My Daily Diet Tips

[NJRipped]

SC

Don't take things so literally. lol Did you notice the smiley face? Do you really believe that I think I'm the only one on this planet who is able to do this or who has done this? Now, back to my diet tips.

Sorry, but that's a loaded statement if I've ever read one!! I have to raise the huge bullshit flag on this one.

This may come as a surprise to you, so brace yourself as the truth may hurt, but there are thousands who can control their eating right now, long before your precious book comes out.

You really took away from whatever credibility you had with that pompous statement. Perhaps you should read that over and over again to see just how idiotic that really sounds. You can ill-afford to utilize inclusion of such slippery-slope statements in your "best seller".

Back to your daily diet tips.

It's amazing how quickly this post grew and turned extremely negative...

NJ, I agree that breaking the addiction to junk is something a lot of people don't have the willpower to do. It's easy to slide back into it as soon as you work your way out. I think your thoughts about always eating clean will be inspirational to people as it has been to me. Full-out cheat days only forced me to take a step backward unless I had been on a strict calorie deficit for the week. However, being a social person, I simply cannot avoid all processed food 365 days/year.

I guess my point is, perhaps people who buy the book and try to follow the plan may not succeed in being as strict about it as you are, but it may be a means of inspiration for them if nothing else. A lot of the "diet books" don't cover anything about breaking the addiction. I think EVERYONE that has responded to your post agrees that that's the core issue - breaking the addiction and gaining control. Different people are inspired by different things in different ways. Simply because you may think NJ's plan is ridiculous doesn't mean his approach is useless.

In addition, I was sort of thinking along the same lines as Velvett. I wasn't aware that you (NJ) had been very overweight for most of your life. It does make me wonder if food has been an obsession to both extremes for you. It seems that often times, people who lose tons of weight subscribe to ONE plan and fail to accept other ways of losing weight/being healthy/staying in shape. The people on the Atkins diet are notorious for that, as well as Dr. Phil's clan, and probably Jared from Subway (granted, he is getting paid a ton of money).

To conclude my essay, let's take off our blinders and realize that we're all extremists. When extremists are convinced of a "right way", there is no swaying them. Instead of getting angry because you don't agree, why not agree that if you're working to inspire someone to get off their ass and learn about nutrition and exercise (no matter the plan) that there is SOMETHING good coming out of it.

Sorry if this sounded like I'm trying to be a happy peacemaker or something, I just think the run-on post of everyone telling everyone else they're wrong is wearing itself out

That is because jkurz is the one making it negative. He acts like he knows it all. His stats alone prove he doesn't know squat.

Karma to you...you are absolutely correct....I'll refrain from any further postings on this thread and take my useless knowledge elese....afterall, being 62, 190, 6% benching over 3 plates for reps, squatting over 4, running a consitent sub 5:30 mile, should actually be ridiculed and I apologize.

NJ - please accept my apologies......I'm finished ruining your thread.

Wow... what grade are we in?

NJ, I don't know much about anything.....thats obvious, but as a person just glancing over many of your posts you seem to be a joke. Tear me up if you like, but every single one of your posts is packed with pats on the back for you, kudos to yourself, and then you throw in a halfassed theory.

Maybe if you came off a little less arrogant, or actually used more information/data to back any of it up it would help, but I doubt it. I know you can't go spouting your "crazy trade secrets" as you do have "the book" coming out and all, but seriously you have to give more than general half-assed attempts at improving on the "old eat healthy and live right statements"

Take this as you want to, but just because this works for you really means nothing. Anyone can come up with general info and a slight theory which they try to call their "own". I am sure you are the first, no person has ever tried to help people with addictions.

This post sounds amazingly negative and I didn't actually mean it to be that way so I will stop. Until you post up something remotely resembling "sound advice" that isn't plastered with a "oh man I am SO totally sweet" type vibe, I think I will get my advice from people that know more.

You will notice that most of the time those who know more are also the most humble sounding and most approachable. Where does that place you NJ?

My 2 cents

I only said this because when I first started reading your stuff I thought you were a big guy who I could learn from. I then started reading more of your posts and it seems you only want to agree on what YOU think is correct. You also use language. No need for that. I do agree I was slightly immateur. You do have some good ideas. I apologize if I offened you.

I must commend you for a very thoughtful post.

What else would you exect from someone of extraordinary intellect such as myself

It's true, I haven't broken down the macronutrients or timing of my diet. You're probably thinking - here he goes again, doesn't want to reveal his diet. In my opinion, most (not all) of timing/macronutrients theory doesn't come into play.

That's fine if you don't feel that the body doesn't process macronutriends more efficiently during certain times of the day , but I'm sure I could find some scientific evidence to refute that.

Do you think that I just happened to hit upon the perfect macronutrients and timing of my diet by accident? Or maybe I just have great genetics despite the fact that I was overweight almost all of my life.

I don't think either. I commend you on being able to lose your weight. You have never mention what weight you started at. But is your book designed for an obese audience trying to loose the weight you did or is this designed for people already with low bodyfats in an attempt at maintenance? One of my college friends was 5'7 and 140 3% (from the calipers) bodyfat and he never workedout or ran. He had asthma but you aren't making mention of anything about the state at which you start your diet, so I think your issues on this thread are flawed from the get go.

I've changed around the timing and macronutrients of each meal and take a guess as to what change occurred? None!

Eating quality unprocessed food is similar to intaking steroids - it will have an amazing effect. Why is this not known? Because no one has had the ability to strictly control their eating - until my book comes out.

I'm sure you have the ability by waving your magic wand to rid the world of its obesity problem.... I'll be waiting to see the end results of your immense literary prowess.

NJripped, i think ive seen better "diet tips" on late night tv by tony little.

It sounds as though NJ's book is going to be filled with basic food control information. While this information is probably too basic for most on Elite it may play well to the masses, the uninformed obese population. This ignorant population is where the money is. Dr. Phil, 6 second abs, etc are proof that you can get rich with an idea that "may" work for some.
