    Question about low-carb approach and fat intake...

    Where do you get that? Bulk buy? I'm in the UK, and a quick search doesn't reveal anywhere it can be obtained.

    Question about low-carb approach and fat intake...

    What was your intra carb of choice and what quantity, if this matters? I've used Vitargo in the past myself.

    Article: STARBUCKS IS TRYING TO GO PALEO

    Carrageenan is bad stuff. I've been seeing it creep in to more products lately and it is a concern. But I rarely come across people who've even heard of it. The word needs to be spread about this stuff... Invalid Link Removed

    Question about low-carb approach and fat intake...

    Many thanks. We seem to have very simliar eating habits actually, so I can see this being pretty straightforward for me... just a case of increasing the amounts. Did you take any heed of some advice I've read about keeping fats lower at night, or is that simply bro science mythology?

    Question about low-carb approach and fat intake...

    Thanks for the info, and sorry for all the questions lol! Did you have any set structure to your fat intake during the week? It's one area I've had trouble researching, in regards to the recommended break down of fats, Omega 3/6, saturated, mono etc. etc. as there's a fair bit of conflicting...

    Under armour buys MyFitnessPal

    I use MFP every day, but it has been very buggy for me lately. All kinds of weirdness going on with the main page and calories displaying wrong. Will be interesting to see how it develops now. Hopefully won't change much, as when it works, it works exceptionally well. I didn't even know this...

    Question about low-carb approach and fat intake...

    Cool, thanks for the info. What were your go-to carb sources, lots of rice and potatoes? Did you notice any difference if you kept them complex, or if you had more sugar in there? I don't respond very well to large quantities of wheat myself, and oats don't sit right in my stomach, so I'm...

    Question about low-carb approach and fat intake...

    Sounds good. What were your macros out of curiosity during the week vs weekend? Did you carb up both days or just one?

    Question about low-carb approach and fat intake...

    What was your protocol for the carb ups exactly? Still within your calorie limits I assume, but just replacing a significant amount of the fats with carbs? I'm well used to monitoring calories/macros, so I know how important that is.

    Question about low-carb approach and fat intake...

    I'm curious how you structure your fat intake at that level... do you break it down, ensure you get a certain amount of saturated, omega 3, 6 etc.?

    Question about low-carb approach and fat intake...

    Well, I'm not overweight, for a start. I'm in good shape, relatively lean (prob about 12-13% bf right now), so I was toying with this idea just to try something different for a change. I have done the ZERO carb thing before, and I DID NOT like it. Felt like crap and my training tanked. I...

    Question about low-carb approach and fat intake...

    I never have carbs pre-workout. I've tried it to see if it makes a difference, but it doesn't. So below 50g then, same question applies... fat will be pushing 160g+ per day, except for carb-up day once a week. How does that sound?

    Article: 4 Biggest Lies of The Biggest Loser

    Ha, well you have a point there I must say. Kind of an ironic article given that pretty much the entire fitness industry is predicated on a MASSIVE lie... that supplements will get you the physique you've always dreamed of! The kind of people watching 'The Biggest Loser' aren't reading this...

    Question about low-carb approach and fat intake...

    If you are on a low-carb diet, is there a recommended daily intake of fat? Typically, I've always just hit my protein and fat guidelines for the day (approx 1-1.2g/lb and 0.4-5g/lb bodyweight respectively), with carbs simply filling up the rest of whatever calories I have left. However... if...

    Article: Fat Loss & High-Protein Breakfast

    "That means that the more we eat later in the day, or the later we eat in the day, the more likely it is that our meal will be converted to fat instead of muscle. Late day eating is also associated with a slower metabolic rate, decline in glucose tolerance, and less carbohydrate oxidation." So...

    Article: American Sniper Workout

    Sorry, are you saying you CANNOT get sex pack abs from diet and exercise?! Oh dear. I guess half this forum are juicers then lol! Have you even seen pictures of Beiber? He's a lean bean. He is NOT on steroids. As for Jackman, he trains for months on end, his gains are not unrealistic if you have...

    Article: American Sniper Workout

    I know, I was only joking... :) There is no evidence to suggest Cooper took steroids, and no reason to think so based on anything, other than someone simply saying so. Connery was Scottish and I don't think he's one of 'America's favourite actors', and correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty...

    Article: American Sniper Workout

    No absolutely, but I find it funny how some people seem to assume steroids the moment anyone makes ANY kind of significant physical change. While it was enjoyable, well acted/directed and entertaining (on the surface anyway), I really don't rate this movie. It's just FAR too black and white...

    Article: American Sniper Workout

    As has already been mentioned, when this is your JOB and you're being paid MILLIONS OF DOLLARS for it, do you REALLY think it would be an insurmountable natural challenge? Cooper is serious about his craft, and I have NO DOUBT he put in 110% effort to achieve this naturally. I don't understand...
