Clean eating – it’s a term we’ve all used and have surely heard a million times. We’ve stumbled upon it in the magazines, seen it in our favorite diet books and have probably even heard it on TV. Heck there’s even a magazine titled Clean Eating.
Now I have no problem with the magazine – the recipes are great(love them, by the way) and the pictures are something I enjoy looking at. I do, however, have a problem with the negative connotation it presents to the minds of many health and fitness enthusiasts and even some professionals unwilling to consider other ideas.

If your goals are to be healthy, lose weight, or to build muscle, consuming 6 meals per day is the most optimal dietary approach. Period.
Many fitness gurus, fitness experts, registered dietitians and even some medical doctors suggest the 6-meal-per-day diet. If all these folks recommend such an approach, it must be the best and only way, right? Many claim this boosts one’s metabolism and increases the burning of body fat.

Today I’d like to present you with some information, encourage you to look at it for yourself and then make your own decisions. Make your own choices after you’ve looked at some research.
All this takes is the willingness to open your mind, think freely and consider other ideas and possibilities. This is what I did over 2 years ago as I discuss in my article about meal frequency.

With relative ease, I can search for just about anything I’m looking for in google, and in most cases, I’ll get the answers I need. Hell, we can normally find most of the secrets we’re after as well.
Today, I want to take a quick look at one of the top muscle-building, weight-gaining secrets from the Black-Ops strength and bodybuilding underground, and shed some light on some of the good, the bad and the ugly.
Yes, GOMAD does indeed stand for the notorious diet that consists of a gallon of milk a day. No shit – that’s a ton of milk.
