The Dave Bautista Controversy And Going Plant-Based Will Destroy You

Here’s another article I really didn’t feel like writing at first, as I had never heard of this ex-wrestler ‘Dave Bautista’ until his “transformation” pictures started circulating on social media and then, of course, the clueless writer Matt Weik of “Ironmagazine” had to write about it.So, let’s humor him while stating some undeniable facts. “The internet seems to be raging on fire lately with the recent images of Dave Bautista. More specifically, his weight […]

There’s No Limit To Protein Absorption And Utilization

One of the worst foodie websites on the internet, “Eat This, Not That,” recently posted an article on protein and how much you should consume in one meal. The really hilarious part is that they, following the post-2020 absurd trend, have added a “fact checked” claim on the article. Well, let’s see about that. And this will be a quick one, as I’m pressed on time today. “Protein is one of the four macronutrients

Workout Nutrition Recommendations Still Outdated in 2024

By Joachim Bartoll / June 23, 2024 / Body Transformation / Bodybuilding, Diet and Nutrition / 11 minutes of reading

Today, for a laugh, we return to the Big Pharma and Government shill-site known as Healthline, one of the worst places for pure disinformation and propaganda on anything health- and nutrition related. A few days ago they posted an article on workout nutrition by Arlene Semeco, MS, RD and Celia Shatzman, which was “medically reviewed” by Jared Meacham, Ph.D., RD, CSCS. That simply means that a bunch of trained and indoctrinated monkeys wrote a

Intermittent Fasting: The Importance of Actually Eating and The Difference Between Men and Women

By Joachim Bartoll / April 23, 2024 / Body Transformation / Bodybuilding, Diet and Nutrition, Fasting / Dry Fasting, Health and Fitness / 10 minutes of reading

Muscle & Fitness recently posted an article on Intermittent Fasting and differences between men and women. And since a sane human being actually acknowledge that there are only two genders and that there are differences between the sexes, this is an interesting topic. Also, as with all these ‘Intermittent Fasting’ articles, they never mention the real important part, that of actually eating. Their article begins with quoting a 2020 survey where, allegedly, 24 percent

Cyclic Dextrin is Toxic Crap

By Joachim Bartoll / March 30, 2024 / Body Transformation / Bodybuilding, Diet and Nutrition / 10 minutes of reading

The supplement-shills over at the “fitness website” T Nation continues with their disguised advertisement articles based on flawed science and backwards thinking. This time it is (once again,) their CCO Chris Shugart, who obviously knows absolutely nothing about human physiology, pushing Cyclic Dextrin also referred to as Highly Branched Cluster Dextrin (HBCD,) a type of high-molecular-weight maltodextrin. Now, HBCD is nothing new, it’s been around for a long time. It’s simply a dextrin, produced

Fewer and Larger Meals is Our Natural Preference

By Joachim Bartoll / February 9, 2024 / Body Transformation / Bodybuilding, Diet and Nutrition / 11 minutes of reading

Yesterday, the Bodybuilding and Fitness website T-Nation posted an article about a study from late 2023 on the effects of a single 100 grams of protein serving after a workout. Back in the day, people used to have some weird belief that you could only absorb about 30 grams of protein per meal, which of course is extremely ridiculous (and we’ll get to that.) Actually, a lot of people who are oblivious to the

Do This Instead – Meat and Eggs

By Joachim Bartoll / December 2, 2023 / Body Transformation / Bodybuilding, Diet and Nutrition / 7 minutes of reading

As Saturnalia, or “Christmas,” approaches with people finding excuses to shovel toxic life-shortening fat-building crap down their pieholes, Chris Shugart of T-Nation is back with a “One Protein Shake a Day for Muscle” bulking-up article for boys and gals who want to be swole without looking like fat pigs. Always with the f**king artificial man-made crappy protein powders and shakes. Jeez. Shugart begins his article with advocating for a “smarter” bulk approach with gaining

Skinny Fat and the ABC of Body Composition for Women

By Joachim Bartoll / November 18, 2023 / Animal-Based Nutrition / Carnivore, Diet and Nutrition, Health and Fitness / 9 minutes of reading

Today we once again return to T-Nation and their ‘Chief Content Officer’ Chris Shugart and another breakdown of a study from 2020 on women and body composition. The study was focused on what they call “Normal-Weight Obesity,” or simply ‘NWO,’ as in a funny pun on ‘New World Order,’ as we see these ‘skinny fat’ people everywhere nowadays. Actually, Shugart explains it well in his funny introduction; “Talk to the average out-of-date dietician and
