Thomas DeLauer: is he a quack?
I watch his videos, find them informative, but since nowadays so many youtube videos have "SCIENCE" in their title, when it's just random people who have no academic background, is DeLauer "legit"?

He cherry picks data to support all his keto nonsense and makes money off it. If you want to do keto and like it then go for it but the whole Keto is better than anything else for fat loss is nonsense. The idea of as long as you're in ketosis you can't gain fat is nonsense.

His videos are full of nonsense. Don't believe anything he says about fasting, keto or anything else.

He's retarded. There's a reason his info is 'quick'... he panders to the least common denominator. But if you're sucking on that KETO-fad teet, then I'm sure he's right up your ally.
If you want a good YouTube channel, try the Team3DMJ channel, biolayne, renaissance prioritization, etc."When I die, I hope it's early in the morning so I don't have to go to work that day for no reason"

I would agree with the tendency to cherrypick, as almost all advocats for a certain diet do so unfortunately, however IF for example is widely accepted as very beneficial healthwise. I guess it's always a case of "who knows their **** the most" to know who to believe... which is why the absence of an academic background in many "nutrition youtubers" does not help with credibility.

IF helps some people create a caloric deficit by shortening their eating window. Its also less optimal from maximizing protein synthesis since you're not consuming any while fasting. The vast majority of its touted benefits are BS and/or insignificant in healthy populations.

I personally do IF for my acne, not sure if it has really helped, but apparently it's beneficial for insulin sensitvitiy, reducing inflammation, auto****y, all those big words. Question is, how can the average Joe be for sure? Sources matter..
Edit: IF prolongs the significant boost of HGH we experiene during sleep up until the first meal of the day. Not sure if this is really of any substance for building muscle thoughMetal was made to be played in the gym.

Seriously? You saw everything he wrote and settled on THAT?
Did you ignore the "not enough to have a significant effect on hypertrophy"?
Let's put this another way... getting 1hr less sleep tonight than you did yesterday will decrease Test, but also not enough to show a noticeable difference.
Are you going to get your panties in a bunch over this fact?
Test levels move around throughout the day depending on countless factors you cannot control, so trying to manipulate them with any meaningful impact via time-controlled feeding isn't a good use of your time. You're better off getting better sleep, eating well, lifting, and staying not fat."When I die, I hope it's early in the morning so I don't have to go to work that day for no reason"

Nah relax mate, its just that I have read countless times that IF raises testosterone, just trying to make sense of it, 'tis all. I'm aware there are larger contributors to test. levels. I will take a look at the link above. I am willing to read as many serious studies as I can on these topics, not always easy finding the correct information online
Edit: I currently IF not for my muscle gains, but for other reasons. But I'm trying to understand how much of a difference IF and fasted lifting makes (concerning muscle gains) compared to non-fastingLast edited by AntoineIbanez12; 01-09-2019 at 12:48 PM.

Even the purported benefits on auto****y are way overhyped.

Well everyone has already told you....
Have you ever seen, heard of, or read Eric Helms' versions of the Muscle & Strength Pyramids? I suggest you give them a look...
Bottom-line, training fasted vs fed, restricting your feeding to a limited specific window, etc, only makes a difference in the context of individual convenience and it's subjective effects on training ability.
In other words, if your daily nutrition goals are met in such a way that makes you happy and able to perform YOUR PERSONAL BEST in the gym given all variables going on in your life, then do it.
Beyond those two aspects (personal preference and gym performance), when you eat your daily nutrients simply does not matter."When I die, I hope it's early in the morning so I don't have to go to work that day for no reason"

Are you familiar w/ Dr. Eric Berg (youtube). Another very "passionate" keto IF "Dr." and according to his videos cutting carbs and doing IF seems to be the solution to everything. Not that all his videos are BS, but I believe it's important for viewers to question these people and the information they are presenting... can be pretty misleading.
