Yup. When people fall off deprivation diets, they tend to fall hard, and it's extremely hard to resume such a diet.

You can work out a more sensible routine that won't send you dumpster diving.

Apparently, there are anti establishment, artsy hippies who's objection to the man extends to living in squats and dumpster diving. Apparently, they even have dumpster diving parties. I guess it's extreme dedication to non-commercialism. I couldn't do it personally.
