Interesting Article about Arnold Schwarzenegger Offseason Diet

According to an article in Muscle Builder (1969):
"THE WONDER-WORKING SCHWARZENEGGER DIETBREAKFAST"

He arises about 7 a.m. in the morning:
Instant Nature Breakfast (one container)
Meat
Eggs
A German -Swiss cereal called Birchermuesli which is comprised of rolled oats, ground nuts of many kinds, dried raisins, dried apples, and seeds of many kinds (such as wheat germ). This delicious cold cereal (you add milk only) can be purchased in health food stores.
A Vitamin-Mineral Tablet
One Protozyme Tablet to assist in protein and starch digestion

AT 9:00 A.M
BEFORE THE MORNING SECTOR OF HIS DOUBLE-SPLIT ROUTINE:
Insta Power (one container). Arnold usually sips half of this before his workout, and sips the remainder during the workout.

AT 11:00 A.M
Instant Nature Breakfast (one container) or Super-Pro 101

AT 2:00 P.M (Germans and Austrians eat a late lunch)
A light protein such as tunafish or cottage cheese.
A small green vegetable salad with lemon juice and roll
A piece of fresh raw fruit

AFTER WORK (A HALF-HOUR BEFORE THE SECOND SECTOR OF THE DOUBLE-SPLIT)
A container of Insta Power (sipped as before, ? before the workout, the remainder during the workout)

DINNER AT 7:00 P.M
A full pound of beef. Arnold prefers Rostbraten which is a Viennese sirloin steak pan-broiled with a few tablespoons of peanut oil in order to gain needed unsaturated fatty acids to offset the animal fat quotient in the beef
A baked potato with corn-oil margarine for topping
A mixed salad of potatoes, red beets and cucumbers
A typical Viennese dessert such as Kaiserschmarren or Schillerlocken (a pastry cone filled with whipped cream), or Nusstorte (you may substitute any kind of dry, nutty cake).

When Arnold was trying to gain weight he not only ate dessert just mentioned, but sipped a container of Crash Weight-gaining Formula #7 as a 'chaser.'

This was so effective that now, at his present weight of 250, he no longer need rely on Crash Weight daily, only when he finds his weight dropping below the 250 lbs. he likes to maintain throughout the year. He always takes a Protozyme Tablet after his big dinner.

AFTER HIS CALF WORKOUT JUST BEFORE BED:
A container of Super-Pro 101 to provide protein insurance for the day.
Thus his total protein consumption is 350+ grams per day.
Now Arnold alters this diet a few weeks before a contest or an exhibition. Then we find him 'fining down' . . . trying for the greatest 'cuts.'

At this time he omits many of the high carbo-gram foods. . . boosts his protein intake with Super-Pro 101, and includes Muscle Density Formula RX7.

This latter supplement is substituted for Insta-Power before (and during) each workout sector, and in place of Instant Nature Breakfast at the 11 :00 A.M. feeding. Because he then works in high sets and reps with lighter poundages, he does not require the super-energy boost necessary when working with the heaviest weights.

Thus Muscle Density Formula R7 which is formulated to help produce muscular definition in combination with brisk workout routines, is just what he needs.It is needless to add that when working for definition. Arnold omits desserts such as the creamy Kaiserschmarren, Schillerlocken or Nusstorte, and substitutes an apple or pear or peach peeled at the table and eaten raw. In this way he trims down a few pounds, and has 100% more cuts than anyone else on the posing platform! "
