To those who are trying to figure out their diet...

I have been reading some of the threads regarding weight loss and diet and I offer this article to those looking to change their current way of eating.

The Dirt on Clean Eating

(and the author even said to please forgive the protein powder product plug in the article)

Most of his sources came from the same institute that said pizza is a vegatable.

Most of his sources came from the same institute that said pizza is a vegatable.

When it comes to vitamin composition, there is no difference between a bowl of cooked vegetables and vegetables on a pizza. Pizza can be a very good food for people trying to increase their muscle mass. Depending on how it is made and what is on it, it can be composed of complex carbohydrates, vegetables, proteins and healthy fats (which a necessity for a balanced diet, and for testosterone production). Considering the site is "wannabebig.com," I can understand why they may recommend getting your vegetable consumption from pizza.

As for the article itself, I haven't had an opportunity to read it over completely to evaluate the content. But it is important for everyone to research any information you read and to check out the sources of any article you come across. There is a lot of false information out there based on something referred to as "bro-science."

*** bro-science: Information that is incorrect, but is accepted as fact by the general fitness community because of the frequency in which the information is presented as fact. (We see this in the reptile community as well with various issues)

Regardless, do you disagree with any of his points?

Even though this was on "Wanna be big" this article was done by Alan Aragon and if you knew anything about him he is as anti "bro" as they come.

I do not disagree based on the sources he stated. I read the article earlier and dont really recall many of the main facts so I wont put together a post on it. One part I do remember that I thought he left out a lot of valuable information on was "carbs have a bad rap". In fact, it is misleading because carbs are in fruits and veggies. Overall I would take this article as someone pushing his own affiliate product to make money.

I'm not familiar with him.. I did read over the article over the last hour or so and a lot of what he wrote contained solid info. It's important to remember that it is geared more towards the bodybuilding community however there is some great info for everyone in there. I am a firm believer in cheat meals and moderate "dirty eating." Your body can only maintain a healthy catabolic state for so long before you start doing muscle tissue and organ damage.

My only criticism with this article is that it is written for people who are knowledgeable and familiar with basic and intermediate nutritional terminology. Someone with no background or experience in this field would be completely lost. I even found myself having to do some research to understand some points.

It is a good read though, thanks for sharing!

How can argue against an article that you don't remember..
