Possible 1st fitness show for this latin lady. Need DIET HELP/DIRECTION!

[Cheylayna1978]

I am looking for some advice on diet and general preparation for a show I want to enter coming up in 4 months. I have been training for 3 years, do have a good muscle "base" as guys tell me at the gym, but I am going to compete in the "fitness" portion, not bodybuilding. I know I still have to be very ripped, and right now I am lean and have a nice flat stomach, but need to get some visible abs going along with the lean/hard look all over from what I've seen at shows I attended. Does anyone here have any advice on what kind of diet I should do? How much cardio? The trainers at my gym are, well, mean, and they charge like $75 per hour just to train with no diet advice at all and that is what I need. I know training in and out, I just need someone to develop a diet to get me ready to step on stage as I am very nervous. I model so I am confident in that area and my face is what gets me most modeling jobs (my butt to from my latina heritage, and my "upper" bodyparts are natural no implants), but the show I want to do is not like modeling at all, so that is a different league and I need help!
My butt may be too BIG and work against me, I am so uncertain in this "area" which is why I signed up here. I am in Germany. Anyone have any recommendations? Can anyone here help me lay out something? Do you know of trainers here or somewhere on a board that are cheap(er) than the people at my gym?

Thank you,
Cheylayna

Hello Nark and thanks for the replies guys.

What do you offer Nark? Do you train people over the
Web? I have heard of people doing this and researched a few, not sure of who is the best, who offers what, etc. I like seeing before/after pics of people that have been helped with web-trainer's advice, and do you offer those viewings?
I have come across some but am open to considering your services if things "jive" as my best girl says. (she is into fitness with me and may also do the show. We are both looking to do something "new" like people all of a sudden want to skydive, we want to be on stage. I am tired of the camera!)

Thx chicos!

Hi Layna.

I'm not here to advertise my services, but... if you're interested, I could email you my website's URL.

On my site(s) and forum you can find before and afters of my clients.

re: services offered...

I do customized diets and training templates (modifying from week-to-week, or as needed), including 'hell week' (aka the last of depletion/loading, electrolyte manipulation etc.)... I offer a private VIP client feedback forum (for day-to-day assessments/feedback/tweaking). There're a number of other services offered as well, including posing tweaking/choreography via webcam.

^^That being said, you may not need a coach.

You may just need some instruction.

e.g. Modifications to your diet.

I would suggest that you get started by posting your diet and workout structure(s) here on the forum.

Feel free to look for dieting advice on my thread here: Free Diet advice by Narkissos & Novastepp: Intro to Performance Nutrition 101

Also feel free to ask contest prep questions on my thread here: Contest Prep Questions asked and Answered: Narkissos

Good luck.

..and once again, Welcome!

What do u guys think of on-line training services?

I have been searching around a lot and found two that were pretty impressive, only one had pictures of himself though which I consider a must because I not taking advice from any fat ass trainer man/woman! One guy has very good looks and that reminded me of my ex-boyfriend - face and all that but a better body than my former man, and he had an extensive resume of clients and before/afters, as well as a very nice website and message board.
Not sure if mentioning other sites/trainers who offer on-line services here is okay to do? I ask since Narkie-pooh (heheheh) offers training services and most likely has clearance to announce
training business, so perhaps I can p.m. SOMEONE??? --> and ask about the 2 that really stood out to me as best? (but what is ironic/funny is I saw posts from Nark on this other guys board, the one with pictures so they must know each other and/or be friends) I found the 2 I did while doing Google searches and that led me to their own sites and also discussions about diets and stuff from other sites where they have clients. One man (the one who reminds me of my ex which could be good or bad I can't decide hhehehe) has an s-load of clients and threads at one forum I scoured. (Not his own forum, another forum I am guessing a friend of his by the number of threads)

PLs let me know if it's ok to ask about trainers and dietitians/nutritionists here in threads. I know asking for steroid sources is a no no but I am totally never taking steroids so I would never ask that at all. I just want to go with the rules as one site banned me (although as a Network Admin in Germany I can get on any site banned prior means nothing hehehe), but it made me hesitant to ask at places like here because I want to be a part of the community.

Pls help need to hire someone soon as "time's a wastin'".

Thx chicos/chicas,

Nark, I cannot private message you or anyone else!

I don't want to put my e-mail in public because I get guys writing/flirting with me from other sites where I have listed my
e-mail and they have seen my pics, and I have no time for horny men coming on to me and talking nasty on line, such a turn off.

I love dirty talk and I'm a lady in public and will make a man moan like a little bitch in bed because I am downright dirty and hot/horny in private, but I don't do any on-line stuff.

Help Nark, how can I activate private messages?

Thanks,

'Layna

I believe it is after 20 posts you gain the ability to private message. You have a little bit to go still.

[AdamGH]

(although as a Network Admin in Germany I can get on any site banned prior means nothing hehehe)

You dont have to be a network admin to spoof an IP. Only advantage the network admin might get you is being able to view any website forgoing any restrictions put on the network.

[Cheylayna1978]

Oh yeah I know that for sure, I am just saying it's very easy that is all.

I would love to have abs like that picture you have. Is that your girlfriend or wife? Lucky girl there, great body damn!

Layna, you won't have PM access for a bit... but you can enable the option to allow members to email you through the forum.

btw: The board you saw me posting on... was it RazorRipped's?

If so, yes he's a fellow prep guy... a good one at that. A friend of mine as well. He's a member on my forum also.
