The Fitness Model Diet

Plus System
Learning to Diet in a Healthier Way

If you have a photo-shoot, an acting part, a speaking engagement, a wedding, or a highschool reunion etc. this diet will improve your health and put you right on target quickly an easily. Unlike most diets you will not experience a massive rebound in weight gain once you stop. In fact, you will find that the principles behind this diet can easily be incorporated in your everyday life to maintain an impressive physique all year round.

My unique system contains a two diets in one plan; The Fitness Model Diet and the Extreme Pre-Contest Diet.  The Fitness Model Diet provides specific guidelines that are designed to build the proper foundation to achieve genuine health & vitality. The Extreme Pre-Contest Diet is a powerful weight loss tool that is used 6-8 weeks prior to whatever event, contest, or function you would like to get as lean as possible for.

There are several reasons why two diets are necessary to make one complete system:

  1. You can’t lose weight in order to become healthy because you need to get healthy first in order to lose weight, and my Fitness Model Diet provides specific guidelines to help you accomplish this. I refer to this basic truth as the “big secret” of the health and fitness industry. iiiiiiiii111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111iiii
  2. Staying on diets that are designed to keep you exceptionally lean for extended periods do not work well, and inevitably lead to negative repercussions on your health. This will inhibit future weight loss attempts. The Extreme Pre-Contest Diet is a safe and effective tool to help you lose extreme amounts of body fat for a temporary period of time. iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
  3. Utilizing both diets will solve the common yo-yo problem associated with most diets.

When I need to get in extreme shape without jeopardizing my health, this is the diet that I, and many other fitness professionals, turn to.

It's easy to follow and the results speak for themselves.

I followed Rick's Extreme Pre-Contest diet while competing in 2008 and it helped me get in great shape. Learning that I could eat so many great tasting foods and good fats while still losing weight made dieting much easier. Thanks Rick.

While getting ready for the 2008 WTF Las Vegas show, Rick's diet really kept my energy levels high while I rapidly lost body fat. It's the best diet I have ever followed and I was really pleased with the results. It's so easy and full of flavor that I can still follow it while off season from competing.

For the first time ever I was able to diet without wanting to kill everyone. Rick's dieting principles made me much less irritable and gave me more energy than the previous ways that I tried before.

I was just starting as the host of a show on ESPN2 called, Outdoor PlayGround, and I had 4 weeks to get in my best shape. I consulted with Rick and started learning about things like protein, portions, water and of course fiber as key elements. I was choosing foods and reading labels like never before. That was the educational part, which you have to expect from Rick. I‘ve known Rick for almost 20 years and during most of it he’s been studying holistic nutrition and body building while talking stunning photo’s along the way. Rick was using words like stevia, almond butter and flax seed long before other people I know were saying them.

In all seriousness, if you respect someone’s advice, you take it. I did and I followed Rick’s recommendations about meals, changed the format of reps in my workout and listened about the true value of “raw” foods. Rick gave me great knowledge and direction ... and I needed it. I was going to be shirtless along side professional athletes half my age, and I didn’t want to look like a tub of butter. Thanks Rick!

Why Achieving Good Health Is Essential for Genuine Weight Loss
Contrary to popular belief, the models we see featured in most magazines, infomercials, or ads, etc. do NOT stay in ultra-ripped condition all year round as we are led to believe. Athletes that are ripped to the bone usually work very hard to look that way for short periods of time.  Staying completely shredded without holding any water is not a healthy long-term practice.  It is temporary and everyone who has ever been in extremely lean condition knows this to be true.

The Secret Exposed
If enough people were educated about this simple secret it would devastate the multi-billion dollar Health & Fitness industry as we know it.  It would also force the people in charge to incorporate more legitimate motives in their practice. Although the “secret” I am suggesting is in direct conflict with the current theories and practices of conventional medicine and nutrition, I assure you it is the truth:

Genuine weight loss, the kind that lasts and improves health, can NOT be found by counting calories, calculating your base metabolic rate (BMR), gobbling down random bottles of vitamins and other supplements, or by following some generalized diet or meal plan system. Genuine weight loss can only be reached by creating GENUINE HEALTH - As unbelievable as that statement might sound, it's true.

As I revealed earlier, we’ve got the weight loss scenario backwards:

You see, you can't lose weight to get healthy because you must become healthy first in order to lose weight, and this is the prime objective of the Fitness Model Diet.

Of course I am referring to genuine weight loss, not the glamorized crap being packaged and sold to us in countless, advertisements, infomercials, and popular television shows. These diets do produce weight loss, but this is short-term management and ultimately leads to the yo-yo dieting syndrome. Diets based on losing weight without establishing a true foundation of health have nothing to do with creating long-term weight loss or vitality.

Why Staying at Extremely Low Body Fat Levels Isn’t Healthy
The dieting practices utilized by most bodybuilders and fitness models definitely work. However, these practices generally do not equate to good health. “Healthy” magazines and infomercials that showcase bodybuilders and fitness models in incredibly striated, ripped and shredded conditions are really presenting an unrealistic version of health. They are really selling a fantasy of health because the models who painstakingly diet and train to get into this kind of extreme shape are ironically sacrificing their health to provide you with this inspiring fantasy.  There is no doubt that a chiseled physique is both motivational and inspirational, but we should not be misled into believing that this type of condition is or should be regarded as truly healthy. Getting shredded requires great discipline and sacrifice and the stress acquired to achieve this incredible condition will begin to take its toll on the body if held for an extended period of time. That said, the principles needed to maintain a long-term condition like this would inevitably lead to negative repercussions on your health.

Why My Extreme Pre-Contest Diet Is the Only Tool You Need to Get as Lean as Possible
I created the basic outline of my extreme pre-contest diet for myself when I competed in a natural fitness show more than a decade ago, and at that time it helped me to win the best physique category. Since then my knowledge in diet safety has dramatically improved, and over the years I have been able to make my program safer and more effective. As a result, hundreds of fitness competitors, actors, and other professionals have successfully used this diet with fantastic results.

One of the biggest reasons I was compelled to develop a diet like this was because there was such a lack of knowledge in creating an effective diet that took genuine health needs into consideration. Let’s face it, most diets revolve strictly around the “calories in and calories out” mentality and leave out one huge & vital component; NUTRITION!

I realized a long time ago that if you want to learn how to change your body, there is no better person to consult than a competitive bodybuilder because no one knows how to change body composition more effectively than a bodybuilder. And fortunately for me I had access to some of the best bodybuilders in the world when I worked with magazines and companies like Muscle & Fitness, MuscleMag Int., Muscular Development, and Muscle Media 2000, Gold’s Gym, and MetRx, etc. There is no doubt that standard bodybuilding methods work, but at what cost to your health was always my concern. 

To understand how to become healthier, I began to consult some of the top nutritionists in the world. I read book after book from both conventional and holistic practitioners, attended lecture after lecture, and spent 4 years earning a masters of science in holistic nutrition to fully understand what creates genuine vitality & health.

The amount of information and misinformation available to the public is staggering and it’s taken me quite a long time to sift through the pieces of this enormous health puzzle and put it together in a way that makes logical sense on every level.

As I learned more about the human body and how it worked I realized that I could easily refine the general methods used by bodybuilders by making much smarter choices. In fact, during my studies I became quite fascinated by the bodybuilders of the 1930s to the 1950s for a very important reason; they had NO access to either supplements or steroids because they didn’t exist yet. This was significant because it meant that these guys had to rely solely on sound nutrition and exercise for their remarkable results. Without supplements or steroids this special era of bodybuilding produced impressive physiques by any standard of time.  The physiques of Jack Lallane, Vince Gronda, Steve Reeves, Armand Tanny, and John Grimek are timeless in aesthetics and muscular development.  At 94 years old, Lalanne is still functioning quite well both physically and mentally; a true testament to his lifestyle choices.

The bodybuilders of this time were part of an underground movement referred to as the Physical Culture, and they came to rely on innovative theories and ideas from a handful of nutritional pioneers of that time like Dr. Weston A. Price, Dr. Francis Pottenger, Dr. William Kelley, and Dr. Roger Williams, to name a few. The bodybuilders of that era acted like a collective think-tank driven by their passion to make greater gains. They were renegades charting unknown territory and were led by radical experimentation, logic, and most importantly; the TRUTH.

What I find most fascinating about this movement was that they quickly learned to ignore the conventional nutritional advice that was already bending to the pressures of big business and corporate greed. The Physical Culture realized that only a body in its healthiest state would allow for greater muscular gains. They wisely followed the blue prints left by the nutritional pioneers of their time and strictly avoided all processed foods, white flour products, and refined sugars. Instead they indulged in raw, whole foods, large amounts of fat, and natural animal products that included organ meat, raw dairy products and eggs.
