I love Georges St-Pierre. But his repeated promotion of extreme dietary methods is troubling (Paul Saladino influence). My man.. you lost 7lbs because you didn't fugging eat for 3 days.. it's not a "hack" or "trick" it's starving.

The worst argument against eating an entire category of food is "it isn't required for life." I don't know about you, but I would venture to say that most people's goals go beyond "not dying." We can live without a lot of things. That doesn't make it optimal.

@DoctorTro calories still count.. even if you don't count them. And if your weight is not coming off, you are eating too manybof them.. and in this case, counting them makes sense and is not, in fact, "shitty advice".
