Mass disorder

Absolutely, yes.

It's only taken people decades to realize this. Muscle is the best disguise for anorexia, bulimia, body dysmorphia, drug addiction, and downright mental illness. But continue to worship the posers. That's what they feed off of!

Aesthetics matter

I was in the queue at the market that’s next to LAFitness. The buff piece of meat ahead of me was buying two packages of 18 eggs! 36 eggs! I’ve gotta say, he was incredibly beautiful, yet … I couldn’t help thinking how awful eating so many eggs could be.

Can you be anorexic and look Like this?

What's "eat clean" mean?

The fundamentals of eating clean encourage you to consume more whole foods such as fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains and healthy fats — and limit highly processed snack foods, sweets and other packaged foods. It is not an eating disorder.

I think you are all generalizing. I knew a few guys like that at my gym but no way was it the vast majority. Hell, I had trainers who did clean and raw diets and had a cheat day where they went to Fatburger...even the vegetarians got those fried falafel burgers and fries with all kinds of crap. Yes, there was a would-be dude bro who was exactly the 18 egg type. He could've been a model and always gave the dating excuse of loving only Latinas. Oddly, he chatted up and felt the most comfortable with my middle aged married sister. He did date a really cute and intelligent girl...like the perfect girl to take home and date who was half Latina and half Russian. Later, when he left, she confided to my sister that she thought he was secretly gay and maybe self-loathing because other than giving her a bit of oral...he wasn't able to do anything despite his appearance.

r9 exactly. I eat clean and do keto m-f. Sat and Sun I eat whatever I want. You find not eating a lot of processed overly sweetened foods acutally changes your tastes. When I do indulge on the weekend more often than not I find it make me sick to my stomach now. I used to be able to polish off six doughnuts no issue, now I have one chocolate and I am full and can tell I ate a ton of sugar.

It means, eating disordered, R7.

Eating “clean” is the opposite of eating Dorritos. It’s the far-left to your far-right, or vice versa.

R10 - I preferred to eat out rather than fuck my high school girlfriend. Then again, I prefer rimming over fucking sometimes so...

Fitness bros are a culture and tend to hang atoms other fitness folks. They have their own language, culture, tribe

It’s because they’re envious of the hot dudes who get all the hype and love

They also seem to always be into kratom because it’s “natural.”

What’s that

R15 - what do you expect on a site with at least one fast food thread a week? I also agree with what you and R11 are saying. I am getting back to m-f "careful eating". I used to do that before and go to the gym 4 times a week because it made me feel good and have energy and sleep better. Of course, I would enjoy some heavier fare on the weekends but once you start eating carefully, you really feel heavier after processed food and fast food. It's why I had it on the weekend as I love a nice weekend nap.

It's because 90$ of DL wants to look like these insta hos. If you want to look like them you have to eat clean, and work out. When you tell them that the response is "No, it has to be roids, or drugs." or "you have a mental illness"

They are too lazy to discipline themselves in the gym and eat clean

" Eating clean " is the binge part of this type of ED, Exercise Bullimia. So totally a symptom but not the cause.

Since DLers haven’t been to the gym since the last Ice Age, I assume you mean photoshop

“Eating clean” is such an unscientific statement that reveals a total lack of understanding of food on the part of the person saying it, or doing it. It’s just so stupid.

R27 - don't you think you are exaggerating a bit? When my late partner died, I was drinking like crazy, eating junk food and lost a job. Totally messed up with grief. When I walked into that gym and saw that another life was possible, that some people actually performed surgery (as James had done) and looked nice and there were recipes and community it was life-changing. I still went out with my family to our favorite Indian restaurant for a buffet and still had pasta salads and burritos...but I limited it and did it with a method and all. In fact, life got better. How is that a disorder? The rest of the week I would look forward to my meal plans and all and let loose a day or two a week.

R 31, Be mindful, slippery slopes abound. It's really about moving through extremes. I'm not saying people shouldn't move (I spend 5hrs a week minimum working out, and I also am trying to be as healthy as possible during a pandemic) but it's more when it becomes a lifestyle, as opposed to a facet of your life that enhances your quality of life.

It IS 'roids prescribed or not 90 percent of the time.

r34 not really. Good genes play a huge factor. Steroids can' just give you a hot body you still have to eat clean and work out.

Never said you didn't but all these Instahos are not depending on genes, Aaron.

Testosterone on a script is about 120 bucks for a vial. To cycle, you need at least 30ml a week. and probably more like 50. That would put them in the 300 dollar a month range for generic testosterone. Nadro is 200 a bottle legit. I doubt these guys can afford 400-600 a month just for roids.

Ummm, they find a way.

Diet matters
