I used to follow Lyle on social media and he had a forum dedicated to his plans. May know his stuff but the bloke is beyond arrogant and enjoys having a go at people. Seen him pick on quite a few normal forum people for asking simple questions.

He should join UKM general, would fit it nicely.
He talks sense but still sometimes is totally full of himself. Would rather read his articles instead of listening to him.

Yeah, seen that video before. I guess there's a story behind it but I've not heard it.

Lyle unquestionably knows his stuff but yes he is arrogant and yes he can be pretty obnoxious at times as well. I've heard him say he has a form of bipolar disorder, which may go some way to explain some of this.

Never take nutrition advice from anyone named after a fast food chain. Not even Pizza the Hutt.

Other than that, read two of his booklets three years ago. The rapid fat loss handbook and The stubborn fat solution. Conclusion... keto guru which does not understand fatty acid metabolism and inflammation. His entire broscience can be safely disregarded.

What did he get wrong about fatty acid metabolism and inflammation?
