http://www.simplyshredded.com/nutrition-expert-alan-aragon-talks-with-simplyshredded-com.html So I found this link on another website. I would think everyone here would want to read it...it's very good. I don't really like how he bashes cardio, but he's right that it isn't necessary to lose weight, and from a bodybuilding perspective (which is what simplyshredded is about) it really isn't too useful. I recommend you look around the site too, it has some good articles!
