Q&A: Do you still recommend tapering calorie up or down between dieting and gaining phases respectively.

In this Q&A I look again at the issue of metabolic damage (sort of) although the question is really about whether or not you should take a 2 week transition phase between dieting and gaining or vice versa.

I also briefly address a particularly bullshit*y comment to last week's video on the protein intake issue. Trust me I will NOT make this a common occurrence since it just reminds me that most 'criticisms' of my work is just this kind of crap. Vague passive aggressive strawmen arguments and little more. This industry is a tragedy filled with intellectually dishonest people who's sound like mewling babies b/c I was mean to them.

Which just happens to be a lead in to this coming Friday's long video about The Real Broscientists.
