Sage Advice from Leigh Peele...

"Call me simplistic, but large scale studies done on the most individuals we can get your hands on is usually the best course of action. Though still rifled with problems and research issues, we do learn a thing or two about free living intake. What do we find from examinations of optimal diets for longevity, health, and happiness? Diets that focus on a moderate intake of all macronutrients, with regular light exercise and activity. Life that preaches moderate restrictions and heaping doses of enjoyable outdoor and social activities. We don’t see a lot of positive outcomes when you tell people to fear, restrict, and abolish. It’s bad science to preach restrictive eating." –Leigh Peele

...and some more.

"There is nothing wrong with still looking for answers and optimizing dieting and training systems. But in these investigations, why would we try to model our lives after those with illnesses or extreme living circumstances? Would it not be more fitting to find comparable counterparts? We see this time and again with arguments about the intake of gluten, nuts or dairy. Because a certain population subset has very real and extreme difficulties digesting a food, it must then be bad for everyone else to digest? This is a logical fallacy and fear mongering at it’s worse." –Leigh Peele

...and for the cake topper.

"Dietary intake is varied and complex in how it affects individuals. It becomes even more complex when trying to manipulate body fat or health. It’s crucial you guide by logic and facts over fear and anecdotes." –Leigh Peele
