I don't understand the pervasive aggrandizement and suspense surrounding programs like these. 'Get my macros in order'? Eat cheese and meat for three days then eat a few loaves of bread. It's not a mystical erudite concoction.
Many people testify to its effectiveness in lieu of their personal pride for completing the program. The idea of a diet being a challenge is silly to me, but even still as a challenge it's not particularly difficult and as a diet it's not particularly effective. As a training program, I think it's pretty awful. From what I've seen, it seems to help contraindicated people more than its designated individuals.
A lot of Lyle's stuff is clever, but I also think a lot of it is nonsense. Try it out and make your own conclusions.
Edit: Didn't you get some damning blood test results? You should check with your doctor before starting a cyclical ketogenic diet...
