    To be honest i think many, many people misunderstand diet. They look at Brad Pitt and Jessica Alba and think, yeah, i wanna look like that, and they expect to be able to look like that all the time.

    I have found, the only people who can REALLY maintain that kind of spot on condition are proper athletes, be they runners, rowers, boxers, whatever. it's that constant level of training and attention to diet that puts them in that nick.

    People don't seem to realise that most actors/models etc go on strict regiems to get them in proper physical shape for films and shoots and whatever.

    All in all, i have found that my weight and my condition has always fluctuated. I have dieted and work myself down to great tone and a fabulous six pack, only to see it gone within the month if i ease up on the training or the diet. Personnally, i believe there is a healthy state you can pretty much be all the time, holding a firm flat stomach and a hint of six pack and that you can get this down to a chiseled sixer with a months hard work and thats the way i personally try and stay. ( unfortunately i am not even there at the moment as i spent a long time rehabing an injury and gained some weight at the time, but i'm back on the right track now ). I always found if i try and keep my water and bodyfat very low i feel a bit weak and seem to be susceptible to illness as well, so i found my middle ground for my own physical comfort and the fact that i am only human, not a pro model, actor of bodybuilder and as such i just do not need to be in that kind of condition year round!

    Basically, most of the time i am eating in about the 350 to 500 calories a day more the my maintainence, as if allows me to add a little bit of mass here and there but never get to out of shape!!!

    (( Sorry for such a long winded answer, i kinda lost the run of myself ))

    was it padre pio who said about the ship " if you do not go forward you will be blown back by the wind" ? Defeat awaits those who stand still. like the french in WW2, like the guy at the gym, like the rat on the wheel..maintainence? ha! seek out some other challange and go forward with that. maintenence be damned..


    happy christmas
