The purpose is to point new T-mag readers to good articles and to share with others what articles have really influenced you - it’s a big fat learning experience in other words, which is what this forum is all about.

What is the best diet-related article you’ve read at T-mag? Type the name of the article and provide a link like this: "I think one of the most useful diet articles was “Hey, Balance This!” by Lonnie Lowery. You can find it here: Strength Training, Bodybuilding & Online Supplement Store - T NATION

“Steroid Dieting” by Cy Wilson, the article is more extreme than most traditional diets and I like that since it suits my personality and it works. It can be found at

Has to be “Foods that make you look good nekid”. Though it’s not a diet per se, it helps you with all food choices, and that was very helpful to me. Strength Training, Bodybuilding & Online Supplement Store - T NATION

The best diet related article on the web site, bar none, is the Diet Manifesto, by Chris Shugart. It gave me a wake up call and now my food log never leaves my side. Read it NOW at Strength Training, Bodybuilding & Online Supplement Store - T NATION, especially if you keep whining about not losing fat, or not putting on muscle.

I also have to vote for “Foods That Make You Look Good Nekkid” Strength Training, Bodybuilding & Online Supplement Store - T NATION This is one of the best articles to show someone when they’re just starting to get into fitness and nutrition.

Don’t Diet, Appetite for Construction by John M. Berardi(2nd question).
The (P+C) morning meals give me enough energy to lift and (P+F) afternoon and night helps keep fat off.

What’s the reason many people fail to keep off the weight after they use the Atkins diet to lose it? They have no idea how to come off of a keto diet. Luckily, JB shows us how in an Appetite for Construction column:

While I do like “Foods That Make You Look Good Nekkid” - I have to put my vote for the two recent “The Winning Formula” articles. Wow. Liked them VERY much. And here’s where they can be found:

Massive Eating Part 1 by John Berardi located here: Strength Training, Bodybuilding & Online Supplement Store - T NATION

This article opened my eyes up more than any other diet article I had ever read.

13

Here are a few favorites of mine. I like this article by Cy Wilson about the Forbidden Fruit. It can be found here: Strength Training, Bodybuilding & Online Supplement Store - T NATION

I also thought that Solving the Post-Workout Puzzle Parts 1 and 2 were helpful. They can be found here: http://testosterone.net/html/141post.html

http://testosterone.net/html/142post.html

And I also agree about Massive Eating and Don't Diet. But here's a good article by John Berardi in his Appetite for Construction: www.t-mag.com/articles/175app.html

Though I too thought “Massive Eating” (Strength Training, Bodybuilding & Online Supplement Store - T NATION ) was the thing that really got me into t-mag programs - its “Don’t Diet” counterpart (Strength Training, Bodybuilding & Online Supplement Store - T NATION ) never panned out as Mr. Berardi says it should (and hey no offense, perhaps I just am not suited for your diet - and no the calories and food selections were as on as can be.

The one article that TAKES THE CAKE (well, of course, cake was an exclusion) was Alesi's Iron Dog style Meltdown dieting parameters provided at the following addy:

(questions #1 and “Ripped in 8 Weeks ideas”)

WHAM! Dropped over 7% BF and CONCURRENTLY GAINED 3 pounds from my baseline weight in 8 weeks. Chris pass these results on to TC too as in issue 212, I said I would give you final tallies but have yet to do so and my 8 weeks have been complete! It is a true pain in the a*s, I tell you and normally my supplement bills go up and grocery bills go down on a “cutting” cycle of any sort - but this time was rare as both went UP.

BUT I TELL YOU WHAT - ANYONE WHO SAYS THEY HAVE MAXED THE AMOUNT OF FAT LOSS OR MAXED THE AMOUNT OF MUSCLE MASS THEIR GENETICS HAS ALLOWED DOESN’T HAVE THE BALLS TO TRY THIS PROGRAM!

Please pass the word on to Don, too!

Go to be the Pound o’ Week diet by Peter Loux.

Pop Quiz, Hotshot

Pretend you're back in high school and mean ol' Mr. Berardi has just passed out a pop quiz. Luckily, there's only one question:

Which of the following statements is true?

A) Most people succeed in training well enough to grow, but they fail in eating well enough to grow.

B) Most people eat well enough to grow, but they don’t train well enough to grow.

Pencils down. Okay, which is it? If you said "A," give yourself a gold star. But don't feel too badly if you chose "B." To an extent, both answers are correct. Most people probably train and eat incorrectly! But if I had to pick one answer that was more true than the other, I'd say "A" would be the best choice. If you're not growing, it's probably your diet, not your training, that's holding you back.

YOu got to love how massive eating part I starts off http://testosterone.net/html/146mass.html

Don’t Diet, Appetite for Construction by John M.Berardi

Simply put, a diet that can be followed for the rest of your life and not just for a couple of weeks. I like it, live it, and feel it.

Being a huge JMB fan, its got to me “The Essential Berardi,” it gives you a cliff noted version of all his tips, tricks, ideas, beliefs, etc…find it at

Close seconds have to be massive eating, as it finally got me to believe that eating more than 2,000 cals wasnt going to get me fat, now i'm eating 4,000 maintenance, and i'm finally getting bigger and stronger. Got to include all the roundtables(fat, protien, Carb) as those are extremely informative as well, I'm out guys, deuce
