“Back in the 1970s, I ate a high-protein diet to get bigger and stronger. As a senior at Utah State, I weighed 218 pounds with eight percent body fat, and threw the discus over 190 feet. Then I got some advice from the people at the Olympic Training Center. I needed carbs, they advised, and lots of them. They pointed to studies done on the American distance runners. Being an idiot, I took the advice to eat like emaciated, over-trained sub-performers. It took years of high carbohydrate grazing to learn the evils of this advice.” PeopleYearsStatesDoneBodyEvilStudyFeetAdviceNeededTrainingPercentBiggerStrongerDistanceEightFatsIdiotDietsPoundsPerformersSeniorRunnersWorkoutProteinUtahDistance RunnerMotivational WorkoutCarbsCarbohydratesGrazingBody Fat Author:Dan John

No resources of talent and training in our own society, even including the medical care, is more wastefully or unfairly distributed than legal skills. Ninety percent of our lawyers serve 10 percent of our people.
