Overeating and Protein. Calories Does Not Matter

By / / Body Transformation / Bodybuilding, Diet and Nutrition, Health and Fitness / 10 minutes of reading

The protein guy and salesman Chris Shugart over at the supplement and fitness website T-Nation recently dug out an old study from 2012 on overeating (although the data collection took place during 2005 to 2007,) and the effects of a high intake of protein. As I worked for almost 30 years in this industry, let’s take a look at it and what Chris did draw from it. “You’ll definitely gain weight if you eat […]

Protein Synthesis: How to Sell More Useless Supplements

Today we return to a short article at T-Nation based on a study from 2017 on whole eggs vs. egg whites as a post-workout meal and its effect on ‘muscle protein synthesis.’ Once upon a time, I have to admit that I was very much into the whole para-workout nutrition thing, as I experimented a lot among both my clients who were willing to try new ideas, and other lifters that I recruited through

Protein Preloading is Totally Stupid and Unnecessary

By / / Body Transformation / Bodybuilding, Diet and Nutrition, Health and Fitness / 5 minutes of reading

Look who’s back. It’s Chris Shugart, once again obsessing over protein and fat loss. However, I can’t really blame him as I kind of did the same back around 1997 to 2006, before I discovered the incredible powers of fasting. Funny enough, while I was in decent shape in the late 90’s and also in 2003, it was not until I found fasting in 2007 and going fully “ketogenic” with a base of animal-based

No, It’s not About Protein, It’s About Nutrients

And here I thought we had put this protein debate to rest. However, the “Chief Content Officer” Chris Shugart, over at T-Nation, managed to find yet another “study” where he, just like the dimwits performing the study, draw some seriously flawed conclusions. Chris begins the article in the typical ‘T-Nation’ fashion with some mocking disguised as humor about telling people who are a little bit ‘too pudgy’ to simply stop ‘eating so damn much.’

More Studies on High Protein Diets and Fat Loss – What Really Happened

By / / Body Transformation / Bodybuilding, Diet and Nutrition / 10 minutes of reading

Here we go again, it’s only been a little over a week, and the “Chief Content Officer” Chris Shugart over at T-Nation is yet again advocating for high protein diets, while advertising their own chemical shit-storm of a protein powder. While I do agree that most people need more animal protein in their diet, and especially animal fats, I do not necessarily agree with the conclusions drawn from these studies or the recommended approaches

The Real Truth About Protein-Based Diet Strategies

By / / Body Transformation / Bodybuilding, Diet and Nutrition / 10 minutes of reading

I’m sorry if I’m almost on repeat here. Again, I received some messages about an obvious ‘advertisement-article’ that is, well, just plain wrong on almost all accounts, so it needed to be addressed. And it’s a good opportunity to cover and untangle the subject of protein and dieting as well. If you already know my background, feel free to jump to the main part of the article. I worked in the Gym-, Fitness-, Health-,

Protein for Body Composition

By / / Body Transformation / Bodybuilding, Diet and Nutrition / 6 minutes of reading

Let’s take a break from the world-stage theatre in Israel and instead look at another article from Chris Shugart, the ‘Chief Content Officer’ at T-Nation. This time Chris looked at a new “study” where they simply increased the intake of protein by a measly 21 grams for a group of overweight people. To summarize the study, a group of “researchers” gathered up 200 people of overweight or obese men and women from all age

The World’s Easiest Fat Loss Strategy Is The Carnivore Diet With Scheduled Fasting

By / / Body Transformation / Bodybuilding, Diet and Nutrition, Health and Fitness / 14 minutes of reading

A few days ago, the fitness- and bodybuilding wannabe writer Chris Shugart of T-Nation posted an article on what he deemed the “world’s easiest diet strategy.” Well, that’s quite a statement from someone I’ve had to correct hundreds of times while doing my article reviews. Let’s see what he has come up with, and I’ll add my thoughts as an actual coach with 25+ years of real-world experience with hundreds of competing athletes at

Today we return to T-Nation as Chris Shugart takes a look at yet another extremely retarded theory in an effort to sell some supplements to their gullible readers. As you might know, I worked for more than 30+ years the fitness/coaching-, diet-, supplement-, and medical industry at an elite level, coaching more than 1100 athletes — especially within Bodybuilding and Fitness, as in getting athletes ridiculously shredded for competitions and keeping a decent appearance

Today we return to the supplement-shills at T-Nation and their leading writer Chris Shugart with an article about sarcopenia — the progressive and generalized loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength. Let’s see how Chris tries to fit this subject into the world of fitness and strength training, and what supplements he would like his gullible readers to purchase this time around. “Lifters tune out when they hear the word sarcopenia. That’s an old-fart
