Why the hate? I check t-nation on a regular basis and I have to agree, most of the time the articles aren't what you'd expect to be exact quality. But there are those little articles and tips, that just work. This is a great example of one. If you're interested in fat loss, why not try it out and then judge? People judge and critize before they put the ideas into work, that's why the sports forums in general are filled with "experts" who can't show you the results, but definitely know how to critize.

I understand your point, but if you don't like it, don't read it :-)
