A bodybuilder has revealed the food he avoids in order to maintain the body of a man half his age. Derik Fay says a high-protein, low-carb diet has helped him maintain his youthful look.
Despite admitting to having a sweet tooth, Derik, 44, says abstaining from eating cake for 30 years is his number one rule, inspired by retired fellow bodybuilder Arnold Schwarzenegger. He said: “Every once in a while I go and spoil myself, but I don't ever eat desserts. Other than on my birthday – when I might have a tiny slice, to be polite – I haven't eaten cake in more than 30 years.
"That's not to say that you can't eat cake and stay in shape. But when I was a kid, I remember Arnold Schwarzenegger talking about never eating a dessert, and that locked into my head.”
