People make things more complicated than they need to be.
When it comes to losing fat, gaining muscle, improving athletic performance, or anything similar, there's certainly no shortage of methods out there, and people trying to sell them, promising you amazing results. The more complex they can make their methods, the more 'scientific' they seem, and through a leap of false logic, the more credence we give them.
Look back 100 years. There were plenty of people in fantastic shape, and they didn't have half the dietary & exercise science that we do now. (People like Arthur Saxon had never even heard of the food pyramid, fad diets, aerobics or toning...).
My philosophy is to keep things simple. At BodyQuest Kettlebell Gym I use the simplest methods which often elicit the best results. I don't have a diet that requires a degree in nutritional science to work it out. I don't have a training plan that Einstein would have difficulty following. Yet I can lift another human being above my head with one hand.
Do not be fooled by bells & whistles. The more complex something is, the more chance it has of falling apart when the going gets tough. The simplest methods are often the best. Using the simplest method to a goal is efficient. The more efficient you can become, the better you can apply yourself to any given task. The better you can apply yourself, the more you can challenge yourself.

Challenge everything, especially yourself.
