Rant, what rant?

Any how, thanks for the response. I did look up some of the vegetables that you mention, mainly the ones I eat such as carrots, broccoli, peppers, spinach and mushrooms. To my surprise they all did not have that many carbs. I asked the question for two reasons because I kind of was already following a diet that is some what similar, at least in terms of the types of veggies and meats the diet recommends The key difference which is probably why I have not experienced the results that JP and others have is because I usually eat two servings of whole grain bread, one serving of beans and a serving of almonds mixed with peanuts and walnuts. Occasionally I will have a cheat meal that will have potatoes in the form of French fries. Other than that I don't eat potatoes or white bread.
I have three servings of fruit instead of the two the diet recommends which include strawberries in the morning an apple for lunch and a banana pre work-out. Then I eat tuna, salmon, chicken and peanut butter through out the day for protein. I have a post workout protein shake that consist of whey, orange juice and powdered Gatorade. Ok I forgot about the orange juice that would make 4 servings of fruit on work out days.

The second reason I asked is, you made the statement on the diet it's self that you would be getting plenty of carbs, but then in another post you called it a low carb diet. That confused me about what the definition of low carb meant. Then again I was confused about the carb content of veggies.

I have to admit, as my signature implies I have been one to bash low carb diets. I myself have never been on a low carb diet. I know people who are following them, as you pointed out these people apparently are not following them correctly. I say this because most of these people are not eating any veggies or fruits. I think it is nuts to call a diet healthy that do not contain fruits and vegetables.

I actually liked the diet that you have laid out and was not trying to criticize it. I'm considering following it. I have a little bit of fat on my mid section that I would like to get rid of. I was thinking that when I completed the Book of Muscle that I would follow Craig's Turbulence training and follow the diet you posted.
