Great tips on here. I started off 2010 experimenting with more of a vegan lifestyle for the majority of meals I eat. I think it can go very well with breaking. I think detoxing can help tremendously as well and choosing the right kind of detox for your own situation is a good idea but I'm not really gonna get into all of that right now. Changing your diet for the better does start with your overall mentality and feelings about yourself and so far I've found that you have to eat a lot more often throughout the day for it to work especially since breaking burns a ton of calories.

I say learn to listen to what your body is telling you. I'm still in the process of fine tuning my own personal b-boy diet which is a personal battle for me because I've also decided to take natural herbs instead of poisonous pharmaceutical drugs to deal with an old cancer situation. Tons of fruits and veggies and the right amount of whole grains depending on how often and how hard you are breaking seems to be the way to go. Rice milk instead of cow milk and fresh fruit or vegetable juice instead of energy drinks like red bulls, monster, and gatorade is also a good idea.
Also distilled bottled water or any good quality high ph balanced alkaline water is great.

Certain all natural herbs I think can really help as well. Still experimenting with which combinations of what kind of herbs can help me out the most for breaking without going overboard spending all kinds of money.
Reducing the amount of money I spend on foods I don't really need and then re-investing that money into simple fruits, vegetables, grains and certain herbs is basically what I've been doing for the past couple of months.

I'm in my mid 30's--been doing power since I was 20 and have already experimented with a lot of different approaches to diet and cross training. I still have quite a bit of power so I must be doing something right.
Sometimes you gotta just experiment with something, pay attention to how your body responds and then make adjustments accordingly depending on your own particular lifestyle. Also look for as much solid knowledge that just makes sense and don't be too quick to jump onto certain social bandwagons like the
red bull energy drink hype or the shark cartilidge joint pill hype etc...Keep things as simple and as natural as possible and make sure to get plenty of rest and stay as stress free about life as possible.

It's an ongoing process because your body never really stays the same the more years you put into breaking. I think the main thing to never forget is to keep having fun with breaking no matter how many crucial "battles" you have. Also don't overanalyze the diet and crosstraining thing too much. Remember to have fun and be a kid at heart no matter how old you get!!!

Peace!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
