Nutritional science is indeed a nightmare to deal with, especially to discuss.
People still won't believe me when I tell them that they should at the very least try reducing their carb intake. It's surely possible that Good Calories Bad Calories, and the various Intermittent Fasting / Primal proponents are there are full of crap and don't know what they're talking about, but it has at the very least worked for me.
I went from 25+% fat a couple of years ago to about 8% now, shooting for 6-7% soon, and I'm barely at the gym a couple of days a week (I do lift heavy though). There's nothing quite like being really happy with one's shape after years of being really uncomfortable.
- soperj 14y agoI have a carb heavy diet, and always have, but play alot of sports, and have always hovered in the 10% fat and below range.
- ams6110 14y agoNot all carbs are created equal. Whole grains, while IMO not great for you, are probably a lot better than a 40oz Mountain Dew.
- BadassFractal 14y agoI sit on my ass all day every day, so my needs are quite different. Never played any sports either :)
