A few recommendations. I have been working out with a few breaks for 7 years and will try to refrain from bro science (ironic as I have no sources)<p>Diet:<p>Telling people to not snack is counterproductive to what that section is saying if I am reading it correctly. Everyone is different. Some fast and have one huge ass meal. Some have two meals. Some more. I eat almonds as snacks throughout the day. Perhaps for simplicity of starting it is more work to count snack calories. Maybe say that?<p>Mention the importance of hydration throughout the day. Most people do not drink enough water throughout the day - no source but I firmly believe it is true.<p>Lifting:<p>Mention the dichotomy of strength vs muscle growth. Lower rep range focuses more on strength while higher rep range focuses on muscle growth. Some workout for strength exclusively (me), while others work out for physique exclusively. I do like how you combine strength and physique in the Big 4, but let the reader understand how.<p>Additional FAQ information:<p>How do I get abs? Abs are insulated by fat, reducing their visibility. Bodyfat reduction reveals them. Eat a deficit of TDEE, maintain proper protein intake, and consistently workout. Cardio exercise increases the TDEE deficit.<p>That is all I can come up with at the moment. Writing was fine! Thanks for working on this!

Hey HN!<p>I&#x27;d love to hear what you think, especially about my writing style, as I realize I&#x27;m not the world&#x27;s best writer.<p>I tried to keep the design simple, and somewhat crude. I wanted something that looked different than the majority of fitness websites&#x2F;blogs today. But let me know if I achieved that or if it could use some work.

I didn&#x27;t see a single source referenced, which may be why so many of the claims are totally wrong. When I saw claims such as, &quot;(low-carb diets) simply trick you into eating foods that are <i>less calorically dense</i>&quot;, I gave up altogether.

So sugar, carb and fat intake don&#x27;t matter? It&#x27;s all about the total calories plus getting the amount of protein you recommended?<p>That surprises me.
