Bruce Lee Diet Plan.

It is believed that the Bruce Lee diet is still being praised by many in martial arts as the ideal blend of eating habits and nutrition. The rigid control Lee placed on himself, in conjunction with his commitment to his art ensured that his body was in peak physical shape.

Famous for groundbreaking films such as taking on the Dragon and Fist of Fury, Lee was a bodybuilder who was determined to improve his fitness. His ideas on nutrition continue to influence people to this day. A great man once said: "When you are a martial artist, you simply consume what you need and don't get carried by food items that will not serve you as a martial arts practitioner".

Let’s look at the Bruce Lee diet in more detail in this video.

Cut out the ‘empty calories’.

Lee described refined flour as "empty calories. This meant that he did not touch any baked goods like cake, biscuits, and pastries and only ate food that could be beneficial to the body's health in some manner.

Eat Chinese food.

While the pasta was frequently available on his menu, Lee felt Western food was bland and consequently reverted to the Chinese dishes of his ancestral home. Asian dishes were based on carbs from vegetables and rice, whereas Western food was about fat and protein. His most loved dish was an oyster sauce with beef.


Eat less more frequently.

Lee would usually consume four or five smaller meals a day rather than a couple of large meals, plus some healthy snacks such as fruits. Consuming large amounts of food at a time causes the body’s metabolism to slow down, resulting in the excess calories being stored as fat.

Conversely, eating smaller portions means the excess calories per meal are less and it also means that you can eat more often. Eating more often will train the body into knowing that it does not need to store the calories, again preventing fat deposition.

Drink Royal jelly and ginseng.

Lee would often talk about how drinking royal jelly (said to be made from the honey of the queen bee) would give him a quick boost before filming. Royal jelly contains B-complex vitamins, including a high concentration of vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid) and vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), acetylcholine, hormones, and eighteen amino acids. It also contains a trace of many minerals, trace amounts of vitamin C, and some enzymes, as well as antibacterial and antibiotic components.

Lee also enjoyed tea infused with ginseng. An ancient Chinese remedy, ginseng was thought to promote ‘Yang’ energy and improve circulation and blood supply.

Take protein supplements.
Lee would consume two protein drinks a day, mixing in eggs, wheat germ, peanut butter, bananas, brewers yeast, and granular lecithin. Vitamin and mineral supplements were also on the menu.

Drink tea.
Lee drank a huge variety of different teas which he would sometimes mix with honey. Tea contains many anti-oxidants and has certain substances that can increase the body’s immune system dramatically. Lee’s favorite kind of tea was Lipton or a Chinese tea called Li-Cha. Tea is an excellent way of hydrating the body and also improves bodily functions.

Lee was a remarkable athlete and there’s no doubt his diet contributed massively to his physical condition. In 1970, he badly injured his back, causing damage to the sacral nerve. Doctors told him he would never fight again but to the surprise of his health advisor, Lee made an incredible recovery. He strongly believed that this would never have been achieved if it was not for his fantastic physical attributes which he would never have had without ‘The Bruce Lee diet’.
