Athletes aren't physique competitors. White bread won't kill you, contrary to popular belief. Athleticism refers to something else completely than how to put weight on your body. I'm not a bodybuilder, I'm an athlete. We need more than those 6 foods to get by. You couldn't possibly get all the nutrition needed to make it at any high level of athletics eating only those foods. From a purely nutritional standpoint, I don't see how he can say that brown rice and sweet potatoes are even on the same level, let alone the same. Sweet potatoes >>>>> brown rice. Is he even a successful competitor? He just sounds like a whiny punk to me. Maybe, just maybe is this guy justified, he does at least compete. But for the people on these boards...why worry about food that damn much? A little bit here and there won't drastically affect your body. If you eat clean 90% of the time, you'll be fine.
Like i said, eating sugary processed food everyday can surely contribute to the disease. There are times and conditions during the day when its fine and dandy to eat them.Yeah it only matters if you have some medical condition like diabetes ...

I've been eating the same foods for well over 8 years now. I get sh*t from some, but most understand that I am who I am and that I am not going to change for them.
I eat the same 10 or so foods everyday (eggs, ground beef, chicken breast, Basmati rice, broccoli, pineapple, red potatoes, tomatoes, raisins, and green beans) and I have for years now.
Great post. Its a lifestyle, not a hobby like many thinks
i can kinda relate to this but at the same time i cant
i can relate to this because i too follow a strict diet and my family b1tches to me about it, but at the same time my taste buds have adjust so that i am able to enjoy the food that i eat. My taste buds weirdly enough can make oats taste sweet and can bring flavors out of veggies and other foods that most people prolly cant taste. so for me i am able to live life and come closer to achieving me goals.
