Well, I'll tell you that as I hit 292 lbs, my playing started to go downhill. All I did was start eating two sandwiches instead of one sandwich and an order of french fries. I mean, go to Carls Jr. and get two of those spicy chicken sandwiches, they're a quarter less than criscut fries, and they aren't as "fattening". Also, french fries have been found to contain 400x the amount of nitrates (carcinogenics) that the FDA says is tolerable for human beings. Incase you don't know, these elements are key in causing cancer.
Just a little "food" for thought.
Take care,
