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

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

By / / Diet and Nutrition, Health and Fitness / 9 minutes of reading

Today we visit Examine.com, a website dedicated to review and “analyze” the latest “scientific research,” with an extra focus on nutrition and supplementation (which is extremely toxic and dangerous.) While they lack the knowledge and experience to actually do what they claim, it’s still a good source to keep track of all the studies and research papers being published within these pseudo-scientific fields — and simply from Examine’s summary, you can tell if it’s

Insulin, Glucose Toxicity, And Fat Loss

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

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

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

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

Today we return to the pharmaceutical shill-website Medical News Today for a perfect example of the inverted pseudo-science that has infected the whole world as “Nutrition Science.” I should know, I studied and worked within that retarded sham for almost 30 years. Fortunately, I was a “low-carb” ketogenic guy, going against the mainstream, which saved my clients from the incredible harm this backwards thinking does to people all over the world on a daily

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

Bitter Polyphenols in Plant-Based Foods Are Deadly Poisons

By / / Diet and Nutrition, Health and Fitness / 8 minutes of reading

Today we return to Medical News Today to look at a new study that is a prime example of how researchers has no idea about what they actually found out — or they know very well, and twist it backwards to fit their agenda of keeping people weak, “diseased,” docile, dependent, and most importantly, cutting their real life expectancy in half. And that is where the plant-based agenda fits in, a sneaky and extremely
