Yes, but unfortunately these two idiots have got some on here snowballed into believing one can bodybuild by eating ice cream and other shit food. It is no coincidence that both these guys are very lightly muscled. Neither of them are able to build any appreciable amount of muscle eating the way they do. Anyone as I'm sure you know can lose fat by cutting calories, but it's another thing to be able to build and preserve muscel while dieting which is something that neither of them by the looks of them know how to do.
How do you know what kind of mass I was able to build in the past (as a lifetime natural) ?
Let's just put aside these "arguments" ad hominem and ask a real nutritionist:
'Alan Aragon has over 15 years of success in the fitness field. He earned his Bachelor and
Master of Science in Nutrition with top honors. Alan is a continuing
education provider for the Commission on Dietetic Registration, National Academy of Sports Medicine, American Council on Exercise, and National Strength & Conditioning Association. Alan recently lectured to clinicians at the FDA and the annual conference of the Los Angeles Dietetic Association. He maintains a private practice
designing programs for recreational, Olympic, and professional athletes, including the Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Kings, and Anaheim Mighty Ducks. Alan is a contributing editor to Men's Health magazine, where he has a monthly column called "Ask The Weight Loss Coach".'
Do people really give you sh!t about your results because they weren't achieved with clean foods? That's funny, especially considering that people don't realize that "clean" is a subjective term. One thing to remember is that most people simply do not have a fundamental understanding of human physiology. Did you eat at a caloric deficit? Yes. Did your protein intake and training regimen support LBM retention or at least minimize LBM loss? Yes...... I honestly don't see what's so fcking difficult for naysayers to understand about that.
At my absolute leanest, I ate a pint of hagen daaz every single night right before bed. I also did not have a car at the time, so I biked to school & work. I was running a caloric defricit, so I got lean. The people who give you sh!t are the same brotards who will spend $$$$ on completely useless supps, so we can laugh at them together.
And here's a little graphic he designed:
