It is not something I just made up. It is a book I have been reading called
"The Princeton Plan". It is more of an alternating carbohydrates and
proteins, so your body doesn't adjust. I have learned a lot from the book.
It is not as extreme as the Atkins plan. I am convinced that your body
adjusts rather quickly. I am amazed how people underestimate the power of
their bodies to adapt.

Everyone is different. I can eat more than most people because I exercise
so much. I do see people that don't eat much at all. I think they are
stuck, due to their bodies adjusting to low food intake. I don't think
there is anyway that I will change my mind about this. It is just how I see
it after reading all kinds of books and trying things for myself.

Oh, I didn't think so....this is commonly reported....but I still don't
totally buy it. I think in certain instances there may be merit it to.

Well, see, that's your opinion. If I keep exercising and not eating much, my
body will adapt by using bodyfat stores, not just by lowering metabolism. I
don't see how I can seriously lower my metabolism if I'm using my muscles
and getting adequate rest for recovery. And this notion about permenantly
lowering it needs some serious attention before outright acceptance.

Well, the reason I asked is simply because what may seem like a lot to you
may not seem like a lot to me. I'm still at 245 lbs. And I exercise a lot,
too. But then again, what is a lot? :)

I'm not trying to change your mind, Curt. However, I will question the
metabolism crash thing.
