Crash diet progress for those interested in trying

[PainandGain]

I'd feel like crashing if I read it. I guess I'm not meant to be a body builder...I'd rather be an athlete, lift heavy weights, while not going overboard with my 'diet'.

Any extreme I take, I end up binge eating= not healthy. There's a point in time where you need to call it quits, and I think I'm at that point with super-strict dieting. It's not mentally and physically healthy for me.

I will continue eating right, maintaining my muscle, taking my fish oil and daily multi-vitamins, and getting a decent workout in as much as possible, as well as giving my body the rest it needs to hit the gym even harder the next day/week or whatever period of time I need for me.

No books, no 'crash' diets, just what I know is beneficial for ME.

Key word is ME, you all have a great mind set for what you're doing- go for it, but obviously we all are different, our bodies are different, and we have different goals.

Don't get so down about it man.
It happens to the best of us.
Its taken me 6 years of training and trying to eat right, to finally come to the point where I can make myself eat only just half-decently lol.

Sometimes you just feel like you want to stop because it's overwhelming and you get too much into the science of it, and just feel like you are spinning your wheels...

But just remember that consistency is the most important part of building a better body. So as long as you are consistent, then you will continue to see results.

It's just hard in the mean time, when you feel like you wanna get there faster.

Thanks for the good advice. Science and numbers really grind my gears

Haha, yea me too. I had to break my perfectionist ways because I would so into the numbers that I would end up discouraged and then do worse actually.

It's a great place.

It is.
You just have to steer away from the hill country and eastern texas.
That's where you really will find very conservative close-minded idiots.

But in and around austin, dallas, houston, I have always found a nice blend of people. Dallas and austin are especially liberal.
Sure you see cowboys walking around, but even they don't care about the tatt'd up guy with earrings skating by them.
it's pretty chill.

I've always been a big-mouth. And speaking my mind has never been a problem.
