The cost of eating unhealthy is far more expencive in the long run champ.
In saying that, I'm only now getting to the point where I can afford to buy all organic fruit and veg, with free range meat.
I ment expencive to your health, and the quality of the treatment (of the symptoms) is debateable.
No im not eating a kg of meat, why would you ask that?
But yes, Im a chippie, and do 60+ hours a week, on top of training a few blokes at home. All 4 of my meals and juices get prepared the night before, although the missus does help out ALOT, which makes my life alot easier.
I'm a bit suprised you can eat healthy and work a trade. Along with uni I do shift work and most of the guys eat like crap there. How many calories are you eating?
dave tate said:Here's a quick story. There was a time at the Old Westside gym where I couldn't gain weight to save my ****ing life.
There was this dude who trained there who could just put on weight like ****ing magic. He'd go from 198 to 308 and then to 275 and back down to 198. And he was never fat. It was amazing.
I finally asked him one day how he did it.
"You mean I never told you the secret to gaining weight? Come outside and I'll fill you in."
Now remember, we're at Westside Barbell. And this guy wants to go outside to talk so no one else can hear. Think about that for a minute. What the hell is he going to tell me? This must be some serious shit if we have to go outside, I thought.
So we get outside and he starts talking.
"For breakfast you need to eat four of those breakfast sandwiches from McDonalds. I don't care which ones you get, but make sure to get four. Order four hash browns, too. Now grab two packs of mayonnaise and put them on the hash browns and then slip them into the sandwiches. Squish that shit down and eat. That's your breakfast."
At this point I'm thinking this guy is nuts. But he's completely serious.
"For lunch you're gonna eat Chinese food. Now I don't want you eating that crappy stuff. You wanna get the stuff with MSG. None of that non-MSG bullshit. I don't care what you eat but you have to sit down and eat for at least 45 minutes straight. You can't let go of the fork. Eat until your eyes swell up and become slits and you start to look like the woman behind the counter."
"For dinner you're gonna order an extra-large pizza with everything on it. Literally everything. If you don't like sardines, don't put 'em on, but anything else that you like you have to load it on there. After you pay the delivery guy, I want you to take the pie to your coffee table, open that ****er up, and grab a bottle of oil. It can be olive oil, canola oil, whatever. Anything but motor oil. And I want you to pour that shit over the pie until half of the bottle is gone. Just soak the shit out of it."
"Now before you lay into it, I want you to sit on your couch and just stare at that ****er. I want you to understand that that pizza right there is keeping you from your goals."
This guy is in a zen-like state when he's talking about this.
"Now you're on the clock," he continues. "After 20 minutes your brain is going to tell you you're full. Don't listen to that shit. You have to try and eat as much of the pizza as you can before that 20-minute mark. Double up pieces if you have to. I'm telling you now, you're going to get three or four pieces in and you're gonna want to quit. You ****ing can't quit. You have to sit on that couch until every piece is done.
And if you can't finish it, don't you ever come back to me and tell me you can't gain weight. 'Cause I'm gonna tell you that you don't give a **** about getting bigger and you don't care how much you lift!"
Did I do it? Hell yeah. Started the next day and did it for two months. Went from 260 pounds to 297 pounds. And I didn't get much fatter. One of the hardest things I've ever done in my life, though.
Tate had a goal which he sacrificed his health for, he knew what he was doing and did it anyway. If you do not have a problem with that Oli then go for it, it is your decision and no one can tell you not to.
Personally if I was looking at being an elite 140kg powerlifter I may have gone the same route (not as insane as that but with some of it added in) and sacrificed some health for the performance but I am not so I try and eat healthier.
You can eat healthy and still eat enough cals for the average person to gain weight. Sticky (as the name implies) probably still needed more calories due to his metabolism and energy expenditure but he choose health (also very important for him at the moment). That is what is important to him so he went that route.
but with health there isnt a 100% organic 'I wear vibram 5 fingers' vs shuddering at the thought of vegetables dichotomy
