What's so brutal about that horseshit coming from a running magazine especially is that anyone who knows anything about nutrition can tell you that there's never been a study where subjects eat a controlled diet administered by the organizers and fail to have their body mass conform to the anticipated level. The 'studies' that suggest otherwise are all sloppy garbage that allow fatsos to self-report (read: lie) - although any science student worth his or her salt could also inform you about conservation of mass and be done with it. The ignorance of these fucking people at the magazines (or their capacity to pander) is limitless. Edit: Also, 'high-quality diet' - idiots. Let's talk about quantity before we trouble ourselves with saturated fats, phytonutrients, amino acid profiles and the other minutiae of our food.
