MariahSnow Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 As a recovering underpants collector, I have two great fears in my life: lack of work and unlimited internet access. Work is really slow right now because I'm waiting for data but I'm still required to be at work all day. So I end up surfing the internet, reading articles, checking Fitocracy, and I inevitably stumble across this: 10 Foods That are Much Healthier Than You ThinkWhat's the Best Way to Lose Fat? The key lies in *timing* your carb intake.Eat Frequently to Stoke the Metabolic FireIt Doesn't Matter When You Eat Food, As Long As You Meet Calorie/Macro Requirements Plus many, many, many more and conflicting things like the last two statements as well. How do y'all wade through all this nonsense? How do you tell whether something is really good advice or whether it's just marketing fluff? And look at that, my data just came in...

bigm141414 Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Trial and error mostly. Lots of research and reading of sources more reliable than "Top ten lists" But yeah, experimentation and logging of your own data are the best methods.

Frost of the Gloaming Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 I saw it on the internet it must be true I never read the top tens and I can't get into it right now but I always try to check the source of the articles that I do read Quote Between a rock and a hard place, use our finger nails to climb, it's all we know..........

Da_Nuke Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 These advice columns end up creating a jumbled puzzle of information that is horrifyingly difficult to piece together. You're better off reading 4chan's /fit/ sticky in my opinion, it's straightforward and much like a one stop source of general fitness information. I sometimes find myself re-reading it to review my fundamentals. Quote Link to comment

Uh, I was talking about the site linked by the sticky. This one is actually good, it's how I discovered Nerd Fitness, strength training and Stronglifts. Quote Link to comment
Juni0r83 Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 In all my years on the internets, not once have I ever seen this suggestion made. Uh, I was talking about the site linked by the sticky. This one is actually good, it's how I discovered Nerd Fitness, strength training and Stronglifts. I read this one the other day, and I must admit, it seems like a solid cross between the BB.com forum guidelines and the Nerd Fitness philosophies. Pretty decent mix actually, I was impressed, even more impressed once I started to actually read the conversations that occur on 4chan/fit...
