If you hit a plateau, freak out and start doing marathon length cardio sessions- it overwhelms your body, forcing it to adapt far too early during the dieting process.
As I said earlier, body recomposition is a long game. If you do too much too early, you are left with nowhere to go during those last critical weeks before your show.
These are just two of the common mistakes people make when dieting down for a show.
If I had time I could rattle off a bunch more… After speaking to hundreds of personal coaching clients- it’s become painfully obvious that people need a resource to help them overcome the myriad of dietary pitfalls bound to happen when prepping for a show.
This is why we created “Adjusting a Meal Plan Made Simple”
Adjusting a Meal Plan Made Simple is a quickly read, step-by-step overview for anyone looking to make the most of their diet leading up to show…
We wrote it for two reasons…
To help you avoid and overcome that dreaded fat loss plateau far too many competitors experience and to help you gain muscle.
Here are a few things you’ll discover in this handy resource
1 The counter-intuitive dietary fix when your body absolutely refuses to shed anymore fat 2 How to systemically shave calories during a cut to ensure consistent fat loss. Far too many bodybuilders take an extreme approach to dieting during contest prep, vanquishing the progress they had made leading up to the show. We show you exactly what you need to do to whittle away body-fat without eating away at precious lean muscle mass. 3 The first thing to wean during a diet 4 How much extra to eat when trying to gain muscle 5 The exact formula to calculate how much to reduce your macronutrients so you don’t suffer from energy crashes that drain you of your motivation and willpower 6 A baseline for incorporating cardio into your contest prep.

Most bodybuilders really mess this up and it obvious the minute they step on stage.
This PDF book is excellent! It outlines the strategies for tweaking your diet for continued fat loss or muscle gain and how to achieve it. It tells you what to look for and gives some excellent dieting tips.
I wish it had more information on the starting setup - what macros to choose and why someone would want to go with certain macro breakdown over others. Despite this, the book does not fall short.
