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.
Re the diets followed by IFBB pros, they can get away with more dietary transgressions because of the gear and ancillary drugs.
Have you seen those magazine ads with Lee Priest? The guy looked as big around as he is tall. 16 weeks later he's ripped with 3% bodyfat? I know the copy says that he was fat for his standards, but i've seen pictures of him in prior years and he looked that fat then too. He must've had a lot of pharmaceutical help to get from A to B. I'd love to see what his intake of clen, T3and GH was running up to that show.
In short, I'm not sure we should point to the IFBB pros as dietary models for anyone...
