Amy Shapiro, the founder of Real Nutrition, said about Vertical Diet:
“The vertical diet was created to help bodybuilders easily put on mass to meet weight-gain goals without digestive issues.”

Stan is the nutrition coach of Hafthor “Thor” Bjornsson, a professional strongman who is best known for performing as The Mountain (Ser Gregor Clegane) on Game of Thrones.
Bjornsson is the first person to have won the World’s Strongest Man, Europe’s Strongest Man, and the Arnold Strongman Classic in the same calendar year.
To maintain his current level of muscle, Bjornsson eats more than 8,000 calories a day.
