Obviously people associate Bruce Lee as being a master of martial arts who appeared in many films and had quite an amazing life. But one thing people may not be aware of is that Bruce Lee had a very strict diet which he stuck to, to keep him performing at the peak of his fitness. The Bruce Lee Diet consists of various factors which we will examine below.

Obviously before even thinking about copying the Bruce Lee Diet, you should consult a suitably qualified medical professional to make sure you are fit and healthy enough to start a new diet or weight loss program.

He worked on a basis that he didn't consume any calories or carbohydrates that had no effect on improving his fitness. So he didn't eat many products that contained flour, such as biscuits etc. He enjoyed eating his native western food, so Chinese meals were eaten plentifully. He liked these especially because of the goodness from all the vegetables that they contain.

Another major part of the Bruce Lee Diet was that he avoided products that contained dairy, such as milk and cheese. He would use a powdered milk. Anything Bruce did is what is recommended on most of the popular diets in todays society and that is to eat small and often. Avoid having large meals and have 4-5 small meals each day. This helps to keep a stable metabolism and encourage weight loss.

The Bruce Lee Diet also consisted of regular high protein drinks and also taking supplements. Obviously these have improved a lot since those days but he reguarly took vitamin tablets and made sure he was eating a lot of protein.

Obviously the Bruce Lee Diet was limited to what was available at the time but his diet still makes sense. That's why he was able to remain almost fat free but with a lot of energy which he used in his martial arts.
