Thanks for all the links Alcoholiday. Lots of good information for sure. What I don't see on Lyle's site or refrenced by Alan is that any of the resources or studies are done with siq lean people. I've yet to run across an actual real study done on bbers in a contest state. Furthermore people on Lyles board giving their personal experience are typically young males who have never been super lean OR who happen to be at the state in their lives where it is almost impossible to not get super lean and gain strength following ANY sort of diet.

Do you guys know if these studies exist anywhere on really sick lean versus not people? Somehow I think things change the game slightly but perhaps significantly. I am interested in digging a bit more on this just for grins.
