You’ve got eight weeks to train your ass off and get as ripped and muscular as you’ve ever been. Your gym work is obviously critical to your outcome, but your diet may be even more important. We’ve designed your RHC nutrition plan with this in mind.
You may be tempted to cut out all carbs immediately to lose as much fat as possible, but this can backfire. Dropping calories and carbs too drastically—and too soon—can slow your metabolism enough to derail your fat loss. Instead, we’re starting your diet with higher calories and carbs,and we’ll drop them as you go.
Protein intake comes out of the blocks high and stays that way—at about 1.5 grams per pound of body weight. Don’t eliminate fat, either. Fat intake is essential for maintaining high testosterone levels, so keep your fat levels as prescribed in our sample diets.
