I disagree with some of the things you say here (which is OK ). So I thought I’d share it with you and the blog readers:

- You seem to imply that dietary cholesterol is bad. I disagree with that, and challenge anybody to find research papers that link dietary cholesterol with blood cholesterol without accidentally finding many times more articles that state that there is no relationship. (Wow, it seems I’m in the challenging mood today ). I have eaten two eggs per day most of my live and I’m a meat eater and my cholesterol is plain low.

You’ll probably like to know about the existence of “The International Network of Cholesterol Skeptics” (www.thincs.org)

- Also you talk about using soy as a protein source. I personally run away from soy and treat it just like sugar (meaning that I consider it an unhealthy food and that I don’t put it anywhere near my mouth).

- But, I agree with you about avoiding processed food. I think that some times we spend more time arguing about protein/fat/carbs ratios and forget that even more important than that is to avoid processed foods and drinks like the pest.

- And, most importantly, I agree with the main point of your post. We gotta eat protein for muscle growth and weight loss.

Remember Chad Waterbury cite:

“The problem with diet advice is that there’s really nothing new to say. We coaches know what works, and there’s only so many ways we can dress up that pig long enough to hold your attention. I mean, come on, how many different ways can you tell someone to cut carbs, eat more vegetables, and add more protein?”
