Dieting

My goal with this blog is to “monologue” about strength training. The benefit of regular exercise on the overall health cannot be disputed. So everything I write about is de facto good stuff.

But I do have my preferences or bias, such as training to failure. But even this is going through some sort of evolution…

There are aspects of training that I try to avoid discussing. The most obvious is dieting.

But not today.

Other then Fasting (I did a couple of fasts in my life and the last one was a so-so experience), the first diet that really got my attention was The Zone, by Dr Barry Sears. From my point of view, The Zone is a balanced -in term of the carb, fat, protein ratio- diet.

Then I got hooked by low carb type of diets. Of course, I tried Atkins, by Dr Robert C. Atkins. I went further down the path of low carb. Really further…

Since I am interested in bodybuilding, I was “introduced” to BodyOpus (ISBN-10: 0965310701), by the late Dan Duchaine. This is The very low carb diet designed for people looking to get lean and ripped. BodyOpus is a turn-key diet for individual looking for definition.

The low carb diet is really something I like. For example, Protein Power, by the Eaders Drs is interesting.

Finally, again in the low or very low carb diet department, there is also The Ketogenic Diet, by Lyle McDonald.

  1. A really fascinating article thanks! I have always been rather concerned using my height in relation to my weight and discovered this terrific website which has a helpful BMI calculator which allows you to recognize how much you must weight in contrast to your height. It gives a advantageous baseline thought as to what you ought to be aiming for. Give it a shot.
