I do it for months at a time then go paleo with a little cheating because of work dinners. I started getting into it in my mid 30s when i was body building. I'm almost 50 now. When I'm not on one or the other I feel like shit and get fat as hell. I just end up missing the bread and pasta and stuff like that. Feel like shit after but grew up on an Italian American diet so it's hard to not eat that stuff for a while. Then I just hate myself because i get fat and gross and feel like shit so I have to go back.

I feel great on the those diets but it's not easy to stick to it especially if your on the road 4 plus days a week.
