A heroin addict to have a cheap shot once in awhile? Are you kidding me??? That is also beyond ridiculous. This whole video is showing you all have tremendous knowledge of diet but elementary school education on people skills. Food is something that has to be consumed heroin is not. Even in another area of your website, it says it is better to cheat on purpose because. let's face it it will inevitably happen. Then you go on this stage and preach nothing less than perfect abstinence needs to be happening. you are contradicting you on message on this website. Dr which is it? If you detect my upset that is good. It means maybe there is hope for you. I went to this section for support and got this shaming unprofessional message and I am just at a loss for words. I encourage you to watch yourselves, your body language and your crazy verbal response to this girl who anyone can tell, also quite amazed at your unfeeling complete lack of empathy answers. smh amazing

I got to agree. This was an extremely stupid and rude response. Why so much arrogance? Answer the girl instead of acting so high and mighty. Why does wanting to have carbs or a cheat day sound strange? It can happen and has happened!
