Hacker News Reader

Kind of crazy that you guys don't understand this yet. I may not know how to hack, but I know how the body operates. Most people would do well to read Volek & Phinney, both 'the art and science of low carbohydrate living' and 'the art and science of low carbohydrate performance'

In turn, I recommend you read How Not to Die by Dr. Michael Greger. http://nutritionfacts.org/book/

This is the single best advice in this whole thread. I read it: it covers so much ground. You need to be a bit of a nerd (the text is loaded with refs to papers) and makes use of jargon where no simple alternative exists -- but it is by no means a hard read.

Srsly this book can add 15 healthy years to your life!
