A direct inspiration for the eating portion of the Getting A Six-Pack Experiment is Steve Pavlina’s 30 day raw food diet.
He has one of the largest blogs on the entire interweb, yet for some reason this goofy mofo made it really damn hard to navigate his 30 day trial. So I’m adding all the posts here (mainly so I can reference things I liked):

For his 30-day trial he decided to eat raw foods for different reasons than I:
He cares about saving animals /// I don’t really care
He was loading up between 2,000 and 3,000 calories /// I will be staying well under 1,500 almost every day
He did a lot of research /// I’m going with the little I know
He did it to learn to eat better /// I’m doing it to get a raging six-pack
He calls it a “30 Day Trial” /// I can it an “Experiment”
He’s never had alcohol and has a family at home /// I live in America’s Hardest Drinking City: Austin, TX. and go out with friends regularly
He was eating only raw foods /// I can eat whatever I want, so long as in calories < out calories.
Even though our methods will be different, I must fully accredit Steve P. with opening my eyes to the fact YOU CAN EAT A LOT OF FRUIT. I simply didn’t realize that before.
In my weight loss by accident post you can see the exact point where his 30-day experiment influenced me.
Another great resource on what’s “Good” for you is this amazing Dr. Klaper speech:
Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5 | Part 6
So his 30 day trial inspired me, now onwards with the experiment….
