hey rochard? what happens when you stop 'biking' 20 miles a day? you swell up... diet is 85% and exercise only helps maintain when it comes to fat loss... diet does not have to be lowering calories, there are better options.

And yes no one would want to live on this diet. It is a crash to get you to where you want to be quickly.

And people should stop being scared of fat. Fat isn't what makes you fat. Carbs make you fat.

you need fats every day, not once every few days. Like i said, nuts and seeds are fine for in betweens, don't have to do it with cheese and bacon.
