Yes and I bet that the author of that blog will be fighting all the early symptoms of metabolic syndrome in no time eating all that garbage and wearing their body out with excessive repetitive running. It's almost what cutting edge nutrition and health science would consider the perfect storm of bad advice.

Looking at the cupboard inventory, it does not appear that he is eating "garbage". It might, perhaps, border on being an exercise in asceticism, but there is nothing shockingly absent from what he is eating. Nothing weird about it just labor (cooking), savvy shopping, and will-power.

Hi John, OP here. I've been eating like this for over 3 months. I'm about ~10 percent body fat. I've lowered my cholesterol from 223 to 171.

  I'm really sorry you posted this, I think it's going to hurt people and make them sick if they take any of it seriously. What I see is a toxic diet loaded with carbohydrates which is not sustainable by most people. While anyone can survive on just about any food for 3 months most people will (not might, will) get very sick over time eating that way. About the only thing that can be said about it is it doesn't have much processed food so at least you're not adding much in the way of man-made toxins. Get back to us when you've spent a year or more eating this way. But the part that is the very worst to me is all that running, you are taking years off your life with chronic cardio like that. None of this is an off the cuff opinion or personal bias, it's all quite well known if you keep up on quality nutrition and exercise science and the latest double blind studies, here's a good place for you to start when you get sick from all this and want to do the right thing: http://www.marksdailyapple.com/ http://www.marksdailyapple.com/
