Do you have to follow a strict diet in order to reach 10% body fat.

This is my main fitness goal at 5'11 and 196 and I already lift and run 4 days a week and now plan to diet.

Just don't eat like a cow and work your ass off, it's not hard. In high school I was working out 3 1/2 to 4 hours a day, 6 days a week, eating 5,000+ calories a day, and I kept around 10% body fat. Calories out > calories in = weight loss.

I already follow the calories in calories out thing but the only problem i've had in the past with this is im still eating shitty foods so it really doesnt do me all that good. But now im altering this to start eating healthy so hopefully I should be able to reach this. Nice to know I dont have to religiously follow some diet though.

I'm 7% body fat. I eat like shit.

So I'm guessing that once I have gotten under 10% body fat I can let up on my diet a little?

No, otherwise you wouldn't be fat in the first place. Different people handle calories differently. Some burn them off remarkably quickly, others retain them. However, you shouldn't think that you can "let up" on your diet, heck, the connotation with which you use diet is completely wrong. A diet isn't a temporary restriction of calories with hopes to cause fat loss, a diet is a daily caloric intake necessary to fuel bodily functions. To say you're going to "let up" on your diet is like saying you're going to start mixing water with your gasoline before you put it in your car. You're just hurting yourself in the long run.
