Forcing The Body to Use More Energy By Increased Detoxification Is Not A Good Idea

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 the supplement-shills at T-Nation and their leading writer Chris Shugart with an article about sarcopenia — the progressive and generalized loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength. Let’s see how Chris tries to fit this subject into the world of fitness and strength training, and what supplements he would like his gullible readers to purchase this time around. “Lifters tune out when they hear the word sarcopenia. That’s an old-fart

Overeating and Protein. Calories Does Not Matter

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

Food Addiction and Junk Food Withdrawal

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

Yesterday, Chris Shugart of T-Nation published an article on the subject of food addiction and withdrawal. Considering that all they do is push toxic supplements, one can only guess what his “solution” will be. A shit ton of protein powder perhaps, since protein can be quite satiating? Well, let’s see what he has to say, and I’ll add my thoughts along the way. “Dave needs a hit, man. It’s been a couple of hours

Fat Loss 101: Leptin And Hunger Is Not An Issue If You’re Fat Adapted and Fully Nourished

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

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

The False Calcium and pH Disinformation Psy-Op And a High Animal Protein Diet

By / / Animal-Based Nutrition / Carnivore, Diet and Nutrition, Health and Fitness / 7 minutes of reading

You know that you’ve made it as a disinformation agent, as a shill for the plant-based food industry, when the top-dog of controlled opposition, Dr. Mercola, features your juvenile garbage on his website. Yes, I’m talking about Dr. James DiNicolantoni, a gatekeeping shill that mixes some nutritional truths, such as the ketogenic diet and the benefits of cholesterol, with a lot of deception and lies. And that is the only conclusion I can draw

High-Protein Breakfast for Better Muscle Gain?

By / / Body Transformation / Bodybuilding, Diet and Nutrition / 8 minutes of reading

Once again we return to T-Nation and an article focused on protein and muscle gain based on a study they found that can help them sell more protein supplements. While I do agree that you need more than ‘one meal a day’ to efficiently build muscle mass and maintain an athletic physique, let’s see where they go with this — and if the study is even relevant to world case scenarios (which they almost

It’s Simple. All ‘Eat Less’ Diets Suck!

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

The other day, the bodybuilding and fitness online publication T-Nation posted another ‘dieting’ article. This time it was Chris Shugart writing a piece on a badly executed study comparing what some call “rigid dieting” and the even more retarded “flexible dieting.” As I’ve actually coached in bodybuilding and fitness from the mid 90’s to around 2016, about 20+ years on a highly professional level, this will surely be interesting, or a big laugh.
