Body builder hairstylist consumes 6,000 calories a day

Simon Ackroyd, 45, a body builder and hairstylist who is preparing to compete to become Mr. Universe, consumes 6,000 calories a day according to the Daily Mail. 

Just by looking at Simon -- he has a 147 cm chest, 53 cm biceps and 74 cm thighs -- nobody would guess that he is a hairstylist. 

Simon is a married man, a father of four and has worked as a hairstylist for 30 years and worked on his body for 18 years. To keep his body builder figure, he works out “two hours a day, five days a week” and eats 6,000 calories every day. 

“Some people judge me only by my appearance and think of me as some kind of monster but if they talk to me they realize that I’m a nice guy,” Simon said. He also added that some can’t imagine that he works as a hairstylist but that his regular clients are proud of him.

The reason he keeps in shape is because he wants to become Mr. Universe, a longtime dream of his -- a goal that makes him work out five days a week and consume 6,000 calories a day despite his busy schedule. If he gets elected as Mr. Universe he will go for Mr. World. His wife “is growing tired” of preparing the 6,000 calorie meal every day and wants him to retire after the Mr. World competition.
