I would just like to point out that there are alot of different opinions from alot of different people doing alot of different things for alot of different goals in this thread all at the same time.

Just because someone swears by what they are doing, does not mean that it is right for the next person who may be seeking a different goal.

I bring this up because I had an email from a member asking about diet. He basically said he was following [member]'s diet and wasnt seeing the result he was after. The problem was the member whos diet he was following, was seeking different goals (bulking vs cutting).

I think some of us need to be more clear about our intentions with whatever workout or diet we are doing. Sure alot of the regulars know what eachother is after, but some of the not so regulars and new members dont.

By continually swearing by doing one thing without clearly specifying what your goals are, new members may pick up the wrong information.

For example, if a 135lb kid new to the whole thing who does 10 hour days of construction for a living was looking for advice on what to eat, and in the last 3 pages he saw alot of people talking about only eating 1500cals and no carbs once a day, he might not realize thats not the best route for him to take. Likewise if a larger guy who works in an office read that guys like Halo/me/berz eat 5000cals+ a day, that wouldnt be the right route for him either.
