The Fear
A Wise Man (once sat next to him)
Just reading the body coach/joe wicks 90 days into shape plan.
Few points i think he's wrong on.
He's saying HIIT 4-5 times a week (and doesn't stipulate build up or if you aren't fit you need to be careful and gradually get to HIIT)
He says take 1000mg vitamin c. I think, from what I've read, there are more and more doubts over these things. You can get your vitamin c more naturally, oranges, grapefruit, lemons, lime (and get other stuff from that... fresh not cartons of juice btw) plus bell peppers etc. Or like I do as insurance, sour cherry juice (you can get it from H&B or online) that you just add water to. Vit c tablets I think just gives you expensive piss and if you suffer from coldsores, too much c can bring those out
He recommends my protein. Juan agrees, bulkpowders are much better.
These one size fits all plans are a bit meh really aren't they? I know he's doing incredibly well and is growing in popularity, but the HIIT especially, is a real shock to me. It is called high intensity for a reason and your body needs time to recover.
He also says no weights in the first 90 day plan. Why? Weights are an excellent way to build fitness and lose fat.
Some of what he says does echo what myself and Juan have preached over the years in this and the fat loss thread though, using decent ingredients, use of herbs and spices etc. But on his plan he should be suggesting further reading for those I think as he doesn't say how much you need. Just a pinch here and there won't do much.
Interesting quick read though. His meals I didn't look very deeply into, I like to do my own meal plans but I guess for some it is good to have things regimented/laid out for them.
