Sure, she looks amazing, but is it really worth it to be in the gym 4 hours a day for 5 or 6 days a week?

What if I said you could achieve the same look and decent strength gains from a good diet that's cheaper than eating take out and 20 minutes of weights a day?
Working out for hours is only for competetive body builders or for performence junkies like the special forces or triathletes.
3 years in a row I was able to get ripped for about 100 a week in groceries and one excercise a day.
The down side? No junk food, starch or sugars. You have to watch your daily maximum calories. about 2200 a day for me. The weight loss is slow about 1/2 inch off the waist a week.
Meat every day, (baked Chicken breast, steak, fish) unsalted nuts every day (Less than a cup) eggs every day, steamed or raw vegtables with every meal. Some fruit for breakfast 1 SMALL (4-5 oz) glass of tropicana orange juice. 2 gallons of water, and lots of unsweetened coffee.
Take 1 day of junkfood and sweets a week, but still get your protein in.
Finally, throw out your scale and use measuring tape to track progress. (Only once a week if you don't want to develope a nuerosis about your body image.) And for sanity sake don't measure right after your cheat day. Measure right before instead.
What's your excuse Spiked Nationals?

don't have one. i'm at the gym 5 days a week at about an hour a session including a 1.5km swim once a week. i'm on a special diet but still a fat prick because i drink a shitload and snack when i do.
currently i'm using a modified version of the 4 day split here. i do enough have the results to prove it, and really don't want to take it any further.

Genetics trumps exercise at the end of the day.
