That's what I like about NSNG, as long as you follow the simple rules of no sugar and no grains, you don't even need calorie count. The first or second sentence says its specifically to just stop over eating. They even emphasize that you cant outrun your mouth, so dont try to sneak food if you plan to workout more. Its incredibly hard to run off a pack off M&Ms

Then you can get deeper and try ketosis and stuff, but that's for the hardcore types

If it works for you that's cool. I like chocolate and pizza and beer too much to follow a diet like that. So for that reason I prefer to just weigh myself often, train 5 times a week and keep my body fat low.

Eh, todays humans eat way too much sugar and carbs, cutting some of it will be a good thing. Drink something sweet every other day or so. Have less pasta or rice or bread, add a bit more veggies and maybe meat. Maybe you dont need that dessert.

It might be a good thing, but if you take it to mean you shouldn't eat good carbs or fruits and it doesn't solve the overall problem of overeating, it's not going to fix anything.

That's my problem with the maxims. There's plenty of people in absolutely terrible shape who have made themselves completely miserable by cutting out sugar and still not resolving the underlying issue.

(that said I take your point: eat less of that, eat more of this. That's a good way to be.)

The biggest thing about sugar and carbs is the insulin response.

Generally more sugar and carbs leads to a higher insulin response that leads to craving that leads to more eating that leads to more insulin that leads to overeating

Different bodies different results but that's a general response

Yes and that's a fine point, but if you reflexively cut out all sugars and nearly all carbs without understanding why, you might ignore the overall purpose of it (to not overeat) and get a bit jaded with dieting in general.

So if you continue to overeat despite cutting out all sugar, and you continue to put on weight, no wonder people like that give up on diets. "It doesn't work and I'm not having any fun".

I often get asked what diet I'm on.

I just try not to overindulge in food that I know is crap and do plenty of exercise. I don't follow any particular rules.

But then you get people I work with who are surprised that I eat carbs or whatever. Why wouldn't I?

I don't wish to be mean towards anyone but I have to bite my tongue when someone makes a quip about my "metabolism", e.g. "you're lucky you have hollow legs". The same people tend to have all sorts of maxims for health, usually around sugar or carbs, but ignore the general principles around how much they eat or exercise. The same people also tend to be in pretty terrible shape.

My absolute favourite though is the really out of shape guy at my work who wanted to argue about the malnutrition of vegan diets while he was chowing down a literal twinkie. I mean enjoy the twinkie all you like but since when did you start caring about your nutrition, Steve. I've literally never seen anything green at your desk.

Yeah man, I hate how many misinformed people think they need to avoid carbs if not cut them out altogether. Carbs are the largest part of my diet (42%), and "fit" would probably be a very good way to describe my physique. I'm not "jacked," but you can tell I live a healthy lifestyle.

Like I'm all for simple maxims but not if you ignore the fundamentals in pursuit of it. You see this in the fitness world a lot. An excessive preoccupation about the most optimal protein powder from people who don't squat.

To believe in something it requires having some kind of substantial form I can relate to. And that leads me to religion, which is dogmatic and stupid and based on books that presumably insane people wrote thousands of years ago.

So I'm open to the idea of some kind of spiritual whatever, but since that idea is so abstract I can't believe in it.

Mike Israetel, if you know who that is:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYeZVfPxwKM

TL;DW

  1. science is the sum of the evidence and deals in likelihoods. So what is likely the healthy eating options more of the time, rather than definitively the absolute healthy options. You can find any single study that says milk or butter or sugar is evil or incredible and that's interesting, but it still needs to be held in the context of the rest of the evidence.
  2. Important nutritional factors in order of importance and diminishing in returns are: Calories >>>>> Good sources of food >>> Macros >> Meal Timing > Supplements and hydration
  3. Calories and maintaining a healthy weight is absolutely the most important part of any diet, as long as you account for the variance in what a healthy weight is
  4. Eating good sources of food that are high in quality nutrients is next most important. So lean proteins, healthy fats, plenty of legumes and fruits and whole grains.
  5. Macros are important but in reality you can get sufficient protein/fat/carbs in the first 30% of your calories, leaving you plenty of wiggle room for anything. It's been shown time and time again that high protein, high fat, vegan - all of these diet models work and produce very healthy people provided the diet has sufficient calories and is not extreme in how it excludes important food groups (e.g. fruitarians)
  6. The rest of the stuff just isn't very important. Meal timing works differently for different people (eg. intermittent fasting vs 8 meals a day) so there are no hard and fast rules, the vast majority of supplements are ineffectual and unnecessary (a multivitamin and some fish oil might be helpful or some). Hydration is self-regulating.


TL:DR - eat a balanced diet of healthy foods and watch your weight and you're good

WODs are silly; the same workout (and the same weight of resistance or same # of reps) for everyone is bollocks. One should want periodization and progression.

Poor technique is rewarded because it's a social, competitive, timed environment which often leads to injury.

Price tag is hilariously high.

Sure, it's good fitness insomuch that it's cardio and lifting. If you stick well with anything and kept at it, you'll see improvement. This can be done in a standard gym with a basic ass routine of full body lifting 3x a week and cardio on off days.

I don't think you're wrong here but I think it's dependant on the particular crossfit coach/gym you get to. I think crossfit provides a pretty good community approach which motivates a lot of people.

Is any other fitness activity that isn't sport-specific doing as much for overall fitness and health?

Like, you have powerlifters who need to wait another 7 minutes to shift something more than 3 times, bodybuilders who can't run a mile without gassing out, strongmen who shit themselves and die of heart attacks at 40, cyclists who have the upper body strength of pensioners, instagram thots who only train one muscle group and never eat enough

Then you have people who just go to the gym and just fuck around on the treadmill for 30 minutes and never get anywhere

Gotta say, crossfit people are generally quite impressive in overall fitness. They lift heavy, they do shitloads of cardio, they train plyometrics, balance, conditioning, aerobic and anarobic. And like, the rhabdo thing seems pretty overblown.

It's easy to laugh at their fucking weird pullups but then again all the crossfit people I know in real life have made the most dramatic physical changes in the time they've been doing it.

Clearly bullshit according to what though? Assuming the law allows an exemption for a medical reason, and a physician gave him a medical exemption, what right do border patrol have to ignore this? And for what reason did they ignore this?

Because they are usually "loose" during a crash
Since their body doesn't stiffen up and kinda just goes with whatever's happening they are less likely to be hurt

I've heard this before, but is it actually true?

Like if I squint it seems to make some sense, but on the other hand, the forces involved are so extreme that I'm inclined to think it's more to do with the directional force/impact of the crash.

Like, being floppy in your seat isn't going to save you if your car's engine goes through your face at 100 miles an hour.

Equally, whether you're floppy or you tense real hard, it isn't going to change what direction your body moves when you go from 100 to 0 instantly.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


Can I add to this, my father had a stroke recently. He nearly died, it was severe. Guess what quality of care he received? Less than subpar. I mean he went entire weeks not getting physio. We weren't able to visit him for an entire week. My mother got to see him for 30 minutes a day. I went 2 months being unable to see him at all.

Why? Because hospitals are so choked up with covid patients that could have easily had a mild case but instead came in and stole an ICU bed and 6 nurses a piece that they're having to ignore everyone else. They had the actual fucking MILITARY in just to do porter duties.

So really people like this can go fuck themselves as far as I'm concerned. My dad is in a bed paralysed down his right side, 3 months behind on his recovery, because so many people think the pandemic is just a matter of whether they personally lose a game of russian roulette.

Joe Rogan surviving covid with no lasting complications despite being unvaxxed should not be given as evidence of "other avenues to take care of himself". The guy was extremely low risk to begin with.

It's likely that his "another avenue" did fuck all to help. Maybe being in extremely top physical shape and generally just being one of the people who had no problems was the reason.
