Jodie Marsh, the former contestant from Big Brother UK, has made headlines worldwide this week when she created a totally new body and competerd
in an amateur bodybuilding event. She trimmed down from a size 12 to a
size 5 in 8 weeks.
Her workout and diet secret and how to make it work for you?
She ate “15 egg whites and seven protein shakes a day - cutting
carbohydrates out of her diet entirely.” Jodie claims to have gone from
25% body fat to 10% in the eight week blitzkrieg workout. Jodie worked
out with a personal trainer in Essex, Tim Sharp.
Her workouts were intense and till failure. She reportedly did 3 hours of training doing 2 hours of weights work and 1 hour of cardio.
Her six pack, how did she got it!
Her personal trainer Tim Sharp has helped train top amateur bodybuilders and have trained with many
professional bodybuilders.
The nutrition plan Jodie went on is what’s called a
pre-contest diet. Actually, you can’t go 8 weeks without any carbs. When
you’re dieting for fat loss you have to workout and do your cardio and
eat a high protein diet while lowering sodium and carbohydrates. Sodium
retains water - it’s also an integral electrolyte, so sodium is only
tapered off the last week before the show.
How much protein you should be eating when you’re
training for muscle hypertrophy - which means putting on muscle while
trying to lose body fat.
You don’t have to go so overboard to get the Jodie
Marsh look - carbohydrates are important, that's the good news When it comes to carbs make
sure they’re complex carbohydrates like brown rice and potatoes - that means they release glucose at a
much slower rate than simple carbs. You’ll also wants carbs high in
fibre like legumes. If you eat egg whites or eggs with half a cup of
cooked lentils you’ll have 4 hours of food in you. You don’t need so
much protein. It's a misconception too.
Jodie Marsh trained very unconventional. She worked her weights with 30% of her 1RM and did 4 sets till failure. So training heavey is not necessary to build quality muscle and fat loss.
