IFBB Figure Diet
Finally making the decision to compete in a figure competition is a great goal. But, finding the perfect diet to lose fat for your figure competition can be a difficult task. Many first time figure competitors like to implement and IFBB figure diet because they are structured and detailed.
In this short, yet VERY informative article I am going to reveal some cool tips and tricks on how you can lose fat and gain muscle on the perfect figure competition diet.
Many first time figure competitors make the mistake of cutting their calories too much too soon. While they may lose some scale weight the first week or two, the weight loss is QUICKLY subsided because the body “thinks” it is not going to continually receive a sufficient number of calories and nutrients.
The trick with the first week of figure competition diet prep is to lower the calories below maintenance for about 2 weeks, then increase them slightly again. In doing this, you trick your body into burning 3 times as much body fat as cutting calories alone.
The REAL secret behind perfect IFBB figure diet is the quality of the calories the figure pros eat. Many first time figure competitors tend to diet on too much processed food including canned and boxed food items. To really shed body fat quickly and easily, choose natural foods, fresh or frozen would be your best choices. Boxed and canned food items are LOADED with chemicals, sodium, sugar, and other elements that cause you to gain and hold body fat.
Once you have your calories and macro-nutrients in order and are eating a clean diet, free of processed and refined foods, your next step is to start scheduling your meals. The top-placing figure competitors and figure pros eat like clockwork to train their body to lose fat and build muscle. An IFBB figure diet can’t be left to chance. You have to eat your scheduled meals on time. Part of figure competition success is in how you train your body via feeding it to force it to lose body fat. It’s all in dieting control and trickery.
Finally, one fun way to make your IFBB figure diet manageable is to schedule yourself a guilt-free cheat day once a week. A scheduled and controlled cheat day allows you to have the foods you have been craving and it will boost your calories and carbs for one day. This injection of calories tricks your body into burning up to 87% MORE calories, in turn, burning more body fat.
