I love food, love to eat especially when training on a steroid cycle, it like I can feel it packing on. Fresh foods feel so good in the mouth salads and fruits the way the crunch. And no doubt you've heard it a million times how important it is to get your diet right before you start complaining or trying more serious enhancements.
Many years ago when I was struggling as a young ectomorph I was given advice by a huge bodybuilder....." stop fucking about with creatine and powders eat a couple of eggs on wholegrain toast before bed every night" And I did put some size on to my skinny little frame. I just couldn't comprehend how much more I needed to eat and the systematic and routine approach needed to get the results.
I have found diet can help in many other ways too. Ever found yourself constipated from consuming so much protein? Try eating a few prunes before bed each night followed by a glass of water, start adding Bok Choi to your veggie intake. Hair, nails and skin looking bad? Get some honey sesame bars or Greek Halva the high zinc content will fix it up faster than any zinc supplement. Foods work well. Foods work in ways that supplements just can't. For example you can buy iron supplement that are so powerful you can overdose and die from them...........yet you can safely intake the same amount of iron from eating liver (that's a lot of liver and really only work in hypothesis).
But faced with writing too much about diet and having read so much I have decided to simply give you some links to other peoples articles who have written great stuff. Without a doubt steroids give you an edge, they give you results that are sometimes just un-attainable naturally. But you should never forget how important your inner health is and when taking steroids the need to eat healthy and with your goals and internal health needs at the forefront of your meal plan.
