I guess thats my point though. A number of people on this thread have discussed changing the nutritional basis because whats in there doesnt match what they think it should be. Noone seems to be considering the fact that Chad may have intentionally given nutritional guidelines that dont match standard ones because he's found that over the course of the program those changes give the results he's promising. That if so, changing from his recommendations may well mean you dont get the same results you could if you had followed them.
I havnt read the program, it just seems like a fad to take a program written by someone with years of training experience, hundreds of clients, and proven results, and willy nilly make changes because you think you know better.
I'm not talking about changes because of injuries, equipment, or personal needs, but basic 'I dont agree, I'll do it differently' type changes. I guess I always cringe a bit when I see posts like this one:

Hey guys, new here and thought I'd try this program as well. Wondering if anyone is making changes to it from a training or nutrition perspective.

Thats someone paying for a program from a respected and experienced professional and then planning to make changes to it based on suggestions by strangers on a forum.
Personally, I just think that for only 12 weeks, if you think the programs worth doing, then within reasonable parameters (as mentioned above, things like injury or equipment neccesitate changes) most people would be best off trusting the program and following it as closely as possible.
No offence to anyone, I'm sure there are people here more than capable of making sensible changes based on their needs, it just seemed in this thread that a lot of people jumped straight to 'how will I change it' rather than just try it as is. Offering folks another option
