For Bast and others:
the reason it didn't work for me was that, even if you say it is, it wasn't practical.
If say I was to eat 1800 calories a day "eating anything I wanted", it would amount to one value meal at mcdonalds plus 200 calories. So it'd be one meal a day plus a quarter of a chicken breast. 1800 calories a day would be a lot better spent on say 6 chicken breasts (don't quote me on these, i'm just using them as an example) and 5 slices of bread or whatever it came down to.
On the adonis diet, i'd get maybe 40 grams of protein a day. With chicken breasts, i get over 200 without the trans fats. Hmm, seems like an obvious choice.
Now if we're to ignore the last 50 years of " bodybuilding science", which he seems to be doing, i wouldn't need more than 40 grams of protein a day. But that's kinda silly.
When I asked him about insulin release that comes with his eat anything diet, he never responded. I thought it was a pretty important point to clarify.
After speaking with a couple "bros in the know" about bodybuilding diets, here's what they had to say:
a. Adonis claimed he could get down to 4 percent bodyfat over 6 months ago. He never did. Here's why (answer from the other bro)
b. his body got used to however he's feeding it now. since he dieted with a calorie deficit to begin with, his body's bouncing back now (starvation mode). He's probably losing muscle and gaining fat as we speak. He'll never get to 4 percent unless he starts a "bodybuilding diet".
And finally, Bast, you're carrying more muscle and less bodyfat on your horribly disfigured frame than Adonis. Why would you listen to someone who looks worse than you?
