Bodybuilder Ilya Golem Dies: This Was His Dangerous Diet to Get Stronger

Unfortunately, death of young bodybuilders Usually they are not exceptional. Usually we find news of a new death within the profession. Sometimes when this happens, the diet or treatment these people followed to get the looks and strength they so desired is revealed. This often involves very dangerous practices. We are used to it. But that does not make everything he did any less amazing. Ilya GolemA 36-year-old Czech bodybuilder who has just died of unknown causes.

It is known that he ate 7 times a day, which in total amounted to 16,500 calories. Daily energy intake varies greatly from person to person and depends primarily on how active they are. However, men should generally not consume more than 3,000 calories per day. Even if the person in question is very active and slightly exceeds this figure, Ilia Golem’s intake was really disproportionate.

For example, one of his dinners consisted of more than 100 pieces of sushiwhich means 1.6 kilograms of rice and 800 grams of salmon. He also ate large amounts of meat, pasta, and even ice cream. It was not a balanced and healthy diet. But that was not the worst thing, because he also consumed substances that were clearly dangerous to his health.

Who was Elijah Gollem?

Ilya Gollem wanted to become a bodybuilder since childhood. His two great idols were Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester StalloneHe wanted to have a body like his, so he went to a gym in his city and, reading magazines, changed his diet to cope with his problems.

Before his death at the age of 36 He was 1.85 meters tall and weighed 165 kilograms. Moreover, his muscles had a monstrous appearance. In fact, his intention was exactly that. That when people crossed paths with him, they saw a monster.

Deadly Diet

Iliya Gollem knew that his diet was dangerous. In fact, when he showed it on his social media, he insisted that his followers not try to copy him. And the diet was unbalanced, with some nutrients in short supply, others in excess, and, most importantly, the doses were extremely excessive.

Magazine Men’s health published something that contained an example of it 7 meals a day. First of all, for breakfast I ate 300 grams of oatmeal. He did it at 8 am. Then I had 108 pieces of sushi. Then the third meal consisted of 1.3 kg of beef steaks and a pancake dessert with ice cream. Fourth, I ate half a kilo of rice, olives, omega-3 supplements and a plate of fresh pasta. For the fifth meal, I chose 200 grams of cheese and 300 grams of pasta. Then the sixth meal contained another 1.3 kilograms of beef and 700 grams of cottage cheese. And finally, at 9:15 pm I ate 14 oatmeal pancakes with maple syrup.

All this added up to 16,500 calories and meant about 3 kilograms of carbohydrates based on oats, rice and pasta, some 3.5 kilograms of protein-rich foods.such as beef and salmon, and an equally large amount of fat, both dairy and vegetable (from olives).

The contribution of many vitamins and antioxidants is small. There is also not much fiber, with the exception of oats, as pasta and rice do not seem to be whole grains. There are no fruits or vegetables. Without a doubt, this is a very unhealthy diet. It can cause cardiovascular problems and metabolic diseases such as diabetes type 2But, curiously, this is not the most dangerous thing that Ilya Golem did.

We have already seen that Ilya Gollem ate many times a day and that a significant portion of the food consisted of carbohydrates. This represents such a huge supply of glucose that the cells will not be able to use it. Therefore, it was put into effect 50 units of insulin per day. This is a hormone that helps cells absorb glucose from the bloodstream. Its levels need to be monitored because going too far is as bad as not reaching it.

Diabetics sometimes don’t produce insulin in their bodies, so they have to get it exogenously. However, Elijah Gollem wasn’t a diabetic. At least that’s known. If you were to eat a balanced diet with quantities adapted to your needshe wouldn’t need anything to help him incorporate glucose into his cells to keep eating. Your own insulin would be enough.

This is dangerous in itself. But the worst is yet to come. It seems that Illia Gollem has also used Synthol. This is a highly sought after substance among some bodybuilders. It is made up of 85% oil, 7.5% lidocaine anesthetic and 7.5% benzyl alcohol. When injected, it acts as a kind of implant, as it immediately swells the muscle, without the need for exercise.

Leaving aside the ethics of increasing muscle mass this way, the biggest risk is to your health. There are numerous documented cases of bodybuilders suffering from chronic pain from Synthol punctures. But they can also arise infections or even embolisms if the oil gets into the bloodstream.

At this point, the cause of Iliya Gollema’s death has not been made public, but some possible causes can be speculated. Let’s hope that no one is talking about sudden encephalopathy. Unfortunately, though strong and young, bought a lot of tickets to a fatal outcome.
