The older I get the less people act like this.
I used to get fucking slaughtered with my friends on the regular, now I might have had a total of 6 beers the entire football season, and they don’t say anything.
Either my buddies are are cooler than average about it, or once people mature that shit stops.

I think it has more to do with progressing in life. People don’t say shit to me about that anymore. Part of it is because I’ve been that way even before I was very big at all. The rest is they can see I am doing ok in other areas of my life so my choices seem to be working up to this point.
I may drink but isn’t much. I just don’t like the feeling of being drunk and that shit goes right through me and ruins my appetite. I’m the type of guy who can drink two hurricanes and barely feel a buzz but the feeling in my stomach sucks.

Okay some observations…this was made in the GAL section not bodybuilding. The OP’s topic was about eating healthy, not eating for bulking or dieting for cutting. And several posters took it upon themselves to skew their responses towards that way.
Reread the original post. I think the point being made, and which really didn’t need to be made because it is painfully obvious: eating healthy has become the outlier, not the norm. I think that was the OP’s point. And outliers in society get grief.
On top of that, I agree if he can’t stand the responses he should find new friends, etc… Or better yet, toughen up and give them grief. He needs to tell them at least he will look good at their funerals when they die from their nutrional choices. I do the same with some of my brothers and sisters. It usually shuts them up. [/quote]
Yeah man, people want to flame and life coach everyone here. I posted about seeing some guy doing hack squats the opposite way from the diagram on the machine, wondering if it was as ridiculous as it looked, and within a few posts i was A. obviously a powerlifter B. a Jim Wendler nut hugger who should go to some other forum and C. Had no mind muscle connection. Like its obvious you should assume a guy doing the opposite of the diagram knows what he is doing and of course you can infer so much about someone making that observation.
Weve all had people make fun of our eating habits, im sure the OP ust wanted to relate and get some encouragement as he is at a stage of life where there is a lot of pressure to conform, lets not assume so much about the poor guy.
Except that he has no mind-muscle connection.

I was not so much talking about friends as I was about co-workers. Drug using, smoking or alcohol loving individuals who seem to find it as some sort of pathetic to not be a user. Definitely makes me think its not so much as they see it as being lame, as they can’t understand how someone can live happily without being intoxicated - and because they can’t be happy without it, they don’t want you to be happy without it. Kinda pathetic really.
Op. The fact that you have done this before breiefly and broken really hurts you with your freinds and is probably a big cause. Also like proffesor x has been saying you don’t need to be so crazy like eating nothing but chicken breasts people have that as an image of healthy but it really isn’t the only thing you can eat. I am real strict don’t eat any sugar or starch etc. but it’s still pretty easy.
REAL food is going to be good for you most of the time you can eat or VERY easily modify most entries when your out. order a steak and broccoli order grilled fish (the pauline article was good) like it said you can order almost any meat dish and just ask for no sauce and there you go with no hassel. Surf and turf with brocalli shrimp salad with extra shrimp so you get a pound worth. All good deliciouse
stuff.
even when out go to mickey ds and just order with no sauce and throw out the bun get kfc grilled chicken and tosst the bisket too. Is it perfect to go to those spots? No I;m sure there oil isn’t like perfect omega three to six ratio but I’ve been doing this for three years your not going to live off of chicken breasts for years on end. And trust me mcds with no sauce and bun doesn’t hurt your results at all it’s still meat and protein your body isn’t that complicated you don’t need to measeure ever single perfect ratio of every nutrient every day just have guidlines you follow and follow em.
And also eating like that if I want to be I discreet no one would even notice it’s for health cuz hell I often am getting the best meal out of the group anyway.

Thats what you get for second guessing yourself.

Traveling and sticking to a diet
Pauline Nordin | Pauline’s Ramble… | Friday, 18 December 2009
I never adopted the cooler trend where every fitness chick carries her little box to keep chicken breasts fresh during travel. To me it�´s a hassle to use it and honestly I prefer to be lazier than pre cook food. This is what I do on the road:
* Always research the internet before you go. Where are the grocery stores? Gyms? Health food stores? The more you know the better prepared for the trip you�´ll be.
* Call the hotel you are staying at and request a microwave to the room. They do have them, they just prefer not to flaunt them since they want people to eat their expensive food.
* Be ready for some days with less veggies than usual. It sucks because you will get hungrier, but that is where the canned veggies come in handy! every gas station has some kind of green beans in a can!
* Carrots and cabbage in bags travel surprisingly well in luggage! And so does mustard.
* Always bring a big plastic bowl, fork and whatever you need so you can eat at the hotel room without having to ask them bring a plate which will be too small for your portion anyway.
* Always bring protein powders and wheat bran. Worst case scenario you will live off this for the days on the road. You gotta do what you gotta do right!
* Prepare for the munchies. They are always staying at hotels. So bring your favorite tea, sugar free chewing gum, crystal light, diet coke etc.
* Pack canned pink salmon, salmon jerky.
When you travel you will need to compromise. If you know you cannot resist giving in to temptations if you get hungry, please please bring that cooler with you. I would never eat anything if it was not “perfect”, I rather go with nothing than something I wouldnÃ?´t consider to be top of the top food… ON the other hand I trust myself that I can go hungry for long time and not succumb to the temptations. It was not always like that though. I practiced!
If you eat at restaurants, ASK exactly for what you want. Be a pain in the ass. They CAN bring you stuff, they are just ignorant if they don�´t. Feeling embarrassed about it because your body cannot visually back up your extreme diet philosophy yet? well, tell them you are allergic to oils, dressings and whatever you don�´t want! ,-)[/quote]
Hope you found Pauline as useful as I do![/quote]
Great advice… I take oatmeal with me and run water thru the coffee maker. (I just use the hotel glass’) Boiled eggs keep nicely in the ice buckets if no fridge is available. Protein Powder is always a necessity. thanks for the post
@IMpebbles: I live to serve…
I get that shit at work. Not so much for shakes, mainly my huge bowls full of egg whites. Who gives a fuck. U cant really understand unless you are involved in it.
Btw…you should have chopped that waiters throat.
My friends feel sorry for me. They think I am suffering so much when I’m eating something like chicken breasts instead of something like french fries, or am drinking milk instead of beer. They got used to it and it doesn’t bother them in the slightest, but everyone else who are not so close to me and don’t know me well enough are laughing behind my back, or feeling sorry for me. Sometimes people even think I’m crazy. They are so naive and incompetent.
Tell everyone else to go fuck themselves. Last time I checked, I don’t give a rat’s ass what people say or think of what I do, and neither should you!!!
Hey man, why so serious?
It doesn’t really bother me. I’m actually have fun with them. Ah, good moments - to think of some allergic reaction from trance fats, or denied from some made-up religion to drink alcohol. All that kinda crap man, you should try it. It’s all bulshit, but hell, it’s so damn fun!
p.s. For all the mo-mo’s who don’t know how to have fun, you can always tell them fools you are diabetic.

OP,
If you lift heavy weight, nobody will bother you.
A student once asked his master the meaning of life. The master responded “Heavy Weight O little one - Heavy Weight”.
Now stop doing that crossfit crap and people won’t make fun of you.
Who said I was doing cross fit? lol I would say I am a lot stronger than most of my friends, but wouldn’t consider my lifts to be good or anywhere near where I want them to be. (but who does)
