Screw the diets, I like to eat too much. So, I decided to exercise.....

[Sinister]

So you're advocating high protein AND high carbs?

...an I'm probably not reading that book.

I watch that show Life Below Zero and during the winter months they have to eat up to 8,000 calories a day. Much of the meat has no fat so it's pretty gross what they have to eat.

I would be dead within a week

Dieting is a temporary fix to a weight problem. If your goal is to be healthy, you need to adopt a healthy life style. That means you're eating better at all times (not just for a month or not just until you lose x amount of lbs). However, your body still needs small amounts of all that bad crap, so it's okay to treat yourself to a cheat meal each week. I don't follow a strict eating plan. I just don't eat something I know is garbage. It's pretty simple. I also workout 6 days a week. Being a trucker makes it difficult, especially when you like lifting, like I do. But it's possible. If you don't want to alter your diet, that's fine and your choice, but don't be surprised when you don't get the results you were hoping for. Health is 70% diet. If it helps, slowly phase out certain foods. Just jumping on the healthy eating train can have some nasty effects on your attitude. You will literally go through withdraw from lacking certain foods youvised to eat a lot of (especially sugar). Slowly improve your diet over time. Eventually, bad foods that used to be common to your daily eating, don't appeal to you anymore. Above all else, healthy living is a mental change.

If you affect your load with you in the truck, then start dieting you fat a**!

Just kidding my large friends.

Seriously, do some pull ups, then you'll feel how heavy you are.

Pull ups? I do that pretty often. My arms are like hydraulic machines. No problem there.

That's it though. The rest of me is pure Pillsbury Doughboy. The 6 pack abs I had when I was 17 are almost a keg now.
