That's sort of how it's going for me. My diet wasn't very good, but I was making satisfactory gains. However, I've changed that now and I've started drinking more water and eating some healthier foods. I hope even the little changes will count in the long run (the short run would help too).

Thanks Royal One, SB I suppose a relative improvement in diet for most people is realistic, while a perfect clean diet is not

One thing I've learned regarding diet, every little bit counts. For myself, cutting out sugar was the first step, now everything else is falling in-line. I am finally able to reap the rewards of my hard work. Glad I could be of help.
