when you want to eat, jack off to some porn, after you cum you will feel sleepy, and you will fall asleep soon afterward so you won't cheat on the diet  8)

Stavios trick to dieting = jack off and sleep a lot

Agree or disagree?

Can I tell you something?

I'm dieting like wavelength, and true adonis suggest.  I've been doing it for about a year now.  Getting enough protein, keeping calories low enough to cut fat slowly. 

I look better than ever before, I was a perma-bulker at around 215lb, I'm down to 193 and I'll stop at about 180 (really lean).

It was extremely easy!

(I don't eat gluten or dairy although that's optional but it also helps keep calories down.)

being lean, is really what makes a bodybuilder a bodybuilder

This. Dieting down to the point where you are lean is no problem at all, dieting to the point where your body thinks that you are in a critical state because of low bf levels, this is where it becomes tricky.
You have to be on spot with your diet or on steroids to keep the muscle.

No, I actually lost the 22 pounds in about 2.5 months then just maintained weight.  I've gained a lot of strength (and some muscle) and now i'm going to attempt to get down to a lean 175, 180...

absolutely disagree unless a competitor and trying to get under 6 percent,,

i dont know any bodybuilder NOT EVEN ONE! that do cardio when over 6% and on hgh,,they say they do ,,they do photoshot when pretending to do ,,they preach in video they do ,,but no we do not do!

on growth hormone,,LEGIT growth hormone,,the need for diet is e l i m i n a t e d ,,if you eat too clean you will not i repeat you will not grow to your full potential you will only GET LEANER!,,you want growth you wondere why every one is so big now days? gh and FOOOOOOD everything in site while maintaining over all same ratios of the macros,,but nothing is on paper,,the bodybuilder know his body and feed it according to his feeling every few hours,,only during prep when going under 6 percent is when the little things come into play NEVER BEFORE,,so! you can walk around 250 8% bodyfat at 5'10 and not even eat clean while every second person ask you if you are a bodybuilder and if you are doing mr olympia

dieting is not a sacrifice

it is a willing choice you have made in order to reap a benefit from

which is a cosmetic one, and mostly selfish

 ive dieted many times, and it is not a sacrifice.

donating blood is,

and not eating at all, could be a sacrifice, like ghandi did, as he was doing it for the benefit of others

but just dieting, for a better appearance,  no that is not a sacrifice, you can still eat, and eat plenty,

Depends on how much time you invest in it and what your foodstuffs are . A longer diet is better IMO. Last time I  dieted to get shredded I lost 50 pounds in 9 weeks by doing 1200 calories for 5 days of the week and 2000 for the weekend.That was hard  because I gave myself a deadline for my holiday. I think dieting is really a head game. I think most people don't realise how easy it is ONCE you've stopped obsessing. As I get older I realise that my training is better if I'm  maintaining my weight for periods of say a couple of weeks then dropping a few, then repeating.

Yeah, I tried that once but 1,200 is very low for 5 days in a row...right now I am going slowly, trying to drop a pound a week or .5kg a week simply because it is easier to deal with it doing it that way that super extreme methods where it is hard to maintain.

And the conditioning to boot, I'm talking about when the muscles just "pop out" from the skin and take on a 3D appearence. I don't believe that this condition can come about with some hard and intense cardio sessions.

If you're fat and your dieting you need to suffer.

Because you need to punish yourself for letting yourself become a fatass in the first place. That way you wont want to get fat again.

Self regulation.

seriously how the fuck would you know ?

every post you make on the subject is nonsense.

the only pic proving you were in shape ( hahahaha) was 1 solitary pic of a fat calf  ???

your knowledge of working out is also pathetic with such classic lines as you can build more muscle using a barbell than you can with 2 dumbbells  ::)

unbelievable.

as for pussy lips original question - no there is no need for suffering at all.

and as for deadwood - fantastically underrated show. Which featured one of the most complicated dark characters of our times.

Here's my brothers before and after. He dieted for 10 weeks for this show and suffered a lot. In the before he was eating high protein and lots of junk food everyday(typical offseason diet for someone who doesn't care about staying lean). The day he started his diet it was 300g protein/day, 60g carbs/day, lots of broccoli, minimal fats, 8-10L water/day. He only cheated once during this diet and it was 2 weeks out... he ate a bunch've chocolate bars and a triple burger combo from wendy's. Other than that he suffered.

He also got a haircut.

Oh and the whole way through his diet other competitors in his class(that he ended up beating) were telling him how easy their diets were going and that their "prep guy" was letting them eat alot of food.

not if you learn to love raw fresh vegetables. if you can afford to eat this way, fresh cold raw red yellow and orange bell peppers, baby carrots, fresh onion, cucumbers, sweet cherry tomatoes, all types of lettuce. you can eat them alone or in a salad or just pour some vinegar(balsamic if you like too) on it.
