(Example: At breakfast every morning, I have an omelet, a waffle, two bolls of cereal, a bagel and two pieces of assorted fruit. I wash it down with two glasses of juice. If I stopped doing that and skipped breakfast or had two pieces of toast, my body would be pissed).
The key is to not change your diet. You won't stick to it. You need to do something that you can keep up. Just take what you eat and make it healthier. If you want a steak, eat a fucking steak, just have the sirloin instead of the ribeye. Want a beer? Have a beer, just have 4 pints instead of 5. You get the picture. Ranger Up Fitness

Interesting site. I disagree with some of what he says though. Like "Avoid fruit". I eat fruit every day, usually one banana, a handful of blueberries, and several strawberries. They contain a lot of antioxidants and stuff that the body needs. Avoiding fruit altogether is foolish. It's okay to eat
some sugar as long as you're exercising too, that way it's not stored as fat.
I've been following a guy named Hugo Rivera's advice for awhile and am getting great results. Here's some stuff he wrote...
