This is why I prefer to set a limit on a certain task and then plan the outcome. Example: I am doing the 9 week Bill Starr 5×5 routine. my innards tell me to go back to my normal upper/lower split but objectively I know this is the best thing I can be doing for my current goals.

and yes, sometimes we need to stay the hell away from the interwebz.

This is certainly a written reminder to myself as well!

I agree about the danger of mental masturbation over all this stuff. I find it fascinating, but there is an information overload. Doug McGuff in Body by SCience talks about training angst where we spend time worrying about how to train rather than just getting on with it. I am always flipping from routine to routine and while it is interestingly random, I think I need some consistency for a while

Good stuff

Folks often ask me lots of questions about nutrition because they always want ever more detail, ever more justification.

There are people who take the rough concepts–the precepts / proverbs–and learn through experience how to apply them in specific situations (the spirit of the law), and there are other people on the opposite end of the spectrum who need step-by-step instruction manuals on exactly what to eat every meal of every day.

I don’t know the answer, I say: “Nullius in Verba,” will help you find the way.

Life is about more than food. Find a yet-to-be-falsified story about your diet, live by it, and go enjoy living.

Best,

Brent
