Doesn't this fuck with your whole system? I mean, I don't think the human body is suposed to work this way. I would appreciate someone on this diet told the drawbacks.

I understand the concept of this diet, but it's confusing because atm I'm eating alot of meals a day in light amouts and this works great. I feel allways energized, every morning I dont feel like shit and lazy, etc.

Maybe everybody organisms work better on different diets.

your body can only absorb so much protein in one sitting. So you are telling me that he takes in 50g or less of protein a day and keeps his physique?

Please give examples of what his one meal consists of, and what the 'supplements' he takes are.

A lot of the information we have been led to believe about meal timing and frequency is BS and is being turned on its head. The whole " if I don't eat x amount of protein/nutrients every so often my metabolism will slow down and I will be catabolic"... blah blah blah.<br />Intermittent fasting as well as other approaches that incorporate small fasts daily are proving to be extremely beneficial.<br />John Berardi(one of the biggest proponents of smaller frequent meals) details his experiences with Intermittent fasting in this free ebook.
http://www.precisionnutrition.com/intermittent-fasting<br />Leangains.com has tons of information as well.

Bahaha - people don't realize that there are multi-billionaire dollar wellness, fitness, and dietary industries that RELY on people consuming their products. They flood magazines with articles insisting that you should eat a bunch of small meals a day because it implies that they will sell much more of their hokey products.

I have weightlifted 4 to 6 days a week for ~8 years and haven't noticed any significant difference caused by dietary frequency changes OR ingesting tons of protein powder. Nowadays I eat a well-balanced diet with 4 meals a day and I have rarely been in better shape.

It really is fascinating how brainwashed people are about nutrition as if the tiny individual cells have little minds to determine what is best for the body. Wake up - it's all caused by the billion dollar industries trying to push their products.

Godmode - I don't think the human body is suposed to work this way.

For almost all of human history, people fasted and then gorged themselves, or ate several very light meals followed by an enormous meal. This whole 6+ meals per day thing is extremely recent. Even more recent than grocery stores, 9 to 5 jobs, and refrigeration.

Easy there Mr. end of days.

You might have a point in the multi-billionaire corporations making money fooling people, but I've talked to some nutriotionists and they all support the idea of eating 5-6 meals a day is the way to go. Although, not everybody is equal and "the better way to eat" or "the better diet" its subjective, what works for me might not be what works for you... but I guess the ultimate truth is if you eat healthy, no matter how, you're gonna feel good.

Can you really call something a "diet" if you have to take supplemental shakes and whatnot? If you have to supplement, then it's quite obvious that the diet is inadequate.

He also talks about feeling better...well that's obviously having to do with the fact that he decided to lose over 30 pounds. No shit you're going to feel lighter and more more energetic.

SD_CARTEL · November 30, 2011, 4:32pm

For all those claiming these theories on protien intake, meal timing, and there being no such thing as a day to day catabolic state. That somehow all this is garble put forth by the supplement companies, I respectfully challenge you to cite some sources from any studies that say the opposite. I am not saying you are wrong, I just would like to see some documentation. Because I have read many NEUTRAL studies put forth by professionals that back up the claims of dieticians, trainers, doctors, nutritonist, athletes etc etc.

Go!

ZekeJones · November 30, 2011, 5:49pm
