Bob Harper's Skinny Rules

Posts: 178 Member
Just picked his new book, skinny rules up and am quite interested so far. Seems to make a lot of sense. Some of the rules are no brainers such as don't drink your calories and get a lot of fiber in your diet- he recommends 30-50 g/day.
MFP always says I go over my fiber haha. One rule , no carbs afte lunch seems super hard but I think I'll try it and see. Have any of you read it? So far I recommend it. He doesn't really cover exercise in this one, seems mostly food and nutrition based. Also has a few recipes as well. He advocates egg whites too but says to do
3 whites and 1 yolk which seems doable.. I don't like plain egg whites
Check it out! Let me know if you have questions

Just focus on calories. Whatever and whenever you can get in to make your calorie goal is fine to eat (well, within reason).
A large whole egg only has 70 calories anyway and most of the nutrients are in the yolk.0 -
Egg yolks contain most of the vitamins and nutrients in the egg. Yes the yolk also contains most of the fat and cholesterol but a whole egg can easily be fit into any healthy meal plan.
No carbs after lunch is a bunch of BS. The body is going to handle carbs the same way no matter what time of day you eat them.0 -
Why can't you have carbs after lunch? That's just dumb.
And yolks are fine. Eat them and enjoy them.
Also, judging from this info so far, an easy way to lose an unnecessary pound or two would be to chuck that book in the trash.0 -
Thanks for the link but I think whomever wrote this is... Unintelligent
Most doctors advocate high fiber diets. Berries are bad for those with leaky gut so must be bad for all? Low sodium is healthy.. Don't go below 2000, but before that is fine.
Again, thanks for the link it seems all things she is debunking have a poor explanation0 -
personal trainers are some of the dumbest people on the planet.
with only a handful of exceptions, they seem to exist solely to perpetuate broscience.0 -
Until I see some sort of actual proof that the body processes carbs differently after 1pm, I'm going to wave the BS flag.0
-
Read the book and glean from it what works for you. Try the suggestions and keep moving forward. Anything you read or put in action for a healthier you is great!0

yeah you must be really intelligent because you smartly choose to eat well under 1200 calories every day.
Hahah!! Wow if you want to bring up intelligence, ok. My IQ is over 160. Get off my tail about my calories , I'm working on it. No need to be rude.
haha I'm sure it is
Dude no need to be jealous.
It is 164. I have my masters. I'm very smart, and gonna remove you as a friend. Don't need your bad vibes0 -
Just another book from a guy that basically tells people what to do and tries to sell it cause he is on tv.. sure some of the stuff is helpful but its not something you can't find elsewhere for free.. just more people trying to cash in on people trying to lose weight.0

Hmmm... I eat about 85% of my carbs at dinner time around 7:00 pm. 41 lbs and going strong...0

She didn't say to not eat fiber. The reasons a lot of fitness personalities promote high fiber is to fill yourself up so you aren't hungry. Assuming you eat a decent amount of whole grains, vegetables and fruits, you should be getting enough for your body to function without having to cram yourself full of it.
"DO NOT force yourself to consume copious amounts of fiber in the name of satiation of regularity."
Kind of like the point with water. Don't drink so much you float away to feel full or because some random person, once upon a time, said we all needed 64 ounces a day.0 -
op: i like your goggles and i have a huge lady crush on Harper.
I havent read the book yet but I do like his style.
do what works for you and leave the rest - theres no harm in trying something new -you never know what might work best for any one person.0 -

I already removed you. I don't need people with horrible eating habits on my friend's list
Probably because I'm smarter than you. You've been reported.0 -

For what? Promoting good eating habits and steering people away from misinformation?

Hmm. Neither one of them has stellar credentials to be giving diet advice.0 -
Yeah I'm done arguing, he's a jerk.
Why because he didn't agree with you. Yikes, you are going to have a rough life in the real world... :noway:0 -
I actually like Bob (but I'm working to look more like Dolvett). He's trying to sell to people that don't want to count calories and trying to get control of their food issues.
Calorie and macro nutrient timing have really little to do with body composition. I carb time pre/post workout to help with recovery but that's the only reason. There could be some benefits for appetite control. But one of the best tools for appetite control is simple intermittent fasting.0 -

Oh no. Because he is constantly putting me down and berating my eating habits. Here for support and to lose weight, not bullies
I'm in the real world , a place a lot of you seem unfamiliar with... Did you even see what he said?

Do you see the little blue arrow next to his profile pic? Block his posts if you don't want to deal with him. Otherwise you are just asking to get this thread deleted by partaking in the bickering.0 -

Any "diet" book is sure to ignite a flaming thread.
Diet books are a dime a dozen.
BTW, if everyone took in only the USDA recommended level of sodium, there would be a lot fewer people. That is because what the USDA recommends is not healthy for the majority of the population.
I don't even pay attention to my sodium intake. I don't general add salt to anything anyway.
I base my carb intake based on my planned activity level. More endurance activity and I up carbs a bit. More strength training I tend to up protein a bit. We all find metrics that work for us. There is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all meal plan. Moochelle tried forcing that on students and they rebelled. (my sister agreed with Moochelle because she is a wicked liberal and believes that the government must enforce one-size-fits-all rules because it is just too hard to make a "rule" that accommodates our individual needs and differences)0 -

Through a cook book and site ads. That's completely different than selling misinformation to ignorant fools.
To be fair, she agreed with some of the books points. Perhaps both sides are really just offering opinions?0
