Leonida Ciobu is a Wellness professional from Moldova who won the 2026 Romania Muscle Fest Pro on 7 November 2026. It was her third Romania title, after 2022 and 2025, and her seventh professional win.
Six weeks earlier she finished fourth at the 2026 Mr. Olympia in Las Vegas. It was her best Olympia finish and her fifth consecutive Olympia appearance. She is qualified for the 2027 Mr. Olympia.
This article covers her diet plan and workout routine from her own words only. One thing is stated plainly at the start: no current meal plan, foods, calories, or macros are published in her own words.
What does exist is real but historical. She published a full keto experiment in 2021, a macro regime in 2020, and fish-first food guidance in 2026. Her supplements are named. Her training is not a split — it is a handful of dated posts.
Her coach is @gheroinn, who she calls “my coach and soul”. Her sponsors are Tsunami Nutrition, with promo code Leo, and Biowell Labs. She sells training and nutrition plans through leociobu.com.
Diet Plan
No current meal plan, foods, calories, or macros are published in Leonida Ciobu’s own words. This section prints what she has actually shared — a 2021 experiment and a 2020 regime — and says plainly that neither is her current diet.

The only full regime she has ever published is a keto experiment she shared on 27 April 2021, in a series of ten posts. She introduced it as a nutritionist who must try methods herself, not only read about them.
She kept the strict regime for four months, and her goal was reducing body fat. Her personal regime was 1,700 kcal: 70% fats, animal and vegetable, 25% protein, and 5% carbs from vegetables and sometimes forest berries.
She combined her foods in three ways: protein with green vegetables; fats like nuts as a snack or with protein; and fats with protein and green vegetables. Those three combinations are the whole food list she published.
Week one brought water loss and a controlled appetite. Week two brought almost no appetite, slight weakness, and glycogen depleted fast from intense gym work.
By week three she was fully adapted: fat reduction, a slim abdomen, no appetite, and permanent energy. The minus was flat muscles and a lack of power in short, heavy training.
Her conclusion was that keto is easy and superb for people who do not plan to work at high intensity. She said she plans to return to it outside competitions, and that there is no exact data on how long one can stay on keto — it is very individual.
Ten months before the keto series, on 11 June 2020, she shared a macro regime as she came out of a relaxation period: 150 carbs, 80–100 protein, and 40–70 fats in grams, with regime violations on weekends.
Both regimes are historical. The 2020 macros and the 2021 keto experiment are the only full diets she has ever published, and neither is her current plan.
Meal Plan
There is no full day of eating in her own words. No current meal plan, no menu, and no calories are published anywhere she controls.
What she has shared about food in 2026 starts with fish. On 27 July 2026 she called quality fish and seafood her favourite source of protein for recovery and performance.
On 21 May 2026 she named her favourites: salmon, mackerel, and trout for Omega-3, and tuna, shrimp, and sea bream for protein. She said they are her favourites regardless of goal — muscle growth or calorie deficit — and that she includes them constantly in her diet.
On 9 July 2026 she posted fish from @oceanfish.md going to the oven, and said it would definitely be in her menu more than once: low calorie, low fat, and rich in protein.
Her food guidance, posted on 14 May 2026, is simple: good protein, vegetables, quality carbs, and healthy fats, cooked in 10–20 minutes. No complications, and no “strict diet” — just food that gives energy, results, and a good state.
One single breakfast survives from 2020: avocado and an omelette fried in coconut oil, posted on 26 July 2020. It is one posted breakfast, not a plan.
She sells meal plans through leociobu.com, and she posted about them on 14 July 2023. The plans she sells are not her own menu, and this article does not present them as one.
Her 29 April 2026 post about calculating a caloric deficit is coaching, not her diet. She explains how a deficit works, says it must not be extreme, and warns against starving or cutting calories drastically.
The honest bottom line of this section is simple: her current meal plan is not published. This article prints what she has actually shared, and it invents nothing.
Supplements
Her supplement sponsors are Tsunami Nutrition, with promo code Leo, and Biowell Labs. She joined the Tsunami team in November 2025, and she calls Tsunami her go-to choice for performance, recovery, and consistent results.

Her morning shake, posted on 21 August 2023, names four supplements: L-carnitine, L-glutamine, creatine, and BCAA. She posted it with promo code Leo. No doses are named.
Five months earlier, on 9 March 2023, she posted a supplement list: creatine, joint support, glutamine, BCAA, and L-carnitine, with Balkan Pro Health and promo code Leo.
Three years later, on 16 May 2026, she named the Tsunami pre-workout: “preworkout-ul de la Tsunami Nutrition își face treaba… Energie constantă, Focus și concentrare, pump nebun” — constant energy, focus, and a crazy pump.
On 5 June 2026 she listed what Tsunami covers for her: premium protein supplements, effective amino acids and pre-workouts, and recovery and wellness products. On 3 August 2026 she added that code LEO gives 10% off.
Two of her supplement posts name no products at all. Her “most frequent supplements” of 22 July 2024, with Balkan Pro Health, and her “best supplements” of 10 September 2026, with Tsunami, show the products in the image without naming them in the caption.
Biowell Labs is her other sponsor. On 9 November 2025 she wrote, “My sponsors @biowell.labs @tsunaminutrition”, after thanking the Biowell team on 19 October 2025.
No supplement dose is named anywhere in her own words. No individual product name is published for the 2024 or 2026 supplement photos — only the brands.
Workout Routine
No training split, exercise list, sets, or reps are published in Leonida Ciobu’s own words. This section prints the training moments she has actually shared.

She has done strength training since 2012. She said so in a post on 5 March 2020: “Sală de forta fac din 2012.”
Three days out from Romania 2026, on 4 November 2026, she posted a pump workout in Bucharest at Downtown Fitness. It was her last posted training session before the show she won.
During Olympia prep she posted cardio in Las Vegas on 16 September 2026, ten days before the Olympia. On 8 October 2026, a month before Romania, she posted her “last workout before flight”.
On 23 July 2026 she counted down 65 days to the Olympia: “65 days when every workout, every meal and every hour of recovery bring me closer to the most important stage in the world.”
On 3 August 2026 she wrote, “There are no shortcuts. Only discipline, work and consistency. Every workout brings me one step closer to the most important stage in the world.”
Posing is part of her work, not just her training. She runs posing seminars for Bikini and Wellness athletes and takes posing clients.
Diet Plan in 2026
Five years after the keto experiment, her 2026 food guidance is fish and seafood as her favourite protein, simple food choices, and the Tsunami supplements she names in her posts.
Her 2026 season ran from a US swing in May — third at the Pittsburgh Pro, second at the New York Pro, and a Miami Pro win — to fourth at the Olympia on 26 September, and then the Romania win six weeks later on 7 November.
On 27 January 2026 she posted a transformation: “Me (2017) VS Me (2025) 50kg/66kg #bikinitowellness”. Eight years apart, 50 kg in 2017 and 66 kg in 2025. It is a transformation comparison, not a stage weight.
On 4 October 2026 she called the 2026 Olympia her fifth consecutive Olympia, and “without doubt, my best version so far”. She is qualified for the 2027 Mr. Olympia.
More than seven years after turning professional in June 2019, she is a three-time Romania champion with seven professional wins. If she publishes a current meal plan, this article will be updated with it.
