@r-2 this is his meal at home(and he has carrots in potatoes btw.). Normally he has nutritionist and I am 100% sure he eats "normal healthy fitness whole food diet" full of spinach, carrots, sweet potatoes, fruits full of beta carotens, whole eggs etc.. + taking multivitamins with retinol palmitate for sure.. 🙂 Btw he is not even 70% of himself like 10 years a go. When he was on steroids.. Now he is a lot slower and people are KO him left and right.. So what exactly is your point? Heh..

Jiffi, if he's eating those things it doesn't say it in this video.
I thought it was a good example, from what he says here, of a meat and carb diet working out. He looks great and sure doesn't look over 40.
I thought it was kind of a funny when he said his mom was big, LOL. Then they pan over to someone who looks like me LOL. But I do agree that not everyone is going to get that muscular. It IS genetic. Maybe he got height and leanness from grandma? Dad looks more sturdy. I think some people are just not going to be fat gainers. My genetics are that way. Hubs and I both have round muscles, but he has a slower metabolism and gains fat easier.
here is dad:

I met him personally in bali when he came for visit . I would share random stuff on internet unless I dont have knowledge . He discussed about his current diet , he said he is still mostly meat , but has recently started including fruits and vegetable . The point of sharing this video is the fact his is still at top of his game at this age , and getting KO has nothing to do with health. He still has a 5 round cardio , his cardio hasnt gone down . This video only add up to the evidence that we dont require leeast Vitamin A to function properly , even as an elite athlete. And just for info , its the lower weight category athletes , like light weight , bantam weight , that require a nutritionist , heavyweights don't do weight cuts , so I don't think they keep a nutritionist usually

that was true maybe 15 years a go not now. Most of them know really well that nutrition is important. So even heavyweight guys have nutritionists. Btw I am 100% sure that I watched video where Alistar is talking about working with new guy on nutrition etc.. Heh you don't need to give me info about fight sports. It is all I watch. Fight sports, cycling and bodybuilding. Btw I agree that you don't need much vit A to be good athlete. I would say that classic stereotype athlete/fitness diet is low in vit A. It is mostly about meat, starches, some fruit, vegetables, oils.. I would say the most popular meal is something like white rice, lean meat, small amount of broccoli or some other vegetable and some fats like some avocado, tbsp of olive oil.. That is low vit A meal that will not give you vit A overload even if you eat that meal 6 times a day like most bodybuilders and other athletes.. There is not much fatty dairy, organ meats etc.. So if they don't take multivitamins where is almost always retinol palmitate. They are on low vit A diet for the most part..

@r-2
I practiced brazilian jiu jitsu for a few years (stopped when my first child was born). The only thing I can say is the brazilians (many practiced with me and with some we have stayed in contact) eat a diet with beef black beans and potatoes as the very staples (their whole families eat that way). Of course our level was very "weak" and nothing professional but it would be quite logical that some high level fighters still eat that way (when I practiced many top fighters were BJJ guys and some from Brazil). I spoke recently with some of them about this "A" thing and many basically eat low A their whole lives without ever having heard about Grant or even vitamin "A".
