I've been on EVERY SINGLE DIET you can imagine, EVERY SINGLE EXERCISE program you can imagine.

Did you stick with those programs for 5 years without cheating?

Of course not! that is the whole point of the article. read it again! the other diets cause hunger and obesity. why do you think there is an epidemic?

Look at how obese some of the poor blacks in the ghetto are becoming - they eat a diet of almost PURE CARBOHYDRATES...

Ok, I've heard you discuss what you don't believe in from a dietary standpoint. What DO you believe in specifically. You stated 20% fat and that is too low for me. I'm more of a 30% fat, 50%-60% protien, 10-20% clean carb guy. I'd rather sacrifice carbs for protien, since my body can make it's own glucose if it has to...

I must stress that the fats I try to include are CLEAN. I don't eat bacon, sausage, fatty red meat or pork. I don't use margarine or like products.. I eat fatty fish, Flax oil in my protien shakes and some nuts.

Most people CANNOT stick with low fact/low calorie diets, because A} they don't work and B} they are deprivation diets that make people sick or hungry. That's why there are no long term studies that show net losses on low fat - most show net gains because the participants drop out.
