I wish everyone followed the IIFYM school of thought...then I'd look even better by comparison.
And I LOVE talking to "competitors" that eat this way...

there is a lot of unfounded, faulty science shrouding bodybuilding. if we ignore studies done completely debunking the importance of glycemic index and meal timing; if we forget that the body can take 24 hours+ just to digest something yet alone utilize it ;if we even forget that there are concrete metabolic pathways for which things must be altered and then run through no matter the original form- it is still quite silly for someone to set their life up to where they can eat chicken, rice, and broccoli 8 times a day, every 2 hours.
it can be argued that every person's body is subject to actual science(of thermodynamics, of metabolism, of signaling and response to stimului); but you can at least argue that the average lifter who wants to look good and get strong can quite easily get by with adhering to simple macronutrient guidelines and that being in contest-prep mode 365 days a year is kind of silly and pointless.Last edited by Gunslinger; 06-07-2012 at 12:57 PM.

you literally are what you eat. we are mostly made up of the food we have consumed in the past 18 months. so people following this should think about that (even though my diet has not been amazing recently)
you can 'cheat' but actually eat clean if you must. One thing i like to do is home made burgers - extra lean beef mince and make it up yourself, grill it (personally i love the george foreman) have on a whole grain bread cake some salad abit of sauce and there you have a decent, moderately clean 'cheat' meal and they taste great!

My digestive system would beg to differ with you. If I eat green beans at lunch, it's going down the toilet usually before I've eaten my 8:00 meal. Same with anything that passes through my system that can be identified on sight (corn, peas, nuts, etc...).
As for the rest, who wants to be average? Why bother doing this at all if you're not going to push yourself to be as much as your genetic limitations allow? I don't know, maybe I'm an oddball. I was raised to either give something 100% or just leave it alone.
And just because many of us think the IIFYM is stupid and lazy, 365 days of precontest isn't the only other alternative. There is a such thing as reasonable offseason eating.
Unless someone is hampered with family limitations and/or work limitations (REAL limitations, not excuses), then do it right. If one seeks the path of least resistance, they'll be just what you indicated. Average.
I may never look the way I want to look, but I know in my heart that there's not a thing more that I could do (with respect to maintaining one's health, of course) to be any better at this point in time. I fail to understand the mindset of those that settle for less.
Sorry about the rant. I've had a week of people asking for "advice" then telling my why their favorite TV show is more important than making it to the gym, people insisting that Body By Vi is great nutrition and people in my gym half-assing it through their contest prep because they're competing "just for fun".
I'm at the bottom of my barrel of tolerance for lazy shortcut seekers, and that's (apart from the genetically gifted that can get in shape eating anything) exactly what the IIFYM camp represents.Last edited by Triple-H_2005; 06-07-2012 at 03:38 PM.

Unless I win, which I've been fortunate enough to enjoy a few times, the only "fun" comes in the knowledge that I did more with what God gave me than 99.999% of people on this rock will ever do with their bodies, and that I reached another personal best.
There are a few morons in my gym that compete "just for fun", yet they're always the ones complaining about their placings. Coincidence? I think not...

Digestion rates certainly differ for food/people. My point is that the thought that your body is going "catabolic" after a few hours of eating or after exercise is inaccurate. With as much as we eat, our body is constantly digesting/assimilating foods; unless you fast for a few days, it isn't a concern. My other point is that you are not ingesting something and instantly getting the effects. You are ingesting food now, digesting foods from hours ago, and assimilating nutrients from hours and hours ago. So that makes meal timing less important as well.
I do think that simple thermodynamics/nutrient requirements govern your physique as far as eating goes. But I still eat healthy and "clean" for health reasons regardless. I agree that both extremes are unneeded; but knowing that both approaches can yield results at least allows for a middle ground and for a little flexibility-- something that a lot of bodybuilders lack unnecessarily.Last edited by Gunslinger; 06-07-2012 at 03:52 PM.

Why are we still talking about this?? Let him talk to himself we've stated how his points are not accepted as anything but bullshit from a bunch of tools at bb.com. It's more fun to not engage people who want to argue stupid fucking shit anyway.
