It would help me out SO much and in return, I will analyse your diet to give you a full breakdown of every calorie, gram of protein, vitamin, mineral and more that passes your lips! Its great information for anyone wanting to tweak their diets to get better results!

Please either email me via the forum or message me on my myspace page

I am investigating the prevalence of the Adonis Complex or 'reverse anorexia' in bodybuilders. The literature available at the moment primarily focuses on women and body image and or eating disorders but as it is becoming more prevalent in men it makes it a valid subject for investigation (from a student/dissertation point of view) I have chosen body builders as a magnified section of the population as its know they/you are very careful/dedicated regarding eating and body image.

This is taken from my proposal:
The research carried out so far mainly focuses on body image alone without reference to the nutritional intake of the subjects. (McCreary D.R. & Sasse D.K. 2000, Drewnowski A. & Yee, D.K. 1987 & Ruffolo et al, 2006) This study aims to prove a link between body image and nutritional intake. The study will look at diet as a whole as well as three specific elements of dietary intake, caffeine, protein and omega-3 fatty acids. Previous studies have shown links between caffeine intake and anxiety and omega-3 intake and depression (Nehlig et al 1993, & Mischoulon & Fava M, 2000) which have produced both positive and negative results. This study aims to see if subjects with either high caffeine and/or low omega-3 intake have heightened levels of body image distortion. Finally, this study will investigate protein intake to establish if there is a correlation (as expected) of increased protein intake in those subjects who experience body dissatisfaction and have a negative body image.

The aim is to recruit a minimum of forty subjects to give the results a higher statistical power than would be obtained with a smaller number of subjects. It is expected some subjects will not complete the study therefore a higher starting number is preferable to ensure enough subjects do go on to complete the study.

Hope that helps, sorry I missed your original post!
Thanks
