This one is very interesting
For decades Mark Taylor was a successful bodybuilder, winning competitions across the country.
He trained hard and followed the high protein, low carbohydrate diet favoured by many bodybuilders wanting to gain muscle.
But the father-of-two from Fife felt tired all the time, his muscles looked "flat" - and he still hadn't achieved his dream of winning a Mr Universe title.
It was only when a new coach suggested he ditch his strict diet that he finally took the coveted Mr Universe Masters Over 45 crown.
She told him to eat sweet potatoes, white potatoes, grapes and porridge as well as his usual chicken and broccoli.
