If I come across like a woman who leaves things to destiny and cruise through life making inconsistent choices passively going with the flow with the stream, well, let me tell you that truly is a very good description of what my personality is NOT like. I’ve screened and scanned most of my life and [...]

Repeat a mantra and you become it. That is why I practice not feeling exhaustion. In the morning I initiate my self propaganda and brain wash by saying “I am energized, I feel energized” time after time after time. I keep on as I get dressed. I cannot afford to focus on tuning in to [...]

Yesterday morning woke up, did my first cardio session in quiet. I was so fed up with my music I rather did not listen to anything. Some times I enjoy listening to the wheezing sounds from the treadmills, the iron that clashes together in the bench press area and to my own breathing. It cleanses [...]

Taking in people’s comments and opinions is one thing. Adapting what they suggest is another. How do you know when a friend is looking out for you? How do you know if those “good suggestions” are actually not intended to help you but to harm you? Some people are not honest. Yes it is no [...]

Vegetables are mandatory in order to prevent disease and inflammation, but they do come with side effects: gas, bloating, digestive difficulties. With time your body will get accustomed to the fiber rich, hard to chew down veggies by manufacturing just the right enzymes to facilitate the problem, but it takes time! Eating veggies raw is [...]

“When I got to Los Angeles, I didn`t know anybody. The only person I had a little bit contact with was you Pauline, and the day I meet you – and you said “yes” to help me towards my show, I was thrilled! You have been my “superhero”, and inspiration for five years know – [...]

I wonder how many training logs I’ve used, written and thrown away through the past ten years… They really helped me push beyond my limits, making me be aware of what I was doing so I wouldn’t just go to the gym, pick some dumbbells and hope they were the right weight. No, I planned [...]

I’ve taught myself that if the price tag is high on something I want I just need to pay the price or stop wanting it. I’ve taught myself that if I need to work harder to reach a goal than what is conventionally considered to do, well, I need to do that. There are no [...]

Fighter Diet is not just for fighters…but it doesn´t hurt to be one! Meet Marcus Kowal who I´ve worked with since I came to America: When I get ready for a fight, I believe one of my advantages is the shape I come in. I take my training and preparation very serious and it only [...]

I never adopted the cooler trend where every fitness chick carries her little box to keep chicken breasts fresh during travel. To me it´s a hassle to use it and honestly I prefer to be lazier than pre cook food. This is what I do on the road: Always research the internet before you go. [...]

All I want is to be full, content and happy with my food. Satisfaction guaranteed so to speak. I don´t eat grains, starches, fruit, berries, regular yoghurts, juice etc because there are better foods that give me more volume of food but fewer calories. see here, you can have: 1 slice of toast or 2 [...]

Some times I feel like a catholic preach listening to people’s confessions on what they ate, what they did with all that junk food, how much, when, how, with what, the sauces, the extras, the add-ons. Especially pre-contest competitors get so obsessed about eating there is even a term for it: food porn. Before the [...]

Dear Pauline, I want to thank you for being such an inspirational woman to me. Since I have started working with you via your online training about 5 months ago (and many more to come), I have seen a real transformation in my body. The before pictures and after pictures say it all with appearance. [...]

If you just discovered this blog I know you have no idea really what the whole FD concept is about. So let me go through the principles one more time…. Fighter Diet is not a diet for fighters, it’s a lifestyle concept for those who want to be super lean, healthy and extremely fit not [...]

Some people refuse to reflect on what awaits us after death. It´s not being in denial, it´s accepting we don´t know and we won´t know until we die so wondering is a waste of time. You need to live here and now, not in the past and definately not in the future. To me the [...]

I feel the urge to remind all women in particular about what I believe in, where I am coming from and what my philosophy is like…. After a decade of hardcore weight training and consistent paying attention to nutrition and making sure I always strive for more, I am now at a crossroad where I [...]

You want to be and feel healthy? Eat your veggies, get enough sleep exercise a couple of times a week and pick and choose from all foods in moderation. Yeah, even bacon and chocolate are fine when you adhere to the concept of portion control. There you go, get a regular check-up at the doc’s [...]

Things to think about when you are out of thoughts during cardio workouts….. During steady state or recovering between intervals: What countries you want to visit and what places plus who to bring How to invent new cardio machines Think about names for your new nutritional supplement line or fashion line Say one city per [...]

Congrats to my client who got third place in the masters bikini in Excalibur last weekend! Good luck to you for the march show!

Why is being in super, super woman shape so precious to me? Because it shows my independence. I didn’t buy it, I didn’t inherit it, I didn’t steal it, I just worked to be in it. I could have all the money in the world, all the stuff, all the cars, houses, yachts, mansions, properties, [...]

another look from the mexico days

1982: Born being asleep and got woken up with a shower. I hated showers for years ever since. 1988: My sister started to train me. It was bodybuilding era so I had to do pushups and pullups. She did nothing herself. 1990: I made my first new-years promise not to eat any candy. I held [...]

My Norwegian client Heidi Vonka Koi won the Excalibur show this past weekend! Big congrats to her! One way closer to achieving her pro card…

Here are some pics from mexico. More to come from different looks and outfits! behind the scenes,,,

Winds of Change of blowing in my life.  The circle is to be closed once again. Ten years ago I turned to bodybuilding to change my body into a lean, muscular piece of art. I wanted to grace the magazines as a fitness model. Years went by, my heart was in the gym, lifting weights [...]

Q: We don’t absorb any calories from wheat bran, is that the same for oat bran? Pauline answers: Well, this is not totally true, I am sure we find data telling we do absorb nutrients from bran, however, if you watch what comes out the back door (yeah, we keep things easy straight here) you [...]
