Pod: different ways to skin a cat… I don’t think you have really been following this thread. Not all “poliquin people” are a like and it sounds like you went to someone who follows him a little too closely.
Yes, nutrition is the 1st and foremost impact regarding body comp changes.
Calories are not where its at. Im sorry but this has been refuted more times than it has been “proven.” Why does it work for people? Why does it work for you? Because of habit. You have created a habit of following something. Most people who “try” a “diet” do so with hardly any specifics or dedication. They have a low willingness to change. Paleo could mean anything, so when they don’t lose weight on it they think the diet doesn’t work.
We, as Practitioners, have to deal with peoples life style(s) if we want them to be successful and make long term changes. If I get a woman in my office with a prior history of eating disorder or body imaging issues and I tell her to become OCD and count something in every meal shes gona fucking lose it, fail and then recycle back into depression.
Most people don’t even eat clean to begin with - so to start we have them focus on Quality over Quantity. I don’t care how much shit food you eat, it still may affect you. Clean foods are a different story.
Plus if you have seen recent research, a majority of companies it has been found out have been mislabeling or not even doing the science on their products caloric accuracy. Meaning, Kraft in particular does in house calorie counting for their products and when the researcher asked about how they create their calorie count for nutritional labels the representative said “We don?t have any information on how the calories and nutrients are established for our food products.”… Kellogs said “we have an in-house food testing lab. If any changes occur to existing food products, we?ll retest.” So we are leaving it up to the companies that make the product to tell us how much of it is really in it??? These nonruled, FDA exempt companies? Strange. It works because you are following a path. Every path leads somewhere.
Aw the supplement argument…what fucking website you on mate? What is the cost and what is sold on this site? Same amount and targets different problems. With poliquin stuff as with Biotest there is a product quality you are paying for. You can get the stuff else were and for cheaper, doesn’t have to be poliquin. I am more interested in helping people rather than my commission for poliquin sales so I don’t mind telling someone to go use source naturals or buy from the company poliquin buys from. [/quote]
I have to sAy that i agree with you with most of the things. An average guy/girl, with a typical american diet will see a great progress just from switching from to a healthy diet like Poliquin’s. However, for ppl who have been lifting for a while and who want to get to single digit bf, i think counting calories will yield much quicker results, for a simple reason of having more control over your diet, food intake and hence the overall fat loss.
You are right about often incorrect nutritiinal data. However, that is not so important. For example, if i eat kraft pb every day, all i need a number at the end of the day, saying that i ate less kraft today than yesterday.
