***Remember, modeling is different than bodybuilding in preparation. With bodybuilding, you get an "off season" and a date to get back to your process to look your best at a certain date. With modeling, you must look consistent and good all year round. Shoots can be on call with a few days notice. This preparation is your guide to immediate nutrition to look your best.***

Pre Photo Shoot Sample Diet Station
This is the diet I follow when leading up to a modeling shoot.
Substitute, substitute, substitute. This is a very important word for me and my diet before a shoot.
I am a firm believer that anything you cannot have, you want more. This holds true in dieting. The only problem is, usually what you can't have is not realistic to obtain anyway. So you can move on and work towards it without it being readily available.
With dieting, some of these things that you can't have are READILY available. You will suffer more because you could easily just give in and go into your junk food closet.
Substitution is where you do not completely cut out something you can't have. You simply go with something similar that can get you by, but the healthier option.
Ya Dig?
Here is a list of foods I ONLY eat leading up to a shoot. This is usually a week out, sometimes longer, sometimes shorter depending on notice.
This also will work for anything; Weddings, beach, wave pool, big date, anniversary, reunion, for the heck of it. You get the idea:-)
IMPORTANT: There is NO cut and dry diet that will work for you the same as others. This I found works for my body. You will need to switch it up(cycling carbs-try high carbs one day, then drop it 50, then drop it 50 the next day and so on) until you notice which is working, and you will notice.
These are foods you should be mixing around in your diet, and it is up to you to include them. I included the key because WHEN you eat something is just as crucial as WHAT you eat. You can experiment here, even if it's one at a time. Start adding cottage cheese to your diet before bedtime and cut out carbs before 8 P.M completely as an example. This little bit is enough to improve greatly, and then move on to something else, eat 2 servings of almonds and a banana with a few eggwhites for breakfast every morning for a while. This is easy and more effective then completely changing the way you eat, only because doing this will be an overload and you have a higher chance of quitting the program.
Enjoy!
Key:
Morning- M
Before Workout- BW
After Workout- AW
Before Bed-BB

- RUSH by Brawl Nutrition. BW- Only use 1 serving and take half hour before workout. Please consult your physician first before using to make sure your health is safe enough. This fat accelerator with green tea extract, cayenne pepper, and caffeine will increase your intensity when working out. In term, your body will burn more calories and look tighter than not taking it.

http://www.squidoo.com/OfficialBrawlNutritionReview - Cayenne Fruit Capsule-BW Also an additional capsule of 40,000 STU of heat from the cayenne will heat your body up more to raise metabolism and burn more calories. If you feel too hot, your not drinking enough water. :-)
- Protein/Carb Drink-AW,S I use unflavored protein powder and mix 20-30 grams inside a 20 oz Gatorade to drink after workout. If I run out of gatorade, just mix it in any liquid you have. This is important to do at least twice a day, once after your workout.

Cardio Program of a Male Model
listen up!
Cardio is mandatory to burn fat and show the hard earned lean muscle you produced. Now this is going to be mostly on you to figure out what works best.Two keys,
1. jogging for long periods of time is better for burning fat NOW. However, you must keep protein high to keep your body from burning muscle, which it will if your diet is off.
2. interval cardio(sprinting full speed and walking slowly as a break) is better for increasing overall metabolism LATER.
Obviously, it's good to mix up both. Here is an example of my cardio program.
** I only do cardio for a shirtless shoot as diet and weight training usually is enough. I'll do this about anywhere from 2-4 weeks before a shoot, depends on when I find out I have it. You can do this all of the time, just remember you will lose some muscle size if too much.
***doing cardio in the morning on an empty stomach is your best bet to burning the most fat, as your metabolism is highest then. I don't do this. Quite frankly, two times in the gym in one day is too much and I get lazy later on. I do it right after my weight training always.
4 days of the 5 per week I am at the gym, I will do 1-1.5 miles on the Elipt. machine. 1.5 for me works best, as in no time, my abs will start to come out fast. Remember to drink plenty of water, lots and lots.
the 5th day I do interval sprints on pavement. If you can do it on a treadmill without feeling like your gonna fly off, be my guest.
you will do 7 sets of sprints.( I mean full out sprints, nothing but as fast as you can go, imagine being chased by a crazy person) :->
You will do 20 seconds of sprinting and 40 seconds of walking slowly. each minute passed is a set, do this 7 times. You're done. That's it. Sounds like a little bit, but you should be pretty pooped if you sprinted full speed every time.
Like I said, I don't need much cardio for my metabolism is very high from a few years of making it that way.
So you may need more, that's ok. Just start off doing a set amount of miles or sets and don't change it in any less time than a week. Once a week is over, look at yourself, feel tighter? See more muscle? If not, the next week, up it a half mile and a couple sets. As soon as you realize there is a change and you're looking better, you hit the note. The hard work is over, now do that program consistently.
Hope this helps, I'm positive it will if diet and exercise is on of course.

The BIG Picture
As if you didn't know...
As you know, being a male model and having the body that is required to become one takes time, dedication(IMPORTANT), patience, organization,timing,luck,and the HEART to really really want it bad.
Lastly, you must LIKE doing it, or you will fail. If you don't like doing it, your body won't be fooled and your body won't get lean while mentally stressed out.
This picture of me is meant to show that even though I isolate my mind and body to improve my physique, you can still see that I LOVE doing this.
I'm hiding nothing also, I love helping people(especially kids) the best I can. This page is here for that.
Regardless of what you're here for whether it be; male model workouts, male model diets, motivation, inspiration, to learn for free, toning up, getting lean, losing fat, helping your children become something bigger than yourself, ANYTHING this could intertwine with really.
