Before clicking, it is NSFW, due to language and a picture or two.
That out of the way, I present you with one of the absolute best articles I have ever read about diet. It influenced my thinking in that area very heavily when I was first starting, and I figured I should pass it on to all of you to get some thought going.
I see almost all of the issues he attacks brought up on this board on a daily basis. Also, it's a relatively long read. Don't bother asking for Cliff's. The writing is entertaining enough to suck you in.

Although the delivery was a little much for first thing in the morning - loved his message! Set a tangible goal - work hard for it - failure is not an option!0

After he said potatoes are making me fat, I quit reading.0

It's okay to be unopen/ignorant to a subject. Welcome to the world.0

Methinks you didn't understand what he was getting at.
Interesting read. Anyway.0 -
Thanks for that, there are some diamonds in there.0

Thanks for the update. Let me know when you're under 10% body fat (ok, 18% b/c you're female) and awesome.0 -
Bump for when I'm not at work.0

Personally, I thought the article was ridiculous!
"What women really want is a vascular man." - Umm... no - not me! I find the photo paired with that assumption to be 100% unappealing.
"That's because I think 12% bodyfat is horrifyingly fat" - Seriously? Maybe it's horrifyingly fat for people going for a certain aesthetic look, but medically and health-wise 12% isn't anywhere near fat.
Different people have different goals.
ETA... I looked at his photo in his blogger bio. He looks like he might blow an aneurysm! He doesn't look/sound like the kind of person I'd go to for health and fitness advice. :laugh:0 -
Anyone who needs to use the words '****ing retarded' that many times in a blog about diet - doesn't earn my respect. Hated it.0
-
The article was blocked at work...
So I guess that means that the article is worth reading! :laugh:0 -
I noticed I didnt see a pic of him on that thread!?!?! He must have a degree in psychology, lmao.0

If your goal is to be a musclebound testosterone fueled aggressive individual, I'd say definitely read it. Not everyone has the same goals.0
-
Bump. I want to look at this later, when I'm not at work.0

Glad I read the comments first. Yeah, if this writer is throwing around "****ing retarded," maturity, intelligence, and awareness are instantly questioned.
Plus, you said NSFW, but I don't hear anyone saying anything about nudity, so girl bai.0
