Bakalar concludes that while cohabitation doesn't affect metabolic changes, it does result in "altered behavior," which consequently causes weight gain. In our minds, "altered behavior" is a vague scientific way of saying "sharing a large cheese pizza. Fact: It's way more fun to eat indulgent restaurant fare with a partner in crime. Fact: We're more likely to order dessert when we're in good company.
And fact: It's easy to order more glasses of wine in the company of an enabler. Bakalar's article got us thinking, how can we prevent ourselves from becoming a statistic, but still go on fun dates? Rather than shy away from eating together, what lifestyle changes can we make? And the answer is right under our noses: Cook.
To suggest as I did in the very first paragraph that maybe Atkins had been right all along was a surefire method to bring the article maximal publicity, induce the greatest backlash and, whether my editors knew it or not, maximize the book advance that would assuredly follow.
The advance paid for the next four years of my life and so the research and writing of a book, Good Calories, Bad Calories , that regrettably would take five years. First, though, I would be publicly shamed. I had expected the article to be controversial; I had no idea quite how much.
In retrospect, my article had aggrieved two significant constituencies, not just one. By proposing that the nutrition authorities had made inexcusable errors, I had implied that my journalistic colleagues who covered this field had also botched the story, if not missed it entirely.
Not on this subject. More human nature. Better that every authority and journalist agrees on the wrong answer, by this logic, than that one or a few of them actually be right. My friend had considered me one of the best and most astute science journalists in the country, but that changed once I came to different conclusions than she had.
Now she accused me of selling out to procure a large book advance. That would be a common accusation. Since then, I have clearly moved toward vindication. Aspects of my once-heretical arguments have become orthodoxy. It is really important for individuals to understand proper exercise form and technique. Finally, although HICT can be a great way to improve health, it may not be as good as other workouts longer workouts, more resistance exercises at helping develop strength and power, sport-specific endurance, and sport-specific performance.
Keep in mind, to maximize the effect of HICT, allow enough time to do 15 to 20 repetitions of each exercise—usually that means 30 seconds per exercise. Also, limit rest between exercises to seconds. The seven exercises can be repeated times, depending on your time and ability. Finally, remember HICT is hard work.
