#prepdiet

A lot of people ask Stacey about the health of a prep diet of a physique competitor.  It’s a complicated question with a lot of factors to consider, i.e. who  writes the diet and the time spent in deficit and the health of the person on the diet (as every BODY is different)...this is a great, comprehensive article about a lot of considerations by the person writing the diet.  

No, I did not simply wake up like this... I have become obsessed - not with a certain look or a six pack - obsessed with upgrading my life in every single aspect✨ I am not a fan of clean diets, white fish and caloric deficits, but I am addicted to #challenges ! ✨ My professional career in Academics never challenged me. Write an award-winning PhD thesis? Ya...done. Publish scientific book chapters? mkay... Guest editor for a journal? Sure can do that. It never fullfilled me or gave me a feeling of accomplishment. ✨ By now, for a full year, I have been challenging myself in a way I never did before. From a full summer of self-coached #powerbuilding towards competing in powerlifting to a structured #bodybuildingoffseason and a 17 weeks competition #prepdiet ... and moving around the word - once again. The mental aspect of this sport is what #challenges me the most and what keeps me going at the same time. I refuse to be average and I refuse to let myself down. Instead of asking for things to be easier, I ask myself to be better! Every day! ✨ I did not just wake up like this, I WOKE UP LIKE THIS BECAUSE I DECIDED TO DO SO! ✨✨✨ #mindsetofgreatness #blowmymindset #livelikecatie #motivation #levelup 📷 some day in April 2019...
