Time to have fun

Lyle McDonald's website.

So I took your advice and started reading his website. I came across this line:

People often get frustrated with me because they will ask me a question and typically get an answer of 'It depends'.

This line is what sold me (seriosuly). That and the guy does sound like he's got real credentials (20 years of being obsessed with nutrition, diet, health, fitness, exercise, training). Especially since he's got a good attitude for learning:

Frankly, I am usually interested in what anybody has to say about training or nutrition because, odds are, they know something that I don't. Even if I disagree with them on 99% of what they have to say, the 1% that teaches me something new or useful is worth it.

So he's given himself the opportunity to hear every little tidbet of potential fact he can, and given himself the time to reject or accept the right ones. So I'll continue to read his stuff.

there is almost as much unproven and disproven dogma in the diet and fitness industry as there is in religion.

I think I can agree here, and I'm sure I'm a sucker for some of it too. Always trying to sift through the dogma and get to the real facts though.
