Grahn, I don’t think anyone here is saying that you should eliminate saturated fats from your diet. You have to have some for it to be healthy and well rounded. Some people also utilize them more effectively as a fuel source. But considering the amount of sats in the average American’s diet, even a healthy one, we could all afford to try an avoid them generally especially when cutting. I do eat an ass load of flax and fish caps. I can say that besides Hot-Rox they help maintain LBM while shedding fat more effectively than anything else. They also help with an ideal cholesterol profile. Lastly, though there is evidence that sats help T levels, the other fats help utilize free T more effectively. So that tells me you need both in the right amounts. Check out Berardi, as stated above he has the most balanced approach to when they can be used and when they can’t.
Been reading up on this famous NeilG person at the request of p-dog and just thought id share my opinion.
Ok…hes a bit too extreme and a bit narrowminded.
But i cant help to wonder if it wasnt partly due to the responses he got.
Some people who bashed him could have had an open mind themselves cause he had some good points mixed in there too.
All in all i think its sad if the forum lost some of its divercity just cause he and some others were a tad too busy cracking down on details too see the big picture.
Neil G was badgered into a defensive position and once there he couldnt get out of it.
Paleolithic diets are an intresting subject and since they mainly support whats been recently discovered about fats beeing healthy and carbs not beeing all its cracked up to be they realy should be considered as a source of valuable information.
Afterall evolution does have a bit of a headstart on science.
Anyway, as ive said im NOT him, i dont think eggs should be consumed raw. I dont think we should drink coconutoil instead of flax. I do wear deo and i do brush my teeth on a everyday basis.
That beeing said i do share some of his opinions.
You guys need to grow up. The whole issue of Neil being an idiot is one thing. Discussing it over and over again here doesn’t accomplish anything. P-DOG, we all read the mag and saw this letter last Friday. Nobody posted on it because it’s old news and nobody cares. Accusing other posters of being Neil G is childish. Every time I check these forums lately I find my IQ dropping. Be respectful, be helpful and if you don’t have anything positive to add, keep quiet.
