Michel Phelps,... has taken the Beijing Olympics by storm.. Medals ..medals.. and medals for him.. 8 Golds, and altogether..more than 15 medals to him.. Wonder what his body is made of? He has such a stamina.. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,403803,00.html 12000 calories a day.. as against.. normal 2500 calories for an ordinary individual.. even 2500 cals is not advisable for persons like me who always sit before their PC.. no hard works..

Is his stamina as good as Lance Armstrongs was? Maybe they eat the same diet!

Michael Phelps is a brilliant swimmer. He is so special and therefore his diet is also quite different from normal people. I wonder whether I can swim so fast if I eat so much?:) I love China

well i guess his diet suited his body...since he is an athlete and need more strength than that of the ordinary guy..but wondering too if this all over..the adjustment that he will make for his daily routine especially on food intake..

Well though I would like to eat 12000 calories and still look good, I would rather eat 1500 like I usually do haha, if I ate more than 2000 it would start getting really expensive to feed myself everyday! Phelps with all the money he has now (1 million for each gold in the Speedo contract, etc.) can afford to eat like that for the rest of his life haha. He is such an amazing athlete, it's funny that everyone in school, even his teachers, would say he would amount to nothing in life, boy were they wrong! haha.
