My trainer loses his mind when I tell him I do it, but it's unbelievably hard to stick with something that strict day in and day out, carry it out every day of your life, and not reward yourself at some point.
When I get into the heavy 8 week training plan, I basically substitute the dinner plans with whole grain brown rice, chicken and california veggies. It's not that easy to do though, because it gets really bland. Zero alcohol, and ONE cheat meal a week, which is usually a burger or steak. Minimum 4 litres of water per day as well.
There are also fish recommendations (Tuna and Sardines, both in water not oil) but I generally don't like seafood all that much so I cut it out.
