An Article That I Find To Be Extremely Relevant..

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!

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

    Methinks you didn't understand what he was getting at.

    Interesting read. Anyway.

    Thanks for the update. Let me know when you're under 10% body fat (ok, 18% b/c you're female) and awesome.

    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:

    Anyone who needs to use the words '****ing retarded' that many times in a blog about diet - doesn't earn my respect. Hated it.

    The article was blocked at work...


    So I guess that means that the article is worth reading! :laugh:

    If your goal is to be a musclebound testosterone fueled aggressive individual, I'd say definitely read it. Not everyone has the same goals.

    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.
