This article should be called 25 excuses people have for not having enough self control to diet and train properly. Everyone knows what is healthy and not healthy.. we really only make excuses to ourselves about poor food choices and half @ss workouts.

I don't think this was to point out people who "half @ass" it all. It was to explain as to why the things they know are bad, are bad. Maybe post a picture of your own physique before bashing others.

commenting on your reply to my comment earlier:
No.......3000 calories of natural food would send someone over their caloric expenditure, making them gain excessive weight compared to a person who eats 2000 foods of supposed "Crap". Eating more calories than you burn no matter the source causes weight gain. Once you have an understanding of macros nutrients (excluding all BS info) their is no "Crap" food or "Clean", just food.

@Charlie - Would have to disagree, while there is certainly truth to the macro nutrients, the types of food you are choosing make a difference. Eating whole grains and healthy fats versus the same calories in simple carbs and saturated fats is completely different. While your macros ultimately control your body weight, the types of food make a difference when it comes to fine tuning your composition. Macros work fine if your just looking to hit a certain "number" on the scale... Some people are fortunate enough to not have to worry about this as much as others and can get away with eating "crap" while other are not so lucky. - Great physique btw.

@Dreambig - the critics almost never have pictures...lol

For the most part I agree with you. I think it is good to have a variety of food including things that are called "unclean" and I know that you can regulate your weight by the calories consumed and your bf by the protein/fat/carb ratios. I've never had a 100% "clean" diet myself. I just believe that you can accelerate your results by eating the better foods more often and there ultimately is a difference. You are definitely right that people get the wrong idea and eat too much of the "better foods" thinking that they cannot gain weight that way. Agree to disagree for now on food "types", you're doing just fine with your current program! Congrats on your achievments.

well i still dont understand where your belief of eating "Clean" can accelerate your progress (really this just confuses me as their is no evidence or even justifiable reason to this claim) but you are right, we are all entitled to our opinion. Whatever your doing its working great though so i wouldn't change it lol

While I do agree with "If It Fits Your Macros", I also believe If you eat 2000 calories or "clean" food vs "2000" empty calories, It requires slightly more calories to digest a lot of food vs a couple of candy bars. I also believe the so call "clean foods" will yield better performance in the gym which in turn give you a slight edge.

I disagree with the cardio myth. You should do at least 5-10 minutes of cardio before a workout to warm up your muscles so they can preform better and they will be less prone to injurys.

1. The author was talking about the fact that it doesn't help to lose weight, she said nothing about warming up.
2. She's referring to cardio where you're actually pushing yourself not warm up cardio; there's a complete difference.

If you want to get in shape and burn fat you shouldn't run long distances on the treadmill simply because it burns muscles. Instead use interval training, do 30 seconds of high intensity with 1 min or a little more of rest. Repeat 8-10 times.

Maybe the body does adapt to long distance running, but that's certainly not the number one argument as to why you shouldn't run long distance, its because it burns muscles off your body - and remember, muscles burn fat so you want a lot of them.
