Hi Everyone,
In my own (anecdotal) experience, the low fat diet of 5-6 meals per day, starch + lean protein and optional vegetables, works best with me.
Larry North's Slimdown for Life did the best job of this.
At least in the 1970's and 1980's, it seemed like it was the best way.
1. However, in bodybuilding, etc. circles there is so much contrarianism, etc.
Over the years, I have seen dozens of supposed "tricks" or "tweaks". Yet, more often than not, the side effects and other problems actually are more of a dangerous detour, not a "clever shortcut".
Among the b.s. I have seen are:
- Fasted cardio is SO MUCH more effective than doing it after meals (the difference seems marginal, especially when we factor in the lessened ergogenic output)
- Late night eating is bad for you (based on Eastern medicine that the body slows down at night)
- Cardio at night is best for you (again, based on Eastern medicine)
The list goes on and on.
2. Is there anything wrong with a low-fat diet, such as "Larry North's Seven Day Sizedown"

3. Where do lipids have a role in our diet? Why do we really need them?
Any research to show why?
