The Cardio-Free Diet

The Fact-Free Diet.

One thing is for sure, when you ignore facts, many possibilities appear to open.

Jim Karas, is a Chicago-based person who has been hawking diet advice, and products you can buy from him, for a while. His only credentials appear to be "an ABC News correspondent, celebrity trainer and fitness expert."

The "fitness expert" part is from ABC News which does not say how he developed his expertise.

He also claims, without support, that he is an expert:

"For more than 20 years as a weight loss and fitness professional, I have been working with clients one-on-one and have been leading, teaching, and training a team of the best and the brightest physical trainers in New York and Chicago. We've been in the field, identifying cutting edge research, testing it, and then bringing the best of the best information and instruction to our clients."

To be more accurate, he appears to be a slow-learner:

"After 20 years of experience, I am convinced that cardio kills."

Slow-learning is not atypical of a moron.

His new thing is this Cardio-Free Diet that took him two decades to come up with.

"Exercise physiologist Richard Weil is not convinced. 'I'm flabbergasted, I'm astonished at what I'm reading. I genuinely believe he's deluding people and he's leading them to believe information that is really not factual. I believe that the book is dangerous.'"

I don't know Weil or if he knows anything else, but on this matter he appears right on.

Karas says, "It (cardio) kills your weight loss plan, your joints, your internal organs and immune system, your body composition..."

Weil says:

"That it kills your weight-loss plan is just completely contradictory to the evidence. The evidence shows that people who keep their weight off are doing 30 minutes of walking or whatever it might be. Some are doing strength training, but the majority are not," says Weil. "There's data to show that exercise improves joint strength. And people with arthritis have fewer symptoms and things like that. Your internal organs? Which internal organ is upset by exercising?"

According to "Dr. Jennifer Mieres, a cardiologist and American Heart Association spokesperson... " "...the evidence is overwhelming...You need to do some cardio workout to change your cardiac profile to make it better, to prevent death from heart disease and stroke."

If you have been following this blog or have visited my websites, then you know I am not a cheerleader for the experts.

But even the experts can get it right occasionally.

In this case, Karas the self-proclaimed expert is wrong. The others are right.

For more nonsense, check out Karas's useless exercise routine. It is a waste.

Do yourself a favor and skip the Cardio-Free Diet.
