Powervision’s Cut Diet
Hi all,
Since a lot of people have inquired about my pre-contest diet/cut plan, i’ve decided to deliver. Before I lay it out, I need to make clear that these portions of food are designed for my metabolism/bodyweight, and should merely be used as a guideline. I have used this diet for two contests now. The first time I used it I dropped 45lbs in 14 weeks. My most recent cut was more gradual 17lbs in 11 weeks. This diet is used in conjunction with cardiovascular activity and intensive weight training. Here it is:
Meal 1: 12 egg whites; 1 cup dry oats (~54g carbs; can substitute 2 scoops of whey for the eggs)
Meal 2: 7oz chicken, 6oz carbs
Meal 3: 7oz steak, 5oz carbs
Meal 4: 7oz chicken, 5oz carbs
Meal 5: 7oz chicken, 4 oz carbs
Meal 6: 7oz chicken (or 12 egg whites) with 10 almonds
Nothing fancy; green vegetables are optional throughout meals. Multi-vitamin and high water intake is highly recommended.
Any questions feel free to ask.

Thanks for posting this, it’s interesting to me what kind of diets competitors follow prior to competition and it gives me ideas on what kinds of adjustments I need to make with mine as well!

Thanks for posting your diet. Good to see that folks on bodyspace are willing to give advice and I like that you stated that this should be a guideline. A lot of people forget that their bodytype, metabolism, training, etc. will be different from others. Thanks for the ideas.

Interesting.
Do you ever carb up on this cut diet? When would you time your workouts — I can’t imagine doing an intense workout or cardio session without having at least some complex carbs afterwards…… my fear of going all catabolic is far too great! Thanks for the post.
