Preface

Take a second before reading this book and think about all the diets you have

heard about and read about in recent years. Each diet had its own little hook that
made it stand out, and each diet had thousands of loyal followers that swore that
their diet was the only one that worked.

Now consider the real-world evidence that is right before your eyes. Every day you see
hundreds of people, all with different body shapes and all following different diets.

I will use professional bodybuilding as an example. Imagine two groups of
bodybuilders ready to step on stage at the highest level of competition; their veins
popping out everywhere, with tanned, oiled skin, and almost nonexistent body fat.

The first group consists of bodybuilders from the 1950’s and 1960’s. These
bodybuilders were able to get into phenomenal shape using diets that were low in fat,
high in carbohydrates with moderate amounts of protein. The second group consists
of bodybuilders from the 1990’s and beyond. They got into phenomenal shape using
very different diets that consist of moderate amounts of fat, low carbohydrates, and

very high amounts of protein.
