Hardly. "Slow down on the unhealthiest foods," perhaps. I love fruit. Should I slow down on fruit?
Most likely yes if you're eating tons of it a day.
If you're eating a ton of fruit a day, keep doing it! It's probably the healthiest thing you can put in your mouth.
I hereby nominate timesonline.co.uk for temporary suspension from Hacker News. Too many articles submitted recently that were poorly researched and written.

I don't see the phrase moderately intense cardiovascular exercise in my comment. Head on over to t-nation.com and read some of their articles on training.
this explains why marathon runners are so fat.
Diet doesn't really matter, I have a horrible diet I eat anything I want, I don't deny myself anything(junk food, fast food) but I'm in good shape because I work out an hour every day and burn off the calories I gain during the day.
Wait until you hit your mid-thirties and let's talk again.

It's easy to criticize 'blah blah blah'. But the style of the article is personal testimonial plus character study. It's going to include discursive storytelling, and it's not trying to boil down a diet/lifestyle/person to the fewest possible words. The cheapest form of criticism is to skewer a work for not meeting some ideal it wasn't even aiming for. DeVany is a very interesting and credible guy with a different sp…
Except why do I care that the reporter was early to the interview? Why would anyone care? It's not a diary, it's an article about a new diet. Tell me about the diet. You want to add a supplement about the author fine. But I don't need 3 pages of useless text about the author without once mentioning what the diet actually is. Sorry, but there is too much garbage in the world to spend 15 minutes reading all about some…
It's personalizing color, and it also lets the author explain how he's seen DeVany "half-naked".
You must really hate novels.
Not everything is written for an audience with ADD, nor should it be.

If it is a scientific publication. Your point is right. But take it easy when same material is published on newspaper for general female readers. It is not to their taste.
I remembered most of time when I wanted to argue some points with all my girlfriends that I've dated, they remember much better when I said some stories around the point. They usually responded worser when I just tried to cut the crap and strike the point.
Blah blah blah blah blah. The entire article is just blah blah blah. The guy needs an editor to cut it to 10% of it's size. Is he paid by the word or something? He sure knows the art of saying nothing using many words. Heck I can summarize it in 2 words: Modified atkins.
I agree with you on that his article requires editing. But is this method a modified Atkins one? It requires dieters to experience not only the food that paleolithic human ates, but also the frequency of insecurity of hunger and periodic exposure to unaware danger in life. I had an old boss before who stuck to Atkins after coronary artery bypass to lose 40 lbs, but he still ate a lot, ate frequently and he hated the…
