I think you meant fats get stored more easier because the process required is easier then protein or carbohydrates!
nope, sure don't. The insulin effect from additional carbs is more likely to force fat storage than the same amount of additional calories from fat, just due to that insulin difference.
I've heard that used plenty of times by nutritionists spreading incorrect information.
Right use your head, carbs don't hold an unlimited amount of water. you are pretty lucky in average individual if water retention from glycogen amounts to 4lbs, in longer term studies that difference would disappear over a 12 week study. Try again.
Hey, when i'm wrong, i'll admit it, but i'm not here. In large scale demographic studies involving thousands, at similar calories higher carbohydrate intake (particularly sugar + refined flour) is very strongly correlated with higher bodyfat, higher heart disease, higher triglycerides and higher VLDL fat.
Well, vs lower fat diets and/or protein diets, at least it insures maximum testosterone levels, as well as abundant protein.
And you do realize that most teachers have curriculums that they have to adhere to even if this disagree with right? Most likely your teacher was just an idiot. I was told in my nutrition class that eating more than 60g protein would damage my kidneys for Christ sake. Easy is 100% correct! The lipid hypothesis is unfounded and has been challenged and debunked several times already.
Kev do you have info on that study? I read a mention to this study in either protein power or 4hr body (I can't remember but I think one of them) and I tried to find the actual study and I couldn't find it.
Definitely a good diet to help you get down to a solid weight. I would never use it below 15% bodyfat since I really think it can be catabolic.
I disagree, provided you're doing weekly refeeds theres no reason this diet would be any less catabolic than another. I live entirely on a diet thats very similar to the AD, bulking or cutting.
I cant seem to bring the full text back up, but its this study: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/13347103
Thats the name of the game, I'm going to school to be a RD and at times you just have to accept the "traditional approaches" in order to excel in academics. Like I've said, they simply base the curriculum on outdated methodologies and studies.
It is largely political which is sad. Look at the food pyramid and guess how much support a high fat, no grains high protein diet gets ? But all evidence points to that sort of diet having the lowest incidence of obesity, diabetes, cancer, and a bunch of other issues. Wonder why obesity has skyrocketed since the 70s? That was when children who grew up hearing the AHA's "low fat, high carb with fiber" message startes becoming adults, and began raising their children eating less eggs, less bacon, but more waffles and pancakes.
Monsanto.
wow, that is good to know ... i had been stressing over the keto stix readings for apparently nothing ...
Go watch the documentary Fathead.
30g isn't bad, so long as its moderately spread out. Have you been tracking calories accurately? Using a scale to weigh everything, measuring cups/spoons etc ?
Measure only w/ cups & spoons ... I don't have a food scale ... may need to buy one soon ... what are your thoughts on the calories tho .... i read suggestions of body wt X 15 through 18 which is even more than I'm currently having.
