I was in the National Institute of Broadcasting for acting.
I often look serious, but I am actually a clown and I love to laugh.

 

How would I describe myself: Outgoing, friendly, funny, athletic, intelligent, sensitive, driven, focused, caring.

 

This is an example of the diet format that I follow when preparing for a show.

 

On-season diet Plan: Beginning 10 weeks out from show.

 

Meal 1: 8 egg whites
˝ cup oatmeal
2 teaspoons of flax oil
teaspoon of fish oil

 

Meal 2: 8 egg whites or protein shake depending on where I am contest.
˝ cup oatmeal

 

Meal 3: 4oz chicken breast
1 cup brocolli or spnach

 

Meal 4: Protein Shake or 4oz chicken breast depending on where I am contest

 

Meal 5: Post – training
Protein Shake 
2 caramel rice cakes

 

Meal 6: 5oz chicken breast
1 cup brocolli or spinach

 

Every 5 days- I boost my carbs by adding in 1 cup of yams and another serving of
Oatmeal. This keeps my metabolism from slowing down.

 

I may also substitute some salmon or extra lean steak 1x every 7-10 days for some Extra fats. I find it keeps my cravings down.

 

I allow my self scheduled cheats up until 3 weeks out. I will only reward myself if my body is on schedule for the goals I have set. For example if I have dieting for 4 weeks and I achieve my goal body fat for that point or if I am ahead of schedule than I will allow a cheat. I might then allow myself some pizza or a piece of cheesecake. I will also use this as my high day then as well.

 

Not everyone can do this. I am fortunate to be blessed with a fast metabolism that enables me to lose fat very fast. Once I am 3 weeks out, I do not allow any more of these cheats as I don’t want to retain water from the sodium.

 

A lot of my dieting is now instinctive because I know my body really well. I pick up on subtle signals and I make changes accordingly.

 

Supplements: L-Glutamine- 10grams per day
Vitamin C 2000mg per day
Vitamin E 1000 Iu per day
B- complex 1 time per day
Multi vitamin – divided 3 x per day
Calcium- 1000mg divided 3 x per day
Greens supplement – 1 x in morning
Folic Acid- 1mg per day
Adrenal Support Formula- 3 x per day
Meltdown or Metabolean Thermogenic 2 x per day on 2 day on 1 day Off.
Protein shakes until 3 weeks out then I replace it with solid food.

 

I also drink about 5-8 Liters of water per day. The week of the show I usually drink 8-10 Liters per day before I start cutting back on my water on the Friday before the show.
