great article baby1 and i know geezer will want to smack me for this but: i diet hard, harder than probably 99% of the people out there. no sugar, i weigh everything and i eat on time every time. so when i am not prepping for a show and i have hit my goals of carbs, protein and fats for the day i will eat a little something bad and one day a wk or 2x a month i will go all out and have fast food. i know it is horrible but i dont drink and sweets are my weakness. i have the discipline to go 16wks 2x a year without sugar or good food so i owe it to myself to enjoy it for the remainder haha
