It's been widely known that Alwyn's used the SFP cardio and credited Lyle in the past-- just that now it seems to have changed since he's decided to rename it.
Without debating whether or not it's true in this case, isn't that pretty much what ALL fitness professionals do? How long to you own knowledge before you can name it? South Beach Diet is just a modified version of Atkins, which is a variation on the Body Opus program. They are all based on the same concept. Once you add a little variation, it eventually morphs into something else.

Very little is new under the sun... someone is always starting where someone else left off. Mike Roussell is a VERY well educated young man, and based on what I've heard out of him, I'd put him up against any nutrtionists out there. He's not out there stealing ideas... He's got his own credentials.

If two people tell you low carb and interval training work for fat loss, who's the theif? What if they are both basing their statements on the same scientific research, or what if they came to the same conclusion independently?

Newton and Leibniz both created calculus independently of each other. Was one necessarily a thief? If the laws of science and math are universal, why does only one person get to be right?

Ironically Newton and Liebniz had a famous feud throughout their entire adults lives. Guess things don't change all that much.
