For what its worth (and I am sure you won't believe me), I have actually tracked different macro nutrient breakdowns for myself and have found that the same total cals of a higher fat diet 50 - 60% (good healthy fats of course) with protein 30% and the rest of the cals rounded out with carbs have me stay leaner than swapping the fat and carb ratios. |
Right. So I should believe some random dude on the internet over accepted physiology. Care to tell me how that would, physiologically, result in less fat gain? Care to explain what exactly a calorie is?

My THEORY?! Talk about living blindfolded. My theory happens to be in every basic physiology textbook and paper that is out there. My theory happens to be accepted FACT. There are so many confounding variables and validity issues with your little case study you expect me to believe YOU over science?! Feel free to tell us how exactly your theory works, numbnuts.

And those 'some people' would be you. Science told us the earth wasn't flat, and now you're saying it's nothing more than a behind-the-times archaic thought process?!

This has been interesting...

Science can explain everything. That's the point of science. I like seeing and hearing examples of people too, but guess what, he's selling you a product. I have no doubt that this program is good. The problem is all the quacks like you who are recommending beginners to eat until they get diabetes/heart disease when they're 40, and lift way out of their goals and capabilities (not saying starting strength necessary meets the latter half of this criteria).
