If you are considering entering or have already entered a bikini contest then you will probably know the importance of diet to get you stage ready.
In this article I’m going to share some key rules you should follow if you want to get stage ready for a bikini contest, or if you simply want to get a bikini body for summer!
Here’s how to optimize your diet and nutrition plan for a bikini contest or bikini show.
Carb Cycle to Get Bikini Show/Contest Ready
Carb cycling for fat loss and weight loss has become extremely popular and for good reason. It makes up the majority of my meal plans in the 90 Day Bikini program and basically allows you to pin-point your intake of carbs for when you need them.
Rather than being all or nothing, either going low-carb or low-fat/high carb for your bikini prep or diet, it makes more sense to periodize your intake. This way, you avoid the potential negatives of a low carb diet and those of a high carb, low fat diet. As you may know, both have many pros, but they both have weaknesses too.
Thinking logically, wouldn’t it make more sense to combine both into one diet? This way, you get the benefits of both, without the negatives! If you agree, then here’s an example weekly intake based on a popular lower, upper, rest day training split using carb cycling.
