Hi, everyone! My name is Meriza DeGuzman. Please join me here each week as I share with you my journey to the Jr. Nationals, and my quest to achieve IFBB Pro status as a Figure competitor. Currently, I’m 13 weeks away from this Pro Qualifying event in Chicago. Each week, you’ll find information here about my nutrition and training program and my supplementation regimen. I’ll also share some of my thoughts and feelings as I go through this journey! Thanks for stopping by!
I started my diet “officially” this week. Luckily, I’ve been pretty strict this off-season. I’m currently 108 lbs, and I anticipate stepping on stage at 98-100lbs, so at this stage, I’m really just cleaning up my diet and establishing my baseline. As I get closer to the show, I will work closely with my nutritionist (he’s also my man!) to fine tune my program. I’ll share more of this with you as the week’s go on, but in short, we utilize a very specific carbohydrate cycling program.
I’ve used this nutritional plan for the past year, and it’s been very successful for me.
Last year, I was blessed with a very successful competitive season. I won two regional shows, and placed 2nd at the USA’s and 2nd again at the North Americans. This year, I hope to earn Pro status.
