    Damn it, I'm still too fat.

    Here's my new diet.

    Two huge salads a day. Pretty much just plain spinich or brocoli with chicken and some balsamic dressing. Two large protein shakes (60g strawberry protein, flax seed oil, stawberries, little bit of milk. Oatmeal or all-bran for breakfast. Whiskey instead of beer. No bread-type stuff.

    Wish me luck Shack!
