Lifetime Natural Bodybuilder. Pre Contest Diet Changes 1. Weeks Out - Tightening Things up! Tom Venuto. Friday, July 8th, 2. For the past three weeks, I’ve been on what you could call a “clean” diet, but it was far from strict, low calorie or low carb - it was more like a “pre- diet diet”. You can see my 1. July 2nd. After an “official” weigh- in today and an un- official body fat test, it’s definitely time to tighten things up. Here’s what’s changed. I will now begin carb cycling with medium carb days of 2. The carbs will probably go even lower (1. Note: 1. 50 grams is a very low carb diet for me. You wouldn’t like me when I eat less carbs than that : ) My early day meals will contain the starchy carbs (mainly oatmeal and yams, sometimes white potatoes or rice, especially after workouts), and my late day meals will contain the fibrous carbs (green veggies & salad veggies), with the essential fats. Protein stays constant in every meal. I’ve bumped up my essential oil supplement to two tablespoons a day in conjunction with the drop in carbs. If I feel like it, I’ll substitute 1 of the tablespoons of oil for natural peanut butter instead (why? Because it keeps the dietary. I need it and tastes damn good when you’re on a diet!) I know some bodybuilders who use cream for their pre- contest fat instead. That can make a nice protein shake if you mix it with protein powder, but I use whole foods over shakes most of the time (go figure. I also get some fat. I eat red meat once every day. The rest of the fat is incidental in my chicken breasts, oatmeal, etc. Whatever works for you. In any case, you want to keep *some* fat in the diet, and the lower your carbs go, the more fat you can eat, within reason. I do NOT like ketogenic diets (close to zero carb, or very low carb/high fat). In fact, I think they suck. I’m not saying they won’t or can’t get you ripped, I’m just saying in my opinion, I think they suck for hard training bodybuilders. Adaptation to low carbs and. You can sometimes remedy the energy problems by taking the fats way up, but I find that a diet over 2. I prefer a cyclical low carb diet with very high protein (for healthy bodybuilders!!! I would not advise copying my precontest diet for general weight loss purposes. When you’re training hard and doing cardio, believe me 2. I’ll undoubtedly be headed soon), is very low. I just can’t understand why anyone would want to drop to 1. Right now my carb cycle is 3 days medium carbs (2. This is still not that strict, it’s only the first adjustment. Here’s the “medium carb days” where I will be 6 out of every 8 days. That’s down another pound since last week. This was wearing only a t- shirt and sweatpants, no shoes. I unfortunately haven’t had anyone around to take my body fat with the Skyndex (4- site digital body fat skinfold caliper), although there are some trainers at our club that will volunteer for me. I would normally have Richie measure me, as it’s important to have a skilled tester for consistent measurements, but I haven’t been able to connect with him as often as I’d like. So what I did instead this week was to break out my Accu measure caliper. I often recommend the Accu- measure for other people, but for me it doesn’t offer as much precision as I need. Only measuring one skinfold site (iliac crest) doesn’t work well for a bodybuilder who is shooting for low single digit body fat, because some of the. I find that once my iliac crest is down to 2mm or so in thickness, I still have fat in other areas that could be measured with a multi site test, but at this point, the Accu- measure has “bottomed out.” You might see a 1. Anyway, just for kicks, I measured my iliac crest with the Accu measure and it was 6. Not so good actually. If I use the age categories on the accu measure skinfold interpretation chart (I’m 3. Which would be quite high (for a bodybuilder at this point). I would put myself closer to 8% if I had to guess! For example, if I were to use the age 2. Body composition testing is obviously not an exact science. Usually the best bet is to pick one method, use the same tester every time and stick with them for consistency. Next week, hopefully, I’ll get measured accurately with a 4- site test and I’ll log in the results consistently every week after that. But for whatever it’s worth, I know my self- tested iliac crest skinfold is 6 mm, so I do have lots of work to do to get that sucker down to 2 mm or less! Honestly, I don’t really need to test body fat anymore. After 2. 6 competitions, I know exactly when I’m ready by looking in the mirror. I can even tell if I’m getting leaner just by pinching the skin on my abs and waistline with my fingers. The goal is to have what I call “Saran wrap” skin. That is, the skin is so thin that it almost appears translucent and literally “clings” to the muscles underneath. If you pull it away from the abdominal muscles, it literally snaps right back! I’m still keeping my cardio at one session a day, usually 3. I went 3. 5 minutes on the stairmaster 4. PT, level 7 and level 8 at the end, and that was good for burning 5. Was drenched in sweat after that one! That was steady, by the way, not interval. Which is better? Which burns more fat??? Doesn’t take a Ph. D. Did I mention, DUH!!!????). Until next time, train hard, eat right and forget about those silly zero carb diets. If you want to know more about my carbohydrate cycling method, go get a copy of my ebook, Burn The Fat, Feed the Muscle Check out chapter 1. After reading that, you will be an expert at carb manipulation for getting as ripped as you want to be! The carb cycling method I explain in my book is really the most sensible and intelligent way to do low carb, in my opinion. Pre Contest Diet Changes 1. Weeks Out. Tom Venuto. Friday, July 2. 9th, 2. Things are on schedule and looking good. I weigh 1. 96 lbs today. I’ve been losing weight slowly, but that’s intentional as I’ve been known to lose too quickly in the past and come in shredded but flat and kind of “stringy- looking.” Gotta keep the size and thickness, but over the next few weeks I definitely need to kick the fat loss up a notch, so I’ve made a few adjustments (slight decrease in calories and carbs on low days.)My new carb cycle is 3 days low carbs (approx 2. This is my second adjustment (downward) in carbs so far. I’m not a really low carb kind of guy, I prefer moderate reduction in carbs and a lot of cardio. That’s what works best for me and my body type. When I go very low in the carbs, I completely “deflate” and look flat. For me, 2. 00 grams IS low carbs, and 1. VERY low carbs (and is about the lowest I’ll go). Even on very very low carbs, I don’t seem to get lean without a lot of cardio. My body simply responds to the cardio more than carbohydrate manipulation. I know some people are the reverse (cut carbs and don’t do much cardio), so it’s important to understand your own body and how it responds. There’s no doubt - I DO get leaner with as reduction in carbs, just not a severe reduction. As of earlier this week, the diet now looks something like this: Meal 1: 6: 4. Meal 2: 9: 3. 0 am. Meal 3: 1. 2: 3. 0 pm. Meal 4: 3: 0. 0 pm. Meal 5: 5: 3. 0 pm. Meal 6: 8: 0. 0 pm. Alaskan salmon. 8 oz asparagus 1 tbsl udos oil or flaxseed oil. My high days are the same as before (LOVE those high days: 3. I’ve decreased my oatmeal from 1 cup to 3/4 cup, and decreased the size of the yam (I weigh the yam before cooking to make sure it’s exact). I don’t weigh my food year- round, but before contests, I want to know my carb intake to the gram. You’ll notice that the basic structure of my low carb days is that the first three meals are protein and starchy carb (high carb) meals, and the last three meals are protein, fibrous carb and fat meals (fat from beef, natural peanut butter or udos oil/flaxseed oil). It’s important to keep some fats in the diet as the carbs go lower. I’ve found that approx 2. Higher fat diets don’t seem to do much else for me. I was hungry a few weeks ago when I first shifted from the off season diet to lower carbs, but since I’ve cut the carbs and calories again, oddly enough, I haven’t really been hungry. So far, I’m actually eating more than in previous years and still getting leaner. I’m not concerned with getting lean enough; I can always come in shredded, no problem. The challenge is to come in shredded and FULL. I’ve been looking a little flat by the 3rd day of low carbs (even “medium” carbs), and the pumps haven’t been as good as they could be, but I suppose that’s to be expected. I’ll be keeping an eye on my condition and it I’m perpetually flat and I feel like I’m losing size after being on 2. I’ll probably take 2 high carb days rather than one, or pull back on the cardio a bit. When I started several weeks ago, I immediately began with 3. I’m now doing 4. 5 minutes of cardio, 7 days a week, at moderate to moderately high intensity.
