Daniela Katzenberger’s New Book Reveals Marriage Crisis Fueled by Bodybuilding Diet

Katzenberger links the turmoil to mood swings from a strict competition diet during her bodybuilding preparation.

Overview

  • In "Katze goes Muskelkater," published January 28 by Südwest, the TV personality pairs training and nutrition guidance with frank accounts of private strain.
  • She writes that during preparation with trainer Tobias Wendeler the couple argued up to 15 times a day, slept in separate rooms, and repeatedly contemplated divorce.
  • Katzenberger describes the diet phase as a "torture-hunger survival fight," saying irritability from extreme restriction overwhelmed daily life on Mallorca.
  • Following major weight loss, she underwent breast surgery to better match her new physique and to ease neck, back, and shoulder pain, which she says improved.
  • She reports the marriage has stabilized and credits Lucas Cordalis for "nerves of titanium," noting their relationship ultimately endured the ordeal.
