meant additional amusement, not information. oops

W8, thank you. Chicken_Daddy, you got it. And the soap opera that is MFW provides me w/ a great deal of additional information when I need a break trying to drudge through all the facts. But i'm also very familiar w/ much of what is talked about here, it seems that the Beverly International...

If that were the case, people would be losing MORE muscle on a ketogenic diet where you eat few carbs. But aren't ketogenic diets MORE protein sparing than a high carb diet. Well, they are for some within certain ranges of bodyfat. The body doesnt just start 'burning' protein when carbs are low.

Technically no, there is no requirement for carbs and any glucose requirements can be met through gluconeogensis from fats and proteins. For optimal results in body composition and training, carbs are necessary to some degree. Understand that carbs themselves aren't the main cause of fat gain...

One thing, if you are willing a fast acting protein such as a whey isolate before lifting would probably provide better protein synthesis than post-workout protein, at least according to 1 study that looked at this. The idea is to get the protein to hit the bloodstream at or near the end of the...

You really don't know how much fat is in ground beef. Like it was mentioned above, %fat is given by weight, not calories to make it seem leaner. Its also just an estimation b/c different %'s use different cuts of meat, which just estimate how much fat is in it based on where its taken from. You...

I'm aware of the article, its from T-mag, I read the site frequently. Its written by John Berardi. He has some good ideas and some have no basis. As Lyle likes to point out, he uses voodoo nutrition, like not combining carbs and fats, which has no scientific support for hypocaloric diets and...

From a recovery standpoint, there is definitely a greater benefit for having a protein drink (but why would you add fat, if anything carbs to decrease cortisol and increase protein synthesis). Realistically though, in the whole scheme of things I doubt it matters and will probably make an...

How about this, instead of calling it cheating, make it a planned "refeed". Most bodybuilders get into the stupid notion that going for so long w/no cheating will result in better gains and is hardcore. Its actually counterproductive, especially in terms of drops in leptin, as well as...

Why must you go back to eating carbs when the fat comes off??? Many who allow time to adjust to a low carb diet feel better and look better than ever before. Eating high fat and cholesterol are NOT the causes of health problems, people still buy into this BS without learning the facts. Eating...

Agreed, sugars are truly evil. Avoid them like the plague. They were never a significant part of our diet throughout human existance until recent history and this is when our health really began to deteriorate. If you are cutting starches are unnecessary except for a carb-up meal if you choose...

if the studies Lyle referenced showed no difference the the protein pulse showed better results than a spread protein intake, how is it necessarily easier on the digestive system? The subjects were basically utilizing the nutrients as effectively regardless of the # of meals. Consider that...

Prince, i'm familiar w/ the Planet Muscle where Jeff Everson mentions Cory never ate more than 3 meals, and I do believe he was being honest. The problem is she was also on a host of drugs to help her out with her physique. BUT, even though this may be true, I don't believe 5-6 or as some do 7-8...

Just wanted to introduce myself, new to this message board. This board looks great b/c there's actually people here that are familiar w/ some of the top experts in our field. I see a lot of references to Dr. Serrano, Beverly International, Charles Poliquin, etc. so it seems we have some people...

Here's some info to start with. TOP 10 REASONS FISH OILS ARE ESSENTIAL 1. Fish oils, rich in the Omega-3 fatty acids may help prevent depression, stabilize the moods of maniac-depressives, and alleviate symptoms of schizophrenia. University of California's Johnsson Cancer Center, Los...

his newer diet is the metabolic diet at www.metabolicdiet.com , has tons of info. The diet is great and does work well, it's basically a CKD similar to BodyOpus but w/out a structured carb up and no depletion workout. The Metabolic Shift takes longer to occur on this type of plan b/c of the...

As everyone else says, ditch the bagel. If you're eating peanut butter it better be all natural, but there are still much better fat sources. Peanuts are legumes and are potentially estrogenic. You'd be better off focusing on 1 goal (fat loss or muscle gain) work on one then on the other. I...
