It's really too bad they put those in the first book. They really throw people off. The calculations are good, but some people can't handle the math.


My reaction to the book was, "OMG, I need an advanced degree in algebra to figure this out!"

I really liked the basic principles and the scientific explanations, so based on what I COULD figure out from the book and some other nutritional facts I know, I came up with my own numbers (120g protein, no more than 30g carbs) and it seems to be working.

I really wish that part of the book made more sense though!
