Scott Adams: Diet Science in 2014 (LINK) [As he mentions in the post, he discusses his diet and thoughts in more detail in his book How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big. I've also noticed a lot of truth in his statement: "What I noticed in myself is that until I reached a critical base of knowledge about diet science I couldn't lose weight no matter how much so-called willpower I brought to it." My favorite book on this is still probably The New Evolution Diet. For those who prefer to listen instead of read, I recommend The Primal Blueprint Podcast. Mark Sisson's website, Mark's Daily Apple, is also a great resource.]
