That question was posted as “was asked this by a friend, how would you answer?” by one of our dear members over at the uncensored forum at Ungovernable.se. Well, the first question we need to ask is what does the macronutrient breakdown of human breast milk look like? Per liter it looks like this: If using the pseudo-science of calories, the energy breakdown would look like this: However, the fat content is the most […]

Muscle Glycogen Replenishment After Exhaustive Exercise — Carb-Fed vs. Fat Adapted

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

This morning I stumbled across a new study summarized by Examine.com and I thought it would be a great opportunity to explain glycogen replenishment from physical activity and the rather large differences depending on your diet and how your physiology operates — as in running on a toxic glucose metabolism dependent on unnatural exogenous carbohydrates or running our natural fat adapted metabolism relying on fat, ketones and glucose from gluconeogenesis. So, let’s see what

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

Today we return to the supplement pushers and bro-science fraudsters at T-Nation for another atrocious article promoting a very unhealthy and life-shortening diet and lifestyle. I know that I have touched on this subject many times, but it needs repeating from many different angles — as in this case about consuming toxic carbohydrates to “improve” the next day’s workout. Let’s see what the imbeciles had to say on the subject. “The gains you make

Today we’ll visit Science Daily and a new study on dementia and Alzheimer’s and how unused glycogen (stored glucose) can cause tau-related damage that causes or progresses these so-called “diseases.” “A new study from scientists at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging has revealed a surprising player in the battle against Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia: brain sugar metabolism. Published in Nature Metabolism, the research uncovers how breaking down glycogen —

Backwards Thinking: Triggering A Fight-Or-Flight Stress Response From Toxic Dark Chocolate To Feel Better

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

Here we go again with the incredible imbeciles at T-Nation (Chris Shugart) and their ever repeating snakeoil tactics to sell you toxic and totally worthless supplements.  This time they’re promoting unhealthy dark chocolate and their similar supplement to feed unnatural gut bacteria to produce something we normally produce ourselves. Well, let’s see what nonsense the little monkey spat out this time. If a five is “extremely down” but they’re only four points, I guess

I was hoping this ridiculous and extremely harmful fad would die out shortly after it was pushed out on social media by disinformation agents and paid shills, but gullible dimwits are still pushing this psy-op nonsense. While most of the information in this article is already present in my carbohydrate archive, this will be targeted to these idiotic approaches to make it easier to find. This extremely limiting concept of only focusing on fat

AGEs And Glycation 101: Any Kind Of Cooking Is Bad, But High-Temperature Cooking Is Almost As Deadly As Carbohydrates

By / / Diet and Nutrition, Health and Fitness / 6 minutes of reading

Today we return to Examine.com and a summary of a recent 2-week randomized crossover trial where the researchers explored different cooking methods as the link between advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and detrimental health outcomes.  We’ve known for ages that high temperature, and especially prolonged exposure to high temperatures while cooking food, especially protein, creates AGEs, and this study adds to this growing mountain of evidence. So, I chose to write this article to
