Why I Got Started
I was a chubby kid growing up and it got really bad my freshman year
of college. One day I looked in the mirror and was completely
disgusted. This was roughly 2 1/2 years ago. I started losing weight
and on November 1, 2008 I decided to do a bodybuilding competition in
about a year. 53 weeks later I stepped on stage a completely changed
person. The whole experience was life changing and solidified my
choice of making a career in the fitness industry.

How I Did It
I buckled down on my diet first. I began tracking what I ate and created a deficit. I found a good routine to follow and hit the weights hard. I lost about 1 pound a week for the first year making slow adjustments to my diet as I went along. On November 2008 I decided to do a natural amateur bodybuilding show in one year. 53 weeks later I was on stage at the INBF/WNBF World Championships where I took 6th in my weight class. About 5 months out from my show I was offered some help from one of the most amazing companies out there, At Large Nutrition. They saw some potential and helped me out on the supplement front while I worked on getting peeled. During the last 2 months of prep I acquired the services of our very own Alberto Nunez (FatherFlex). Berto dialed took me to a level I wouldn't have dreamed of getting to for my first show.

Supplements
Diet
My diet was unique in the sense that after I established baseline macro nutrient levels I just slowly adjusted them to keep progress rolling. I never ate the same thing two days in a row.
I started off eating around 4500 calories a day.
150g fat, 490g carbs, 300g protein. I dropped 100-200 calories every few weeks as my weight loss stalled.
My metabolism changed for the better since I began this transformation. I was maintaining 200lbs eating 4000 calories around six months out from my show.
Towards the end of my diet I was eating just under 2000 calories per day. About 40g fat, 175g carbs, 200g protein with one refeed a week where I would bump the carbs to 300g.
