The 12,000 Calories Per Day Diet

That's right. If you want to look as ripped and thin as Michael Phelps, simply eat 12,000 calories per day. Uh huh, a mere 6 times the USDA recommended 2,000 calorie per day diet. But look at him, don't you want long and lean muscles with not just a 6-pack but easily a 8 or 10 pack in your abs? What's his secret you ask? He eats 12,000 calories per day or as much as he possibly can consume. I'm talking heaping stacks of pancakes, links upon links of sausage, waffles, pizza, pizza and more pizza. "I try and I try to gain weight but I can't" proclaims Phelps. If it works for the most decorated Olympian of all time then surely it will work for us.

This diet must accompany 5 hours of excruciating training every day of the week for years on end with no breaks

 

Oops, I forgot to mention the disclaimer. That's right, Michael Phelps burns at least 12,000 calories per day during his workouts which is why he doesn't gain weight. Even with this extreme example, the fundamentals of weight loss and weight gain still hold true: 3,500 calories = 1 lb.

How about a Gold Medal Update:

Sat - :45 of kayaking

Sun - :30 of JumpSnap

Mon - :60 of kayaking

Tues - :90 of yoga

Wed - :30 strength training

I can taste the Gold Medal!

Healthy Jumping...

Brad LaTour Bio

I embody the phrase ‘if I can do it, so can you’. I was gaining an annoying 5 to 7 lbs of weight per year unitl I finally had enough and decided to make some changes. During the process I invented JumpSnap because I knew jumping rope was the best form of exercise to burn calories and lose inches but I tripped so often on the rope it was frustrating. Like most great inventions, frustration led me to create JumpSnap. As you can see by my pictures on the home page, I lost 50 lbs and trimmed over 6 inches off my waist so I am now passionate about sharing what I learned to help others do the same in an often confusing and contradictory weight loss market.  In my blog, I will share my own personal experiences along with those that might shed some light on topics like policy, nutrition, exercise and weight loss.
