I agree Billy sweets are not so bad, you need a break sometimes. I usually just pig out after a cycle or a month or two training, for about a week and then back to the strict diet again. I find that my body does soo much better with that cycle. I even find that I actually gain muscle when I pig out during those weeks, and I dont' loose a thang. Of course, my muscles don't keep that hard feeling, and start to feel flabby quick, but billy is right, we all need a break every now and then, adn a sweet or two every so often isnt' bad. I ate a chocolate bar just before a big cardio workout the other day just to get a quick boost, it worked like hell too!
