I would say I'm jealous that he eats so much w/o gaining weigt - but it's all carbs!! Where's teh fish, chicken, meat, etc???
ReplyDeletehow has he not had a heart attack yet? thats a lot of unhealthy foods for someone who seems in such healthy shape
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what his heart looks like, but he burns 12,000 each day of training. He burns all that crap off so it may not harm his body.
