Lyle McDonald
AC: Hi Lyle, Thank you for the interview. Let's get right to it. I've known you
and spoke to you for a few years now. You might just be one of the most anal
guys I've ever met when it comes to nutrition and training. Honestly - why is
that? What drives you?
LM: I just have somewhat of a classic addictive/obsessive compulsive personality, I
realized this fairly early in life; whatever I get interested in, I want to know everything
about it. I go to sleep thinking about it, I wake up thinking about it. You've read
some of my "Gee, I wonder" questions and we've discussed them in email, you know
how bad it gets. I became fascinated with training in my teens and this intensified in
college; as an athlete who was mediocre at best, I wanted to find better way to train,
to eat, I devoured everything I could find. As I became more research oriented, and
this came out of actually looking into the claims being made for a lot of stuff, it just
got worse. I've been obsessed with fat loss since my teens, most likely as a
consequence of having been chunky as a kid. Basically, like so many, most of my
drive is to fix myself; that I've managed to turn it into a career is just a bonus.
AC: Lyle you are probably best known in the industry for your diet books,
Ultimate Diet 2.0, Rapid Fat Loss, Flexible dieting and the Ketogenic diet. Now
these are more for the extreme dieter. Are there any "laws" or underlying rules
that you observe when designing diet programs for the general client?
LM: Absolutely and quite in fact, for general dieting purposes, I try to get people
focusing on the important principles and not worrying so much about the minutiae.
It's like your approach to training, people get hung up in miniscule details over tempo
or rest intervals and tend to miss the big picture. Same with dieting. In my mind, a
proper fat loss diet needs to a) be below maintenance intake (anybody who tells you
that you can lose fat without eating less is bullshitting you) b) provide adequate
protein c) provide the essential fatty acids. Those are the fundamental principles,
just about everything else from carb intake (whether high or zero) to meal frequency
to whatever detail you can name, depends on the circumstances. Most importantly,
the best diet is the one that someone will stick to. Issues of adherence, food
preferences, etc. are just as important as purely physiological requirements. There
are too many variables but as long as you get those three fundamentals correct, you
are ahead of the game.
