You can't be serious?
I've proven guys like you wrong numerous times when I was a young athlete who ate junk food but was still competitive.
It wasn't until I tried bodybuilding at a competitive level that I had to change my dietary habits.

You lost a supermodel and her dog!
But seriously, that is quite the accomplishment. Good for you! I agree that at your height, 105 is a little scrawny and unhealthy. You're definitely better off in the 120-130 range.

That could be genetics.... btw, welcome back
I hardly consider that dingy skank a supermodel & I seriously feel sorry for her dog!You lost a supermodel and her dog!
...
sure one can be competitive as an "athlete" when it comes to a particular sport, but that has more to do with skill and ability...
when it comes to sculpting one's body, which I believe what this thread is about, diet is critical...
your last comment regarding bodybuilding seems to support his claim...You can't be serious?

That may be true if you are over 40 but for the majority of active folks under middle age -
EXERCISE if the major factor in whether or not they get or stay fit!
There is so much scientific data on this it would boggle the mind.
Look in the news & you will see how there is a big push on now to get physical education back into schools or more prominent.
Read about endicronology & you will see that as you age your intestinal system becomes less effective & coupled with your aging this puts even more pressure on your diet.
Bottom line though -
EXERCISE is KING!!!!
Study the body's response to exercise & you will see it can even change the way in which you process the calories you intake regardless of what it is you intake.
The physiological response to exercise is a matter of scientific fact here - there really is no argument.
STAY OUT OF THIS THREAD KRUSTEE. We both know you haven't worked out in your life, you wouldnt know what an apple was if it hit you in the head.
everything you write on-line is lies or copied and pasted from sites that do know what they are talking about.
People please stop quoting him so i don't have to read the mindless drivel.

Guess I should throw my Canadian Standardized Fitness Test Evaluator certification I got in '95 in the trash then.
I mean, it only counts if some anonymous online people agree that you have it & Adriana says I never did anything in fitness so poof! - there it goes!
Might as well add my BCRPA Certified Weight Trainer to that as well.

have to disagree,
i eat and drink as much as i can consume.
especially beer,
i burn it off, three hours of hard biking five days a week, my comute to work, and on my weekened, i usaully fit somthing else in,
im in my mid fifties, my resting heart rate in mid season goes down to about fifty five fifty eight, i have put guys half my age to shame out on the bike path.
that being said i agree i could have a better diet,
but diet is not 90 percent,
the best quote i ever heard about fitness, and i truely believe this,
was from a ultra marathon runner,
he said 90 percent is mental.
and the other ten percent its mental as well.
I fully agree with you here!
I lent my copy to a friend a couple years ago & haven't seen it since.
Sears does a great job detailing the effects food has on our bodies & how to balance your intake as well as how to reduce inflammation caused by reactions to foods through increased intake of fatty acids & polyphenols.
I've not been on this diet for over 6 years & now that I'm older I can feel the effect of the inflammation in my joints.
Time to hit up my friend for that book!
Here's his website for the rest of you:

This gets into the theory behind the Zone Diet:

Another one which I have on my shelf still (because I bought 3 copies) is Body Rx by Dr. Scott Connelly.
http://www.amazon.com/Body-Rx-Connellys-6-Pack-Prescription/dp/0399147829
For an overview go here:

Connelly is the creator of Met-Rx the highly successful meal replacement powder for athletes.
I know several who have taken this product & swear by it.
It is meant for athletes & those who train on an intense level so taking it & watching TV won't do anything but make you slimmer in the wallet.
Training has been going good, lots of room service messed it all up for a bit but I have ran that all off.
I've been making my own running gels (recipes from the internet and running books). Here's one I like, I use organic ingredients:
7 and 1/3 tablespoons of honey
3/4 teaspoons of blackstrap molasses
1/10 teaspoons (just shy of 1/8 tsp) of table salt
Be sure to mix everything together well. It should make enough to fill a five-serving GU flask.
"This recipe works nicely. You may see some bubbles on the surface, but that is just a natural occurrence of the molasses. Neither honey nor molasses needs to be refrigerated, so you can keep it in your pocket all day and even use it the following week. I probably wouldn't go much past a week, but it should still be good"http://www.active.com/mountainbiking/Articles/Make_Your_Own_Homemade_Energy_Gel.htm
I stopped drinking slurpees, cut out some of my alcoholic tendencies and quit eating so much sugar. I stopped drinking a vanilla latte each day and switched to green tea with honey and I I can't believe how fast the fat fell off by just cutting out sugar and making sure I was eating at least 75% raw food in my diet each day.
I've lost 15 pounds of fat since I started this thread, I was eating a lot of take out food and too much sugar.
For the past two months I've been cooking 90% of my food (when I'm not on tour) and running, biking at least two or three times with one cheat day to eat whatever I want. (thanks for the tips Jodie & Veronica! they work!!)
I haven't signed up for the triathlon yet but I feel like I wouldn't do too bad if I ran it this weekend. Another month or two and I will be ready.
