MuscleMag insults McDonald/Ketogenic diets...

[MASSIVEmorris]

In the newest (July) issue of MuscleMag...they have an article over ketogenic dieting. They go into detail about how it doesn't work and insult Lyle McDonald numerous times. I found it to be quite amusing (this coming from Muscle-Tech touting pieces of shit) ...it's an interesting read. Check it out.


F.Y.I. I did not buy the magazine...just read the article at Barnes and Noble...no way am I paying $6.99 for that piece of shit. Just wanted to make it clear I did not buy a MuscleMag.

While I detest the keto diet cult, I take issue with them insulting Lyle McDonald like that. Lyle McDonald sees keto diets as one option out of many. He is the ultimate source of rational thought on keto diets and he admits the positives and the negatives. In fact, I have seen him almost put-down keto diets. If you read what he posts on message boards, you will notice that he in no way favors keto diets over other diets --- it is just what he built his name on.

Hardly.
because it would mean caring about:
a. Montana (guess he's still got his panties twisted cuz i made him my
bitch last year)
b. MMI (a crap magazine to begin with)
c. an obvious moron troll like you

In no particular order of course.

But I always find it amusing when folks like Montana take their little
personal beefs with me and use it as an excuse to write crappy articles
trying to tear me down.

Only a weak-ass little weasel would do something like that: write a
misrepresentative, biased article against me, without being honest
enough to admit that it's because they have a personal, private beef
with me.

Have a nice day, troll.

Lyle
Anyhow, I got laid finally so I'm much more mellow.
No, really
FUCK YOU!

Well, I can't speak for him but I think he has seen so many diets he doesn't favor anything at all. I think he simply favors what works. For some people, that would be a keto diet, and for others that would be another diet. He stated that he got his best results using an isocaloric diet with refeeds.

muscle mags constantly contradict themselves regarding training routines and diets. how else can they continue to publish mag after mag month after month year after year.

It's just the misc.fitness.weights newsgroup. Probably the easiest way for you to get there to to go to google. Click on the tab that says 'groups' Then click on 'misc'. Then 'misc.fitness' Then 'misc.fitness.weights' You're there. Welcome to MFW: the world of vitriol and vendetta.

Last I heard Lyle favors more of a cyclical isocaloric diet. I know he doesn't advocate ketogenic diets anymore as strongly as he feels they don't offer many unique benefits and are uneeded for most of us. He simply advocates choosing enough protein to spare muscle, enough EFA's to promote fat loss and then fill the rest with carbs. I think he was doing something like 55/25/20 or something(carbs/pro/fat). He isn't big on giving specifics as he doesn't think they make that much of a difference in the end so long as you fill the requirements listed above.
