There are periods where I was... but if you eat that much... and you build the muscle to use up all that food for fuel... then you don't balloon... But... like I say in the article - I'm not trying to eat that much anymore... I don't want to go to the buffet anymore. But--- I forgot to write this in there, and don't feel like making this longer -- The day before I started my last cleanse (which I just got off of) - I went to 2 different Taco places in town (there's no shortage of taco places in Mexico) - and I pigged out on Tacos... once for lunch, and again for dinner... I couldn't eat another bite (though, I made sure to eat another few bites anyways) - and thus, I was feeling sick of food, and thus, going to no solid food the next day was a relief (Kind of like those parents that catch their kid with a cigarette, so make them smoke an entire carton to never want to touch it again).
