Dec 24, 2009 - @zahmac01 Would it be more convincing, if it was more complex? When it comes to the macronutrients (protein, carbohydrate, and fat), it typically does boil down to number/percent of calories provided by each. The kind of fat or carb may sometimes come into play as well, but it does often boil down to numbers. This approach is supported in the scientific literature.

Mentat1231 Says:

Jan 1, 2010 - @independent1971 "Normal food"? What's that? Diet is a much more significant factor in body fat, as well as overall health, than physical activity.

independent1971 Says:

Jan 1, 2010 - i wouldnt say more significant, physical activity is probably much more important. you can eat mcdonalds every other day and as long as you exercise enough to keep the crud from clogging your arteries then you will be fine. yea a healthy diet is important but its not like you have to eat strictly fat free foods or by cutting out carbs (which is a very bad idea by the way) and you can still stay healthy.

Mentat1231 Says:

Jan 1, 2010 - @independent1971 1) "Clogged" arteries aren't the issue. Eating high-fat, high-cholesterol, and low-fiber foods build up plaques on the arterial wall. These eventually burst, and that is what causes heart attacks. No amount of exercise has any effect on this. 2) You are right about cutting our carbs, it is a very bad idea. 3) Exercise is very important. But, using it as an excuse for unhealthy eating, is like saying you can smoke as long as you run enough to strengthen your lungs!

Jan 1, 2010 - yea but you can just eat healthy and expect to be healthy, thats the point im getting at. someone who eats healthier than someone else could be in worse condition because they dont exercise properly.

Jan 2, 2010 - @independent1971 Dr. Esselstyn reversed heart disease and cured his patients but did not use any exercise as a condition of the experiements. His science is clear: it is 10% or less of fat and 10% of protein or less that is the critical item to remain healthy, not exercise. Athletes drop dead of having clogged arteries.

Jan 2, 2010 - @harold333100 ok well you eat all the healthy food you want and i will go eat a bacon biscuit and we will go run and see who passes out first, then we will see whos in better condition

Jan 21, 2010 - 2 divided by 245 is 0.008, NOT 0.8. Lost his credibility at the beginning and I am not buying the rest.

charlz108 Says:

Jan 22, 2010 - @ministar91 he stated .8% which is entirely correct. multiply .008 by 100 to express it as a percentage.

Feb 5, 2010 - The grams of things is all you need on there. Asking for the % is dumb, you can't count calories by % or you'll eat thousands more calories than you need and not even be able to know.

StemCellWarrior Says:

Feb 5, 2010 - If you do not balance that with foods to help keep you cleaned up, that bacon biscuit will come back to bite you in the butt. It is also very important to ask where did that pork came from and how much crap is in the biscuit, like enriched flour, which is white and probably bleached. The body can work to get it out but after a while it starts to reject it, thus making you sick. And that is just the beginning of what is in the food and how it is processed.

explorer2101 Says:

Mar 9, 2010 - @ministar91 2 divided by 245 is 0.008 times 100 = 0.8% It's how you work out percentages. He is not the only guy to be pointing this out. I've been reading the same details issued from nutritionists & other health experts for the last 15 years. You may not buy it but it is accurate information.
