I lift weights 3 days a week and do cardio exercise 1-2 days a week and I adopted a strict vegan diet. No meat, no dairy, no sugar, caffeine or booze ( about once a month though I cheat a little and have one or more of those things ) I've never suffered hunger pains because I eat a lot, it's just low calorie food, fruits and veggies and stuff and the weight has just dropped off. I can't belive how much better I feel now as compared to a year ago.

Exactly! As long as you're eating fruits and veggies and lean meat and certain nuts you can eat all day.
Problem comes with cooking the food. Once you cook it you lose half the vitamins and minerals. So the more raw the better. Yet for me, a guy who lives for ice cream I have to pump iron or walk, dance etc.
Food processed to death is just that. Since I pump iron I have to have a gram of protein per pound of bodyweight. That's alot of meat except I discovered rice protein a few years ago and lemme tell you, if you wanna get cock strong diesel, add rice protein to your diet. That shit will put muscle on you that's muscle worth having. Low carbs but you need to add other sources for well rounded amino acid intake.
Fat can fuck you up. I had no idea how much it can fuck you up. there's a great article on fat right here:

That article says it all. I live for hot cobbler ala mode and that's my weakness. I don't do drugs, alcohol or smoke and all I had left was ice cream and now breakfast cereals with fruit. It ain't fair I tell you! A man's got a right to ingest poisons!
What's with these egghead scientists? Can't they invent a 'no-fat' pill or safe cigarette or non detrimental alcohol???
It's the fucking year 2005, no flying cars, no talking dogs, no moving sidewalks and no robot love slaves that look like Raquel Welch! WTF is wrong with these scientists for goodness sakes???
Anyhow, I have to go through the pain barrier and eat healthier and leaner. I'm sure I'll be able to knock off 10 lbs in the next two weeks and that's the first step. I enjoy workin' out and after all these years I still listen to my Rocky's Greatest Hits for motivation
