I posted this about a year ago in my groups on Facebook (January 2019.) If you still think that calories are important or even a thing, please take a few minutes and educate yourself. The TDEE formulas are derived from an average of people following a typical westernized/modern diet. This kind of diet is high carbohydrate and made up of at least 70 to 80 percent of plant foods (keep in mind that almost […]

Carbohydrates and Insulin By Joachim Bartoll, December 2016, for Classic Muscle Newsletter #28, January 2017 In Issue 24 of CMN, I wrote about the new epidemic of nearsightedness (myopia).
