Love your premise. I tried it myself and decided. Was going to post before, but personally I think you guys should NOT read any of the books you've got Stefan. The idea's that I hear you come up with regularly are seriously biased and strange. I tried to make it simple before and pointed out how to eat, Matt is pretty much confirming the same thing. of course the most critical is to listen to your body. The subject is tough in the sense that most people don't understand how the body works, and so many contradictory studies only add to the mayhem. Perhaps everything I believe is completely wrong, but one thing I've learned growing up in this world is not everything always seems to be the way it is, and I've ran into enough health stuff to take most shit with a grain of salt. So I'm taking it upon myself to learn. For what it's worth. The book I read about paleo style eating and lowcarb is written by a biochemist who runs one of the top 30 gyms in the country, use to be a California power-lifting champ, has trained triathletes, Olympians, NASA, and USMC. So if I'm going to simply just listen to someone, it's going to be him. OK, you should know you just introduced a red herring. I never said word one about a paleo diet. Eating whole foods is the backbone of my entire diatribe. Also what Sean had mentioned so I'm not sure why you included that. Secondly this guy is selling his argument to you, I'm not. I'm going to glaze the "studied science" comment for my next post as I'm not sure how a degree factors in to anyone's knowledge base. It's paper, you know that. I made the comment that the fasting diet is not as effective as many meals a day. I'm not sure where you think science has not proven that. If you can discuss your direct goals then maybe it does make sense for some people. But it is by far not optimal for growth and overall health. I have conceded to you that it, and a ketosis based diet, offers extreme short term results. However you seamed to glaze over the entire human study of culture that shows either ketosis diets or fasting diets do not necessarily produce a leaner human. To ignore entire races and cultures in your argument and discuss one guy who "studied science" is kind of limp as an argument.Finally I am not sure what your assertion about what we don't know in the human body for the intent of this argument. Again, what is your goal and maybe I would re-evaluate. However from what I have understood the goal is to become stronger, more muscular, and maintain a lower BFP while staying healthy without the use of drugs. If I'm wrong in that is not your goal, then let me know.

Miso soup has a high amount of protein??? I supplement protein shakes. It's hard to get the levels of protein I desire without it. And whey is perfectly acceptable. It just shouldn't be the only source. When I can I get my whey protein with egg protein if it's possible. They other factor is that I use whey usually in the tweaking of diets. Its a great way to get fast blast of amino acids into your body. You are 100% correct in one basic assertion. We survive better on whole foods. The Inuit people have proven that we don't need carbs. Most civilizations grey up with meat based food not vegetation based food. However entire cultures like the Chinese and Japanese eat rice and centralize their diets around it. So we know you can be healthy on either side. My one most important statement is that OPTIMAL eating habits involve many meals throughout the day and they should be balanced. Once you have a base line down, then fine tuning it becomes the way to squeeze out that last 10% or so. Every health coach will reinforce that philosophy. Especially if you are an athlete or looking to gain athletic ability. Eating from one time to one time is a great way to compartmentalize your eating and steer you away from bad choices. The fasting past can also lead to accelerated short term fat loss. This is the same with any keto based diet. However it isn't going to be a long term forever weight loss program. If I meant you would shed all your fat the Inuit and Eskimo wouldn't be chubby... yet they are in the highest BFP cultures on earth. Lowest cardiac issues but that's based on the fish centric fatty acids, and has nothing to do with our discussion of changing your body composition for either looks or performance.

I'm not saying that your diet plans don't work. And for people who are newer to working out, especially resistance training gains come in exponential leaps. But after a year or so.... it is a brutal grind for fractions of an inch in growth or fat loss or many work outs before you can move the weight on the bar up. Aaron I'm sure can vouch for that(I know he is a very experienced and disciplined lifter) and I know having just gone around 30 that what I did at 25 won't happen again. I'm positive I can get much larger and stronger.... and more lean. Muscle maturity is actually a cool thing. My work strength is massive compared to what I had at 20. Mind over muscle in action there. What I'll never have back are my knees or shoulder. My running speed, heart capacity, or lung power. It becomes ever more important to eat my vegetables and skip the pizza rolls. And make sure I keep the nutrients in constant flow. Before if I took to long to eat I would almost be hypoglycemic because I needed to keep the fires fueled. Now in addition to that feeling I also have massive energy loss. It's crazy. I can feel myself get the cranky hungry guy feeling. Same happens on a carb restriction diet. Our bodies adapt of course, but limiting potential is not the most direct rout to your goals IMHO.

I get the premise of what you guys are talking about for the diets but in both the eat stop eat and in low carb situations you are using extreme measures to condition out bad behavior. In fact for a lot of peopleI would recommend lower or no carb diets. Or only eating from x time to y time. However in every case it's because of practical reasons and not because it's the best diet. It's all pragmatic and not nearly the most efficient. It is however a suitable means to an end. In every single case the consumption of many meals throughout the day with a properely balanced menu is the best format for our bodies to perform optimally. However without discipline it almost always leads to poor food choices. I have read more studies and more books than I can even name. I've helped work out diets for dozens of people for different goals and work out programs. I ran a nutrition store for a couple years and have been in the community for much much longer. From triathlons to competitive runners and peddlers tl power lifters and body builders the optimization of diet is minute from he basic plan of 6 meals a day. Some need more carbs at certain times some don't. I have case studied myself on measuring an exact meal structure. Then adding and subtracting one variable at a time and testing. I ate the same meals basically for every meal for 2 years. Sunday's I took of and at as I pleased so long as I grazed all day. This was only for mental health reasons. What did I find? That no diet produces better results than many balanced meals a day. From there it's merely fine tuning to your results. My room mate who was already "lifting" plateaud. After a nudge in proper work out protocol and diet help gained 30 pounds and lost body fat. Bench went from 130 to 250 for 6-8 reps. If he listened and ate properly he could sink into single digit fat percentages, but that isn't his primary goal and for him the results are good enough.

Holy shit. I'm watching the second star wars episode 2 and it's sendingbone of my Martin Logan's into protect. Fuck.

Not exactly. Pre agricultural revolution we didn't have a strong idea of disease, virus, or most illness. I'm not saying that agriculture didn't affect health but I think in general it has helped it. Close proximity living has killed more than farming. I.e. every plague ever. And leprosy.

It's impossible to get where he did without drugs, but they have nothing to do with him getting there. That is like saying that gasoline alone is responsible for a 800hp motor and not the rest of the equation.
