By / / Diet and Nutrition / 13 minutes of reading

Remember the misguided obsession that Chris Shugart of T-Nation has for protein? Well, the imbecile Matt Weik of the competing Ironmagazine is now trying to follow in Shugart’s footsteps, and to be honest he stumbles quite a lot, as usual. Let’s see what crap he scattered all over his poor readers this time. “I was cruising the internet the other day and stumbled upon some information that I found interesting. The topic was that […]

Forcing The Body to Use More Energy By Increased Detoxification Is Not A Good Idea

By / / Diet and Nutrition, Health and Fitness / 14 minutes of reading

Today we return to T-Nation and their clueless and protein-obsessed writer Chris Shugart, a guy I’ve had to correct more times than I care to remember. This time he’s once again raving about the alleged metabolic/thermogenic effects of protein, which in reality are almost negligible. We already know that protein is used for several processes in the body, processes that require energy — so about 20 to 30 % of the energy content in

A few days ago, the fitness- and bodybuilding wannabe writer Chris Shugart of T-Nation posted an article on what he deemed the “world’s easiest diet strategy.” Well, that’s quite a statement from someone I’ve had to correct hundreds of times while doing my article reviews. Let’s see what he has come up with, and I’ll add my thoughts as an actual coach with 25+ years of real-world experience with hundreds of competing athletes at

Food Addiction and Junk Food Withdrawal

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

Yesterday, Chris Shugart of T-Nation published an article on the subject of food addiction and withdrawal. Considering that all they do is push toxic supplements, one can only guess what his “solution” will be. A shit ton of protein powder perhaps, since protein can be quite satiating? Well, let’s see what he has to say, and I’ll add my thoughts along the way. “Dave needs a hit, man. It’s been a couple of hours

Solein Air Protein — Another Scam Riding on the Climate Change Hoax

By / / Diet and Nutrition / 5 minutes of reading

The once pillar of the Bodybuilding community back in the 60’s, 70’s and early 80’s, Joe Weider’s Muscle Builder, renamed to ‘Muscle & Fitness,’ is nowadays not even a bleak copy of the original magazine, but more of an politically correct agenda-driven “fitness” magazine to keep people trapped in the backwards accepted pseudo-science of exercise and nutrition. Thus, it comes as no surprise that they recently published an article about Solar Foods’ Protein Powder

By / / Body Transformation / Bodybuilding, Diet and Nutrition / 8 minutes of reading

Once again we return to T-Nation and an article focused on protein and muscle gain based on a study they found that can help them sell more protein supplements. While I do agree that you need more than ‘one meal a day’ to efficiently build muscle mass and maintain an athletic physique, let’s see where they go with this — and if the study is even relevant to world case scenarios (which they almost

Skinny Fat and the ABC of Body Composition for Women

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

More Studies on High Protein Diets and Fat Loss – What Really Happened

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

Here we go again, it’s only been a little over a week, and the “Chief Content Officer” Chris Shugart over at T-Nation is yet again advocating for high protein diets, while advertising their own chemical shit-storm of a protein powder. While I do agree that most people need more animal protein in their diet, and especially animal fats, I do not necessarily agree with the conclusions drawn from these studies or the recommended approaches
