Backwards Thinking: PGC-1α Protein and Fat Loss Through Exercise

By / / Body Transformation / Bodybuilding, Diet and Nutrition, Health and Fitness / 8 minutes of reading

Today we return to Medical News Today and their recent article on “weight loss” through the futile method of exercise. Exercise is simply stress as it tears down the body and suppresses our hormones. While some exercise is good to keep an aerobic- and strength-wise foundation, and to stimulate the lymphatic system, it is pretty useless for fat loss or weight management. You simply have to consider the negative impact versus the little extra […]

Volumetrics — The Stupidest Fat Loss Diet Fad Since IIFYM? 

By / / Body Transformation / Bodybuilding, Diet and Nutrition, Health and Fitness / 9 minutes of reading

There seems to be just as many types of diets as there are stupid dietitians, nutritionists, and coaches within the dieting- and fitness industry, and that is a lot, pretty much 99% of them. So, it comes as no surprise that the website “Iron Magazine,” the website that once upon a time tried to ride on the fame of our IronMag that dominated the health- and fitness space on the internet during the 90’s,

Today we return to T-Nation and a really important subject, a subject their Chris Shugart manages to turn into a full-blown retarded advertisement. Still, with more than 20+ active years as a high-level coach within the fitness and sports industry, this is something I worked a lot with, so let’s see what Chris has to say about the hormonal damage from strict ‘starvation’ diets. “Famine is fairly rare in today’s world, but that wasn’t

Fat Loss 101: Leptin And Hunger Is Not An Issue If You’re Fat Adapted and Fully Nourished

By / / Body Transformation / Bodybuilding, Diet and Nutrition, Health and Fitness / 12 minutes of reading

Today we return to T-Nation and their CCO Chris Shugart as he tries to tackle the “issue” of leptin on badly constructed “fat loss diets.”Leptin is believed to be a ‘hormone’ produced primarily by fat tissue in the body. It’s said to play a crucial role in weight regulation and energy balance as it signals the brain, particularly the hypothalamus, to regulate appetite and metabolism. So, let’s see what Mr. Shugart has to say

Forskolin is Simply a Poison

By / / Body Transformation / Bodybuilding, Diet and Nutrition, Health and Fitness / 9 minutes of reading

The other day, T-Nation published another advertisement article for their toxic and useless supplements. This time it was about the active toxic substance forskolin from the herb coleus forskohlii — and they have pushed this crap many times before in several different advertisements disguised as “scientific” articles. Well, as with all misunderstood “natural” toxic compounds, forskolin has been studied since 1981 in vitro to better understand the cellular processes governed by cyclic adenosine monophosphate

Workout Nutrition Recommendations Still Outdated in 2024

By / / Body Transformation / Bodybuilding, Diet and Nutrition / 11 minutes of reading

Today, for a laugh, we return to the Big Pharma and Government shill-site known as Healthline, one of the worst places for pure disinformation and propaganda on anything health- and nutrition related. A few days ago they posted an article on workout nutrition by Arlene Semeco, MS, RD and Celia Shatzman, which was “medically reviewed” by Jared Meacham, Ph.D., RD, CSCS. That simply means that a bunch of trained and indoctrinated monkeys wrote a

Low Testosterone in Men Linked to Premature Death?

By / / Body Transformation / Bodybuilding, Health and Fitness / 11 minutes of reading

Today we return to T-Nation and a very important topic. Although they used the study to try and sell you totally worthless “testosterone boosting” supplements, the main message is of importance, and it might not be as obvious as you think. However, it should be quite logical to anyone who understands biology and human physiology. For many years, due to the backwards pseudo-science of modern medicine, testosterone has been commonly believed to be linked

High-Protein Breakfast for Better Muscle Gain?

By / / Body Transformation / Bodybuilding, Diet and Nutrition / 8 minutes of reading

Once again we return to T-Nation and an article focused on protein and muscle gain based on a study they found that can help them sell more protein supplements. While I do agree that you need more than ‘one meal a day’ to efficiently build muscle mass and maintain an athletic physique, let’s see where they go with this — and if the study is even relevant to world case scenarios (which they almost
