Lauralie Chapados has quickly become the new face of the IFBB Pro League Bikini division. On January 1, 2025, she walked fans through her six-meal full day of eating as she locks down her diet for the 2025 Arnold Classic, set to take place from February 27 to March 2 in Columbus, Ohio.
Lauralie Chapados will aim to accomplish a rare feat when she makes her way to the 2025 Arnold Classic. In October 2024, she cemented herself as the number one Bikini competitor in the world, having outshone former three-time Olympia winner Ashley Kaltwasser in a stunning display to capture her first title.
She now has the chance to win both of the sport’s most prestigious honors in short order. And her odds couldn’t be greater considering Chapados has managed to secure three consecutive Arnold Classic victories from 2022-2024. Below she detailed the diet she’s using to bring an even more refined package to the stage with hopes of becoming a four-time Ms. Bikini International titleholder.
