    Was just talking to OD about this yesterday, it wasn't until I figured out my nutrition is when I put on size, and the whole myth that carbs will make you fat concept, the right kind of carbs and lots of them (especially if you intensely train 2+ hours a day) your body needs them to perform at your best, and eating the nutrients your body needs to repair and refuel at the right time. I am at 262 right now, and my body fat is pretty low, and I am eating 5800 cals daily, 3800 come from complex carbs...it has been a long time coming to figure it out but you have to see how your body reacts to the foods you consume. For instance...I eat every single morning 15 egg whites, 2 yolks, and 2 servings of Steel Cut Oats with dried cranberries... doesn't change because my body likes that food, as well as other meals are either chicken breast, 1-2c brown rice, and a green veggie like asparagus, or green beans, or broccoli. I don't detour from what I eat daily, just use some low sugar BBQ sauce or something like honey mustard. I will have sushi as a cheat meal, or pizza, or burger, but stick with what works best for your body. I don't eat red meat much at all, even the leanest cuts are high in fats, so stick with leaner choices daily. Can never go wrong with chicken/turkey and rice!!! It's who I am and I really don't consider it dieting either...it's a mind set.

    Absolutely! Spices, condiments (low sugar ones), olive oils (flavored), vinegars, and creating meals with flavor is fun, mindset my brother...mindset.

    Right on although I differ in that keto works best for me, I get plenty of energy can train for hours and muscles swell while the fat drops. Once I'm back down to -5-6% will incorporate more than one cheat meal, used to do complete weekend on re-feeds. Along the lines of Dr Mauro Di Pasquale Anabolic diet but with cleaner proteins and healthier fats.

    This is a great thread !! MA adjusted my diet and moved my protein up the ladder - lowered my carbs and gave me some great fats . Plus- changed my intensity in gym and " Boom " the weight is rolling off - but is fat - not muscle .Keep in mind at my age - I am not trying to get6 huge - just want to look good - feel good -and enjoy life . Hard to enjoy life when one is out of breath - looks like crap - and eating crap !! Diet is everything . Orange has also found this out and he is looking great like MA .
    Gear has it's importance - but I hear people all the time saying that a guy is big from gear !! That is pure BS - more like intensity - and great diet - at ANY age ~ Thanks-Pops

    Improving your diet is a fast and easy way to extend your life. There are several different kinds of diets, and each one can have it's benefits.
    Eat better , get enough rest, although you may think more sleep means less time living, the amount of quality sleep can help you live longer.
    Your diet plays a huge role in the quality and length of your life. It can reduce the likelihood that you'll contract major diseases and perpetuate a healthy and happy lifestyle that would add several years to your life.

    Wouldn't it be great to spin back the hands of time and get an extended look at life? Well , although there may not be a way to go back in time, there is a way to extend it..............AM
