Eat Stop Eat can get you just as lean as any other diet...but to get 'contest ready' there is a degree of water manipulaton and diet manipulaton and temporary (and drastic) changes in the way you look that can ONLY be found through specific pre contest/ pre photoshoot techniques. I hope this helps, BP Hi Sean,

I would suggest that for the first week or two you keep record of the times you feel like munching so you can reveal what is causing you to eat more than you want to. BP Hi Travis,

I've purchased, read and applied way too many different diets/training methods over the years, one of them being precision nutrition. It's not one of the better plans I've seen or read; it's about developing a new lifestyle (to fit the diet, not your personal lifestyle) food combining, meal planning, meal frequency and preparation. You need to eat 6-meals everyday, and it way overestimates a person's metabolic rate. It would be an OK nutrition plan for a newbie who has never taken time to understand nutrition, but there are many other similar plans that are much better. By the way, I used to be the biggest 6+ meal a day person forever - what a miserable lifestyle, revolving around food. Back then, getting too 9% BF% used to be tough and staying there was impossible. Now, with ESE staying around 9% (and lower) all year round is easy (and I'm not stuck eating high protein and now carbs all the time). Hi Sharon.

I know you're with Craig tomorrow, so I wanted to get your input on http://www.precisionnutrition.com. I was following Craig's diet on Twitter and there was a link to an article on him out there, so it got me looking at their product. Do you and Craig think this is worthwhile? I hope you guys have an awesome seminar tomorrow. Sorry I cannot join you. Thanks! Hi Brad … I know you’re with Craig tomorrow, so I wanted to get your input on http://www.precisionnutrition.com.

I need to lose about 30 pounds to look good and lean and I wanted to ask you to weigh in on my plan. I want to start eating 2 times a day. I'll start the day with a milky and sweetened coffee (A habit I just am not willing to kick), but after that I will only put food in my mouth twice and then I will keep the servings to one plate of food. The idea is to beat the habit of mindless munching and allow time between meals for my body to start burning fat, without 24 hour fasting. I know this will be a hard habit to kick, but I'll be diligent. I apperciate any input you have. Brad,
