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 […]

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,

The pharmaceutical- and food industry shills, and complete imbeciles, (which goes without mentioning,) at VeryWell Health recently posted an article about what protein sources are best for those just starting out their “fitness journey.” Well, that’s an easy one. I worked in that industry for over 20 years at the highest level. Looking at the history of bodybuilding, fitness, and strength/power sports, raw beef, raw eggs, and raw milk has always been the staple

When visiting T-Nation, a former bodybuilding web magazine that emerged in the late 1990’s and unsuccessfully tried to compete with my IronMag Online during 1999 to 2002 and that of lately have turned into a supplement advertisement website averages about 2,000 views per article, almost what some of my less popular articles average here on bartoll.se. However, one of their recent articles has got close to 22,000 views, and of course, it’s about “dieting”

Today we return to Verywell Health, aka., VeryBad Health if you actually were to follow their diabolical advice on nutrition, or more to the point, “Verywell Dead,” as you’ll likely feel like a walking dead and actually die a lot sooner. This time they covered a backwards, and frankly put, useless study, exploring the relationship between exercise and insulin in the brain and the risk of developing dementia.

Once again we return to T-Nation and their COO Chris Shugart and his misaligned obsession for protein. This time he titles himself a rebel, as in fighting the obviously corrupt and evil establishment. Well, we’ll see about that. Bring it on then, Chris. “The average person is pretty below average these days. About 74% of US adults are overweight or obese. It’s perfectly normal to be over-fat and under-muscled. Given that, your goal is

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

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

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
