    Alan, whats your thought on the whole gaining muscle while losing fat thing? The majority of the research I have seen only suggest it's applicable if you are morbidly obese, noob gains, and in elite athletes who are training again.

    I'm talented like that. I didn't know people did that. Sorry, not trying to dump on your book. I hope it sells a million copies.

    When they came out with organic food, I was clueless. "What is organic food?" What? I don't know. "What does organic mean?" Contains carbon, as all living things do. "So why are some carrots organic and some carrots aren't?" I don't know.

    I'm still trying to revise my fiber speech to explain it, but not include the only words that everyone has actually heard, since God Forbid we use those two words again.

    And now you come along with lean muscle.

    I can see it now:

    "What is lean muscle?" I don't know. "What does it mean?" I have no idea. You have different kinds of muscles, like your heart gets a kind, just for it. I assume "lean muscle" means "skeletal muscle," like the kinds you use, your biceps and triceps - your muscles that go along with your skeleton - skeletal muscles - and help you move. Your muscles. But I have no idea what it means.

    Send me some business cards. I'll tell them to call you. ;)

    Good luck with your book. :)

    It baffles me that someone flagged Alan's post as spam, especially when it is in direct response to questions in the thread.

    I got the book for my Kindle and it's fantastic.

    It's honestly just what the industry needs. A no-BS book that's pretty much addressed to general population. This is a book I'll be recommending to quite a few people.

    "Skeletal Muscle Diet" sounds much more catchy. O wait....

    I was doing slow burn for a few months.

    This was my routine:

    August:

    Squat, 1 rep.

    Took me the entire month to complete the rep.


    Fred emailed me asking for pics.

    Wow, first she tries to troll Sara and then she has the nerve to try and school/troll whatever you want to call it, Alan. Just absurd. I truly do get ignorance is bliss but this is just far out there.

    I tried to throw her a lifeline in the other thread, she is on her own with this one. Bliss indeed.

    This book looks interesting, but I'm wondering if it's really geared towards men, so that I wouldn't really benefit. What do y'all think?
