Distraction is an obstruction for the construction.
“The Korova milkbar sold milk-plus, milk plus vellocet or synthemesc or drencrom, which is what we were drinking. This would sharpen you up and make you ready for a bit of the old ultraviolence.”

I read the full text of the study. I think I have already seen this study posted on the forums and I chimed in, but here is what I took away from it.
Those involved in the study were resistance trained athletes with something like 10 years of training under their belt. 10 subjects were told to keep their training and food intake the same, and 20 subjects increased their total caloric intake by 800 calories from a whey supplement. The group with the whey protein added into their diet say an average of ~3.5lbs of FFM gained in 8 weeks! So this means we should all overconsume whey and see awesome "lean gains" right? Well...
Here is what is probably going on and it does not defy the laws of physics.
1. It was a self reported study. The subjects were told to keep their food logs and training volume the same. There was no supervision whatsoever.
2. Protein has the highest TEF and an overfeeding of 800 calories with a 30% TEF means you burn off ~250 calories through digestion alone.
3. When you increase food intake, NEAT (spontaneous movement) increases along with it, burning off more of those remaining 550 calories.
So this aligns well with the ~3.5 pound weight gain.
But why was it so "lean?"
This I am not so sure about. Maybe an acute and massive spike in protein intake can cause a crazy high nitrogen balance and has a short term benefit to muscle gain. I would hypothesize that the body would eventually adjust to the massive amounts of protein and you would see a new homeostasis at the high protein intake levels.Been playing with shafts and balls since '75.
