Forget About Diets. There's more to health than just food: exercise, sleep, sunlight, friendship, love, and enjoyment. Be your own guru. We welcome all perspectives with an open mind, critical thinking, and holistic debate. We are all different and we all have things to learn and teach. We seek broad perspective, not narrow divisions. Relax and have fun. Listen and you will be heard.

Every diet has strengths and weaknesses. None are perfect. Initial benefits may lead to long-term problems. Don't trust hype or dogma. Take what works and discard the rest, find common ground, look for greater truth. Don't put blind faith in diets or gurus or yourself:

• BODY-BUILDER (Anabolic Diet, Martin Berkhan, LeanGains, Scott Abel, Cycle Diet, Lean Protein, High-Protein).
• LONGEVITY (Calorie Restriction, CR, CRAN, CRON, Intermittent Fasting, IF).

• MAINSTREAM (Weight Watchers, Slim Fast, South Beach, Mediterranean, Food Combining),
• PALEO / PALEOLITHIC (Loren Cordain, Ray Audette, Art DeVany, Mark Sisson).
• RAW MEAT, RAF, RVAF (Aajonus Vonderplanitz, AV, Primal Diet, Instincto).
