It is not easy for me to digest meat. I waste too much energy in digesting meat, and that's why I get my proteins from other products. I like beans and other legume plants very much. I need a lot of 'live' products such as fruit and vegetables.
From Ilya Ilyin
My main goal is to become the most successful weightlifter in history.
I try not to eat anything which is too fat, and I can't eat anything which is too sweet.
I think chicken and horse meat are ideal food because it's very easy to digest.
I love my life. I love my work. I love my training. It's all due to my love for life, my love for people. I'm very happy to be alive.
I do believe food plays an important role in preparation for the Olympics or any competition.
Chicken and horse meat are the best foods for weightlifters, and good food is important.
If you have less weight, you have less strength.
The Olympics have their own unique atmosphere and energy. People might say it's just the same as any other competition, but don't kid yourself. There's a hunger for victory.
By nature, I was a little guy with big legs - a stocky lad.
