Quick comment on 72 hour fasts and why it's a bad idea.

DNG = de novo glucogenesis.

Liver glycogen plays an ever increasing role for maintaining blood glucose during the fast.

Once liver...

Stay tuned. I'll give you the low down on this study later today on my site.

I should note that this was not a clinical trial, it was a study review. From the abstract I thought they were looking...

Protein fluff beats veggies for satiety (and by leaps and bound for taste if you're not really into veggies). So check out that link right there if you haven't tried it yet.

Other than that,...

Nice job finding all those quotes. Your summary is mostly on point. Perhaps with the exception of the last sentence. It has not been my experience that low intensity cardio on rest days (i.e....

Great progress so far, Steven. Well done. A big overall improvement in your physique for sure but I would also like to note that your facial features are much better - from doughy and soft to rugged...

Damn, this new thread grew fast.

Someone asked about benefits of fasted training. For fasted training specifically, check out the "fasted training" category/label (right sidebar) & you'll see...

Btw Emma, when you get a chance, change the title & text to "intermittent".

It would be much slower than 6 g/hr. Keep in mind that this has been studied under conditions where...

Quick, take a picture. It's a specimen of the almost extinct breed of bro stupidius.

Please elaborate on how more meals leads to "more steady energy levels".

Is your body so frail and dysfunctional that you need to constantly feed it in order to get going somewhere? What a pity....

Love how it says "decreased insulin sensitivity" under health benefits :D

I'm sure whoever made the video meant well but it ain't exactly how I do things nowadays. It's not completely insane...

Are you doing pump-n-tone-stuff with short rest periods or keeping it to 8 reps max with 3 mins rest periods like you should? For the former, strength, or rather endurance, might be affected during...

Yup.

I don't know about most Swedes having great physiques though. I guess it depends on what you compare with.

I stayed in NYC back when I was modelling and didn't really notice any general...

Not sure if it's ok to mention my site here but I do take a scientific approach & talk about fairly advanced nutritional concepts on my site.

Focusing on intermittent fasting...

Worth mentioning here is that dietary fat* also affects GH negatively ACUTELY just like carbs. Eating just about anything but protein impacts GH negatively.

GH is secreted in a pulse-like fashion...

1. First of all - and most importantly - you have the look at the collected evidence and draw your conclusion from that. You don't look at one isolated study that shows a negative effect & assume...

I snapped pic on an empty stomach but didn't do anything in regards to water manipulation etc. I don't play around with that much & even my competitors stay hydrated up till contest day.

Horse****.

People actually still believe in the 6-meals-a-day-will-boost-your-metabolism-nonsense on this board?
