Post subject: Lyle's books - anyone read?
Archived from groups: misc>fitness>weights (more info?)

Lyle is a pretty prolific writer, and I'm interested in reading one of his
books. I'm not sure which one to start with though, he seems to have
several that touch on my goals of overall fat loss and muscle retention. As
a female who has been pretty diligent with diet and exercise for 6 months, I
seem to have hit a wall. The weight and fat came off pretty consistantly,
and then it just tapered off to a snail's pace. I still exercise 4 days a
week, and my calories are still below maintenance, but I'm at a plateau.
I've been looking at the books he has available, like the Rapid Fatloss
Handbook, and Ultimate Diet. If anyone has read one or both of these, could
you shed some light on which one may be most applicable to me? I'm not
looking for a quick fix, I don't care if it takes a year to get where I want
to be. I'm looking for a program or method I can apply to my life that will
just enhance or maximize my results. |

I've read 'em all. For me, Rapid Fat Loss Handbook (the PSMF diet book) was
an epiphany...greatly improving my health and simplifying the maintenance of
desired body weight. But, it sounds like you want a slower, more gradual
(for me, torturous) approach, so, "A Guide To Flexible Dieting" might be
more appropriate.
You could wander over to www.bodyrecomposition.com and read some of the
articles and browse around the forums go get a flavor of it all.
Don't tell Lyle the atheist Jew sent you, or he'll charge you double.

Sounds something of a rip-off to me, particularly as the system has
been around since 1972 and all he's done is plagiarise and revamp it!

lyle managed to jump on the atkins-style diet bandwagon 3-4 (or, was is
5-6?) years after this type of dieting started to come back after the
WBF/DiPasquale debacle in 1992. opitimum training systems started
pushing dipasquale's "anabolic diet" in their follow-up to serious
growth/bulgarian burst called serious growth 3: big beyond belief.
didn't he start out at like 174 with a high bf% and get down somewhere
into the 150's? i can't remember what his first posts were like, but
it seemed something like that.
either way, he was/is just another guy with a library card who managed
to repackage a diet and sell it as his own. >> Stay informed about: Lyle's books - anyone read? |

About 3 months ago, I would have definitely gone for the "rapid" approach.
But at this point, I'm settling more into the idea that this is a permanent
change in my way of life, that incorporates regular exercise and healthy
diet, forever. I'd like to improve my body composition as well, but my
chief goal now is fitness. >> Stay informed about: Lyle's books - anyone read? |

Unlike yourself, who doesn't have a library card and couldn't repackage a
Tonka toy.
Whatever you say about Lyle, he does do his research. So much, that he
reviews a research article every week on his e-mail weekly publication. And
he has read thousands of them as well. How many research reports have you
read?
And he fields questions from people as well. And answers them on weekly
newsletter. And his knowldge is such, that he is able to talk to the top
trainers in the country as an equal. They all know who he is. Does anybody
know who you are? >> Stay informed about: Lyle's books - anyone read? |

I have the same goal, but have figured out a way to do it that "works" for
me. I hate...no, HATE!!!!...maintenance or slightly below maintenance
eating. It is sheer torture for me. So, using periodic PSMF diets...as often
and for as long as necessary...I fluctuate between as lean as I want to be
and as fat as I'm willing to tolerate.
My diet on a PSMF is relatively healthy due to a shitload of supplements to
replace all the good stuff in carbs, and my diet off PSMF is as healthy as I
want it to be, with no specific caloric restrictions.
It works for me.
Your's, or anyone else's, results may vary.

I hadn't thought of that aspect before, but you are correct. Cyclic eating
certainly mimics our evolutionary patterns.

You make a good point.
I was smart enough to leave. Then I came back.
And now I do more than lurk ... I post sometimes. Which has got to be
a bad sign regarding my state of mental health.
Well ... at least I rarely post anything useful. There must be hope
for me yet. >> Stay informed about: Lyle's books - anyone read? |

Like any good scientist Lyle builds on the works of others. That is what
science is all about. He gives full credit to the Bodyopus diet and uses
references in his book.
