What type of diet do you guys go on before competing?

Just wondering how you drop a good deal of fat and retain all that muscle, and do it so quickly.

Smart cardio, smart dieting...and trust me, 12-16 weeks on a contest diet seems far from "quickly" when youre the one doing it.

Agreed. I went from 185 in August to 164. I've not lost any strength at all and actually hit a few personal bests. Long and slow is where it's at.

I was doing fine with craving food, until today (Easter with the fam) and watching everyone eat my wife's chocolate chip pie...

^x2 Easter had me frustrated. By the end of the day I was so tired of watching people eat. I am usually okay with it when my wife has something bad but by Easter night I felt like enough was enough already.
