My Daily Diet Tips

[NJRipped]

I knew this would come up as it always does. There is much more to life than FOOD! I know it doesn't seem that way but seriously there is. There are millions of books with so many different activities available to you that it would boggle your mind. Food is not an activity - it is a necessity of life. Treat it as such and spend your time doing much more fun/productive activities.

There is more to life my friend.......you have to have balance....no one reading your book is going to be stepping on the Las vegas stage come October, so it's going to have to appeal to the majority of people who live to eat instead of eating to live......there are way too many great foods out there that 95% of the population are not and WILL not give up......If so, the resteraunt business would crumble, grocery stores would be a thing of the past, and the nation would falter because everyone who fails to plan would have to rush home to cook..........it ain't gonna happen. Not in your lifetime. A book, that shows people the proper way to feed their bodies, with the ingredients that taste GOOD and are ALSO GOOD FOR THEM, will be muich more lucrative in the long haul.........

WHY would you cook when you could stop at BK on the way home????????

Why workout if you could just come home and sit in front of the tube with your hand down your pants and do your best Al Bundy imitation.




You're either dedicated and into it or you're not.
If you're eating healthy stopping by BK because you're "too tired" (lazy) you're just not into it.

why not consume food in pre-digested form through your anus? After all very bioavailable and efficient.But that's of course if you yourself is ANAL.
The other day in cafeteria I overheard two chicks arguing about tomatoes - one was claiming that certain type/growth method of tomatoes affected its sugar content (it was higher) and therefore was a poor choice for consumption.
So, umm, yea, you could buy scales with .01g error, measuring spoons/scoops and set your timer towards food intake. But you wouldn't tell anyone that because everyone would think you're anal.
I agree with Jkurz there's one, short life - healthy lifestyle is a good thing, but conditioning yourself to eat is an extreme (which 24/7/365/end-life dieting is).


Oh, and as far as this 'Daily Diet Tip' venture goes you could at least back up your shit - reiterating and dogmatizing same old claims won't sell your book. Yea, I know, we heard it all before

Damn you're bitter. lol But good entertainment value.

As one who works with 100's on customized programs, it's not reality to teach people to eat for only what they need and AVOID spices/seasonings/great tasting food. Good in theory, very bad in practice.

You can have the best of both worlds, it's all in the education and helping people to realize they can eat great tasting foods and still get ripped. It's worked for all those I assist, and I guarantee you will NEVER SEE any bland food on any program I've created. It's very easy to eat to achieve your goals and eat delicious foods, you just have to have a plan of attack, be a person who has the "fire inside" of him/her to begin with (without that forget it no matter what appproach you are trying to teach) and once the results start rolling in, everyone sees that it's entirely possible.

It all lies in the person wishing to change. The desire to change must be greater that the desire to stay the same. Period.

Truth be told, one key focal point of my VIP forum is the great tasting recipes circulating around that fit for the meals I "prescribe", and there is no reason why one cannot eat that way for the rest of his/her life and be lean/ripped/at his/her desired goal. Great tasting recipes that fit into a productive dietary approach is a huge asset in keeping someone ON their program. Eating shoe leather daily would cause many to fall off the ladder.

To have people eat bland crap the rest of their natural lives, is far from being realistic. If that's the idea you wish to get out there, keep in mind you'll have one hell of a hard time selling that concept.

I'd most certainly never touch that idea. It's all yours.

Everyone fights me on the taste issue. lol Sure you can make great tasting, very healthy foods without too much effort. But you're still addicted to great tasting food.

Let me ask you a question: Do you have the body you want or do you need some work? If you answered yes then move on, you don't need my diet. Most will answer "not yet" to that question. If you answered "not yet" then ask yourself why? You're able to cook very healthy foods that are tasty but why aren't you there yet? When, in the foreseeable future, do you expect to attain your goals? And what will you do to get to your goals?

My point is that everyone here has been trying for so long, has so much information available to them yet still have not attained their goals. I understand that people want to be optomistic but I'll tell you straight out that it won't happen. Why would it? Ok, I've rambled on enough.

Very well stated.

Ditto.

Well, you're assuming I'm addicted to great tasting food. I could assume that you have control issues with food and body image - but I choose not to.

And I'm not sure why cooking healthy foods that don't taste like shoe leather is to be considered an addiction?

I "get" what you're saying but let me also point out to as someone very familiar with those with eating disorders and issues of control you might be balancing on the edge of a whole other kind of addiction (or obsession).

So be mindful how you choose to word your advice.

Otherwise, I'd be very interesting to read your book.

(not because I'm diet obsessed but because I'm reading obsessed.)

You're right, it isn't reality YET. It also isn't reality that people can eat great tasting foods and still STAY ripped. A major problem with diets is that one day the diet ends and people regress back to their regular eating patterns. I challenge you to find even three people out of the 77k people on this board who are able to stay ripped year 'round (and this is a fitness board).

I can honestly say I've been ripped for the last 3 years, 365/per......and I enjoyed every meal I ate, given 2-3 when I was ill..........

Tis why I;m changing my goals to add a little mass because I need variety.....Life is too short to skimp on the pleasures of life. Sure there are activities to do, things to see, but experimenting with the diffeent "spices" of life keep us wanting more....

I stay ripped (5-7%bodyfat) year round. I find that eating clean for 6 days and then allowing one or two cheat meals on the seventh day is ideal. I eat anything i want for the cheat meals(pizza,ice cream, etc.) I find that this allows me to maintain a strict diet year round while keeping my sanity. I also am very strict about performing 30-45 min of hard cardio per day.

I am currently 5'10'' 210lbs at 6% bodyfat.
