SSP 120. The Precept of Occam's Razor

------------------------------------

♦ The Precept of Occam's Razor ♦

------------------------------------

Achieving and maintaining a lean physique is much simpler than the diet and fitness industries might want you to believe. Scott applies the principle of Occam’s Razor to illustrate the point.

♦ “Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.” -Albert Einstein ♦

• Occam’s Razor:

1. a philosophical principle that says that the simplest solution tends to be the correct one.

2. The more assumptions that must be made, the less likely an explanation.

• People who eat mostly plants tend to be leaner, which should be simple and easy to understand.

• People often ask questions to get answers that support their current beliefs.

• Correct solutions may disagree with those beliefs, and there’s a tendency not to listen to different opinions, regardless how simple or correct they may be.

• “Clinically tested” doesn’t mean “clinically proven”.

• Cultures that have historically had the longest life spans consume a high percentage of carbs in their diets.

• Complicated ideas abound in the fitness and diet industry when the best eating strategies are simple.

• Choose the goal, then choose the sacrifices required to achieve the goal.

• Expectations often exceed efforts [a person’s willing to make to achieve them.]
