how to keep motivated whilst dieting and training.

guys i have to ask u how do you keep yourself motivated and stop yourself from swaying in to the cookie jar whilst dieting,i mean u read all these things set yourself goals etc etc,but what motivational techniques do you guys use to keep youself on the path that u need to be on?

Nothing tastes as good as looking good feels.

If im dieitng and going to get up at 5 am to do cardio then there is no ways I will cheat on my diet. I really dislike cardio so when I start doing it then its game on and I wont eat anything im not supposed to .

Also you HAVE to have an off day once a week or you will go insane... Its good for you mental health but im your eating clean for the other days (im talking really clean no small cheats) then that off day puts your metabolism into over drive. Off day for me is just eating more clean food and maybe some take outs. for example I will have low gi toast with eggs for breakfast that type of eating.

so you do 6 days low carbs 1 day refeed,does that work just like doing 3 days low carbs,1 day high carb? i am considering your approach as of monday,i go on holiday from tommorrow and will be back on sunday so i am keen to start my clen and ketofin cocktail and bust the cardio hard again and clean eating...its sorta the same principle as body for life? how many calories below maintaince do you usually drop kevin?

Bro I dont get to caught up with couting calories. I did in the begining so I have a good base to work with. I know what I need to eat each day , If im getting fat then I cut carbs down. If I really want to get lean I hit cardio with the low carbs.

Some guys do 3 days on 1 day off . Works well for me to. I just like sunday to friday and taking sat off to eat free. Each to there own. The only thing is by the time friday comes I crawl around ha ha

Im not into fat burners man , I drink a lot of coffee , and I use Hydroxycut 30min before I train. I dont use ECA , Clen and all the jazz I think its also over rated , nothing works better than strict diet , little bit of cardio and insane weight training.

Right now im just taking it easy , weights 3 times a week starting boxing next week , just want to take a break from bodybuilding for a while. Ive got a lot on my plate and I get to obssesed with bodybuilding I cant focus on anything else...

i see,but i guess each to their own...i like using products like clen coz i feel that if i am buying the stuff i might as well stick to the diet as much as i can coz otherwise i am pissing my money away... dude this might just be coincidence but you didnt happen to go to north wood high school in durban,coz there was a kevin coyne that finished a year before me at school and i am just thinking that it might be coincidence...

Yeah that was me the one and only... Why you thought I was in jail didnt you?

Its a small world isnt it?

Bro those where not my best years , ive had to do a lot to make up for the shit I cause!

haha,u know me better than u think,u and i have had more encounters than u think,like an introduction to our friendly friend sunny...

no i didnt think u were in jail but i didnt know if it was u dude..

dude u cant say they werent ur best years,it was what made u are today...i dont look back on that sorta thing,only grow bro...

Bro I dont regret 99% of it to be honest. Ive got all that out my system. Got the scars to prove it funny I live in Cape Town now and the guys here think Im chilled out and soft becuase I drink windhoek light and dont ever get angry. Guess I know what Im capable of if I let loose , its like riding a bike... Some guys stay on that bike and ride it till they get driven over ha ha ha

Sunny Bwhahahah! Flash back! Bro he was one of my best friends at a stage.

"When I was a boy I did childish things , now that Im a man I put those things behind me"
