    Carbs, and healthy fats when and how??

    I believe it is important to keep a solid serving of your carbs pre and post workout. But thats for the simple fact that it gives you an elevated blood sugar level (energy) when you need it most and the muscle is primed for glycogen replenishment immediately following. As far as a weight...

    Carbs, and healthy fats when and how??

    ACtually it would make no difference if you ate 6 meals at 500 calories or 3 meals at 1000 calories. The thermic effect of the food is the same and will yield the same metabolic effects. There are guys having wonderful success using intermittent fasting where they consume 90% of the days...

    My cabergolean log

    This is the first I have seen your log, Ben. You are a MACHINE in the gym. That is some big weight you are throwing around. I am anxious to see what deadlift day brings! And over 4000 cals, eh? You are a lucky man. I got a chuckle about being able to grow while doing HIIT cardio...

    Introducing myself....

    Thanks man. Yea, I actually cant remember the last time I did heavy flat bench press. It tears my shoulders up more than its worth. I feel I get similar (if not better) chest/triceps activation and my shoulders dont bother me at all.

    Carbs, and healthy fats when and how??

    I wouldnt worry about separating carbs and fats. Your total calorie intake vs. expenditure and the total ratio of the three macro nutrients is what matters most. You will find that fats satiate you when combined with carbs as opposed to eating carbs alone. So if you are naturally a fat ass...

    Carbs, and healthy fats when and how??

    I agree with the above......protein is too high and carbs are too low. Carbs are much more anabolic than protein and much better for performance and metabolism. Dial the protein down to 1g per lb of bodyweight and adjust the carbs and fat so that your weight gain is slow and steady.

    vitamin D supplementation REALLY that important?

    1500 IU of vitamin D can be absorbed within minutes of full sun exposure. Even at dosages of 10,000 IU a day, you are really not anywhere near dangerous levels of D supplementation. You can get that kind of a dosage within a half hour-1hr of sun exposure. So....if you spend a lot of time in...

    The difference is that battery acid is very toxic even in small dosages. There arent any legit studies (to my knowledge) showing any negatives to artificial sweeteners. Every study I have read has dosages given to rats that would be equivalent to eating a 5 gallon bucket of aspartame every day...

    fake sweetners

    Well, I hate to be bro-science buster, but it just aint true. When I first began bodybuilding I ate very consciously considering GI of the carb sources. I lost fat and had decent success. Following my first competitive season I started to associate with some guys that put the emphasis on food...

    fake sweetners

    Insulin control is important if you eat by "feel" because insulin secretion has a lot to do with satiety. Most bodybuilders count their calories and macros and in that case, insulin secretion is a very minor issue. On a bulk.....I might tend to agree with you more. But when you are in a...

    fake sweetners

    Im not sure which part of my post you are referring to. I dont think we need a reference for the fact that unless there are calories to be stored, then fat storage doesnt take place. That seems like common sense. And the calories in those sweeteners are minimal at best. If you are drinking a...

    fake sweetners

    Gotcha. The insulin response to artificial sweetener is minimal at best (probably non-existent). But in order for anything to be stored as fat, it has to contain calories. An insulin response cannot trigger storage if there is nothing to store. Insulin is really only a very small piece of...

    Holey smokes. Id be careful. The issue id be concerned with is that there is no fat in your diet! Unless you are eating dark meat chicken, I hope you dont plan on running that for any extended time. If thats chicken breast you are eating, your fat is less than 10g a day. My 130 lb wife has...

    A lot of foods elicit an insulin response. Even protein powder will elicit an unsulin response. What difference does the insulin response make?

    vitamin D supplementation REALLY that important?

    One of the most important vitamins to supplement with....especially for guys in the north where we rarely see sunlight in the winter. I noticed a big difference in mood and immunity when mega dosing vit D. I take 8-10,000 IU a day. Also, make sure your magnesium is at a very healthy level as...
