Diet:
Intermittent fasting style diet (16 hours fast / 8 hours eating , fasted workouts). I will not go into details about this protocol as there are tons of articles about it all over the net. And you'll find some interesting articles of mine on my blog when it's finally up.

- 500g protein
- 400g carbohydrates
- 50g fats
Protein sources are lean meats, egg whites, whey protein, low-fat curd cheese, yogurt
Carbs sources are veggies and fruits, oats, rice, yogurt
Fats sources are fish oil, macadamia nut oil, fish, olive oil, walnuts
I got rid of my lactose-fructose-phobia a long time ago and I'm glad I did. Has no effect on my form whatsoever but makes eating much more fun as I've loved fruit and dairy since I was a kid. I also always make sure I eat at least 4lbs of veggies per day no matter what my goal is, except for the last days prior to shows. Most people underestimate the importance of proper nutrition which comes into play as even more important when on a steroid cycles. Want to cleanse your body? Need liver support? Antioxidants? Better digestion? Improved cholesterol levels? Vegetables will provide all of that. But surely eating 100 grams of broc per day isn't going to have much effect, just like you won't try bulking with 10mgs of steroids per day. Your body needs real food to function properly. I hate it when I see kids trying to bulk up, living on protein bars and weight gainer shakes. The only thing you're going to achieve with such diet is possible long term digestive issues and malnutrition as long as you don't supplement your diet with a whole bunch of micronutrients and fiber.
