Fitness/diet consulting project - adding more clients soon.
Hey everyone, A while back, I had posted a thread looking for participants for one-on-one consulting as a means to: a) Help people in this community and b) Gain experience that will prove valuable to me if/when I decide to start doing this part-time to supplement my career. This is just sort of a preliminary announcement…

What is IIFYM?
Recently there's been an increase in threads where someone posts about IIFYM with the assumption that IIFYM is a specific calorie or macronutrient setting. This is happening because one of the websites promoting IIFYM also includes a calorie estimation tool and recommended macronutrient settings. I'm only posting here to…

Paper Credentials vs The Fitness Industry
Recently in the main forums, we had the pleasure of watching an apparently successful trainer humiliate herself repeatedly by: a) Offering unsubstantiated claims and blatant broscience as advice, such as avoiding carbs at night. (LOL) b) Repeatedly use ad-hominem attacks and her credentials to try and validate her faulty…

Getting caught up on old threads
Over the long weekend we intend to get current on as many threads as possible in ETP. Thank you all for your patience, have a happy and safe holiday, and keep it paleo. lolnotsrs

I listened to you and succeeded, then I stopped. Now what?
So there's some instances (I hope it's not a trend) where people will come to us either in the form of PM's or through threads in our group where the following happens: 1) OP wants advice on their specific situation. Usually intake/training related specifically for fat loss. 2) OP gets advice. 3) OP takes our advice and…

A really insightful post by Steve Troutman.
I found this very interesting and informative as it delves into some of the deeper aspects of dieting beyond the mechanical stuff: http://body-improvements.com/2013/05/24/undiet-your-diet/ I'd also recommend readers check out other posts by Steve on the above website. He's really got some great information to share.

Final week of May, expect delays in ETP.
Hey everyone, I'll be going on vacation next week with limited internet access. We may get some rain in which case I might log in a few times, but I'll be largely absent from the group which means Sara will get overwhelmed and probably end up stress eating and gaining even MORE weight. So please be patient with the group…

Ice Cream, Pop Tarts, and getting DICED SON.
It's about time I end this dreamer bulk and see what's underneath. Currently at about 194-195lbs and an estimated 15% bodyfat give or take. I'm bloated like a mofo in these pics, but here we go: Side relaxed: Front relaxed (lolgut): Front flexed: Training: I'll continue running a modified 5/3/1 although I may be reducing…

Oh noes! Fructose!
This post was basically influenced by a great article that Acg shared today. Many of you may have heard of the name Lustig. He's basically known for causing somewhat of an uproar regarding fructose. You can see his presentation here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBnniua6-oM Then you can watch Alan Aragon basically blast…

Fitness consulting project. Final update #2.
LOL. Just another heads up since I'm getting some PM's on the topic. I am still selecting one to two more people by end of the month. I will announce a final close when it happens, but I'm not done yet. As of now I am not accepting any more applications. I will likely be starting another round of this in the future and…

Possibly offering my services -- checking interest
Hello everyone, As only some of you may know, I've been exploring different options for potentially career-pathing into fitness/nutrition/body-recomposition on a very part time and at-my-own-pace basis and as a supplement to my already enjoyable career and lifestyle. I'd like to potentially offer my services for free to a…

Thread locking and intake follow ups
Hey! We are going to implement a new method soon, that is strictly designed to streamline our process here and prevent us from spending time staring at resolved threads. When we believe a thread has been resolved, we are going to lock the thread. If for any reason you have something of value to add, you can PM one of us to…

Lyle/Martin fiasco thread
Hey everyone, I just wanted to offer an explanation as to why I deleted the soap opera thread. After reading the information, it seemed pretty clear to me that the emails that Martin posted between himself and Alan Aragon were intended to be private from Alan's perspective. Alan has not only been very influential to my…

Fuji Apples vs Red Delicious apples
Hey guys I was wondering which apple would be better for me. Seriously though I'm not. But there's a message here. You should really be thinking about your diet as a sum of the parts and not the parts themselves. Especially when making silly-*kitten* comparisons like the title of this thread. Think that 1 serving of white…

The Glycemic Index

How to blast that fat from a specific area!
Tough turds, you can't. But in the main forums, we see the question brought up DAILY and what's even worse, we often see it prefaced with "I know you can't spot reduce but......" So here's some actual research on it that should help to explain that doing those 200 crunches, really won't blast that belly fat. At the…

I really like this article.
And I wanted to share it. Also, if you find that your jimmies go from being un or partially rustled to fully rustled, please be aware that this is not my intent. Enjoy: http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/fat-loss/you-are-not-different.html

The purpose of this group.
Sarauk2sf and I will routinely get questions in our inbox regarding general nutrition or fitness. Since we happen to share the same philosophies, and agree on just about everything, we decided to form this group as an attempt to help people get their questions answered without having to filter through some of the…

Two years of fun.
I'm a few weeks early but since I'm about to bulk, I'll post it now :) My beginning happened two years ago. I hadn't seen my friend Nathanial in several years, and the 39" belly, 20+% bodyfat and 202 lbs (a soft, jiggly 202 lbs) I was carrying must have been an eye opener for him. He walked into the room, pointed at my…
