Escorts and Carbs

[Deadlift1]

In order to keep in tip top shape in addition to working out do u diet or regularly eat clean? Do u eliminate most carbs and breads or limit them to different times of the day? Do you have a regular cheat day? Whats ur favorite cheat food?

I had a snack of homemade popcorn, butter, and Himalayan Sea salt. I washed it down with a Crystal Pepsi. Of course everyday doesn't look like that. I am not strict on carbs. It's tough when I travel since I cannot prep any meals in advance.

[ChristianCronin]

I eat whatever I want actually:cool:

 

I do however make sure I eat a lot of vegetables and drink A LOT of water. It's easy to drink a bunch of water since I work at a gym. I probably could benefit from a more strict diet, though...

Plant based diet / I love carbs

I eat what I want in moderation usually. I dont do low fat or non fat. Why? Because often times theres added shit that really isn't good for you, ie diet sodas. So in short, I will eat my eggs, bacon, butter, juice, water, ice cream, dark chocolates, gummi bears and be happy.

 

Hugs,

Greg

Did you really drink “Crystal Pepsi”? I’m not mocking you. I’m incredulous. What is that? Sorry for my confusion. I’m from Georgia. We have only Coke,

[+ VictorPowers]

Essentially Pepsi marketed Crystal Pepsi back in 1992 as a clear Cola. They discontinued it a couple years later. Fast forward to 2017 where they made another run temporarily to appease the fans that loved it. It's a unique drink and pretty interesting. I'm not a big soda drinker in general, but it's nice to indulge.

My diet is higher and carbs and lower in fats.

 

I'm not sure if this is the place to go into detail, but my research suggests that a higher carb / lower fat diet is likely better for maintaining a low body fat percentage.

 

From an anthropological standpoint, look at Asian cultures: a lot of rice, vegetables, and some fruit. In fact, the traditional Okinawan diet was based on a purple sweet potato, about 80% of their daily calories coming from carbohydrates,...and along with many other Asian cultures, the people were thin (average BMI of around 20 in adulthood on Okinawa in 1950).

 

With that said, I think that "a lot of roads lead to Rome" when it comes to dieting, and it's important to remember that NO DIET will work unless you are in an energy deficit.

 

 

So, whatever diet you choose, as long as you don't consume more energy than you burn, you will stay thin.

Just FYI: Publix in Atlanta has Pepsi products on sale buy one get one free. Coke is buy two get one free.

 

For the record, I despise Pepsi and I didn't even grow up in Georgia.

@Lance_Navarro, is that a way of saying that one shouldn't care about size? Of course I agree about the pasta and wine part!!

Well, staying healthy and in good shape is certainly important giving the industry we are working in, but we certainly don't all need to have a 6 pack to be happy or successful. Personal development and growth for me is as much about mind and spirit as it is body.

Ive heard alot about the asian diet and plant based diet lately.

It's true, though I'm not sure the relevance. You mean that a big dick is an advantage in this business?

[GasparJohnson]

Ive heard alot about the asian diet and plant based diet lately.

 

There are "blue zones" around the world where people tend to have very long life expediencies...and the people tend to be thin, too: Okinawa is one of them.

 

Although the diets vary, they tend to be:

 

1. Higher in carbohydrates

2. Lower in saturated fat, higher in monounsaturated fat

3. Often have cultured dairy

 

However, health and body composition are not one in the same: if you are in an energy surplus, you will gain weight...if you are in an energy deficit, you will lose weight. There are some competitive bodybuilders who use IIFYM (If It Fits Your Macros), a style of dieting in which you can eat whatever you want as long as you hit your calorie and macronutrient goals for the day, in order to get ready for their competitions. Pop-tarts are symbolic of this style of dieting. Is this style of dieting the best way to go about it? Probably not,...but even if you eat chicken breast, brown rice, broccoli, and olive oil every day...you won't have abs if you eat too much of it.

 

IE: Traditionally, sumo wrestlers frequently ate a stew called "chanko nabe," consisting of chicken meatballs, seafood, and vegetables. They normally drank a lot of beer, too. However, they did not eat pizza, cake, and ice cream...yet they still were not what most people would call "aesthetic."

 

Like I already said, you can lose weight on any diet...and you can also gain weight on any diet: it's just that some diets are more conducive to one or the other.

I’m just pointing out that you probably have a different set of “standards” on your body habitus than someone without your formidable endowment.

Not everyone loves a big dick. But also it's something that I was born with, not something that I've had to work toward, though it has taken work to learn how to use it well.

I'd rather keep a great body AND eat carbs.

 

It can be done with the right trainer, the right carbs and an overwhelming love of a stair machine.

I tried the versaclimber for the first time recently, very efficient way to burn off excess calories.
