By when I got to 21, I was 6 foot 1′ but if I had started juicing before I probably wouldn’t have. Now I felt ready both mentally and physically. I had learned to train the hard way without drugs and this gave me the determination to succeed. You just need to push yourself to the limit over a period of time and diet is crucial…I worked myself up to 7 daily meals.

It is a well-known fact that following training your body ability to synthesis protein is enhanced. It is also pretty well known that post training muscle tissue becomes more insulin sensitive and simple carbohydrates are more likely to replenish glycogen than be stored as body fat at this time.

To achieve optimum results from training, it is necessary that you must supply your body with all the correct vitamins and minerals as well as enough of the major components of the diet being proteins, carbohydrates and fats. These are called the ‘macro-nutrients’ of the diet as they are needed in much larger amounts compared to the micro-nutrients’ being the vitamins, minerals and other biological substances which are needed in much smaller amounts in the diet than are the ‘macro-nutrients’, but are found present in different amounts accompanying the macro-nutrients in food.
