Topic: What do you think of this? Fad or Fact?

I've yet to come to any conclusion on the relevance of this program but It is somewhat reminiscent of paleo so I figured I'd let you all check it out.

Works well for some people, I've heard.

"A good nutritionist has MANY tools in his arsenal.  There are just way too many different situations, individual metabolisms, etc. to try to think everyone can fit into the same mold.  I may not use the exact ideas of "carb-backloading" and "intermittent fasting" as they are popularly known today (and by the way, diet fads come and go) but the general principles are there and have their use at certain times with certain people. ."-Shelby Starnes

That's about the whole science of any of it.  Much of what gets passed off as the "perfect answer" is part of a much more complete system being used for a specific athlete or practitioner.  I personally feel that a good diet log and workout log would help everyone figure out about 95% of the issues with their training.

That's almost completely what I was thinking.

However, just for Sh's and Giggles. My Gym Partner and I have decided to test this out, as well as the w/o program, starting today. The workout is what I already like doing so that should be easy.

Will probably post progression Pics and Diet Workout log on my Journel herehttp://www.americanparkour.com/smf/index.php/topic,37786.0.html
