Christian von Loeffelholz examines the most promising nutrition strategies for bodybuilders. He compares traditional muscle-building methods (high protein, low fat) with new approaches (high carbohydrates with increased fat content, anabolic diet, zig-zag diet), highlighting their advantages and disadvantages while providing many practical tips. With the same diligence, he compares fat loss strategies for bodybuilders: strictly calorie-reduced diets, strictly low-fat diet forms, variations of the ketogenic diet, and cyclical diets with variations of food separation. He presents the principles of fat reduction, investigates the influencing factors on fat burning, and the effects of training on fat loss. The book includes a section on competition preparation. It features over 200 references, is written in a relaxed style, and includes many practical examples and tables.
