Ok, got it. Thanks a lot for you advice, much appreciated.

Yeh. Some of his stuff is a bit bonkers.

Am I correct in assuming you lift weights, and follow a low carb high protein diet? So, from what I remember (I used to date a body builder!), the low percentage of body fat was due to muscle building - and the energy used to repair muscle tissue is what burns fat? And protein accelerates this process?

Thanks. I'm just a bit confused, especially as I've been following (but now stopped) the "4 hour diet" by Tim Ferriss. He was all about protein intake and eating certain foods, but no counting calories.

I appreciate the difference between healthy eating and non healthy eating, but the focus here is on losing weight. Re the calorie is a calorie arguement - I've had a quick look, so basically from what I can glean the evidence in inconclusive. I'm just wondering how to get the best from this website, but I don't want to be…

I will, thank you! Body builders know more about their bodies than most medical experts.

I really appreciate your reply and excuse my ignorance but are you saying that yes, it is all about the amount of calorie intake? What you're saying sounds like good advice, I'm just having trouble understanding it!
