| You may have noticed him on NBC's "America's Got Talent," Style Network's "How Do I Look?," Spike TV's "Deadliest Warrior" and most recently on Logo's RuPaul's Drag Race (season two).
And with his smooth black skin, devilish grin and chiseled abs he has tongues wagging with envy and desire.
But make no mistake - Max Philisaire has a game plan that includes a lot more than just being today's "eye candy."
|
The 25-year-old Haitian native came with his family to South Florida when he was eight only to experience what he says was the typical bullying that third world citizens often face.
He had to learn a new language and a new way of life.
"It only strengthened my character and I remained positive," Philisaire said.
|
"After graduating from Olympic Heights High School, where I was on the varsity basketball and track teams, I started to focus religiously on my nutrition and workout program so that I could develop my desired physique."
Max's plan included a stint in the U.S. Army as a combat engineer, taking him to places like Germany, Kosovo and Iraq. But even in these dangerous situations, he maintained his workout regiment. After completing his tour of duty, he returned to South Florida with his eyes on becoming a full time fitness model and personal trainer.

Soon his body was being featured in everything from music videos and fashion shows to fitness and hip hop magazines. Now he is working on a line of inspirational and motivational posters as well as a calendar, fitness guide and workout videos. "The whole concept is to inspire and motivate others to be fair to themselves and others while maintaining a healthy lifestyle," he said.
"Above all, I plan to brand myself not only as a Haitian male sex symbol but most important as a positive role model." You can find more pictures and information about Max Philisaire on a variety of social networks including: www.Maxthebody.com or www.Maxphilisaire.net.

Max's Nutrition Guidelines
and Daily Meal Plan
|
| Eat every 2-3 hours. These meals should contain complete proteins such as: egg whites, fish, soy protein isolate, veal, beef, lamb or chicken breast. Vegetables that top my list include: broccoli, celery, spinach, corn, green peas, lima beans and carrots and the best fruits are grapefruit, apricots, pears, apples, berries, strawberries and cranberries. |
| Have carbohydrates in the morning (oats, whole wheat); during exercise simple carbs like honey, fruits vegetables and berries are great - after your workout you need to take in complete proteins. |
| Remember that 25 to 30% of your diet should be fats. These include extra virgin olive oil, salmon and fish oil. You can supplement with high DHA/EPA fish oils such as Omega-3 Fish Oil. |
| |
| |
| Drink plenty of water. You can also drink dark teas and red wine (one glass per night is recommended). |
| Plan out your meals before your scheduled time to eat because it will keep you on track. I try to pack meals for work and travel in containers that are easy to carry. |
| Eat a complete protein, vegetable/fruit and a complex carbohydrate meal (bread, rice, pasta, crackers or potatoes) no later than one hour after your workout is completed. Carbohydrates are rich in fiber. |
| |
| |
| Daily breakfast: grapefruit, egg whites, oatmeal, cottage cheese, Kellogg's Whole Bran Cereal, non-fat milk |
| Mid-snack: cottage cheese, fruit, vegetables, sandwich |
| Lunch: turkey, chicken breast, steak, mixed vegetables, brown rice, pasta |
| Mid-snack: mixed nuts, fruits, vegetables |
| Pre-workout: yogurt, fruits |
| Post-workout: egg whites, chicken salad, mixed vegetables |
