Two contenders arrive.
And join forces with the creep who's sunk to a new low. Alan's been saying fuck you to science since 2012 but now he's...unhinged.

Excuse the delay. Me and time, you know the story. But in a minute or two, my webmaster will post the article and you'll see that it was worth waiting for.

A personal message from your's truly. I can't lie, guys. I've been procrastinating a good bit with this FAQ and could use some help. It's probably a combination of everything that's happened recently, but the damn thing bores me to tears and putting it together in a coherent format is the last thing I want to do right now.
Because, among other things, it's damn hard to draw the line between what's...
This is for those who have completed 4 weeks of the diet as laid out in The Leangains Method.
Compare week 2 average to week 4 average and consider expected weight loss versus actual weight loss. Example:
Week/average weight
Week 1: 100
Week 2: 99.5
Week 3: 99.2
Week 4: 98.5
Assuming an expected weight loss of -0.5 kg/week, we can see that reality matches expectations perfectly here. Two weeks is expected to yield -1k...

Good news, dear friends.

I don't care about the questions and comments on the main site but I'll answer your's if you have them.
Thought of saving some parts for this place, but don't think that kind of content would be appreciated by everyone. But now that this bullshit is over and done with, I can move on.

The study consists of a Google Form to be filled in after each respective week on the diet. So, for example, if you've just finished Week 1 or Week 2 on the diet, you are eligible to participate - assuming you've logged your body weight like you're supposed to.
The total length of the study i...

This is a list of fixes for the print edition and they'll be in the updated Kindle version as well.
I would greatly appreciate it if you guys could have a look over and see if I missed something, however small. Thanks a bunch for notifying me about them. Can't wait to turn this shit in once and for all.

I couldn’t be happier with the response. Couldn’t be more disappointed in my inability to keep it together and man the fuck up.

For those waiting for the print copy, I will upload the file to Amazon on the 31st of August which means that it will be available on the same day or whenever Amazon wills it.

The fine print states that it can take up to 72 hours before the page goes live. Our resident Amazon expert claims it'll be available within 3-24 hours however, so we'll see.
Price: In a last minute decision, I dumped the price. Set it to $9.99 instead of $29.99. Why? Call it my get-into-heaven-pass. It'll be the ace I pull when they ask. Plus it wouldn't...
2018-08-01 23:09:48 +0000 UTC View PostAs happy I am with the book being finished, I am far from 'done' in any meaning of the word. Among the easier things I'm dealing with, I need to be available 24/7 to help out formatters and proofreaders who are tackling the manuscript.
Tackling? With hundreds of footnotes and scientific references, it's easily the most complex work they've encountered so far. In the fitness genre, there's not even a close second (1). I'm talking book, a damn hard one at that. Ain't a ...
2018-07-26 23:44:48 +0000 UTC View Post1. As implied on the Lens I put up yesterday, the book will be ready for release on August 3rd. Since the 3rd is a Friday, I will likely wait 'till Monday, which means the book will be available on Monday, August 6th.

This is for those who track their daily activity and those who don't.
I'm interested in knowing your average step count/day. Take last week's total / 7 if only your weekly total is visible. If last week was unusual, i.e. perhaps you hiked through the Appalachian trail or had a million errands to run, then please use another week.
Bonus points to those who, in the comments, report their Mon-Fri vs Sat-Sun step count average.
