I currently on a high protein, low fat diet and I only eat the good carbs.
If you are very consistent, workout every single day, eat mostly veggies and fruits (none of the other stuff or just eat it sparingly), and stay determined...You can lose it in 3-4 weeks.
One time I lost 10 lbs. in 2 weeks. But I was eating nothing more than salads, fruits, juice, and water. And I was working out 2 times a day (early morning before the sun came up and in the evening right before the sun went down). It was grueling, but I did it. I had to, to get into Active duty in the Army back in 1996, when I switched from Reserves to Active.
That sounds like a lot of protein. Although you can get that from eating rbgh/hormone free meat, it will get expensive. If it's not clean meat, it seems like you are introducing a lot of toxins into your body.
What about pinto beans? quinoa?
1 gram is overdoing it. Kidney health issues are even more expensive than the meat!
"Ideally, you should consume 0.36 grams of protein for every pound of body weight, according to recommended daily allowances (RDA) set by the Food and Nutrition Board"

That's the same crap article you posted on another thread.
A 30 minute podcast by a nutritionist and gym rat that cites studies that show not all people need the same amount of protein.
Its not crap. Its just more info that you were aware of. Not everyone needs that level of protein and it can be harmful to overdo protein. Not to mention expensive or counter productive.

Why are you talking about two different articles? The one from WebMD is certifiable garbage and the one I originally commented on. As for this "anabolic continuum" thing, I'm not sure about the science behind it, but I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest it's probably bunk based on the following facts.
1. John Barban and Brad Pilon, two of the most clueless blowhards in the industry, are pushing it.
2. Running "Anabolic Continuum" through Google brings up alot of Barban's and Pilons pieces, and not much else.
3. I ran this through the search engine of the bodybuilding/powerlifting/athletics forum I post on and there was not one single mention of it anywhere on the site, one which is largely regarded as one of the best around.
Or how about we just take a look at the authors themselves?
So basically you are calling a certified nutritionist and a doctor full of it based on one picture where a guy's arms are not picture perfect? LOL
My guess is that you did not even read the studies mentioned or listen to the thing. Because if you did you would of had the cold hard FACTS from studies, that people respond different to training and diet.
And then you insult someones arms when you don't even know what they are doing at that current state? Any big guy I ever knew gets softer as soon as they stop lifting. Now do you think a guy that just had a baby may be time compromised? Because I think he might. Also you did not listen to it because it was gone over in the podcast how it is something discussed in science and NOT the same re-hashed parroted non-tailored info discussed in the fitness world.
Your "facts" are nothing more than bloated opinions. Are you jealous of brad's abs? Or that JB has a cushy job designing supplements?
Looking around with your own eyes...If you think everyone responds the same to ANYTHING with exercise and diet you greatly lack experience with diversity.
If your trying to make it last and not just loose water weight they say you can't really loose more then 2lbs/wk. Of course many prefer to just starve themselves, loose tons of water weight and then put it back on and then some.

Bosco, you are a pretty level headed guy. I am puzzled by your ad hominem attacks. Both of the individuals you posted videos of seem to be muscular and certainly not fat.
How does posting photos/videos of them in any way discredit their argument?
What specific pieces of evidence or argumentation do you object to?
"Nice arms buddy" with a sarcastic roll of the eyes is not a valid argument.
I am willing to hear out different positions as long as they are validly argued.

One thing I've noticed: when you eat a lot of meat and a lot of cheese, you smell worse.
A couple of my friends are avid weightlifters. Quite frankly, on a hot day, they smell like a**. I've even joked with them about it on occasion.
I mean seriously, they reek. It's not because they don't shower or use cologne. It's all the nastiness of the "food" they're eating being excreted out from their skin.
I noticed this with MYSELF even. And I'm not a big person.
Your body odor changes (obviously for the better) for the positive when you eat clean food.
If you are an avid meat and cheese eater, and you go out on a hot, sweltery day, chances are you are stinking it up.
