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

Today we return to the supplement pushers and bro-science fraudsters at T-Nation for another atrocious article promoting a very unhealthy and life-shortening diet and lifestyle. I know that I have touched on this subject many times, but it needs repeating from many different angles — as in this case about consuming toxic carbohydrates to “improve” the next day’s workout. Let’s see what the imbeciles had to say on the subject. “The gains you make […]

While Drugs Play A Part, Early Deaths In Bodybuilding Is Mostly Diet Related

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

Recently, Medscape published an article on a study looking at deaths among professional bodybuilders between 2005 and 2020 to calculate the risk of sudden death, especially related to heart failure (aka. sudden cardiac deaths [SCDs].) While there certainly is an overrepresentation of sudden deaths among elite level bodybuilders, as soon as they tried to explain why, everything went downhill showing once again how incredibly ignorant these people are of simple physiology and biochemistry. So,

Today we return to the old and mainstream bodybuilding and fitness magazine Muscle & Fitness and an article on a recent study on carbohydrate restriction. And this little coverage actually brought some new hope for the mainstream media. Let’s see what they had to say. “Counting calories has long been understood to offer the best chance of maintaining a healthy body weight, but many people find it difficult to sustain this approach. Fortunately, a

Today we’ll visit Men’s Health and a review of the VShred Diet. While the review is not entirely bad, it’s noticeable that the author, Abby Langer, and the “expert” she consulted are not well-versed in human nutrition nor physiology or biochemistry, so I’ll add my thoughts along the way. As the article is very long, I’ll cut out a few of the unimportant parts. “IF YOU’RE ANYWHERE on the internet on a regular basis,

If there’s one thing the fitness industry preys on, it’s the desperation and lack of knowledge in people looking to lose body fat — and the evil shills at T-Nation are no exception.A few days ago they posted an article on the ridiculous idea to boost your metabolic rate while sleeping to burn a tiny little bit of extra energy. Let’s see what nonsense they spewed out this time. “’Burn fat while you sleep!’

The Silly Myth About Low Body Fat And A Decrease In Testosterone

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

One of the most retarded myths in “sports science” and the backwards “fitness community” is that achieving a very low body fat will tank your hormones, especially testosterone. This misconception stems from the obvious effects of extremely restrictive, mainstreamed and retarded diets used to achieve these levels of leanness, which should be common sense. Heck, I already understood this when I began working in the industry over 35 years ago. Now, the supplement-pushers and

New Marketing Gimmick: Protein Powder And Protein Water Is The Same Thing — And A Word On Protein Fixation

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

Today we return to the government shills and the incompetent fools at Verywell Health for an article covering the new “protein water” gimmick. Let’s see what they have to say. “Protein is taking over the internet and the grocery store. Countless fitness influencers wax poetic about the benefits of eating lots of protein, and store shelves are filled with protein bars, shakes, and powders that all promise to help.” Actually, this psy-op, this deception,

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
