By / / Diet and Nutrition / 13 minutes of reading

Today we’ll visit the website of the bodybuilding magazine “Muscular Development” and their nutrition section where Brad Schoenfeld, Ph.D., who for some reason actually managed to make himself a name within the fitness industry, answers the question if a “calorie is a calorie.” Let’s see what Brad answers, while I’ll add some real science, common sense, and logic to the discussion. You know, the qualities that got lost somewhere along the road a long […]

Going To Bed Late Increases The Risk Of Cardiovascular Disease, Obesity and Diabetes

By / / Health and Fitness / 10 minutes of reading

Again we return to Medical News Today and another review of a recent study where the authors found that going to bed late, independent of lifestyle factors such as late snacking, increases the risk of type 2 diabetes, as well as body fat accumulation. Of course, if you know anything about physiology, or if you’ve been coached by me and “lectured” on the importance of going to bed before 10 p.m., you should be

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

The Extreme Dangers and Damage of a Fruitarian Diet (Even Short-Term)

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

Today we return to the supplement-driven Iron Magazine, a website that supposedly is aimed at bodybuilding and fitness, but with retarded crap such as the article we’re about to look at, it’s hard to tell what the heck they are or represent. Once again, it’s the awful and shamefully ignorant writer Matt Weik who this time tackles the fruitarian diet, possibly the worst and most dangerous diet out there, even more so than veganism.

By / / Body Transformation / Bodybuilding, Diet and Nutrition, Health and Fitness / 13 minutes of reading

Today we return to Iron Magazine, the supplement-based “bodybuilding and fitness magazine” platform that once upon a time tried to ride on the popularity of our online magazine IronMag Online. This time, their writer Matt Weik tackles the Cyclical Ketogenic Diet (CKD.) So, let’s see what he has to say, and I’ll add my thoughts from my 28-years of experience with ketogenic diets and elite-level coaching. “Many people have heard of, tried, or have

Obesity And Inflammation Explained: Why It Will Only Get Worse

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

Once again we return to Medical News Today and another article based on a study on “treating” obesity while ignoring the root cause, which is yet another example of why things will never change and only get worse, as we’ve seen for the last 40+ years. As I’ve explained in previous articles, the current backwards “sciences,” especially those of “modern medicine” and “nutrition” has been in play for a long time, fully govern by

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

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

Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals and Human Health

By / / Health and Fitness, Terrain Theory / Nature and Biology / 7 minutes of reading

The YouTube channel ‘High Intensity Health,’ with Mike Mutzel, who on occasion do some really good stuff (although he’s still trapped in a lot of pseudo-science,) posted a video today about ‘Testosterone Tanking Chemicals.’ The video is based on what he says is a recently published paper in The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology, although it is from August 2020. The paper is a summary of the increase in studies since 2015 and 2016 of

The Ketogenic Diet and Mental Health Benefits

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

The Big Pharma and Medical Pseudo-Science shill-website Medical News Today recently tried their best to stay neutral while reviewing a new study on the Ketogenic Diet and its potential to improve mood and mental well-being in the general population. Considering that the study, like all “nutritional oriented” studies was very poorly done, and the writers at Medical News Today are totally clueless about human physiology, this might be a fun ride. As usual, I’ll
