Welcome back to a little article review. This time we’re going back to T-Nation and an article from Chris Shugart, their ‘chief content officer.’ The article is called ‘The Non-Linear Diet for Lifters’ and is a take on the semi-recent study of ‘Intermittent Energy Restriction’ by Bill I. Campbell et al. from 2020. Chris begins his article by setting the stage by claiming that losing weight is easy, as it’s ‘basic calorie math’ and

Today we return to Anabolic Minds and a recent article they published on the subject of R-lipoic acid (RLA) and weight management, as in fat loss. We know that naturally occurring and bioavailable RLA and its bioactive form dihydrolipoic acid (DHLA) have important antioxidant properties, assist in detoxification and cellular repair, and also plays a role in energy production, as in the conversion of glucose into energy through aerobic metabolism.

The supplement pushers at T-Nation are back with another ignorant and potentially dangerous advertisement article — this time “tackling” the problem of vitamin B12 deficiency among clueless and dumbed down plant-based morons.

As I’m a bit short on time, we return to Examine.com for today’s “shorter” article and their summary of yet another stupid and unnecessary nutritional meta-analysis. And to be clear, a meta-analysis is a statistical method of combining and synthesizing the results of multiple independent studies addressing a “common research question.” So, what was this common question, this fascinating puzzle they had to solve this time? Well, this bunch of monkeys went through a

Iron Magazine and its extremely ignorant and clueless writer, Matt Weik, has been putting out more nonsensical garbage than usual this week. One of their articles covered the Noom diet and read more like an advertisement piece than a critical review. And although it sounds like the old Lolcat meme of “Om Nom Nom Nom,” it’s far from it. Let’s see what this moron, this Matt Weik, managed to put together. And I’ll try

Today we return to the supplement and bro-science shills at T-Nation where they tackle the rising problem with low levels of testosterone and especially high levels of estrogen in men. Considering the inverted pseudo-science of nutrition and all the extremely retarded nutrition advice these idiots spew out, as in consuming carbohydrates, which also are a common component of some of their supplements, let’s see if they dare mention the big elephant in the room,
Again, the evil backwards-thinking government- and pharmaceutical shills at Medical News Today are sharing extremely dangerous disinformation, aimed to reduce your lifespan, keep you weak, docile, controllable, and dependent on their damaging medical care.This time it’s about the retarded practice of drinking coffee — a hot and bitter (which tells us it’s extremely toxic) beverage made from the most toxic and poisonous part of any plant; the seed/bean. It should be obvious that drinking
