Today we return to T-Nation and their clueless and protein-obsessed writer Chris Shugart, a guy I’ve had to correct more times than I care to remember. This time he’s once again raving about the alleged metabolic/thermogenic effects of protein, which in reality are almost negligible. We already know that protein is used for several processes in the body, processes that require energy — so about 20 to 30 % of the energy content in
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. So, let’s see what

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

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
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’ll take a look at Anabolic Minds, a quite popular bodybuilding and supplement website very similar to T-Nation, but with fewer advertisement articles and less pushing for toxic and useless supplements. While their article on the Carnivore Diet vs. The Mediterranean Diet was a total mess of being totally clueless of bioavailability and what nutrients actually are, their latest article on insulin is a perfect example of getting some things right while being

Anyone with basic knowledge within physiology, biology and proper human nutrition knows that time-restricted eating (TRE,) as in Intermittent Fasting, or a “feeding window” that lets you enter a fasting state before the next day’s feeding window is extremely important for maximum health, and especially for detoxification. Yesterday, September 30, 2024, the pharmaceutical- and government shills at Medical News Today published an article on time-restricted eating and the latest “research.” Considering their agenda of keeping
