Form of Burn Unit (what's good, brotha!?) hit it right on the money; I remember years back when he suggested this lifestyle change to me. Lately I have followed Form's words and it has truly helped me. When I started in the bboy scene I weighed in at an average of about 195 lbs. Changed my lifestyle and focused on me more instead of consuming everything out there and now I'm at at average of about 138 lbs. Took me somewhere near 6-9 months. People see me now and don't even recognize me. I was know as "doeboi," b/c well my real name is doe but "doeboi" works well with a heavier set dude. Anyways, I remember discussing this topic with Form and he truly believed eating natural and incorporating fruits and vegetables not only will help you stay "light" on your feet or in Form's case "on your heads and hands" (Form does alot of power) but it will also keep you healthy and prone to stay away from injuries. Natural foods without all of the additives and such has a natural ability to help us in our recover stages during our post-training stages. So it works for our bodies. Drinking all of those sugar induced drinks and fatty foods prior to bboy sessions may "hype" you up or what not but in actuality it'll just make you feel worse afterwards. It'll also put a toll on your body in the long run. After losing all of that weight, I'm way more light on my feet and stronger, but I have to now adjust to the new weight and realize that certain "strength" moves are a tad bit different. However, I do enjoy being and staying healthy. Although I may delve into something "quick, greasy, oily, or simply fast" just to somewhat remember my fat days I guess. Be easy, and treat your body like a temple...listen to its needs and not wants. Stay fresh peoples!
