one note however that I keep stressing is he does not give ratios for proteins or fats...just make proteins your mainstay and fats moderate....I have found over the last week or two that I need at least 65 grams of fat to get weight moving..I am still playing with the program interms of diet and exercise...but what seems to be working for me is 5-8 % carbs, 25% protein and 65% fats. I am eating about 75-125 gramsof carb per meal on the carb loads. This would seem to be closer to the bodybuilding plan, and I start to lose on this..if I change the ratios my weight goes up a pound or two. What this means is you may have to paly with the ratios to determine what works best for your body since it is so vague in this area.
