Any of you guys following the fight that Anthony Colpo is trying to pick with Dr. Mike Eades on his Low Carb Muscle Forum? Anthony has always been a little bit of a loose cannon, but he's taken the personal attacks to a new low.

Notice how often he's accusing Dr. Eades of having not done a fraction of the research that Colpo has?

I think Colpo was hoping that an open debate with Dr. Eades would create interest in his new ebook.

Thanks, Bryan! I went and read the blogs. Interesting and that is all I'm commenting on the subject. I'm staying out of the fight.

Colpo is a wanker. He's also into 9/11 conspiracy theories.

I'm sorry I bought his book.

It is quite Colpo-esque and I agree it's to drum up support for his new e-book. Dr. Eades handled it with all the grace and poise we have come to expect from him.

Look in the italicized responses in the comments section at Dr. Eades' blog post.

Dr. Mike states:

I have nothing against Anthony Colpo except for his lack of manners. I’m all for his (or anyone else’s) actively promoting a low-carb lifestyle. It doesn’t bother me that we have a difference of opinion on the calorie issue (although it obviously bothers him a lot); I don’t agree with anyone (including MD) on everything.

Yes shall know them by their fruits.

Oh, my! I definitely have to buy Colpo's book!

Or maybe not.

Why is it that most of the people who take the fringe LC positions are so _extremely_ cranky? Are they not taking their vitamins or something?

I think this quote from Dr. Eades just about sums it up:

Vintage Colpo, and I've said it once and will say it again, I love the guys research and the books that his put out, but he's an a$$ personally. While I fully understand his argument against Eades, I think there was a much better way of voicing his difference. It reminds me of an old African proverb:

"When you see two people arguing in the street, if both are screaming and yelling, you don't know who the bigger fool is; however, when there's only one person yelling and screaming, then the answer is obvious."

While I agree with Colpo that Eades is comparing apples to oranges by using Keys and Yudkin's studies, and I won't even mention that Yudkin did not believe that there was a "metabolic advantage" to eating LC, going off on the guy and challenging him the way Colpo did only further alienates him from his peers--go figure?

Just my .02, and I love the new forum Jimmy--good job!

THANKS Muata! I'm happy to have you here and would LOVE to have you share even more about what has worked to help you get healthy. How about them pics, too, buddy?
