Yep

I don't see that it's much different than other "it's not my fault I got fat" articles. Choosing to believe unrealistic claims of 'eat all you want an still lose weight' is just as ridiculous no matter what diet you follow or what supplements you take.

I think this was a great article. This is why "diets" often fail. Losing weight isn't typically a matter of eliminating or adding certain foods, it is controlling the amounts of food while still getting the correct nutrients. It's difficult and has to be a matter of lifestyle, not something you do for a certain period of time and expect to maintain whatever progress you've made once you stop.

Eric posts a wealth of interesting things.

The cardio makes you fat thread was, however, particularly awesome with all the panties it twisted. Especially since I'd guess 75% of people didn't read it.

Nice .

If Eric is the guy in the picture, I'm going to read the article cuz he looks like he's doing it right.

In for butthurt and eventual IIFYM vs. clean eating debate.

Thank you for sharing, OP! Excellent read.

Great read. Hopefully people make it all the way to the part where he still mostly eats lean protein and veggies and eats other foods he enjoys in moderate amounts. I have a feeling there will be lots of people going crazy just based on the title of the article. Also, goes to show that intuitive eating does not work for everyone.

And in for the craziness.

If I really wanted to tick people off I would post a link to the T-Nation article that came out today called "The Jogging Delusion".

Where in the article does he say "eat all you want and still lose weight". He eats what he wants within his calorie and macro goals.

I think she was referring to how he ate back when he was on the paleo diet. He ate too much; he gained weight.

For the tl:dr crowd (which I should have been in this time) - clean over eating will make you fat.

Exactly. From the article:

"See, because of Paleo’s lack of accounting for calories, and it’s tendency to recommend low-carb, but higher-fat food sources, my calorie intake was through the roof. As I’d not been allowed some of my favourite foods like oats, rice, cottage cheese, beans and bread, I’d compensated by filling up on more of the foods I was allowed. End result = a “healthy” diet that had made me overweight."

I don't see how thinking you can eat unlimited amounts and lose weight as long as you follow Paleo (which is arguably not the same as "clean eating") is much different than believing you can eat all like and lose with anything else. It all shows a lack of common sense.
