DIET

Diet Overview

The diet comprises a daily eating schedule that you will follow throughout the plan.
However, it is important you get to know your body, and that you can make adjustments if you
find you are putting on too much body fat.
There are three steps you can take to control body fat increases, trying them in steps until you
find the right balance for you.
Step 1: Exclude carbs from the Small Protein Snacks every day
Step 2: Introduce one Low Carb Day each week
Step 3: Introduce two Low Carb Days each week
Be aware of how these changes impact your body and use these methods to keep control
throughout the plan, introducing the steps as needed, or going back to the original diet plan as
they have the desired effect.
Mix up the foods in the plan, but keep it as close to what I recommended as possible to
maximise your results.
The times are suggested and to be used where possible, but can be adapted for differing
lifestyles - fitting all the food in is the most important aspect of the diet.

General Diet Tips

• Use the daily food plan as your guide, when to put carbs in and take them out.
• To give your body a break and make the program more enjoyable allow yourself a cheat meal once a
week e.g. a pizza, lasagne, or cheeseburger, with a dessert, for lunch or dinner.
• Remember it is always easier to prepare your food for each day. I know how easy it is to end up buying
something “off-plan” because it’s convenient!
• Remember to always keep it CLEAN – you want the gains to be muscle not fat!
• Avoid sauces as much as possible as a they carry a lot of fat, sugar and salt – make your own without
the additives – see my recipes for some examples.
• Mix up meats, fish, vegetables, nuts, & carbs but keep red meat to twice a week max and always
healthy natural foods.
• Keep the protein lean (chicken, turkey, pork and beef with fat trimmed off, tuna)and the vegetables
green.

Supplements
This is how I use supplements for maximum effect while bulking. I have developed this plan from trying out different
combinations and this is the way that I find works best.

MORNING (MEAL 1 / BREAKFAST)


• Mix 1 scoop of chocolate whey protein or chocolate casein with porridge oats. Mix with 50% water and 50% skimmed
milk. Add a few almonds for variety.

POST WORKOUT SHAKE


• 1 scoop of whey protein with water. If you are a hard gainer, mix 1 scoop of whey protein with 1 scoop of a clean
weight gainer (e.g. Accumulate from i-Supp) and water.

PRE- AND POST-WORKOUT


• BCAAs (dosage on bottle) 30 minutes before workout and the same right after workout

LATE NIGHT SNACK BEFORE BED


• 1 scoop of chocolate casein with water.

TIPS
• DON’T overdo the protein shakes as it is a waste – better to gain weight with natural foods.
• Post-workout shake: Depending on what time you train will dictate when you have this. Simply swap the shake for whatever
meal is around the time of your session and have the other meal at another time.
• Make sure you are having protein shakes mainly on training days and post workout.

Additional diet and recipe tips

• I use cottage cheese to liven up a dry uninteresting meal or snack – onion and chives is a good one
• Keep variety in your eating – there are plenty of ways to liven up the basic diet. I have included a few
examples at the end of this section or visit my website for more recipes, updated regularly
• However, keep the majority of meals quite plain – e.g. always have a plain mid-day meal without
sauces, but use one of my recipes for the evening
• Shop for all your key ingredients each week so you can always pull together a meal at short notice
• Food list on next page includes majority of the ingredients you will need to make my recipes
• Don’t be afraid to make substitutes in recipes, (as long as clean and within your daily allowances)
• Cravings can be especially difficult in the evenings - try cup of tea (green, camomile, peppermint, etc –
or even regular English Tea) to curb the desire to go off plan

RESISTANCE

Resistance – Read these notes before starting the plan
Important Information about Weights to Use:
• Recommended weights to use are not included as part of this plan as it will vary for everyone.
• Work to failure at the number of Reps shown for each exercise.
• You may need to try a few different weights to begin with until you get familiar with your body’s
limits.
• After the 1st and 2nd Hypertrophy weeks, make a note of the weights you have used and make sure
on the next Hypertrophy weeks you are increasing the weights. Continue this progress throughout
the plan.
• IMPORTANT: In Strength weeks, where Reps are 8,6,4,8,6,4 for each Set, start with lighter weight,
increasing the weight as reps decrease – 8,6,4. Then go back to the lighter weight and repeat,
increasing the weight as reps decrease – 8,6,4. On each set do not lift to failure but 1-2 reps short of
failure.
Tempo:
This program is all about tempo – make sure you are especially strict on form and tempo each week. The
Rest Pause technique described should only be used to squeeze out the last few reps. The program is not
about how much you are lifting – focus on form over weight.
Example:
• 1-1-4 ( Bench Press: 1 second lifting the weight, 1 split second at the top, then a 4 second
controlled movement down)
• 2-1-2 ( Bicep Curls: 2 seconds up, split second at the top, then 2 seconds down)

Rest Pause:
Reaching failure and allowing a few seconds for recovery to hit desired reps while maintaining good form.

CARDIO

Copyright DR Physique Limited Ross Dickerson (@DickersonRoss)


Perform 1-2 Low Intensity cardio sessions per week to help overall fitness levels and
burn through unwanted fat. Use if gaining too much body fat. If you are playing
sports this counts as one of your LISS sessions.
• You can do these on the bike, rower, or treadmill. Vary the machine used.
• 5 minutes warm up, then work at steady state (RPE scale 6/10, 60% of your max heart rate) for 30-45
minutes

TIPS
• If you start to put on too much fat, swap 1 or 2 low intensity sessions for a high intensity session, see
below.
• Cardio routine can be done on rest day, abs day or after a workout

High Intensity cardio to use instead of Low Intensity - once or twice a week
• 5 minutes warm up, then into 30 seconds working at 100% turning the resistance up if possible
• Follow with 1 minute moving rest turning down resistance.
• Repeat this for 20 min with a 5 min cool down.

RECIPES

Rainbow Trout with Lemon and Parsley

Well this is hardly a recipe it's so quick & simple... but another
idea and very healthy. Trout is low in fat (a third of the fat of
salmon) and low in calories. Great source of iron, calcium,
selenium and vitamins A, B1, B2, B6 and B12.

Ingredients: (Serves 1-2)


- 2 fresh fillets of rainbow trout (1 fillet - approx 100-120g
cooked so adapt as needed)
- Juice of half lemon
- Fresh parsley chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 teaspoons of olive oil

Sprinkle fillets with salt and fresh ground black pepper


Heat oil over medium high heat in a non stick pan
When hot add the fillets and cook for 1 minute each side
Add lemon juice and once sizzling, add parsley and turn heat
down and cook for another 2 minutes
Serve with favourite veg - in photo, sweet potato mash, purple
sprouting brocolli and carrots
Variations: add a few prawns for extra protein content

Chicken and Cashew Nut Stir-Fry
You can play around with the ingredients, throw in more veg,, add more or less chilli, and use the amount of chicken according to your
dietary needs.(As with the other recipes the quantities are approximate for one serving).

Ingredients:
150g chicken breast cut into bite size pieces
small handful of raw unsalted cashew nuts
1/2 a medium sized onion cut into 4-6 large pieces
thumb nail sized piece of ginger chopped or crushed
fresh chlili to taste (I used half a medium-hot chilli - I like it quite spicy)
fresh coriander chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil (or groundnut oil)
Marinade - 1/2 teaspoon cornflour plus 1 dessert spoonful soy sauce
Cooking sauce - 2 teaspoons white wine vinegar; 1/4 teaspoon sugar; 2 teaspoons
dry/medium sherry; dessert spoon water.

Mix soy sauce and cornflour for marinade and add to pieces of chicken breast in a shallow bowl. Leave 10 minutes.
Mix ingredients for cooking sauce in small bowl and put to one side.
Heat wok over medium-high heat and then add the oil.
When oil is hot, add cashew nuts and lightly toss for 30 seconds or until light brown. Remove with slotted spoon and put to one side.
Keep oil very hot and add marinated chicken; stir fry for about 3 minutes, turning frequently. Remove chicken and put to one side.
Add onion, chilli and ginger to wok (you may need an extra teaspoon of oil) and stir fry until onion slightly soft.
Return chicken to the wok along with the cooking sauce and bring to boil.
Cover and turn heat right down - simmer for a few minutes to ensure chicken fully cooked and let flavours mingle.
Finally add cashew nuts and a small handful of chopped coriander.
Serve with rice or noodles.
TIPS:
If you are not using non-stick pans, use a wok if you can as chicken sticks easily, and keep your wok seasoned by wiping over with a few
drops of oil after every time it is washed.
Groundnut oil (peanut oil) is great for cooking chicken.
Make sure oil is really hot when the chicken is added but turn down once the chicken has sealed on all sides.

Curried Chicken Stew

Ingredients: (2 servings)
Ingredients: (2 portions)

Pomegranate Pork Steaks

Pork is a great meat choice as really low in fat. This recipe does use some fruit and honey, therefore adding some
sugar to your diet, but the quantity per serving is quite small. One pork steak weighed nearly 150g cooked.

Ingredients (serves 4):


4 pork loin steaks, trimmed of excess fat
tablespoon olive oil
1/2 pomegranate
juice of 1/2 orange
1 dessert spoon honey
2 teaspoons mustard (English or Dijon)
sprinkle of hot chilli powder to taste
2 cloves garlic crushed

- Squeeze the 1/2 pomegranate to extract as much juice as possible and use all the seeds
- Mix this with the juice from the orange, honey, mustard, crushed garlic and hot chilli powder
- Mix well and coat pork cutlets
- Leave to marinate for up to an hour.
- Heat oil in non-stick pan over quite a high heat
- Shake off excess marinade and pan fry pork steaks for 4-5 minutes each side until nicely browned
- Add marinade to pan and turn down heat, cooking for a further 7-8 minutes, or until sauce has reduced so there
is one spoonful per steak.
