Schlumberger (name changed)

As an intense baseball athlete, I used to follow that recommended by my coaches, but when I heard about the 10,000-calorie diet recommended by Michael Phelps, I thought, Let me try it on. First, I took suggestions from my nutritionist, and based on my workout plan, he gave a green signal. 

I followed it one week, and I gained a lot of weight. I think I won’t work at as much intensity, as Michael Phelps did. 

Now I have come back to my normal diet plan, and I am happy with it.

I was fat, and I heard about Michael Phelps’s diet from many individuals, but internally I was furious about it. 

One day I thought, Let me try it once, and I searched for it on the internet. I found that the food options are healthy as well as tasty; that’s why I thought to let’s bring it into my daily routine. 

I followed it for 5 days, but I was taking fewer calories. Overall diet is well and good, and I think that first you need to consult with a nutritionist and later on think about it.
