The Wednesday Wellness threads are meant to encourage users to ask for and provide advice and motivation to improve their lives. It isn't intended as a 'containment thread' and any content which could go here could instead be posted in its own thread. You could post:
-
Requests for advice and / or encouragement. On basically any topic and for any scale of problem.
-
Updates to let us know how you are doing. This provides valuable feedback on past advice / encouragement and will hopefully make people feel a little more motivated to follow through. If you want to be reminded to post your update, see the post titled 'update reminders', below.
-
Advice. This can be in response to a request for advice or just something that you think could be generally useful for many people here.
-
Encouragement. Probably best directed at specific users, but if you feel like just encouraging people in general I don't think anyone is going to object. I don't think I really need to say this, but just to be clear; encouragement should have a generally positive tone and not shame people (if people feel that shame might be an effective tool for motivating people, please discuss this so we can form a group consensus on how to use it rather than just trying it).
Jump in the discussion.

Notes -
I'm always up for a good fad diet!
That said, my first instinct is to not to trust a guy who weighs 230 pounds with 32% BF. Especially when the same guy also lost weight on a croissant diet (that apparently didn't stick).
If he sticks with it for a year and gets down to 15% BF, I'd love to hear more about it. In the mean time, Penn Jillette's potato diet has much better results.
if any diet worked it would be common knowledge. we would not need to be berated about it (like with keto), nor would there need to be huge discussion and communities around it (more discussion generally means less effective). The problem with the potato diet is it's hard to stick with it...people become ravenous for non-potato foods even if stuffed with potatoes. Also, it has to be plain pototatoes..no mashed, fries ,etc.
He's way fat.. if someone espouses diet advice but cannot apply the diet themselves to not be fat, loses credibility in my book, but I think he has some good info anyway .
