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 […]

Today we return to T-Nation and their latest article covering SHBG and its relationship with total testosterone and the very important “free testosterone.” As they are a supplement company pretending to be a ”hardcore” fitness and bodybuilding magazine, we can expect a lot of bullshit as they try to protect their bro-science lifestyle and sell totally worthless and very toxic supplements that I wouldn’t even touch if they paid me handsomely for trying them.So,

Due to “nutrition science,” the pseudo-science that was invented, made-up and turned into complete nonsense by the Food Industry, the Medical Community, and the Pharmaceutical Industry, people have been conditioned into thinking in terms of macronutrients (fat, protein and toxic unnecessary carbohydrates) instead of essential nutrients, their bioavailability and food synergy. If you take a look at any health-, fitness-, or survival tv-show, the only things you will hear on repeat are “calories” and

The protein guy and salesman Chris Shugart over at the supplement and fitness website T-Nation recently dug out an old study from 2012 on overeating (although the data collection took place during 2005 to 2007,) and the effects of a high intake of protein. As I worked for almost 30 years in this industry, let’s take a look at it and what Chris did draw from it. “You’ll definitely gain weight if you eat

Today we revisit the shill Dr. Axe and his staff’s latest attempt to write an article about ‘workout nutrition’ and food for athletes. On June 23, I reviewed a similar article from Healthline, which was, well, really bad. Let’s see how this ‘Rachael Link’ does, and I’ll add my thoughts from working at the absolute elite-level in this field for more than 20 years. “It’s no secret that hitting the gym is important when

In the category of pre-workouts, there’s everything from lightly caffeinated drinks to gray-area powders containing banned substances. I’ve played around

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

I get a lot of fat-related questions, including requests for help regarding digestive issues among those who want to transition to our natural species-appropriate, species-specific carnivorous way of eating. Most of these questions are from my consulting services and some issues require some fine-tuning back and forth to slowly heal and get the digestive system working again. With that said, there’s a lot that you can try that is fairly simple and straightforward without
