“And as we got into my show, we got very strict on the calories, and I’m 6 foot 4, and I was, I think I was eating 1,500 calories, 1,600 calories at the end of the prep. And I was down to like about 4% body fat. You could see all the veins in my stomach, and I just, you could see everything. I was an anatomy chart ultimately. But I had developed such an unhealthy relationship with food. I was so hungry that the day after my show, I just ate everything I could, absolutely everything. And within a month, I gained 50 pounds. Within one month, I went from shredded six pack to having man boobs and a belly.” – Maxime Sigouin
