People at the gym have been asking me how I got so lean, and I tell them I eat whatever I want (within reason, of course) and just focus on keeping protein intake high without going over calorie limit. They have a hard time accepting that I don't strictly eat brussel sprouts and broccoli. They also have a hard time believing that while I maintain a six pack, I still every day have either a bowl of ice cream or a peanut butter and Jelly sandwich. If it fits your macros, basically it's ok.
You absolutely have to enjoy your diet or you will fail. That's the one thing I tell anyone who wants to know the secret. Long slow progress that's sustainable is the key. It's a paradigm which has only caught on with those willing to educate themselves.
