When I get people on the right program and they realize how much they can eat, they get excited cause they thought they would have to go on a "diet"... the only people that do get scared are usually the women (sorry women, don't mean to single you out  )... but they soon realize that fuel is what they need...
This thread is awesome... I hope many of you are achieving your goals and making yourself happy

the one thing people need to realize is that when you starve yourself your body goes into starvation mode which it will then store calories longer. what i like to say is that your body wants to be fat and when you try to lose weight it is a vitual war going on. every bit of this is hard for the most part. and as soon as you stop working out and eating right watch how fast your body will go back to how it used to look like before you started. that is why this is a lifestyle lifelong committment if you want success. it is real easy to go back to the old habits which made you fat in the first place.
