The Competition Diet is a Challenging Preparation

Your competition diet is probably the most challenging part of contest preparation. Your workout can last for an hour or two but the competition diet requires you to stay focused 24 hours a day.

It will take strong willpower for your diet body building to be successful. Maintaining a contest diet is also expensive, requiring quality food, protein powders, MRP’s (meal replacements) and supplements.

Your ultimate goal with the competition diet is to lose the maximum amount of body fat while maintaining the maximum amount of lean muscle mass. However, be prepared to lose some muscle during this process. The ratio is typically 1 pound of muscle to every 3 pounds of body fat.
