KO’s Diet Tips:
According to him, for achieving the desired look, you need to focus more on nutrition part than training. Only 30% depends on the training part and the remaining 70% depends entirely on your diet. Without following proper diet you can’t achieve your fitness goal.
Balance of Protein & Carbohydrate:
Your diet should be rich in protein and carbohydrates. For getting all essential nutrients it is recommended to include more veggies, fruits and nuts. The trick lies in eating less carbs and high protein diet.
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and should not be ignored. You may add egg whites for protein, which is a BCCA rich food.
Body Mechanism :
In order to cope up with intense workout routine you should fuel your body. The lack of nutrients, protein etc. may lead to injury. A nutritious post workout meal is a must, that is a protein shake.
You don’t need to cut carbs entirely to achieve that lean and muscular look. Everybody loves carbs in country like ours, especially rice. You can take them early in the day in breakfast or lunch, so you will get whole day to burn those calories. It is important not to take carbs after 7 pm in the evening.
Importance of drinking Water:
Water is essential for muscle building and it’s maintenance. It will also help your skin and hair health. Taking extra water can also boost calorie burning, helping you to lose some extra weight as drinking a lot of water helps in loosing extra water from the body and balancing sodium levels.
Supplements to be used:
KO gives a lot of importance to using good brand of protein shake powders and avoiding low quality Indian brands as they can damage your body in long run. He also uses pre workout, BCAA’s, creatine, glutamine and stack them with diet.
Things to stay away:
It is okay to have an occasional cheat meal but it doesn’t mean you can have it every day. Yes, for achieving your fitness goal you have to sacrifice.
