Old School No S Diet
Interesting article even if you aren't into bodybuilding:

Was this pre-potato chips, Fritos, Doritos, etc.? pretty Spartan. But interesting that it was 3 meals a day, even for a classic bodybuilder. People seem to think it has to take over their life. Sounds like it doesn't.

I liked the response to a comment about Steve Reeves eating habits:shorthouse3000 wrote: Just an example of how sticking to the basics can take you pretty far.
Bold italics mine.CPB wrote:We think the supplement companies are probably responsible for the greater promotion of the 5-6 meal plan since it provides greater opportunities for someone to have their protein drinks to substitute for one of those meals (in other words, it is better for sales).
I think the same could be said for just about any advice to eat more than three meals daily now, no matter the reason, including much medical advice. Eating more than three times daily affects the bottom line of many corporations, including those that have little to do with food (pharmaceuticals, for instance).
In the response to another comment CPB called the 1960s "the beginning of the dark ages of bodybuilding." The 1960s were probably also the beginning of the dark ages for diet and health, too. That's when all the (often conflicting) advice about diet and health started to be more popular. It existed several decades earlier, but wasn't as common or as believed.
Steve Reeves would be 87 now. I was just thinking about people I know or have known or have read about who are about that age or older. Most have never had many problems with weight and most have always eaten three meals a day. The meals vary widely from pretty light and simple to bigger, heavier meals. The basics can take you pretty far.

They just want to sell bars in addition to shakes! Why don't people see this?shorthouse3000 wrote:Even Slim Fast has gone from their traditional "a shake for breakfast, a shake for lunch, then a sensible dinner" to their new 3-2-1 system. So you're now buying 3 Slim Fast snack bars in addition to the 2 shakes every day.
There's the whole Special K line too. Can you imagine eating the entire Special K line all day, cereal, drinks, bars, crackers, cookies, then eating a "sensible dinner"? You would probably turn into a piece of cardboard.
I saw this earlier today and have added it to my signature:leafy_greens wrote:They just want to sell bars in addition to shakes!
