When it comes to bodybuilding, diet is usually a major point of contention. On top of that, some eating plans cut out certain items that some people really love. On the other hand, Arnold Schwarzenegger proposed his “Anti-diet Diet Plan” in his latest newsletter as a unique approach to nutrition that does not include the elimination of any particular food.
In his prime, the Austrian Oak followed a certain diet as well. The nutrition issue, however, was equally popular in his ‘village,’ so he felt compelled to respond.
He did provide an alternative method to a proper diet, but with a few small restrictions:
“Research suggests that reducing three types of food (without fully restricting them) can lead to more weight loss and better health outcomes, such as lower blood sugar and blood pressure.”
Sugars, ultra-processed meals, and refined grains were the three items Schwarzenegger recommended avoiding. But, as per the Austrian Oak, there’s a limit to how much one can eat these foods. He also mentioned that, in the long term, a person would regain the weight they lost when they entirely cut out a particular food.
As per the seven-time Mr. Olympia, a certain diet was never going to be the best option. He went on to say that how dietary preferences are based upon the choice of an individual, favoring a high-carb or low-carb diet. He further stressed the quality of the food is the most important factor, and not the food is consumed.
In his advice to his ‘village,’ the Austrian Oak said they shouldn’t cut off any foods. He emphasizes the need to understand the causes of overeating in relation to an individual, as these elements vary for everyone.
The calorie intake is the most important factor, as Arnold Schwarzenegger pointed out. According to the Austrian Oak, everyone should pay close attention to their calorie intake. Subsequently, he elaborates on how the only way to achieve a healthy diet is to reduce calorie intake:
“After all, every diet that works does so by the same method: caloric restriction.”
Arnold Schwarzenegger reveals the ultimate diet plan to his ‘village’
All a fitness fanatic wants is a diet plan. Plus, there was that time Arnold Schwarzenegger gave his ‘village’ a nutrition plan. Along with stressing the need for consistent exercise, he strongly said that one must also adhere to a healthy diet on a regular basis. According to Schwarzenegger’s gathered study, all diets, whether low-carb or low-fat, led to healthy outcomes.
A good quantity of fat reduction has always been the result of consuming calories according to a constant diet. He also stressed the importance of a regular diet, saying that those who ate more vegetables and protein-based meals had better outcomes. Schwarzenegger has pointed out that the secret to success is not what people eat but rather how consistently one cuts down on calories.
