    I did Atkins for a few months -- the weight came off really fast, but the first 2 weeks or so are REALLY brutal.

    My cats jump very high, and all they eat is cat food! I'm pretty sure if I just eat cat food, I can be an NBA player within 6-8 months.

    Yeah, it's easy to gradually slip into a bad diet if that's what you've generally eaten in the past -- especially if you eat with your family.

    Making your upper body bigger will give the appearance of much wider shoulders. Adding mass to chest/lats/delts/traps will make your shoulders wider than your waist, and you'll look wider no matter...

    Never seen it, but I hear good things and it's on my list. I prefer not to watch TV shows until after they're canceled -- then the gf and I get 'em on Netflix.
