    I said in terms of body comp. I completely agree with a good diet for health purposes. Funny I believe one of the chicken and broccolli gurus no?

    He's saying that it doesn't matter what you eat once you adhere to kcal requirements, when it comes to being "ripped".

    ...in the real world it doesn't work because we're concerned with both health and diet adherence. But who cares about the real world on the theoretical internet!

    Iifym doesnt work ? Maybe layne norton and most of the bodybuilding world are wrong and your right then? if you cant adhere to a flexible diet you certainly wont adhere to a strict super clean diet . You keep mentioning health but the fact is once you get your micronutrients in for the day the rest of your "clean eating" is not necessary. Its proven science hanley you just dont want to let go of your bro diet.

    Layne Norton is a sh1t stirrer. I like him but he is. He's creating a cult of Layne to enhance his image and make money which is totally ok but I had to point this out becasue you're a carbon copy of one of his disciples. You reek of his "you got gurud" campaign. But whatever, maybe you'll realise the irony of this and maybe you won't.

    Back on topic, how is "avoid sugar" rubbish advice? It's carbs & calories condensed into the smallest possible form that will do the least to alleviate hunger etc etc. If you're all for counting macros why would "avoid sugar" be bad advice for someone with a limit on how many carbs they can have in a day? Regardless of "chicken & brocolli" gurus who think we need to eat exclusively that which we pick up in our lawnmowers, sugary food is just inneficient.

    Before you strike me down with your Layne-hammer read my old posts on this forum over the last few years. I'm the antithesis of what you call the chicken & brocolli brigade. I care not for nutrition because it's an almighty clusterfuck of a debate and I'm so unendingly bored by the subject. Don't get me wrong, I'm not on your side, I think the obsession with macros and with protein in particular is the greatest load of ar5e imaginable.

    Here's a tip, you've over corrected. You've reacted to the cult of whole foods by diving into another cult. Read all theories and discount the most extreme 20% from each side of the argument would be my advice.

    I actually dont like layne norton but he clearly knows what hes talking about. Im completely with you im not an extreme either . I still eat broccolli and stuff but the advice given here when someone asks a newb question on how to lose weight will be of the food choice variety with not a single mention of calories which is just barkers . One could go miles over maintenance with clean foods .

    I havent checked rigorously, but I never got the impression that calories were ignored in advice given here. Its mentioned ad infinitum in pretty much all weight control threads.

    Most questions on here will be how to lose weight not how to extend ones life. The answer they will get will be something like "eat healthy foods" . One I saw the other day was "replace bread with oatcakes and peanut butter" . people should be given advice on getting into a calorie deficit and let them make their own food choices. Am I wrong?

    A lot of time its almost mentioned as a side thought after the food choice crew have run wild.

    Ya see I think everyone is trying overcomplicate this. If you told 90% of people to write down a day's eating to lose weight they'd probably write down something that would work.

    Everyone would replace the chips with the salad and "gurus" everywhere would lose millions.

    The problem with macros is they're tedious. I have two diets. My "I need to get strong now" diet and my "I need to lose weight now diet". The difference between them can actually be summarised in color form, never mind your macros. I simply replace as many beige things with as many green things as I can manage.

    This year I actually didn't bother with either and decided to simply out train my bad diet. And it worked!

    Problem solved. Where are my cult members? I want them to drink some of this special punch.

    But for someone with no knowledge of nutrition, giving them their own food choices leaves them lost. You tell someone to eat protein, when in some cases they don't actually know what foods contain protein, let alone which are the best protein choices to make. I'm not kidding, I've come across this.

    So of course, recommendations are being made. And it is certainly better to recommend healthy (unprocessed) food rather than maccy d's to someone with food issues or weight problems.

    yes your wrong, peoples food choices could be the very reason they are not in a deficit. its hard to end up on a binge from eating chicken and brocalli...the same can not be said of bread so in the case above the oatcake and peanut butter may be more likely to keep person on the straight and narrow.

    I like broccoli.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,919 ✭✭✭✭Gummy Panda


    While I don't fully agree with the clean foods mantra, it does work because its self limiting and simple. No hidden calories for people to count.

    The problem is people get some measure of results so they go "well I ate this much 'clean' food and lose this much fat so if I go extreme, I lose huge amounts". The people then go to every bodybuilding/fitness forum asking is this clean or that clean. Likewise IIFYM has gone to extremes where people are fitting all sorts of junk in their diet to 'annoy the bros and their bro foods'.

    In conclusion, I blame Hanley.


  • Subscribers Posts: 6,408 ✭✭✭conzy


    Sometimes adhering to a 100% clean diet is very tough. And on the other side of things you need to make sure you have good macros to achieve your goals.

    Im going to try and relax the strictness of my foods to keep me sane.

    e.g 1500 cals of clean food and 250 cals of "whatever" which allows 2 bananas, or a small chocolate bar or some peanut butter etc..

    Firstly, This is stolen for the topic of my new e-manual "The beige to green diet" E-millions here I come.

    Secondly didn't Norton get raped with logic by Lyle Mcdonald?

    Here's a fact about the caloric model of losing weight. 66% of people following it ended up fatter in a two year time span. Imagine I came out with a training plan that was so effective only 33% of people would be able to squat bodyweight?

    ref: The American Psychologist april 2007

    Show me someone who is already lean and got their training dialled in and I'll show you some one who can use iifym effectively.

    Show me your overweight clients who had a ‘dirty meal’ everyday and got shredded then I WILL perk up

    How practical is it actually to get your macros right without eating healthy?

    In another thread you said you could lose weight eating only McDonald's.

    Well, what does an average daily weight loss diet from McDonald's look like of you hit all the right macros.

    And is it sustainable?

    E.g. blowing 3/4 of your daily calories on one meal isn't.

    I'd love to see you explain that advice to someone who's about 6 stone overweight and doesn't even know what a macro is. It may be decent advise, as amazingemmet has hinted at for those who are somewhat educated on training and nutrition...those people, if you take a look around are very much in the minority.

    I said average - body builder's don't follow an average diet.

    I would say for most men an average calorific intake would be circa 2000 (slightly less maybe if trying to loss weight).

    What's a balanced 2000 a day diet in McDonalds look like?

    peoples food choice cannot be the reason they are not in a deficit OVERCONSUMPTION of any food ANY FOOD can make you real fat real fast. you just don't get that simple fact do you ? You have no argument . Your probably the very person giving this BS advice on here .

    How much broccoli would you need to over-consume to get real fat?

    I think I calculated it at circa 5.8 kilos a day. Good luck to you if you can eat that.

    I don't think anyone is really disagreeing with the fact that if you stick to within your macros you can lose weight and look shredded but that doesn't mean it's healthy or ideal.

    Yes, but you do give a **** about macros, and you're asserting that the right levels of macros and calories can be obtained from McDonalds every day.

    So tell us how you see the average person doing that.

    His contention is that if you are going over by 400 calories it doesn't matter what the source is - you'll get fat either way. That's how i read it anyway.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,057 ✭✭✭amazingemmet


    You swopped from macros in your first post to calories later on. You need a dose of vitamin mirror as to who is looking silly in this thread.

    Ok let me start with your initial argument 2000 calories from

    sugar, whey, and vegetable oil versus meats, rice/sweetpotato/veg, and a balance of fats which person will look different at the end? assuming identical twins etc. Who'll have better skin? Better hormonal profile?
