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 […]

Resveratrol is a Toxic Defense Chemical and Has Zero Anti-Aging Effects

The supplement-pushers at T-Nation are back with another advertisement-article about their unnatural and toxic supplements, this time with the claim that the polyphenol ‘Resveratrol,’ a potent poison, has “anti-ageing” effects trough ‘Angiogenesis.’ Well, I totally debunked Resveratrol back in January 5, 2024, when former T-Nation writer TC Luoma wrote some complete pseudo-science garbage about polyphenols and Resveratrol in particular. To make a short recap, I’ll recite some of what I wrote in that article.

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

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.

Eat This, Not That: Worst of the Worst?

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

This review was a request by some of my readers. When looking at ranking websites based on traffic provided by Google Analytics, the website “eatthis.com” recently climbed from rank 8 to rank 3 at the beginning of this year with a monthly 11.6 million visitors within the category of “Nutrition Diets and Fitness” in the US. While I’m not sure if this was due to heavy bot-induced traffic brought on by their Freemasonic funding,

Testosterone Supplement Bollocks

By / / Body Transformation / Bodybuilding, Health and Fitness / 7 minutes of reading

Yesterday, April 29, T Nation posted a new and very distasteful article on increasing Testosterone “naturally” trough supplementation. Let’s see what their editorial staff had to say — as they now avoid any responsibility by withholding the name of the (likely retarded) author/authors. They begin the article by a second sub-headline masked as a very distasteful statement, by posing the question, “Not Ready for the Needle? Boost Testosterone Naturally.” This kind of implies that

If You Get Hungry, You’re Doing it Wrong!

This morning, on April 7, which also happens to be my 50th birthday, we return to my roots of human physiology, fat-loss, performance, and the bastardized pseudo-scientific field of nutrition, where I’ve worked more than 30 years at the absolute top-level.Today we’ll look at the latest article published by T Nation, a piece on “appetite suppression” written by Chris Shugart, where they claim that you don’t need an expensive injection to curb appetite during

Fasting Works Best for Fat Loss

By / / Body Transformation / Bodybuilding, Diet and Nutrition / 7 minutes of reading

As for some causal Sunday reading, we return to T-Nation and a new article by Chris Shugart based on a failed study where researchers looked at three idiotic strategies for fat loss. Chris Shugart summarized the study by asking three questions as to how to approach fat loss. These three questions were: Well, all three approaches are idiotic. The most common one in the fitness industry is simply somewhere between 1 and 2 combined

Protein Preloading is Totally Stupid and Unnecessary

By / / Body Transformation / Bodybuilding, Diet and Nutrition, Health and Fitness / 5 minutes of reading

Look who’s back. It’s Chris Shugart, once again obsessing over protein and fat loss. However, I can’t really blame him as I kind of did the same back around 1997 to 2006, before I discovered the incredible powers of fasting. Funny enough, while I was in decent shape in the late 90’s and also in 2003, it was not until I found fasting in 2007 and going fully “ketogenic” with a base of animal-based
