Want to Eat as Much as Michael Phelps (10,000 Calories a Day)? You Can!

The punch line should be and you will be as big as a house in no time. The reality is that it is possible to eat whatever you want.

Really.

But unless you are willing to do what Michael Phelps does or something close to it you may not be able to eat exactly like him or quite as much as him.

During a recent interview Michael eluded to a diet for a typical training day that consisted of something like this:

Breakfast: Three fried egg sandwiches made with cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, fried onions, and mayonnaise; three chocolate-chip pancakes; five-egg omelet; three sugar-coated slices of French toast; bowl of grits; two cups of coffee

Lunch: One pound of enriched pasta; two large ham and cheese sandwiches with mayonnaise on white bread; energy drinks

Dinner: One pound of pasta with carbonara sauce; a large pizza; energy drinks

I don’t know about you, but I believe that diet would take me all day just to eat, let alone training for 5 hours and then getting my daily activities and chores in as well. It seems unlikely that anyone other than a professional athlete would ever have a need to eat this much food in a single day. But it did make me think about my philosophies on nutrition and eating.

As a trainer, I tell all my clients that my goal is for them to be able to eat whatever they want, whenever they want, as long as they don’t do it all the time and they do try and make an attempt at a reasonable portion.

If a person trains for 45 minutes, at a high level of intensity every day, increases the lean muscle mass of the body, lowers overall body fat to single digits for men and low teens for women, then in my book, that person should be able to eat whatever they want.

They are fat burning machines and every single thing that goes into the body is being used as energy. There is no way for the body to store fat because the metabolic rate is so high on that individual that the body has already used up all the fat stores to just accomplish the daily activities.

The problem with this scenario is most people don’t train hard enough, long enough and often enough to ever achieve this goal.

However, if you can do all of the above and stay there for just 60 days, then I am confident you can start to nibble on everything in site. I say nibble because you should never over indulge. It just isn’t healthy. Eating a 2 lb bag of M & M’s in one sitting is never a good idea, even if you are Michael Phelps. But you certainly could get a “normal” size bag and enjoy.

I will save the topic of what a “normal” size is for another newsletter.

For now, imagine this. You have worked so hard, eaten so clean for 3-4 months, lowered your body fat to really impressive numbers, and have made your body a fat burning furnace so much that you need to go to the ice cream store every night for a double scoop of whatever you want.

Great, right?

Well that is exactly where I have taken some of my clients. They are able to live that way and if they don’t eat 5-6 times a day they can’t keep the weight on. That would be a great problem to have … Wouldn’t it?

Cakes of the Philippines

What are the best kinds of bakeries in the Philippine that provides the best sets of cakes philippine and pastries throughout the country? When it comes to bakeries or bakeshops in the Philippines, there are only two kinds of these things, and that is the Goldilocks Bakery and Red Ribbon Bakeshop. But what are the difference between the two?

Some have said that cakes philippine from Red Ribbon are much better tasting than that of Goldilocks, having a more “Foreign” taste on their collections of cakes and pastries. Others have stated that cakes and pastries Goldilocks are more on the “Original Filipino-Ingenuity” and are better tasting for some that have grown to love its cakes.

Another major difference between the two is that Red Ribbon cakes and pastries are more expensive than those cakes coming from Goldilocks. Many Filipinos have also stated that Goldilocks has a more Filipino-induced feel not only on their cakes but also on the common theme their bakeshop has whereas Red Ribbon is more on the American-Induced feel.

Although both have major differences, Goldilocks and Red Ribbon still has their similarities in terms of providing service for Filipinos and foreigners alike. One common similarity between the two are their collection of cakes. Though both have different tastes of cakes, Goldilocks and Red Ribbon has their similarities such as the popular Chocolate Mousse and and Chocolate roll.

Another similarities in services is by providing specialized cakes for special celebrations such as weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, christening, new born, character cakes (marvel and DC heroes, Disney characters, etc.), and more.

Another main feature that these bakeshop and bakeries have is by offering delicacies other than cakes philippine. Red Ribbon’s fast-food menus ranges from popular french cuisine such as spaghetti, Carbonara, and Lasagna to popular dishes in the Philippines such as the popular palabok.

Goldilocks’ collection of fast-food is more on traditional Filipino delicacies such as beef caldereta, kare-kare, bitik tagalog, fresh lumpia, laing, pinakbet, rellenong bangus, and many more. Goldilocks’ range of thrist quenchers ranges from the popular halo-halo to main con hielo.

One great accomplishment that these two bakeshops have also achieved to open their branches out of the country. Goldilocks’ branches all over the world are mainly on countries where Filipino expatriates live such as in California, two locations in Las Vegas, Nevada, and two more outlets in Vancouver, Canada. Goldilocks bakeshops have now reached 192 branches all over the world.

Red Ribbon has also been popular for outside of the country, especially when it has 20 branches in California alone. There are also two branches of Red Ribbon bakeshops Las Vegas, two in New Jersey, and one in Metro Phoenix. Red Ribbon’s branches of bakeshops all over the world has grown to 189 outlets.

But their true similarity lies in the service they offer for Filipinos. Both bakeries were founded by Filipinos whom wanted to share their success in the industry. As Philippine’s pride, Red Ribbon and Goldilocks have shown the world the true qualities of Filipino ingenuity.
