Just Another Dangerous Scam: The Noom Diet

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

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 […]

Insulin, Glucose Toxicity, And Fat Loss

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

Bariatric Weight-Loss Surgery: Never Submit Yourself To Surgery Unless Seriously Injured!

By / / Diet and Nutrition, Health and Fitness / 11 minutes of reading

One of the worst and possible most evil ways to manipulate weak-minded and gullible people, is to maim them for life through surgical procedures, such as bariatric surgery, or “weight-loss surgery” to reduce the size of the stomach in order to limit the amount of food someone can eat in a day. Anyone with an ounce of intelligence should be able to figure out that such an approach is a very, very bad idea. And

Calories, As In Heat Units, Are Irrelevant To Human Physiology

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

Overeating and Protein. Calories Does Not Matter

By / / Body Transformation / Bodybuilding, Diet and Nutrition, Health and Fitness / 10 minutes of reading

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 For Athletes And Workouts

Today we revisit the shill Dr. Axe and his staff’s latest attempt to write an article about ‘workout nutrition’ and food for athletes. On June 23, I reviewed a similar article from Healthline, which was, well, really bad. Let’s see how this ‘Rachael Link’ does, and I’ll add my thoughts from working at the absolute elite-level in this field for more than 20 years. “It’s no secret that hitting the gym is important when

Healthcare in 2024: Delaying Diabetes by a Few Years Instead of Preventing or Curing it

By / / Diet and Nutrition, Health and Fitness / 7 minutes of reading

Today we return to the pharmaceutical- and government shill website Medical News Today and a disturbing trend that flies below the radar of most NPCs. You would think that “healthcare” should be about preventing illness, and once it happens, it would be about correcting whatever might cause illness. Well, there’s no money or recurring customers in that, and also, that would expose all their lies about what actually causes disease. Instead, “healthcare” is all

Forskolin is Simply a Poison

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

The other day, T-Nation published another advertisement article for their toxic and useless supplements. This time it was about the active toxic substance forskolin from the herb coleus forskohlii — and they have pushed this crap many times before in several different advertisements disguised as “scientific” articles. Well, as with all misunderstood “natural” toxic compounds, forskolin has been studied since 1981 in vitro to better understand the cellular processes governed by cyclic adenosine monophosphate
