Food FAQ
This is being updated.
FAQ v1.1
By Gant
with Justin (Last updated 11-30-09)
Questions that are frequently asked…or those that should be.
Which diet should I use to get 70’s Big?
Any “diet” that has a name won’t get you to the top of the mountain. If you’re counting blocks, forget about it.
The first order of business is getting your protein squared away. Your diet is pass/fail depending on your protein intake. You should consume at least 1 gram of protein per pound of bodyweight each day if you want to grow (1.5-2 g/lb BW or more may be necessary).
What about carbs and fat?
Listen to me now and hear me forever…macronutrient ratios are largely irrelevant if you’re above 15% bodyfat.
Assuming you comply with the first rule, total calories are your major concern at this point. If you have a compelling need to be lean (e.g. you’re a weight-class athlete) you can start tweaking once you go below about 15% bodyfat mark.
I’m going to ignore your advice and ask about macros anyway.
There are hundreds of books, articles, and blogs out there that discuss this crap. We’re not going there. But here is a simple guide to macros. It is not completely technically correct, but it gives you an idea about the concepts. Protein is for building and maintaining muscle mass, carbohydrates fuel your efforts, and fat fuels your recovery. If you’re falling behind in any of these areas, increase the appropriate macro.
How much do I need to eat?
1) More
2) There is an old business adage, “don’t dress for a job you have; dress for the job you want.” Apply this to your eating. If you want to be 215, you need to eat for 215, not for your 165 pound sprint-Tri doing self. You won’t get 70’s Big by pushing bird seed around your plate at your local hippy bistro. Start with 125-150% of what you’re eating now and see how that goes for a couple weeks.
I can’t eat all the food. Can’t I just train harder?
Eating is training. Beowulf had Grendel. We have Mongolian and Chinese buffets. If you don’t have at least one dining experience every couple of weeks that resembles an epic struggle worthy of telling over beers, you’ll be putting from the rough for the foreseeable future.
We understand that eating for size and strength, especially if you have a high metabolism, is not easy. The body is very good at adjustment to small increases in caloric consumption. You may have to double your current intake to make appreciable gains. That’s why the gallon of whole milk a day works so well for the lean guys.
What about new age diets?
I don’t care if you know a friend of a friend who got “swole” on a raw food vegan diet. It doesn’t matter that your tofu-eating emo buddy finally pulled 205 off the pins. The rules apply, and you must obey them. Whole milk and hamburgers build a sturdier foundation than sprouts and soy.
What do I eat?
Anything that has a face and can run/swim/fly away from you. Anything that comes from such animals. Pretty much anything that grew in the ground, on a vine, or in a tree. Use some common sense, but select the most caloric dense items you can find.
Hey, what about us fat guys?
If you are a bigger guy with a high body fat percentage already, then your approach will be slightly different. A diet consisting of milk, meat, vegetables/fruit, and fat will do the trick — this is essentially a “Paleo”-type diet with milk Your protein requirements are the same (but obviously more), and more of your calories will need to come from fat. Olive oil can be added in to do the trick.
Do you have any example of 70s Big meals?
Of course. This will be updated as time goes by. Here are a few samples.
Three of the basic food groups.
3/4 lb. PWO for deadlift days. Not picture: large vanilla milkshake.
This is what your freezer should look like.
Two days'' worth.
Mongolian BBQ is proof that God loves us. Pictured- 1.5 lbs. of steak, chicken, sausage, pork, and other stuff.
K.I.S.S.
Breakfast foods are excellent for getting 70’s Big.
8 eggs. 1/4 lb. bacon. 1/4 lb. brisket. Pico, cheese, and salsa.
70’s Big meals can still be presentable for mixed company. Pictured: 3/4 grilled chicken, apple wedges, blackberries, and salad doused in feta cheese and EVOO, all covered with a raspberry glaze.
Back to the basics.
Meat sides are a good compliment to meat entrees. So is beer.
The Hill Special: 1 lb. of brisket, ham, sausage.
1-lb. hamburgers never get old.
Rest days=cooking days.
Even the young look forward to 70’s Big.
A meat feast should be properly presented and honored before being consumed.
Intermittent carb feeds are sometimes appropriate for the ketogenic diet crowd.
Rip grabbed me in a bar in 1996 and expressed displeasure at my mug of Bud Light. He said "it’s not beer if you can see right through it." He bought me a more suitable replacement.
My favorite 70’s Big dessert. Fudge brownie, chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream, strawberries, 1/2 bottle of Magic Shell. I DARE you not to grow.

If you have questions about the FAQ or have your own questions about food, leave them here.
We have assumed that the reader has a basic understanding of nutrition. Let me know if we need a more comprehensive guide to eating.
The comment section of this page will be pruned periodically as your questions are answered in the FAQ.
October 9th, 2009 at 3:30 pm
I feel that this would be a good place to include an homage to Paula Dean. Anyone who use”s a stick of butter in everything is doing her part to get us all 70s Big.
October 9th, 2009 at 6:08 pm
I love Guinness, but I have to say it wouldn”t be the top choice for getting 70”s Big. It is actually a pretty light beer calorically. There should be a 70”s Big beer rating system based on calories and quality. A good barleywine style for instance. Sierra Nevada”s Bigfoot has 330 calories per 12 ounces. Good stuff.
October 10th, 2009 at 8:00 pm
all that beef in your freezer, did you buy in bulk?
October 12th, 2009 at 1:24 am
A more comprehensive guide to eating would be great for me. Nutrition for training is something I”ve had a difficult time getting a good grasp on.
One thing you might elaborate on is why someone would choose a ketogenic diet as opposed to other options, and what those other options are.
Another good one could be an example meal log for a day, or maybe a log for a training day vs an off day, assuming they differ.
Those are a couple I can think of off the top of my head.
October 13th, 2009 at 10:02 am
What if you don”t drink beer?
October 13th, 2009 at 8:27 pm
A.C. – I think a nice single malt scotch is a good substitute for beer.
October 14th, 2009 at 12:41 pm
A.C. Just hurry up and turn 21. Problem solved.
October 15th, 2009 at 9:42 am
Nov. 2nd is coming up soon. . . Even though beer is disgusting.
October 15th, 2009 at 9:43 am
Does anyone know of a good marinade or steak rub? Everytime I cook chicken or steak it always tastes the same no matter what I do.
October 15th, 2009 at 10:09 am
I usually use just some Lawlry”s seasoning salt and Montreal Steak seasoning from Grill Mate. Marinating in Italian dressing is damn good too. Also covering anything in gravy makes it better.
October 15th, 2009 at 6:45 pm
AC – McCormicks Montreal Steak is a cheap and easy marinade/ seasoning you can use. I live in Charlotte so I”m sure they have it in Atlanta. Chimmichurri sauce is the best by far- just google the recipe. I also like making my own marinade with EVVO, chopped garlic, salt and pepper.
October 16th, 2009 at 7:45 am
For chicken and pork – mustard, lime juice, olive oil, cumin, worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper. And I second the chimmichurri, and also pesto.
Steak doesn”t a marinade.
October 16th, 2009 at 7:49 am
AC, buy quality and let the meat speak for itself. Good beef only requires a light brushing of olive oil, some kosher salt and crushed black pepper. A little chopped garlic or onion is also acceptable.
If the meat is less than outstanding, a commercial seasoning (Grill Mate, McCormicks) can be pretty good (I can only do Lawry”s on rib roasts). Omaha Steaks seasoning, especially the crust rubs, are good.
It”s an individual thing. The most important thing is to eat the beef. But if you put ketchup on it, you”re going straight to hell.
October 16th, 2009 at 7:49 am
The food FAQ will be updated over the weekend.
October 16th, 2009 at 11:54 am
Appreciate the feedback. I have a Wal-mart to shop at so I am not sure about the quality of the meat I can get. . . And Gant, I definitely laughed out loud at your ketchup comment.
October 16th, 2009 at 12:19 pm
Order steaks on Line AC. Omaha usually has some good deals.
October 16th, 2009 at 2:59 pm
Become friends with a local butcher or similar type of store. Pick a place and buy from there frequently. Pretty soon you”ll be a regular and they”ll be throwing in free/extra steaks and other cuts because they like you.
October 19th, 2009 at 8:08 am
Eat. Meat. Eat a lot of meat.
“Eat. Now.” This should be on every man”s fridge that doesn”t give a shit about his ”Fran” time.
Ratios? Easy. For supra maximal largess and the ability to lift tall buildings with a single pull, start by multiplying your desired weight by 15. Thats your starting cals. Divide those calories into 40% protein, 35% fat, 25% carbs. Good place to start, tweak every two weeks. No gain? add a multiplier (16x week two, 17x week four, etc).
Blowing up like the michelin man? drop carbs by 5% and add more fat. Wait two weeks. Still becoming a lard ass? do the same multiplier changes as the hardgainers, but drop one every two weeks until you find nirvana.
ex: If I wanted to be 250, 15x would be 3750cals. Macros are approx. 375p/250c/125f or an easy peasy 3p:2c:1f… thats where you START. Work your way up in cals from there. Good steady upgrade and good steady progress.
Eat like it”s a sport,
Chef
October 20th, 2009 at 3:21 pm
So, even for a big dudes wanting to get lean, but massive…eat big, right?
I”m 260, “probably” 22% BF. My goal is to be around 230 – 240 at 10%(+/-)BF, and I”m rolling for two weeks now at 3400 – 3450 kCals, consisting of apprx. 360g Pro, 100g Fat, and 275g, Carbs, daily. It sux…but I love it at the same time. I “feel” good…more energy than I”ve had in a while, actually. But I”m going through toilet paper like a bathroom editor, and my wife says “your gut is getting bigger though”. Should I drop the carbs down as a “Divisor”?
October 20th, 2009 at 8:15 pm
TOBYWON -
I”m no expert, so maybe someone else will chime in here, but I think a ratio closer to the following would suit you better if you”re intake is 3400 calories:
340g Protein, 227g Carbs, 113g of fat.
That is using the math that Chef used above. This is a 3p:2c:1f ratio.
So, like Chef said, I think if you drop your carbs down and add more fat, you”d start to lose the gut.

So, how does cholesterol fit into eating to get 70s big? I don’t want to sound like some 90s health food wuss, but I also don’t want to have a heart attack before I’m 40.
October 21st, 2009 at 10:37 am
Total Cholesterol as a measure of health is largely overrated. It only loosely correlates with lower incidence of heart problems and has no correlation at all with total mortality.
Besides, your body needs cholesterol as a precursor for certain hormones. Trigs and VLDL are probably better numbers to worry about. You can keep those down by laying off the sweets and junk. That”ll give your liver a break too.
October 21st, 2009 at 12:47 pm
Weighing 260 and eating 3,400 calories is not going to allow proper recovery in strength training.
This is very individualized though, and there is no blanket statement.
October 21st, 2009 at 1:33 pm
Also, rift, you need to remember that this isn”t a diet you will use for the rest of your life. Like Justin said in another thread, you might only eat this way 6 months to a year in order to make the gains you”re looking for.
October 21st, 2009 at 2:38 pm
Im around 260 right now as well, and I take in lower calories (3000) but ramp it up on the weekends more (especially Saturday or what I like to call faturday, which is also a brutal training day). Would like to be at about 225 lbs. Recovery hasnt been a problem and continue to make strength gains while adding conditioning in as well. I do Wendler”s 531 and usually sprinting or complexs for conditioning.
Rip mentioned at the barbell cert that around 3000 calories would be good for me but to definitelty watch it on the recovery. I think it would be a bit too low if not for the faturdays in there.
October 21st, 2009 at 3:13 pm
For birthday/Christmas presents, do what I do. Ask your friends and family to buy you gift boxes from Omaha Steaks. I suggest the lasagna from them, and the potatos are particularly delicious. Plus all the meat, meat and more meat you get in these gift boxes. They arrive in a styrofoam cooler to keep the meat fresh.
Also, all of you asking for steak marinade/glazes, here”s what I use:
1/4 cup ground mustard powder
1/4 cup wocester sauce
1 lime
White pepper
Kosher salt
You combine the mustard and wocester sauce in a bowl. Spread this mixture over the steak(s). Now squirt the lime juice on the steaks (use a real lime, the crap that you buy in the bottle is weaker than minnow piss). Add white pepper and salt to taste. I normally put a generous coating of the pepper since white pepper isn”t all that spicy.
October 22nd, 2009 at 7:05 am
This might sound really stupid, but I”ve always be confused by the ”prep all your food on sunday advice”. I guess you freeze it and then thaw it out on the day and microwave it. Does it not all taste like shit? Any advice here would be appreciated.
October 22nd, 2009 at 5:35 pm
I cook 8-10 chicken breasts on the grill, then put them in a big ziploc and keep them in the fridge. No reason to freeze them after they”ve been cooked. Chicken and steak will last in the fridge after they”ve been cooked at least 5 days or so in my experience. Pull one out of the bag, heat it up in the microwave (or eat them cold like I do), and you”re good to go.
October 23rd, 2009 at 3:55 pm
I weigh 225, around 22% BF last time I checked about a month ago and was wondering if I should adjust the carb intake to help with the fat loss. I don”t want to be a skinny little bitch or anything, but less fat is good. Should I just keep training hard and eat like a madman? Any help is greatly appreciated as I”d like to be able to throw a station wagon across a parking lot one day.
October 23rd, 2009 at 4:07 pm
Hey guys, I just found out that the McRib is back! I am going to fuck up the first McDonalds I see on the way home.

Someone needs to do a McGangBang with a McRib. And if you don”t know what a McGangBang is, look here:

October 23rd, 2009 at 8:29 pm
Yeah, I”ve McGangbanged and WhopGangbanged(the Burger King version) I haven”t McRibbanged yet, but just because I”m not in college any more doesn”t mean there is no more time for experimentation, right?
October 24th, 2009 at 11:33 am
I have a couple rules of thumb for gaining weight. These are based off a 6”4″ beanpole base:
1) Eat 3x a day. No more.
One of the worst things an underweight trainee can do is nibble throughout the day. He never gets hungry, and eating becomes a chore. Instead, wait 5 or 6 hours between meals … and see what that does for your appetite.
2) Calories: 30x whatever bodyweight you are at.
That”s what works for me.
October 25th, 2009 at 5:30 pm
If you dont drink beer…youll never be 70s Big. Beer=Big. No mixed drinks you Sallys.

This question is for the avid deer hunter in the crowd. Approximately how many pounds of meat does one dead deer yield? If I”m going to get 70”s Big why not eat an entire mammal?
I”m taking up bow hunting.

I work totaly counter to fluxboy- I eat pretty continuously, fat & protein. Snack often, fat and protein. Fruit in between keeps me hungry. More fat and protein. Vegetables are largely optional, but once a day they can be nice. Ice cream is crucial.
November 23rd, 2009 at 4:35 pm

General perscription for bigger dudes is paleo with lots more meat (easy on the starchy carbs and loads of veggies/eggs/meat/fruit/nuts) and probably just eat til satisfied
November 26th, 2009 at 12:49 pm
Paleo? thanks for the reply by the way.
November 27th, 2009 at 12:44 am
Stuff like this
http://altmed.creighton.edu/Paleodiet/Foodlist.html
basically, no grains or starchy carbs
eat fruits/veggies/nuts seeds and given heavy lifting – sh*t loads of meat
November 27th, 2009 at 5:20 pm
A cup of ranch has over 1000 calories. It”s not hard to take down a cup with chicken, fried shit, or vegis. Hell anything.
November 28th, 2009 at 5:56 am
Aha! Thanks very much for the replies. Ill get this sorted straight away.
but another question, just quickly. My body fat is at 20%, so shall I ignore the P/C/F ratios and just go straight for the calories? (keeping in mind I will be trying to eat paleo foods mostly). And am I expected to read Starting Strength by Rip to be able to get my workout plans?
November 28th, 2009 at 5:59 am
And is there anyway to know how good my genetics are? (its a vague questions but I can”t think of a better way to put it)
November 28th, 2009 at 2:44 pm
I myslef have never personally bothered too much with p/c/f – just made sure i”ve eaten around 200g of protien as in 1g per lb of bw (I weigh damn near 200lbs – sadly i”m 6”2 so not 70”s big yet! ) and made sure i”ve eaten enough fat by snacking on nuts and eggs.
Never been a big starch fan myslef either and most of my carbs come from fruit and veggies.
As for genetics, there are so many varibles its impossible to really say, although I would imagine a big broad shouldered guy could would have an easier time than some skinny narrow dude.
November 28th, 2009 at 2:46 pm
oh and yes you should buy SS. You can probably get by without it, but it is really, really, really worth the money x10

Hey I just finished my first workout. My muscles are still sore, and I see that I still have to do square tomorrow. Would I have to do this despite the soreness in my muscles? Should I just work through it or is this because I haven””t recovered properly? Thanks. Also I am not able to do many chinup so what is the substitute for this exercise.
I bought rip””s book yesterday as well but I don””t see any workout plan, where is this in the book?
Cheers.
If it was your first workout, you won’t have much of a choice but to be sore. Warm up and you’ll be fine. This happened because you are in an unadapted state.
And if you look closely, there is an entire chapter on programming.

December 8th, 2009 at 4:28 pm
Just did the Crossfit Football Cert this past weekend and John Welbourn (who is definitely 70”s big!) had some good nutrition advice for gaining mass. He recommends 20cal/lb body weight, a minimum of 1g protien/lb body weight and to have a meals worth of whole milk immediately post workout minimum 48oz of the good white stuff and to follow that up about 45-60 minutes later with a full solid food meal. Ha also added that growing up his mom made him pancakes with every meal he ate to help him get big and that to add extra calories he drinks straight olive oil with just about every meal.
December 8th, 2009 at 11:15 pm
okay since I””m under aged Milk is all I need to drink right? I””m pretty sure I have my question answered already. also how many calories would a 16 year old training at least three times a week normally heavy three weeks out of the month? 5,6000 calories?
You did not give a whole lot of information, but for skinny kids GOMAD and 4 meals a day will usually work.

Thankyou for that WaWa, I just made a shopping list
January 6th, 2010 at 11:27 am
Most of us have to prepare our meals in advance. How do you make meat and chicken taste good? A good grilled steak cooked to med rare and then reheated a couple of days later tastes like total shit to me. Chicken is more bearable but I dont look forward to eating. I love meat abd chicken but not leftover/reheated, and certainly not cold.
thanks all.
Seasonings and marinades are your friends. Gant will help more, I am sure.
–Justin
January 13th, 2010 at 1:46 am
aramirez, start slow-cooking your meat. Look up “braised chicken,” “braised ,” etc on google for recipes. Look for videos if you”ve never braised stuff before. Or PM me and I can give you some starting tips.
Slow-cooked stuff tastes better when reheated: you”ve already cooked the hell out of it, so reheating it doesn”t really change the flavor. Plus slow-cooked stuff is damn delicious.
I have a slow-cooker (crockpot) and it”s awesome. Wouldn”t want to do the 6K/day thing without it.
January 14th, 2010 at 11:22 pm
Who”s man enough to try this 70”s Big meal plan ?
I”m just starting Starting Strength and just eating the 4 to 5,000 calories a day is quite hard.
I can”t even imagine how hard this would be.
To become the strongest powerlifter in the world, Larry Pacifico decided to become the biggest.
In the 1970s, he ate enough to feed a cavalry, horses included.
His breakfast: 15 eggs, half a loaf of bread, one pound of bacon, a half gallon of whole milk.
His lunch: three entire chickens.
His dinner: two pounds of steak, plus potatoes.

This is cruel and odd punishment. I”m sitting at a college in New York, waiting for my friend to get out of class, and I’m STARVING. Lucky for my there”s an ihop located right down the road. And yes sir, I believe it’s all you can eat pancake week. Definitely getting my 4,000 calories today. Hopefully my lifts don’t stall. I”m getting close to my threshold for this run.
January 28th, 2010 at 12:47 pm
Has anyone been to a Roscoe”s Chicken and Waffles? You will definitely get some calories there. you can get half (or more) of a fried chicken, waffles with butter and syrup, numerous sides of variety including mac n cheese, beans, grits, chicken livers,…
January 29th, 2010 at 3:57 pm
If you wanna put on mass then you should eat some lasagna. It”s packed with protein, fat and carbs and it”s high in calorie. If you like italian food then go ahead and eat till you drop.
February 4th, 2010 at 8:16 pm
Favorite high calorie high fat high protein breakfast. Buy a block of sausage (comes in the nice wax paper) cut off a chunk about 2-3 inches thick and brown it up in a pan. Once its almost done and there”s all that grease runnin” round in the pan, crack 6 eggs in there to soak up all that flavor and just cook all that shit together. Then heavily butter some toast and put some of the egg/sausage mixture on there with a handful of cheddar cheese. Make a second sandwich if you”re feelin” up to it, or just eat the rest as is. G”dam delicious and easy.
February 12th, 2010 at 7:04 am
as a fat guy, will I be able to lose fat if I follow the eating rules here? Or will it only prevent me from getting fatter?
Also what are you guys” views on cutting?
thanks
February 13th, 2010 at 1:50 pm
@Hookguy-
You can lose fat eating like this if you”re training hard enough. Do what he says in the “hey, what about us fat guys?” paragraph–it”s also been discussed in a few other posts on the site. You”ll want to be a little more concerned with food quality and not just with eating everything you possibly can. So in your case, lots of protein and fat and go easy on processed carbs. In other words, along the lines of Paleo+milk, similar to what Welbourn recommends for CF Football.
I don”t know much about cutting, other than it will cost you strength because you can”t lose a lot of fat without some muscle going along with it. Plus with less mass you”ll lose some leverage and the benefit of IMTGs in regards to strength. What”s your reasons for wanting to cut? GPP? Aesthetic purposes?
February 21st, 2010 at 9:52 am
@Eric
thanks for the reply, my reason for cutting is so I can actually fit into clothes, (having to wear loose and baggy ones because my thighs are too big for standard clothes, it is getting qutie annoying!)and I”m hoping to try and enter a contest.
So when you say cut down on processed carbs what percentage of my calories should be from carbs? And can you recommend me nay foods high in fat and protein but low in carbs (so many foods are carb rich!). I”ll give paleo a go.
I”m currently at 18% body fat and I think I”ve lost about 2% since starting Rippetoe”s 2 months ago.
And when you say quality of food you mean no McD”s right?
March 4th, 2010 at 12:47 pm
I think the 70s Big theme song should be “Eat Steak” By the Reverend Horton Heat.
Eat steak, eat steak eat a big ol” steer

It”s a grade A meal when I”m in the mood.

Eat steak, eat steak eat a big ol” steer
Eat steak, eat steak do we have one dear?
Eat beef, eat beef it”s a mighty good food
It”s a grade A meal when I”m in the mood.
Eat meat, eat meat, filet mignon
Eat meat, eat meat, ear it all day long
Eat a few T-bones till you get your fill
Eat a new york cut, hot off the grill
Eat steak, eat steak eat a big ol” steer
Eat steak, eat steak do we have one dear?
Eat beef, eat beef it”s a mighty good food
It”s a grade A meal when I”m in the mood.
Eat a cow, eat a cow ”cuase it”s good for you
Eat a cow, eat a cow it”s the thing that goes “Mooooo”
Look at all the cows in the slaughterhouse yeard
Gotta hit”em in the head, gotta hit”em real hard
First you gotta clean”em then the butcher cuts”em up
Throws it on a scale throws an eyeball in a cup
Saw a big Brangus Steer standing right over there
So I rustled up a fire cooked him medium rare
Bar-B-Q”ed his brisket, a roasted his rump
Fed my dog that ol” Brangus Steer”s hump
Eat steak, eat steak eat a big ol” steer
Eat steak, eat steak do we have one dear?
Eat beef, eat beef it”s a mighty good food
It”s a grade A meal when I”m in the mood.

I’m usually good for blasting 4000-5000 calories a day however, usually after my workout I hit a high quality protein shake like Progenex and some Cytomax. Then 1-2 hrs later 1lbs burger with a chocolate shake.

Where can you order boxes of meat like in the “this is what your freezer should look like” picture for good prices? Even COSTCO is too expensive for that much meat.
Texas?

Pot roasts, london broils, and the cheaper cuts you can get for a great price and they taste just as good, just have to be prepared differently. I know I can find pot roast on sale for $2.50-$3 a lb so I can buy a 3 lb roast for sub 10 bucks and then throw it in a crockpot with ample veggies and that’s at least a day’s worth of food.

[...] -If your goal happens to be to gain mass and you want shoulders like Mr Chapman, eat everything under the sun. Not literally, but eating a lot of sweet potato, squash and fruit will help stimulate your appetite and allow you to take in more calories easily. Or you can always try to get 70s Big. [...]

Hey Guys,
I really just wanted to thank you for having a great site with truly great advice. Being a hard gainer, I followed your advice and have been on a steady diet of burgers, ice cream, 1 gallon of RAW whole milk and pretty much anything else I can get into my stomach, for a little over 4 weeks now and have gone from 172 to 203.5. My goal of 210 is just another week or so away. Thank you again for your articles and a great blog. Keep it up.
