Basic Military training diet changed my life. No alcohol, three squares a day focusing on meat and veggies, no drinks other than H20, and no desserts. Was it a good diet? Not really, but it was the most consistent I’ve been nutritionally in my life, and was the catalyst behind losing a ton of fat and making my physique/health a top priority.
The notion of the term ‘diet’ is a complete misnomer the way it is presented to the broader public, and anyone who is just plain overweight (looking for a gimic).
For me, giving up the white death was the starting point.

Do you still do this?
I’m a big fan of the “i hope they labeled something wrong” diet. Got a pound and a half of salmon for 8 bucks.
the “seriously minimize all digestable carbs” diet
the “eat the foods that won’t make you vomit all over the place after doing HIIT” diet

I’m thinking of starting this, got any tips?
Umm, I dont know what “Diet” got me moving. My entire family, and elders were shouting at me… “Why arnt you eating RICE!? YOU ARE NOT CHINESE!?”
… and i tapped their tummies and enjoyed laughing to myself.
I was up to 200 pounds and only 5’6?.. And they were telling me i was healthy; while i was getting mild heart attacks… (im serious. It felt like someone was Squeezing my heart for like 10 seconds at a time)…
I guess it was the “no food that you haven’t prepared yourself; cannot pronounce or fried/battered that got me moving”. as well as the food timing.
OH my friend has got it worse; hes indian. and well he gave up curry. (coconut milk overdose)… well his parents threatened to disown him, cause he didnt want to eat their traditional breakfast bread; which is flour cooked in Ghee?..
Cultural identities and stuff are pretty strong here. but so are everyones appetite for sweet stuff. BTW where i live; now has the highest obesity in the reigon. (South east asia).

My diet is still based on it. I try to keep my carb intake limited to the meal preceding training, and the PWO window, though.
raw food diet helped me quite a bit. it’s hard at first but once your body is used to it, there’s no turning back.
This guy takes it to the extreme though;
hardcore but not as hardcore as this fro
“Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle” by Tom Venuto. Excellent read.

I almost spit out my Met. Drive all over the monitor. For me it was reading Berardi’s articles on the net about nutrition. His stuff really taught me alot and I recommend every beginner to read through his info.
After a while I found his articles on this site, which led me to reading T-Nation all the time, which in turn gave me even more knowledge.

The anabolic diet.
I didn’t do very well for fat loss until I straight up eliminated carbs from my diet for all except Sunday. Soon, I’ll see how well it works for getting big.
A strict diet of deadlifts, squats, and cleans.
and cutting out processed foods.
Basically the tips on this site, those 7 essential eating habits, and creating somewhat of a caloric deficit. The basics seem to work for me pretty well so far (I only started this 3.5 months ago, i’m down 15ish pounds). Cutting out processed shit, counting calories for a couple weeks, eating my protein with every meal, eating 5-6 meals a day, etc.
Dave Palumbo’s diet is my favorite.
