Also, I love the IIFYM presence telling paleos they are wrong in the paleo forums..... And Waldo, as you said previously, let me know when you have a complete meta-analysis on the effects of gluten being a load of dung. There are hundreds of studies that say otherwise....as well as plenty of other people's n=1 experiments saying otherwise.

You could try adding in a version of trail mix that appeals to you. You can get a ton of calories very quickly with that, and pick and choose different items to get the macro balance you are looking for.

Good luck, if someone had that answer, they'd be pretty wealthy. Plenty of things that can "shorten" a cold....maybe. I usually just overload myself with as many vitamins as possible.

Waldo- i just read through the gnolls stuff and can see why you dont see some it as valid, especially the error in calorie counting. What is your response to all of the studies that show differences in weight gain/loss based on the different macro ratios and identical calorie counts? It would seem that unless every single study they used is faulty, then what you say about all calories being equal is not true. Please dont just cite more studies. Id rather be a lazy american and have them presented to me.

Mall- Thanks for that great summary. My interests lie more in working with people than the science behind it, and I have not delved into technical details as you have. I guess that makes me a pretty poor nerd. I do plan on checking out the gnolls series, because I haven't yet.

I'm happy to discuss things, but I'm not here to take insults from someone. One of the reasons I came on here is to learn more about the "fitness world's" perspective on nutrition and health. I can learn plenty without condescending comments from non-experts.

I'm going to leave it with this. I have studied nutrition and am formally studying it now, as well as fitness. There will always be a "Waldo" on the forums. Basically someone that is an enthusiast that got a little carried away with his own ideas, or the ideas he has studied. There will always be disagreements in fitness and nutrition, mainly because not everyone has the same goals. While there is no defined 100% right way to peak fitness, and peak nutrition, there are a lot of right ways. Anyone, like Waldo on the extreme end of the spectrum usually only has a partial message correct. I respect his knowledge and am not going to insult him, because it's petty and we are just trying to improve our knowledge. I can definitely see why there is a lot of turnover here, both because of the support eliminating the need for the forums, and the negativity turning people off. Nerds have taken a lot of abuse in life, and really are able to dish it out well on the internet. There are a lot of nutrition and fitness experts that have evidence both for and against the ideal diets. There are people way more informed than myself or Waldo that are releasing this information. To call someone stupid because experts have come up with different definitions of the right way to do things is pretty ridiculous. I plan on turning my knowledge and studies into a business in order to help people get healthier and fitter, and Waldo could definitely do the same. That was one of the reasons of me joining the nerdfitness movement, because of a new perspective, and new ideas to help me run my business. If Waldo was a little less abrasive, I could see him making a great living off one of his passions. I'm not here to pick a fight with Waldo, or challenge his authority or knowledge, but I will express my opinions, and my nutrition knowledge that I have learned from various world renowned experts.

Yeah, unfortunately it's not, but the reduction in foreign chemicals and poisons to the body is definitely a good thing.

You'll be reaping the benefits long term. It's expensive to perform a long term study to prove this, but i'm sure there are a few going on right now considering how quickly the organic, natural food market is growing. Although the obvious answer is that your food would be free of antibiotics compromising your immune system, extra hormones, and fewer pesticides. If that's how you are living now, than I find that admirable and very impressive.

I am not going to argue about this any further. I'm going to go eat my highly nutritious, organic, pesticide free dinner and reap the imaginary benefits. Good luck to you Waldo.

Find a study that shows that food quality matters.....Are you kidding me? That's a joke, right?

Well, I did my unofficial half marathon this weekend. Finished in 1:58:07! I also completed my side quests for the most part, although not 100% due to a work trip in Atlanta. In addition, I put together 2 4' by 12' raised bed gardens, which should be ready for planting by this weekend. A very productive 6 weeks for me.

Waldo- you crack me up with how absolute your knowledge is. CICO is not some end all authority on nutrition. Just as the amount and quality of your workout is important, so is the amount and quality of your food. You are in a minority in the nutrition community that believes in strict CICO

Hmmmm, I don't think I have a favorite book, but you can't beat bob's cheap laughs.

How long have you played magic? Started in 97ish, some long gaps, but I still play a few times a year now What format do you play? (Draft, standard, legacy, casual, etc.) Mix of Standard, and sealed deck tournament annually the night before a miniatures gaming convention Do you play competitively (play at a store weekly, i.e. FNM)?

Krark's Thumb- made a really fun coin flip deck that really pisses people off What deck are you currently playing the most with? I have my multiply damage mono red deck, and a black and blue opponent discard deck. I would like to play more, but of course there is only so much time in the day. I really only get in one solid day of magic in a year now.
