A Comment From A Doctor On My Fox Piece Today About The “Time” Magazine Piece

First I am going to post his comments and then my response:

This from him:

One very flawed, unsubstantiated article and you’re going to toss out your cardio and ignore almost every real health professionals advicel. I’m afraid Mr. Karas is a bit of snake oil salemsan with no real credentials looking to make a profit off of very bad advice. Keep up the cardio and just because you may become more hungry doesn’t mean everyone engages in irresponsible eating habits. As a cardiovascular surgeon I can tell you that cardio is extremely important for overall health. If you give up on cardio you are really giving up on a much higher quality of life.

This from me:

As usual, the person commenting on my position has not taken the time to even look (notice, not buy, just look) at the interval strength training outlined in the book.

You get even MORE heart health from intervals than you do from steady state aerobics.

Plus, West Point Military in the 1970s proved that strength training provided as much heart health as classic cardio.

BUT, interval strength training provides the increase in lean muscle tissue that will boost your metabolism.

So, please keep posting your comments, whether I like them or not, and i will respond.
