You gotta love Alan. Basically a real chad. Married a beautiful woman, have beautiful 3 kids, works out, religious, loves what he is doing, positive, real and honest. This was refreshing after seeing all other actors you guys did.

[@aspectra]

Yeah, I really respect him for being a traditionalist. Someone like Alan could totally be a player and have an endless cycle of beautiful women coming in and out of his life. But it seems like he met a woman that he loves, and finds greater meaning in being a good husband and parent to his 3 kids. He has also been married for 18 years, 3x longer than the average celebrity's marriage length, and it seems like he's still going strong.

yea when i used to work out long long ago i didn't eat bread either. Like if i was out i would get a burger from mcdonalds or such and eat the rest but throw the bread out to the birds in the parking lot. Didn't eat sweets either at that point wasn't interested in candy bars, etc. So plenty of vegs and meats, cheese but didn't really do milk or butter. Not much fruits except bananas. Love nuts and such but tried to stay away as much as possible they are very dense. A lot of chicken and especially fish, my favorite.
