I cannot stop reading this guys website!

So I just cannot get away from this guys website, his articles are informative as hell, funny, straightforward, easy to understand and they cover so much, even the mental aspect of weight loss. He explains woo and even why it's come about. He doesn't advocate just one right way of doing things either. Seriously this is worth a look, as for me I've been looking at it since I found out about it yesterday.

I recently discovered him, too. Funny, smart and clear in what he's writing.

Enjcg5

Yup. I printed out a 63 page weight loss article by him. Good stuff

He's kind of a cross between the Body for Wife guy and the Oatmeal. Nice.

Whats the oatmeal?

A cartoonist with a similar style of drawing and swearing. He mostly writes about random wacky whatever, but he's also a runner so you get some of that too. http://theoatmeal.com/comics/running

You might like this guy as well. A bit less funny, but straightforward.

What's this guys background, could not find it on the site. Why not follow someone that actually has some education in exercise, nutrition, etc?

Thanks for the recommendation! Looks like this blog has a lot of my kind of humor (grabbed me from his About page . And, seems like he doesn't take himself super seriously.

Eh, there's plenty of those out there. I like to find offbeat people with a clear point of view who have been there, done that, and can help me work through all of my issues (not just food and exercise stuff) because they are open and honest about the journey they've taken. Shoot, it's why I hang out on MFP so much! I read the success stories and get more out of them than a nutrition book or an exercise program. Sometimes, you just need to hear some real truth from a real person, not someone who has read all the books and can recite things back.

How about people who have have the "book learning" and have worked with clients/athletes for 10+ years?

But like they said, there's plenty of those guys out there, why can't I follow both? I follow other funny people who write about other topics, like blogs that share great recipes. They aren't five star chefs, usually just regular home cooks, but they make me laugh and their recipes end up being yummy.

I've taken the advice of plenty of people here on how to set my macros etc, based solely on what they say and how they said it. I coughed up several bucks for different flavors of Oreos based solely on Carlos' Oreo thread. What can I say, I'm a wild woman like that.

His LinkedIn page says he's a certified PT.

In addition to the above, I do appreciate a man who can give good footnote.

jdlobb

what kind of anti-intellectual garbage leads people to believe that "book learnin" and real world experience are mutually exclusive? oh right. America.

VintageFeline

Now granted, I only read one article so far but I haven't seen anything any of the "learned" people wouldn't agree with.

Good_Morning_Glory

Thank you.

bernadettenz

Very good

seanoxmix

Thanks for bringing this guy to my attention. Wish I could send the fasting and weight loss articles back in time to my fatter self. I spent a lot of time figuring out the stuff he lays out so plainly (plus he's entertaining).

Funny guy...interesting reading, thanks for the link

amusedmonkey
