Actually, I think he's a moron because he is spreading misinformation. Which has nothing to do with what you're implying. Because not everything is a "lifestyle" or "way of thought". There's this thing called science, it's more about "facts".

The rest of it is not true either (because it's written by a moron).

He didn't say that. You are confusing two different people.

You must have at least 5 letters after your name in order for them to believe you without question. At least two of these letters must be capitalized. Sorry, I don't make the rules.

I missed this gem earlier: Is there really anything else that needs to be said? This man has wisdom of the highest order.

I said tomorrow. Are you saying you want me to leave today?

Your body is trying to tell you you're hungry. It likes sharing its feelings. There's nothing wrong with peanut butter. Eat it if you enjoy it, count it's calories and move on.

Tomorrow is my last day.

He distinguishes between different types of vegetables (and fiber) in the beginning. Lumping starchy vegetables in with fibrous vegetables is silly. Starches have a lot of digestible carbs. Fiber can be given a calorie value of 1.5-2 per gram. In other words, unless the fiber intake is massive, I don't bother counting…

It's funny how he puts everything into little paragraphs for us, completely demonizing one thing and completely supporting another. Some of the things he says are simplistic or just plain wrong. But I guess that's what sells books, simplistic sensationalism.

It's a legitimate appetite supressant. There are others as well though, that may be better suited. Note that there's always going to be variance - some people will not react well to it, some will. And there will always be the ones who think more must be better and overdose and end up dead. But that's with any drug.

You can't build something out of nothing. You can't magically make muscle out of thin air.

Didn't you say Lyle was a quack? Have you changed your mind?

The article supports what I said. My statement is specific to fibrous vegetables (not starchy vegetables such as carrots/pea/corn/etc.). It would apply for your broccoli statement though. The article explains this too. But if you're going to eat an insane amount of fibrous vegetables, I agree that even those calories can…

Your motorcycle thanks you. I started riding last year (Ninja 500), they're so fun!

All I require is a pulse.

Maybe I phrased it poorly. I meant half of the calories from fibrous vegetables won't be absorbed (on average). I did not mean half of all calories of any type will not be absorbed due to fiber. Haha.

What are you talking about? I never said half of ALL calories will be lost due to fiber. That would be silly. "While there is still some debate in the area, researchers have assigned a caloric value to fiber of 1.5-2 cal/gram (depending on the specific type). "

I got it from here - http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/nutrition/fiber-its-natures-broom.html

Yes, if it helps you hit your protein goal, why not? Take whey protein (fast digesting) around your workouts. Casein (slow digesting) the rest of the time. Also, go Huskies.

Eat a bunch of fibrous vegetables every day.

You can customize the goals so you don't see the red.

On average, half of the calories won't be absorbed from fibrous vegetables (soluble fiber) so it's simpler not to count the calories from them.

Endurance athletes.

Sorry, but what you said is wrong. Meal timing is irrelevant to your metabolism, as scientific studies have shown. We've also discussed it here many many times. Total calories/macronutrients for the day is what matters.

Actually I don't really disagree with anything mercenary said and I do the same thing he described. I usually do some dynamic stretching prior to my heavy lift days, but even prior to that, I usually do a very light warm-up which you could consider cardio as well. But I am assuming the OP was asking about cardio in the…

Save the cardio for last, particularly if you're routine includes legs on that day. Or just do the cardio on non-lifting days. This way the cardio won't affect your lifts, for the most part.
