Without Ronnie Coleman, the world of bodybuilding would not have been complete. Since the beginning in 1990, the legendary bodybuilder dominated his field for 19 years. The greatest of all time, Coleman won the Mr. Olympia title for eight straight years. In addition, while performing, he had a severe back injury.

The GOAT has never set his feet backward when it comes to doing bodybuilding. From time to time, Ronnie’s name has counted alongside other bodybuilding legends like Arnold Schwarzenegger. However, Coleman once revealed his incredible diet throughout his career. 

The remarkable diet of Ronnie Coleman

Once Ronnie visited the iconic UFC commenter, Rogan, in one of his podcasts. There, he surprised Joe with the incredible challenges of maintaining a bodybuilder’s physique. After hearing Ronnie’s point of view on bodybuilding, Rogan was completely astonished. 

There first, Ronnie said, “What a lot of people don’t understand is you see me big up there, but it took a long time for me to get there.” Then Joe questioned his diet when he was building up. Ronnie replied, “I had about six meals a day.” Then, adding the details of his midnight craving, he stated, “It’s kind of hard to eat like that, so I would have to wake up in the middle of the night to eat and go back to sleep.”

In concluding the topic, he shared the pattern of his hunger. Ronnie said, “You kind of get used to it. When you eat like that, you get hungry every three hours. Every two or three hours you’re hungry because I’m not eating a lot of fat. It’s lean. I’m not eating a lot of carbs, so it’s a little bit of food at a time.” His hard work made him a household name, whether it was his diet or workout. The retired bodybuilder has undergone 13 operations total, which include his back and hips. Meanwhile, his first injury occurred when he was seventeen years old. 

Ronnie’s outstanding other legends

Ronnie is one of the greatest bodybuilders of all time, alongside the GOAT Arnold Schwarzenegger and Lou Ferrigno, with an eight-year winning streak over Mr. Olympia’s title. And he attributes his amazing achievement to the group of people that worked with him.

In many interviews, Ronnie has stated that he didn’t like being on a diet or changing his eating pattern. But the love for bodybuilding made him sacrifice his habits and made him one of the best in the field.
