The problem is that most ‘natural’ bodybuilders are also on drugs. Pilon is right, they have unrealistic expectations.

Also tell him to try doing it with pizza, burgers, potatoes, french fries, whatever you can think of...nobody can eat the same food all day long without getting completely sick of it and actually repulsed by it. But if he doesn't believe you, tell him to try, no way he lasts more than 1 day. But it's a great experiment to show people who say that how absurd of an idea that is. JB Adam,

I have some "pen" friend on a forum where we talk about working out, nutrition etc. Everyone try to make a bodybuilding diet (6-7x eat, only chicken breast, rice, veggies, lot of protein powder) and only few is muscular. At a point everyone stop the diet because they lose muscle. If working out prevent muscle loss why everyone thinks that they losing it? Or they just think and they didn't have either? I asked Brad Pilon about it and he said there are just too high expectations. So can someone achive a bodybuilder like body? (Not the steroid freak type, but there are good proven (?) - well who knows natural bodybuilders. John what do u think why is there so few muscular, lean guy or girl around?

However, he would probably be quite miserable and maybe also sick, as eating only one type of food will almost always cause all sorts of trouble. That, however, goes for ANY type of food. He would also be miserable eating only goji berries, or only coconut oil or only pizza or only carrots.. See? For most people, the greatest possible variety in eating will probably make them healthier and happier. Adam, Tell him to go ahead, if weight loss is his sole goal :) He sure would lose weight.

I have a friend whom I told him that he should just eat less calories to lose weight and that macronitrient ratios doesn't matter, which I gathered so far from your website. He then said if that's the case, he would love to eat 1000 calories worth of Snickers bars a day. I was kinda at a loss for words. On one hand, Snickers bars are nutritionally pretty barren. But if I told him otherwise, I would contradict myself in saying macronutrient ratios don't matter. What should the answer be? Adam Hi John.
