Weight loss, nutrition and marketing and anchovies

[hekidanjo]

So, I'm back to eating what Chris Carmichael tells me to eat. Much like the Galloway Heresy that you can run faster by occasionally walking, I'm amazed at the people who freak out that I'm losing weight (3lbs this week) while getting 60% of my calories from carbs.

Losing weight really IS just as simple as this: eat fewer calories than you need.

LOVE this post. And now you are the most-hated customer in that shop, I'll bet.

I'm sure there was a lot of conversation about how much I don't know after I left. At least that's what I like to imagine since, right there in a display shelf very close to the register is a display of GU energy gel...total high science sugar in the most easily digestible form known to mankind.

LOL! You go George! That conversation had me in stitches!

I agree with this post entirely!

:-) My patience is just really getting thin with people who just parrot some odd mish-mash of ideas without reading any deeper. I guess the context of a good choice is important to me.

It's like local, organic eggs...they aren't any different food wise and I cringe (or worse) when people suggest that it's so. To me, it detracts from the important ideas that local food is good on many levels and taking better care with the chickens laying the eggs is the right thing to do.

I hear you. I've found my patiences getting thin too. Poor Jason has to bare the brunt of it though because no matter what I'll still try to help people when they ask.

That's what it's about isn't it? :-)
You can tell a person cares because they get frustrated, when you care, you can't stop wanting to help.

I loved this post, very interesting.

I have a question for you. My friend just started personal training and he trainer asked her if she does any exercise and she said she runs about 15k a week. He then told her that running is brutal, you get nothing out of it ither than it messing up your leg musles.

So my question is, along with a healthy low fat diet what are the benefits of running three times a week (about 4k each time) in terms of weight loss?
