i think his diet is about 65%fat,30%protein,5%carbs its like eggs,meat,fish, and the low carb vegetables like broccoli its very similar to the Atkins diet but he wont admit it because he doesnt want doctors makeing an example of him like they did to the poor Atkins guy the Atkins diet is a great diet too btw

but the intense work outs on this guys diet is very good draining your muscles of glucose with intense hard workouts and eating super low carb is the key to fat loss and muscle gain

[mikecazzx]

The latest research is proving him correct, yes you do cardio intense all day and not lose much fat

@SharonC4 In a nutshell- no. Ones' insulin response generally will change over time- due to the years of genetic signals brought on by eating loads of carbs.

@trapsmv9 heh, how things change in a year! - flat stomach now, 70kg, 5'8", benching 100kg, squatting 115kg, pretty toned or so says the GF ;) - My method was pretty much move more, eat less - it's not rocket science :/

This video just seems to just give people an excuse to eat more blaming it all on hormonal imbalance - put down the fork and go to the gym.

Body by Science, Power of 10 etc. don't advocate a low carbs lifestyle. They advocate eliminating empty, white sugar carbs and minimizing white starchy foods while getting proper recovery and doing HIT. The diet helps you avoid the insulin spikes most people nowadays are whacked with and which may well be behind the obesity epidemic. Vegetables are carbs!

Except for beer :( I have no problem adhering to their diet.

Restoring lean muscle mass and servicing that tissue -> heart healthy.

how long did you stay on low carbs lifestyle? For the first three weeks i know i felt really tired and on some days had headaches and losses of concentration. I persevered and my body become used to using fats as a source of energy.

I agree that people are different but do you think that other humans require different foods to survive? i don't think so, we are all still humans.

I wish I could ask this guy a question.

My question is- when you began this video- you mentioned that fat loss is hormonal and many women who have crossed that threshold of "after 35-40" can attest to the fact that same diet they've always eaten no longer works and they are storing fat.

Well- what has changed? Isn't the insulin responding the same way whether you are 20 or 40- or no? Is there an age threshold relating to insulin? Why does your regular habits no longer work?

[xanadian9]

I think that the best diet for a person is based off of their body chemistry. I can NOT do a low-carb diet. I will lose SOME weight; but mostly, I feel run-down and crappy. If I put some complex carbs in my diet (whole grains, some fruits), suddenly I FEEL GREAT.  But, then, of course, the weight stops coming off.

Maybe it's just in the nature of the beast to be perpetually tired on a low-carb diet? I donno... I'm not a dietitian or biologist. :-/

[trapsmv9]

8 months too late, but you're not the target for the video? The video is misleading? How does that even make any sense when you admit you have a flabby stomach and love handles? I have crazy endurance and could train myself to run that much, too, but why does that make the video false? (I can go a half hour, now.)
