Those "rules" have minimal effect if any, and is complete crap for anyone training for performance, not just quick weight loss.
Just because I have my MS in Nutrition doesn't mean I know everything there is to know about this field. There are many recommendations that come from other professionals who have their own reasoning behind things. I like to ask fellow colleagues if I'm not sure about something - it can open up new doors. (that's the difference between getting an MS in this field and taking one undergrad course in nutrition...you learn to appreciate the opinions of others and look for a discussion to ensue. Then we can all learn from one another).
