A few comments:
I have great genetics for staying lean, and can eat whatever I want and HOWEVER MUCH I want and stay at my current level of body fat. I was the second child my mother had and at 5'3 she only exceeded 100 pounds after I was born. Before that she had never been 100 pounds in her life. My sisters have never looked at a treadmill in their lives or watch their diets and have no significant body fat levels. My older sister has a better metabolism than my younger sister and I because hers is efficient at burning fat but also at preserving muscle. I'm not so lucky, I burn muscle very fast. I found that using TA's principles, I dropped over 20 pounds with no noticeable improvements in definition. I did lose weight restricting calories, but that weight being muscle and fat. It's funny I can post pictures of tons of my relatives who prove that my metabolism and body type does not fall into this average that Team TA suggests it does.
For all of those who used the TA principles with success - congratulations. They didn't work for me. What part of that don't you understand?
Lastly, I can post anything from blood work to body fat analysis test results to pictures and anything in between proving that the conventional bodybuilding diet has worked better for me than TA's principles and Team TA would STILL deny it. Unlike TA, I have ALWAYS proven my claims when it comes to my maximum lifts, education, nutrition program results and anything else. TA on the other hand said he would post McDonald's receipts and he didn't, he said he deadlifted 225 for 112 reps with no proof and he said he had a degree in physics and has posted nothing. Yet we are to believe him?
