First Step in Contest Dieting Is Conditioning Your Metabolism Fast

Dieting Correctly for Your Contest Is A Lot More Than Just Cutting Your Calories and Not Eating Pizza
It should go without saying thatur diet is an extremely important part of contest preparation. The way you eat during your journey will have the greatest impact–bar none–on the quality of the physique you’ll ultimately present on stage.
Here are the two definitions I use for the word “diet” as they refer to your contest preparation nutritional program:
One definition for the word “diet” is to eliminate (or drastically reduce) the amount of non-healthy “junk” food meals that you eat. All of your meals (or the great majority of them) should include only the standard bodybuilding foods such as lean meats, egg whites, unprocessed starchy carbohydrates; vegetables, protein powders and meal replacements .
In addition to eliminating certain foods while you are dieting, eating properly at this time means eating enough of the right foods at the most efficient times during the day in order to build muscle mass and lose body fat.
The other definition I use for the word “diet” would still include the elimination of non-healthy foods but, in this particular definition, this type of dieting also means that you eat in a calorie-deprived manner. In other words, you intentionally eat fewer calories than your body will burn every day.
It’s important to understand that, just because you refrain from eating delicious, non-healthy foods, you will not necessarily shed your body fat and get shredded for a contest–no matter how long you cut out those foods from your nutritional program. You must gradually and subtly “starve” yourself a little in order to drop your body fat levels.
The first step of your contest diet is conditioning your metabolism to run faster and more efficiently. But don’t reduce your calories too much too far out from your contest. You should eat as much “clean” food as possible when you start your diet. That way, you have more room to gradually reduce your daily caloric intake. As long as you are losing weight with food you are eating and have allowed plenty of time to get yourself ready for your contest, don’t worry about how much food you are eating.
To speed up your metabolism, you also need to start cleaning up your diet. By “cleaning up” I mean that you should greatly reduce (if not totally eliminate) unhealthy, non-bodybuilding, or “junk” meals. You must start eating all of your meals at well-planned, specifically-scheduled times throughout the day. That will get your metabolism running smoothly, efficiently, and like “clockwork.”
