18 Mind-Blowing Diets People Swear By To Sculpt Their Bodies

People pursuing health often adopt specific diets. A forum user asked, "Fit people, what's your diet?" Here are the top answers.

CHICKEN, RICE, AND BROCCOLI

“I eat a metric ton of chicken, rice, and broccoli weekly.”

CHICKEN, TURKEY, RICE, AND GRAINS

"Meals: Greek Yogurt & Coffee for breakfast, brown rice & lean meat for lunch, FiberOne bar for snack, sweet potato & meat for dinner, protein shakes post-workout. Drink 2 gallons of water & occasionally Diet Dr.Pepper. I lift daily, do Netflix-cardio. Supplements include fish oil & vitamin D tablets, green tea extract."

SMALLER PORTIONS OF PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING

"Smaller portions, lower sugar and calorie intake. Aim under 36g sugar daily. Enjoy pizza, soda, ice cream sparingly with monitored quantities."

EAT UNDER MY CALORIE LIMIT

"Not about beauty, but fitness. I eat anything under my calorie limit, including cookies or pizza. I have salads and veggies for breakfast/snacks, permitting more calorie-dense foods later."

EGGS AND VEGETABLES

“I eat more eggs and vegetables than most people. Also, I’ve noticed my portions are smaller, and I don’t eat as much food with added sugars.”

EATING CLEAN

"Calorie balance is key, but clean eating boosts performance. Stick to eggs, meat, veggies, fruits, rice, and whey, but don't forget ice cream, chocolate, and wings."

REFRAIN FROM DRINKING YOUR CALORIES

"I eat healthy & moderate. My #1 tip: don't drink your calories (only have water, green tea or diet soda). Avoid soda/juice to stay fit."

LOW-FAT FOODS, LOTS OF VEGETABLES AND SALADS

“Low-fat foods, lots of vegetables and salads. I mix some omelets and chicken to satisfy a meat craving. I eat lollipops to satisfy my sweet tooth and drink a ton of water.”

GENETICALLY ENGINEERED WATER AND SALAD

“Genetically engineered water with optimal pH served in a bottle with a controlled water dispenser tank and hydronic lid closure. Also, salad.”

PRE-COOKED MEALS

"I use Nutrition Solutions Lifestyle's pre-cooked meals. Went from 208 lbs to 186 lbs, dropped my body fat by 6% with diet and a shredding routine. I take one cheat day weekly."

CUT OUT UNHEALTHY FOOD

"Cut out non-nutritional snacks. Dump soda and chocolate but allow occasional cheats. Stick with four smaller meals instead of two large ones. Nutrition is 70-80% of getting a lean body, so pair it with regular exercise to feel and look better."

EAT A VARIETY OF THINGS

"I eat healthy and exercise daily. Enjoy hard-boiled eggs, protein shakes and lean chicken. Avoid protein bars, soda, sugary drinks, and juice. Fruits? Mostly oranges and apples."

WATER AND BLACK COFFEE

“Drink only water and black coffee. No alcohol.”

BREAD TO YOGURT

"Morning: Bread, cheese/eggs. Afternoon: Rice, chicken/steak/pasta/boiled potatoes. Dinner: Yogurt/milk. Strictly no snacks, sugary drinks, coffee. Only fruits, tea all day."

EAT STRICTLY

"I have a hormone issue and a strict diet. I eat 2-3 eggs, coffee with cashew milk and protein snack. My lunch is salad with tuna. Dinner is mainly protein like chicken, turkey, etc., with sides of veggies. No more than one pizza a month. I have minimum dairy due to bloating issues. Most carbohydrates are from vegetables, but I'll have rice, beans, and fruits on weight training days. Alcohol only once a month."

HIGH CARBOHYDRATES, LOW FAT, VEGAN

“High carbohydrates, low fat vegan (yes, I get all of my protein, Iron, B12, etc., no eating vegan isn’t hard at all; it’s the best thing I’ve ever done for my body).”

NO STARCH, NO SUGAR

"Hired a trainer, chef, and nutritionist. No starch, no sugar, limited red meat and fat, restricted alcohol, lots of water. I had a smoothie for breakfast. Ate bland veggies until tired. Constant hydration distracted me."

MODERATION

"I prefer proteins & veggies with occasional carbs & lots of water. Regular weightlifting, 2-mile runs, boxing on Saturdays, long run on Sundays, with Tuesday being leg day."
