlled somewhat.

I respectfully disagree....I switched to doing that starting the very day I swore off competing October 2008.  My clean days are 1900cals, my cheat days are the same, up till last meal.  My cheat meal is usually about 1200cals.  My cheat days have swelled from 6000cals to now about 8500cals.  I am STARVING monday morning when I wake up. 

I do cardio 4x per week...in the morning...just because i like to watch some TV and catch up on taped shows.  I train 4 - 5x per week.  Nothing special....

How do you set up your diet?
How do you train (always relatively heavy)?
Do you rely heavily on supplementation?
Do you stay relatively lean? Can it be done?

My thought exactly bro.

At times,I`ve looked better competing than at other times,but regardless,I always did the best I could to look as good as I possibly could.

After all,you are really competing against your last best conditioning/showing....you have no control over other competitors and how they will look anyway.

If I were a competing pro Id anonymously mail to all the other guys a huge chocolate cake every day of their lives to be delivered in their own doors at around 3 pm.

[dj181]

Nothing but EC Stack, which may be considered not natural, which I kind of agree with.

so is this still considered natty?

at this condition i was using an ECA supp

and i was eating chessegbugers, fries, KFC, taco hell etc

but instead of 3 burritos and 2 tacos i ate 1 burrito and 1 taco, and instead of a triple with chesse, large fry, and a large coke, i ate a double with cheese and a iced tea, etc

[njflex]
