Lighten up Frances, I clipped my response and acknowledged it.

I've lost fat doing nothing but intense weight training, so from my experience, weight training will indeed burn fat in the short run.

LOL! Well done. I apoligize, I sometimes come across on the internet more belligerant then I really am.

I agree with your point about the WBF as well... but most of the IFBB guys use my method.

To the others, I have never said I do not like protein or fat. Read my posts. Do you all HONESTLY think that the long-distance runners I mentioned would benefit from your diet?

I went on an extremely low-fat diet and I had problems. My joints were not good when I attempted heavy lifts like the squat or the dead-lift and my flexibility suffered.

Please, this is not an "All-or-nothing" debate. I did not say that fat and protein was bad.

To whoever asked what I do when I run out of zip during training. Believe it or not, after an hour or so of martial arts, my Korean partners would eat a salt-lick with water. This helps.

Also, I NEVER siad to eat high-glycemic foods, you can mix them and that effectively lowers the glycemic index for the food.

DallasMike, I stand corrected, but I have seen people on a no-carb diet exhibit bizarre symptoms such as awful breath, mental confusion, etc. Carbohydrates are the brains MAIN source of energy people.
