Lyle McDonald

Lyle McDonald became interested in the science of exercise and nutrition in high school through his involvement in martial arts, triathlon, gymnastics and weight training. This led him to pursue a bachelor's of science degree in Kinesiology from the University of California at Los Angeles. The curriculum included an overwhelming amount of basic human physiology, anatomy, biochemistry, endocrinology as well as coursework in exercise physiology, biomechanics and nutrition.

After graduation in 1993, he got involved in personal training in a variety of settings. From this time until the present is when he really learned about some of the realities about training, nutrition etc.

Lyle got involved in the internet at the end of college, first posting to alt.support.diet and then to misc.fitness (before it splintered into misc.fitness.weights and a few others). He has written over 40 articles which have been posted to the internet and which are archived on a variety of www pages including Cyberpump, Griffin's Weights page, and Kyle Wilson's Weights Page. As far as his internet postings, he is probably most known for his 20 week Bodyopus diaries which chronicled his experiences with the diet (and many other topics including his pitiful social life).

In addition to his writing on the internet, Lyle has had articles published in Dan Duchaine's Dirty Dieting newsletter, Hardgainer magazine, and Dave Greenwalt's PowerStore Newsletter.

Lyle McDonald is the author of The Ketogenic Diet: A Complete Guide for the Dieter and Practitioner.
