Is it THAT important...?

[Rizla]

Is it that important to eat heathily? I've been lifting for a while now, and I've decided to start working on my abs and pecs, and I'm just wondering, is it so important to watch my calorie intake and go on a diet, or can I just start training?

ryan i am probably the most unhealthiest person you know, but yes a healthy diet will help, i really need to get one :|

[Rizla]

Yeah, I know it helps, but is it needed? If it is, I probably won't bother :p I'm dedicated, you see

[DaveTaylor]

it's wortht he bother, alot of protien etc it will help create muscle quicker

i think the only thing you need to watch is your cholesteral number?

I already play football () occasionally. Anyway, Aquae, as far as I know, cholesterol isn't important unless coupled with fat... Although I'm not TOO sure on that.

[StripedTiger]

hmm im not sure on that either. i just know that if you eat too much salt etc yo uget major heart problems and to me, thats the only important thing about my health.

id also say keeping a blanced diet too

Eat what you like. It'll help your overall fitness if you have a decent diet, but I myself prefer to eat things that taste the best.
