One of my favorite studies with regard to BCAA and hypocaloric training:

The dosage of BCAA was high though. (Can't remember what the exact dosage was...

Yes, a person could mix whey and casein together to make their own blend.

However, usually buying the blend is cheaper because milk protein isolate or concentrate is 20% whey and 80% micellar...

How do you feel different?

P.S. I would eat or drink whatever type of carbs let you lift weights the best. I would also look into making some fruit juice blends (grape, orange juice, pomegranate,...

This term increased metabolic capacity implies a greater level of fitness (muscle size, vascular development, mitochondrial development,etc).

A greater level of fitness usually involves a greater...

One thing too much Zinc can do is interfere with copper absorption in the body. (Copper is used in various essential enzymes so keeping a balance is important. )

It depends on how much non fat dry milk is in there.

For every gram of protein from non fat dry milk there will be ~1.5 grams of sugar (predominately lactose).

So for lets assume (purely for...

If you look at the first protein ingredient it lists "Non Fat Dry milk". This will add a good amount of carbs as the sugar...

For someone more experienced, they will have to tailor a training and nutrition program that allows them enough time to train (and increase intensity) as well as eat enough. (Increased...

Water (moisture) and a small amount of fat and minerals.

Yep, I've seen mention of fruit and veggie intake having protective effects against development of metabolic syndrome.

Here is one such study:

Well, basically they are right.

But if stored energy from adipose is not efficiently transferred to muscle during the energy deficit there will hunger signals sent to the brain and if additional...

Baseballer1025 has some great information in his first link about the relationship of insulin and fatty acid release.





Here is the full study the author got the information from --->...

Like you mentioned in the post below carb refeeds will replenish Muscle glycogen.



Replenishing glycogen will definitely go a long way to improving weight training work outs.

Anyway, with...

Based on the last statement, it looks like the extra carbs actually helped you put on 2-3 pounds of muscle while...

Eating carbs is going to work so much better than relying on gluconeogenesis!





Take home message: For someone lifting weights, avoiding carbs is bad idea.

Yep, that is correct.

Take home story don't worry about Insulin so much. It is not the only factor involved in whether the adipose cell releases fatty acids and glycerol or not.

Yes, a mixed diet (Protein, carbs, fats) along with sufficient micronutrients is a good plan.



Eating carbs post workout is a great idea, but I would not limit them to that time period only....

I would not try to avoid insulin for many reasons.

Long story short you need carbs to work out right?

Lifting weights releases epinephrine which stimulates beta receptors on adipose cells to...

I know about some studies using "empty calorie" fructose sources. But with a typical mixed diet high in micronutrients (ie, spinach and blueberry salad) I am skeptical that the biochemistry is the...

Well it is hard to criticize fruits and vegetables as being bad for dieting.

Not only that but I wonder if increased intake of anti-oxidant rich foods helps maintain skin elasticity during calorie...
