    Best Foods for TESTOSTERONE?!

    luckily with beef, there is less quantity of EFA vs something like chicken. Chicken despite being lower in fat, has more omega-6 than a lean cut of steak. Even corn-fed beef is okay. It does not have as good of a O3:O6 ratio as grass fed but I would be more worried about eating the cheap...

    Purified Water VS. Distilled Water?!?!

    fruits and vegetables are very enzyme rich. Potatoes instead of grains for instance is a good way to improve digestion. I do advocate drinking distilled water. A close second is deionized water. -Alex

    Oats vs Fiber One bars

    Most protein sources are inflammatory (omega-6) meaning your already getting enough if not more omega-6 from your protein intake (for bodybuilders, protein intake/meat consumption is high). If your getting a lot of your carbs from oats the extra omega-6 adds up. I was simply making the point...

    saturated fats are good now...

    fattier foods are fine. But think of nature as it exists without processing of food. -fruits= high sugar, low/no fat -meats we ate (paleo) were fattier and higher calorie, but carb-less **paleo diets were quite low carb **other people in more tropical regions may have eaten a lot of fruit but...

    Diet Advice! What would you Change?

    I took a look at your macro's: -Your protein comes out to be about 335g per day. (not including sources like veggies, almonds, beans etc.). so probably around 350g give or take. at 162lbs and an assumed 10-12% bodyfat you are about 145-150lbs lean. I think a lot of people jump to the conclusion...

    saturated fats are good now...

    I agree. Its important to get a firm understanding of an issue before blindly promoting it. Such a thing leads to great over-exaggeration and things become misapplied Alex

    saturated fats are good now...

    Everything in this industry tends to get blown out of proportion. It is no new news that saturated fats in conjunction with the right minerals and nutrients can improve things like testosterone production. However this is no excuse to eat a few pounds of 80% ground beef and a liter of whole milk...

    Purified Water VS. Distilled Water?!?!

    the myth regarding distilled water and nutrient/mineral loss is nonsense. Its not founded on anything but anecdotal propaganda. We are not meant to get our minerals from water, rather fruits, veggies and other foods with substantial quantities of them. The amounts in water are trivial. What's...

    Oats vs Fiber One bars

    I know that virtually the entire fitness community loves oats. I however do not prefer them for several reasons: -Phytic acid content (hinders digestion and nutrient absorption) -High omega-6 content (conducive to an inflammatory environment) If you love oats, or if they work well for you, by...

    Grilled Beef Bergers ?

    naturally if you grill something, some of the fat will drip out and burn up. Grilling is one way to reduce the fat content of meats, especially fattier meats like red meat. Alex

    post workout whey with water or milk?

    Milk is "ok" if you can benefit from the added calories/sugar and if you can tolerate the lactose. Some cannot and it hinders digestion efficiency which in no way, shape or form improves their post workout nutrient absorption. I tend to stay without milk in my diet, and most of my clients...

    Best Foods for TESTOSTERONE?!

    Small increases in testosterone over time may amount to a significant raise in baseline testosterone. I've found the best results with basic recommendations to my clients: -Try to eat red meat(lean cuts, grass-fed is preferred), salmon, or omega-3 eggs once per day -Take supplemental omega-3's...
