Hey ShadowPro, it’s me again. First off, sorry for the late reply, as I never got a chance to thank you for your original reply to my question two months ago (concerning how bodybuilders at your level really eat like, respectively).
So a much belated thanks! =)
FYI: I’ve been out of action for a while because of a really bad leg injury, due to my first shot at kite surfing, and that’s largely the reason for my absence. As a future point of reference for any of your readers here in the forum getting into water sports, a great piece of advice before starting out: Make sure that you are AWAY from any jetties or other land masses before engaging in this sport!
Back to the topic: You pretty much confirmed what I was saying to my boyfriend, that supplements play a significant role with health and that a quality physique can only be built with quality food, not junk food and fast food. I won’t lie, he’s fairly hard headed and still thinks I’m delusional, but at least I got it from the source this time.
So get his response… he emails me this link, along with some choice quotes from Greg Valentino and Ron Harris.
I don’t want to beat a dead horse, but are there truly some people in your ranks that do it this way??? I can’t believe that anyone could eat that bad and stay healthy and alive long enough to get even close to your level of physique.
Thanks always & keep up the good work,

If your boyfriend is taking advice from Greg Valentino and Ron Harris (two of the most delusional and useless people in the sport) he deserves everything he gets from being stupid and hard headed. I am not even going to open this link because those names say enough here.
Maybe you should switch boyfriends instead of trying to fix stupidity 
haha. Just messin with you (or not)
Thanks for posting![/quote]
If I may, ShadowPro, I would like to pose one question to this young lady…even if dirty bulking and eating fast/junk food really did help an enhanced bodybuilder get bigger quicker and better faster, why would you do it this way when you know that steroids already unfavorably change your lipids and screw up your cholesterol, especially in large doses? Eating crap food, which would now much further accelerate the process atherosclerosis and triglyceride elevation, is about the dumbest thing you could do. It’s like playing Russian roulette with every chamber loaded. (You may want to remind your numb skull boyfriend about that).
But on a separate note, I think I know where this “bodybuilders eat lots of junk food” comment comes from, and unfortunately, it’s a few bad apples in the batch that created it. I don’t want to name names, but I have heard certain former and present pros advocate this style of eating in the off season, and these guys look absolutely horrible when they are in this phase. Bloated, red faced, oily and covered in pimples, they are so water logged from the increased sodium content alone that it makes you wonder how they are still alive from the abuse.
I could care less if bb’s use the gear or not, there are sensible approaches to it that limit compromises to your health. But when coupled with this advice, it becomes downright irresponsible to younger lifters looking for guidance from the pro’s. And I’m talking about younger bb’s already using PED’s; for a natural bb to try this extreme junk food is downright stupidity and ignorance.
By the way ShadowPro, I can understand why you consider Valentino to be a laughing stock to the sport, but what do you have against Ron Harris? For years I’ve received his newsletter, and he seems like a very credible lover and honest participant and follower of the sport (not to mention an astute editor of many articles for many of the most noted bb publications). I met him once in person, here at a gym in MA, and by all accounts, he seemed like a very open and friendly guy who took the time to chat with us. Is there something I should know here?
Not that i say your wrong, but i would like to hear more about why?
