From what I have read unless you are seriously obese you can't lose weight and gain mass at the same time unless you are SUPER vigilant about your diet and even then it takes a long time. Faster to loose the weight then bulk.
Sure, the program is designed to help you gain muscle over fat when eating at a surplus. You're taking that to mean you shouldn't use it for anything but, and that's hardly the case. I think they would have been much better off to just call them "Phase 1, 2, 3" etc because far too many people get hung up on the terminology even when they think they aren't.

Do whatever you want, noone is stopping you, but seriously your ADD is gonna wind up costing you at some point. Between that and this crazy "FasterFASTERMoreMORE" thing you have going on (hey, if 1000 isn't working for you and you want more than 500, did you know there's numbers in between?) you're gonna be dissatisfied with anything and everything you try.

And just because a bit of old information in a book is found to be wrong doesn't make the whole thing crap. Granted, there's absolute shit out there, but NR isn't, regardless of the validity of the whole EPOC thing. To discount everything does you a huge disservice. Better to actually use a sifter and begin to understand what you're doing and why, have good purpose and goals, and find out what works to bring them closer. And it's very hard to know what works in a week. or even 2.
