How I Gained 30 Pounds In 6 Days Post Show

For you to perform optimally, you have to prepare adequately. Well, it goes without saying that the lack of adequate prepping is the best recipe for failure. Don’t get me wrong. Prepping for a competition can be a huge challenge. But with the right mindset, the right support, and putting in the work, it can only get easier. 

I need to mention that preparation applies to both pre and post-shows. While you may prepare well for the show – and actually perform well - post-shows might be a total miss for you if you overlook the importance of planning for post-show celebrations especially. This may cause you to crumble even after victoriously scooping the pool. It is from this context that you should also focus and think beyond the night of the show. So, how do you prep adequately? Let’s learn some tips from Tamara. 

Tamara Haddad is an IFBB Bikini Pro and she has been competing for the last 9 years.   Spreading her excellence to upcoming athletes, Tamara is currently a Lifestyle Training & Nutrition Coach as well as Posing Technique & Stage Presentation Coach. Besides competing in various Bikini platforms, Tamara is recognized for pulling it off at the Olympia twice and the Arnolds. Tamara is publicly announcing for the first time on Bikini Diaries that the time has come for her to hang up the boots. 

In this episode, Tamara teaches us her tips and tricks on how she actually helps her clients deal with the hardest parts about prepping. She will also share her experiences with bingeing and how she gained 30 pounds in one week after a show. After listening to this episode, you will definitely be able to relate to Tamara as she talks about how her relationship with God evolved during her prepping experience.
