Sometimes there are studies that are so obviously unnecessary as they simply acknowledge what we have known for hundreds of years, even though they try to twist them a little, as in this study using a whey protein supplement instead of simply increasing animal-based protein. Let’s see what Examine.com had to say. Quick summary In this randomized controlled trial in 93 participants with obesity, one group was assigned a daily dose of 15 grams […]

Winter is coming. At least that is what it already feels like. We have had some mornings with only 7C (44F) and the temperature during the days now struggle to reach 18C (64F.) As a result, my time outdoors with the dogs has declined a bit, to only about 3 or 4 hours total. Still, I’ve managed to keep my 35-minute training sessions at the gym within the 5 to 6 days a week

A Bad Diet And A Sedentary Lifestyle Increases Dementia Risk — And Exercise Is Not The Solution

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

Today we return to the shills at Ironmagazine and the monkey ringleader, Matt Weik, who recently tried to tackle new research on dementia. When a subpar personal trainer like Matt, who lacks training in human nutrition, anthropology, biology, physiology and biochemistry tries to tackle more complex issues, the outcome can be both hilarious and sad at the same time. Let’s see how he did this time. “I’m not going to sugarcoat things… getting old

This morning we returned to Fox News to look at their take on a recent ridiculous study on obesity that popped up this Friday on several websites. Let’s see what it is all about, what should be obvious and how much the researchers and the Fox News staff got wrong. “Obesity among adults continues to be a major public health issue in the United States and other economically developed countries, according to the Centers

Once again we return to Examine.com for another study that proves what we already know, but the unintelligent researchers and the monkeys at Examine.com don’t even understand the results of the study. Kind of hilarious and sad at the same time. Quick Summary In this 5-day randomized crossover trial of 16 vegetarian men and women (average age of 24,) the subjects were randomly assigned to consume 1.2 or 2.0 g/kg/day of protein, and were

VShred Diet? All Commercial- And Fitness-Oriented Diets Suck!

Today we’ll visit Men’s Health and a review of the VShred Diet. While the review is not entirely bad, it’s noticeable that the author, Abby Langer, and the “expert” she consulted are not well-versed in human nutrition nor physiology or biochemistry, so I’ll add my thoughts along the way. As the article is very long, I’ll cut out a few of the unimportant parts. “IF YOU’RE ANYWHERE on the internet on a regular basis,

If there’s one thing the fitness industry preys on, it’s the desperation and lack of knowledge in people looking to lose body fat — and the evil shills at T-Nation are no exception.A few days ago they posted an article on the ridiculous idea to boost your metabolic rate while sleeping to burn a tiny little bit of extra energy. Let’s see what nonsense they spewed out this time. “’Burn fat while you sleep!’

Consuming Most Of Your Food During The Day And Not Eating In The Evening Improves Cardiometabolic Health

By / / Health and Fitness / 6 minutes of reading

About a week ago, I covered another study showing how important it is not to eat in the evening or close to going to bed as having your last meal earlier in the day improved sleep onset, total sleep time, and sleep quality by quite extreme measures. This is logical as any ongoing digestion will interfere with sleep. If you have not read it, please do as it will add to this article and
