I loved this Phnom Penh Post story - what a testament to focus and commitment. Cambodians should be so proud of Sopheak.
"I didn't know clearly what food was necessary for bodybuilding," he said....Polo remembered meeting a Thai athlete in Hong Kong last year, who set him straight on the correct way to balance his diet. "He told me what food to eat and what not to eat."
Moreover, Polo noted that his food requirement was extremely expensive, with six daily meals including eggs, fish, vegetables, fruit and chicken breast, costing between US$15 and $20 per day. "My mother always scolded me because she was not sure what my money was spent on when she gave it to me," Polo revealed.
