if you've got fat to burn and really want to do it, then you've got to deal with a diet you might not like for a while. sucks, but hey, you're the one that got yourself there (not saying you, just saying anyone).

my diet has completely sucked for the past month and a half. i've strayed a lot from what i should've been eating. i've pretty much decided that the next week and a half i'm going to enjoy what i want when i want it and that's that. today was the last day in the gym for a week and a half, then the fall semester starts, i'll be on a set schedule, and my eating will be more stable again. i will still allow myself to eat whatever i cooked for the family during dinner as well as a junk food snack at night (bowl of ice cream preferred ), but keeping the diet stricter during the day makes it taste even better at night.

i use the word diet very loosely. diet is just what you eat, doesn't matter if you're watching what you eat or not. the food you intake is your diet. so when someone says "oh, so you're on a diet?" in a state of confusion, i just want to smack them and say "well yeah, we're ALL on a diet unless you don't eat, in which case your diet consists of nothing."

i wouldn't call CKD a "fad" diet. it works if you stick to it. no gimmicks or BS or crap about it.
