Bodybuilder Low Body Fat

What does a bodybuilder's body guy with 3.7% body fat eat? Many people are not only curious about what foods a natural bodybuilders body eats to maintain single digit body fat , but they also want to be taken by the hand and told exactly what foods to eat themselves while on fat-burning or muscle building programs . 4 separate "top 10" lists of healthy weight loss foods to feed your muscle and burn fat.

If they practice the secrets exposed in your book, shouldn't be staying in great shape all the time instead of having to work at losing fat prior to every compet...
