I enjoyed the article, but would like clarification. You mention early in the article that protein of 1.5 g/kg of lean body mass is required, then later you mention 1.5 g/lb of lbm. Could you please clarify which is appropriate?

Really enjoyed this article, thanks Lyle. Very interesting. I’ve been guilty of too much volume and not enough intensity, a good reminder

The only hormonal system that the EC stack can possibly ‘fix’ is reduced sympathetic nervous system drive which is one of many that goes down with dieting.

say you were on a diet for (insert amount of time here) and your hormones were falling, would starting to take ephedrine help with hormone levels at all? if not, then would it be best to start taking ephedrine after a diet “break”?

Here’s something for you and Frameless to consider: IF YOU DON’T LIKE WHAT I HAVE TO SAY OR HOW I SAY IT THEN DON’T READ THE SITE.

Seriously, what is with the constant whingeing on the Internet these days, is it the estrogen in the water bottles? Because if all you folks who have NOTHING better to comment on is that I’m an asshole, then your lives must be very very very empty.

That’s the real pity. That you bitch about me but we both know you read my site constantly. You can’t help yourself. Your like the idiots who complain about Howard Stern, and listen to him every day. Get a life, find something better to do than read a site when it gives you so much angst.

No-one is forcing you to be here, no-one is forcing you to read my articles. So if all you can do is bitch, it’s easy: leave. Take my site out of your bookmarks or Google reader or whatever.

But spare me the whining. It’s just pathetically sad.

Don’t like it? Then don’t read it. It seems altogether too simple.

Much of human persuasion has to do with being liked to a large degree before people will even be ready to accept the written or spoken views of the presenter. Lyle could probably do more with the opporunity before him. Obervance of Lyle’s comments and “scientific” writing leave much to be desired as far as being applicable to many situations addressed in his writing from a mature and peer point of view. Practical obervance of human and non-human situations have repeatedly contradicted his opinion. This subject is a good example, as is this comments section.

He states opinions of others he seems to accept and respect and then closely says basically the same thing, often not what he himself found in practical or live situations. This shows a lack of being detailed as many notice.

Being rude to others turns them off to accepting any validity Lyle does have in his writing and thus limits his audience. Lyle responds negatively and defensively to being questioned and innocent suggestions. That is a poor combination for science and persuasion and even for informative purposes. Lyle seems comfortable with his writings and personality though. Pity.

Let it go. Seriously, just let it go. Frameless was just a little whiner anyhow.

I’d rather have correct information with someone being brutally honest about dieting than keep on living in lala-land. I am extremely thankful for Lyles writing. If he would not have written the stuff that he does I would not be where I am today bodycomp-wise. I’m sure thousands of others would say the same thing.

Personality does matter in relationships with a person but I really appreciate Lyles honesty, internet would suck allot more without him. I’m a rational person and I think more people should be instead of doing stupid stuff.

Lyle, Personality has nothing to do with your writings, and nothing to do with the fact that you are generally heralded as an authority in the field. Plus, I think that such a demeanor results from being of superior intelligence. Tiger woods is good at Golf, and that is all anyone should care about.

I’ve read a lot of your work, but as far as I can tell you’ve never detailed your personal “diet”. If you have, maybe you could point me in the right direction? Thanks.

Thank you for noticing, Bob. I’ve worked very hard to become what I am and would hate that some internet person didn’t notice my hard work.

Question back at you: what does my personality have to do with anything? Does Tiger Wood’s personality issues detract from his golf skills? Or can you not make the distinction between the two?
