You were obviously very bright to find this website Create this account, sign up, and ask for information. You were not given education about nutrition, so you took it upon yourself to find sources of education for yourself. That IS a very intelligent 11year old.

I am sure you know this, but Craig Titus and his girlfriend Kelly Ryan were convicted in the murder of their personal assistant. It would not be a stretch to say there is a good possibility that the use of anabolic steroids was at least one factor (probably of quite a few) which created the...

Unless it's surgical, it's bunk. Also, a single strand of human DNA contains at least 3 billion coding units for every single potential phenotype, and the same code is present in every single cell in your body--Not a single one of those codes is for love handles. Unless you have a serious...

Hi. In addition to the comments above, there is mounting evidence that food choices do, in fact, affect body weight distribution in reference to VAT, or visceral abdominal fat. The bright side is that because this particular weight distribution is readily mobilized, it's usually quite...

First let me say, that as a so-called "text book trained" dietician, some may not take my pencil pusher opinions well in reference to BB, but I can definitely answer your question about the health of your arteries. First of all, hypertension and obesity are to blame for clogged arteries 99% of...

You really need carbohydrates to prevent going catabolic. After a fast, unless you include carbs, your body will create them from proteins (gluconeogenesis), this is a very inefficient process wherein your protein is disassembled.

How so? Liquid egg whites have a BV of 100, and because their nitrogen retention is also 100, they are the reference protein. They're not like tomatoes, wherein lycopene is concentrated during cooking. Unless there has been some new discovery since I was studying Nutritional Sciences...

Peas are not a good protein source. They are a starchy vegetable. Cottage cheese is very rich in slow digesting proteins (casein). Canned fruit in concentrated fruit juice or syrup--you might as well just have a sprite with your breakfast. But snap peas raw are yummy.

I've had insomnia since I was nine--I treat it with lifting. There is plenty of evidence that adequate daily exercise supports healthful circadian rhythms, but you should definitely avoid exercise within 2 hours of bedtime. Do you drink caffeine? If so, stop. I feel you are psyching yourself...

I'm gonna disagree with anyone who says that crunches are "useless". Weighted crunches are excellent abdominal exercises. In fact, someone who is relatively out of shape will see the fastest improvement from regular crunch-based abdominal routines combined with a caloric-defecit. Seen it...

While this is great advice, a fitness novice is probably not going to track their macros, as someone who is already well versed and in good shape would need to do to reach their (considerably higher than average) goals. Luckily, someone in her position can see tremendous improvement with...

Your woman can't look like a man just from working out. Physiologically impossible. I do the same workout a man would do.

"Slimming" means reducing size. For a woman with baby weight, losing that baby weight and reducing her total body fat will accomplish that. In my opinion, the same workout a man would do to reduce their total body fat will do the same for women. It would take your average woman months and...

Hey, Built! I haven't been around here in ages. Anyhow, I would be interested to hear more about the health benefits of a ketogenic diet. I would agree that caloric deprivation has profound health benefits...well, actually only one, but that one is a significantly longer life span (at least...

The body and brain do not run on ketones. Ketones are a by product o gluconeogenesis. The kidneys work very hard to remove them from the body, as they are unwanted waste. Glucose is the only energy form on which the brain can run.

You are so right. Super low carb diets are so unhealthful, and it's pretty well established that they don't work over time. There are many health risks associated with super low carb diets that people don't even think about. Ketogenic diets impair cognitive functioning, increase the risk for...

If you aren't losing weight anymore, and you've only lost 8 pounds, upping your calories makes no sense. The concept of "starvation mode" is exaggerated horribly and often taken out of context. You are clearly not at a caloric defecit at all. It sounds like you've used some formulas to...

Yeah, you're gonna have to eat your carbohydrates during the day if you're gonna run around that much.

You can have a special meal out and over do it every once in a while. Just eat very clean the rest of the day. If I had a special event coming up I'd probably omit my starch from lunch and then eat lots of fish and avoid bread, pasta and dessert rom the special meal. Either way, all you can...

Exactly. Hi, Built!:ohyeah:
