btw, Anthony never did respond to Fred’s final caning, it’s a doozy:

The caning from Fred was a good one. Poor AC. He’s likely covered with welts from the drubbings he’s recently taken.

Don’t worry about Anthony Colpo. You gave him quite a caning a few months ago . So bad a caning in fact Colpo could not take the heat, that’s the only reason you were banned. You made the “Almighty Colpo” look mortal.

I can vouch for you that he edited what you say and then bans because he did it to me too, the ( formerly , stupidly, and never again) biggest syocphant of his forum- “Razzi”. The fact that I vouch for you speaks VOLUMES about Colpo’s integrity- he has none.

If Anthony Colpo needs to do as many sets and volume of an exercise that he says he must NOT be training that hard .

Keep on super slowing and putting Anthony Colpo’s puny build to shame.

Sincerely

Razwell

Of course, I don’t care, it’s just a minor academic point to me. If it does exist, in my case, it’s too small to even notice at all.

I don’t know why he gets himself into such a lather over it (except to promote his book, of course, but it seems to go deeper than that with him).

I’m glad to see the name I coined for him, the adhomnivore, is finally catching on! I still can’t believe he has the -nads/lack of self awareness/impaired memory/whatever- to attack anyone for ad hominem attacks. Jeeesus…..

Hey mrfreddy–

Don’t worry. The metabolic ward studies quoted don’t put a stake through the heart of the metabolic advantage idea. Only his interpretation of them. I really will get around to dealing with them.

It seems as though he’s not as critical a reader as he claims.

My only guess is that he jumped to a conclusion and grouped you in with Atkins without really reading more into it just as he apparently reviewed Taubes without reading his work. He must have just read that you believed that MAD existed and that you disagreed with him on that one issue. Then he must have assumed that by MAD that you meant that you could ‘eat all the low-carb you want and still lose weight.’

I’m just stunned that he would stake his reputation on this one issue when you’ve clearly agreed with him on this.

That being said, someone who would actually change, edit, post and then ban people publicly without giving them a chance to reply is despicable. It’s one thing for your readers and supporters to speak ill of him but reading Razwell’s comments speaks volumes about the guy.

Nothing surprises me about the Ad Homnivore an longer except that I can always count on him trying to exploit anything I write for his own self-promotion efforts. It’s sad, really.

Just a quick note from someone who did the Fat Fast a couple of times last year to try and get rid of that last, pesky 5 kg using it. It does work, but — as it’s low on protein — it is not muscle sparing. Quite the opposite. Then when you stop it, because you’ve not been ingesting much in the way of food weight, your weight then goes up (because you’re then eating more weight in food) and you have to cross your fingers that you maintain at least some deficit. I’ve had far more success with Dr Mike’s suggestion in the previous post “Low-carb and calories” of eliminating nuts and cheese (damn!). The weight for me came off quicker and stays off.

The trick appears to eat enough cals to maintain your rate of metabolism while providing a enough deficit to lose. Well, I haven’t done any calcs, I’ve just held off the Ns & Cs and apparently got that balance right through sheer dumb luck.

But I will say this in favour of the Fat Fast: you actually don’t feel hungry, so it’s not torture. The amount of food you eat is so small it’s freaky, but it’s doable without a serious sense of deprivation. But it’s hardly a party either!

Michael.

I feel like a rhino if I eat 1500 calories now. I just don’t know what a good calorie range is. I know if I eat carbs I don’t lose at all unless I’m netting some crazy practically starvation number and just losing lean muscle…so I’m going to really work at making this low carb lifestyle happen. I’m really good at the visualization part…

Thank you, Dr. Eades for clearing up that it’s probably not dangerous (the fat fast) other than feeling like I might FREAK out on any given person by the 3rd day if I eat one more handful of macadamia nuts.

Got it. Thanks.

Yes, it’s a great way, but kind of a PIA (pain in the you know what). I did fiddle with it though and discovered that my food intake today (rib eye steak, tomato, asparagus, cucumber, about a third of a roast chicken, 3 eggs, 3 slices of bacon, and a half an avocado) provided me with 1437 kcal and 12 grams of usable carbohydrate. And to think that Ancel Keys’ subjects were starving on 1560 low-fat calories.

Thanks for the link.
