    It depends on your body/metabolism type. I'm good with this. For people of our type who don't already know these rules, they can be life-changing. Anything that makes dieting easier, feel better, and more effective is worth a try to see if it works for you.

    To anyone who disagrees with others' advice: say, it' doesn't work for me but everyone's different." Please don't imply that the person is wrong.

    A lot of really good advice.. but some of your advice is impossible to follow. It would b impossible to eat 30 grams of fiber and not eat carbs?? You can eat carbs and still lose fat. It is about what carbs you are eating. Gluten free really has nothing to do with losing fat. Most gluten free items are highly processed and just full of sugars and oils, unless you do natural grains like buckwheat, quinoa (but then we are back to carbs). Why eliminate soy? Edamame are amazing.. protein, fiber.. awesome.

    these are not "rules". these suggestions will not make dieting easier. I am not just implying most of the list is wrong...I am being very clear...most of the list is wrong.

    Your list makes sense. Everything my trainer has always told me. Its difficult but do-able. Everyone is different but a lot if not all on your list makes for healthy lifestyle. :-):smile:

    get a new trainer.

    exactly

    For people sensitive to the casein or lactose in milk, they might still be able to tolerate whey, which is made from the stuff after the casein (cheese) is removed and is low in sugar (lactose) too. Like me. Just a thought. Give it a try, and also discriminate between whey-only and whey- with added protein isolates and hydrolysed protein. Those can be icky.

    YOU ARE NOT DIFFERENT.

    We are all the same species, everyone is NOT different.

    This list is pretty much a couple common sense ideas, and a whole lot of old, debunked myths.

    I prefer these three:

    1. Eat what you like and make it healthy 80% of the time
    2. Do exercise you enjoy
    3. Make sure 1 and 2 leave you at a sensible calorie deficit
    Loved it! Now these are my rules too :)

    (90% of cleanses are retarded)

    Um...is this the scientific term? Or the opinion of this 'professionalist' you speak of?

    This. The rest of it is pretty much personal choice not gospel truth.

    I agree with these, although, I admit, #28 gave me a good laugh in the original list as well.

    i agree with 1 and 2... I mostly disagree with all the rest, except maybe the 1200/1600 calorie thing. I think people should eat at a modest calorie deficit... and I don't like it when people et below those numbers, BUT I also don't like semi-arbitrary hard-and-fast thou-shall-not type rules... and the 1200/1600 calorie thing fits. If someone is being supervised by a doctor and being smart about it, then... 1000 calories is probably okay.

    If you're smart enough to weed out the bullsh*t stuff about carbs, 4L of water and no gluten etc, you don't need this list. If you aren't smart enough - don't read this list!

    I like the K.I.S.S approach. (Keep It Simply Simple)
    Eat foods as close to how they are in nature as a general rule. But, don't over think it. There is no general rule that will work for everyone.

    Or Keep it Simple Stupid :P
