Policy on diet questions
Agreed. I think nutrition in general should also be allowed on this site.

Are people mis-interpreting the FAQ?
On the second point, I agree for some questions details are important, but for others I believe they are not. For instance, some adaptations are common to everyone, such as short term increased heart rate when exercising, and long term increased stroke volume etc. I hoped the question that I asked involved such general adaptations that would be applicable to nearly everyone.

Thanks Kate. I see what you are saying about avoiding XY problems, but I think sometimes people just ask questions out of curiosity in knowing how the body works. In my question for instance, I am curious about whether such training will improve my own performance, but I'm mainly interested in the physiological adaptations in general. This interest is innate, in the same way one can wonder about the stars in the sky, without having a specific problem they face.

What should we do with "how long is a piece of string" type questions
"How effective is .... in losing weight?" is not a bad question. "How effective is fasting 1 day a week for losing weight" is a reasonable question with a mathematical solution (involving a few caveats which can be stated in the answer). Sometimes an answer will be, it depends. If so, the answerer should state what it depends on, and how those factors influence the answer. These questions are good, but answerers here can be dumb, and can't think conditionally. Mathematics is the only subject that is pure, any other area of study has answers of "it depends" so get used to it.
