    User experience with saturated fat.

    Demons OUT! From what I've read saturated fat does not increase inflammation unless you pair it with sugar or a high carbohydrate diet (like >200g carb/day). Not only will low levels of sat fat make your joints feel rusty, it can also lead to clinical depression. If you just Google "saturated...

    Mat Lalonde on Auto****y It'd be interesting to hear Mat (or anyone, really) discuss the rationale, mechanisms, and his experimenting with inducing muscle auto****y (auto-fay-gee, correct spelling is apparently censored). From what I understand, it's basically protein fasting to promote...

    Vid of Carl's workout

    Please do it Carl, and also demo the calf-hold exercise. I tried it as described, but realized that I was still making a bunch of assumptions about the details. Thanks.

    SHR 6/8 Sleep On Command Followup PLUS Effects Of BCP On Body Recomp & Fat Loss

    Carl, please ask about the importance of sleeping in a pitch-black room. Is it that crucial? Also, I sleep on demand with 1mg of melotonin (only on evenings when I'm jack3d up from a late workout), what's your guest's take on using small doses of melotonin?

    The best diet for a natural to cut with

    You've got good answers above, but I have to add that it's very important for to stop eating estrogen-mimicing soy products ASAP. Don't finish them off, just put them in the trash and don't look back. If you require details, just Google "soy endocrine" or "soy estrogen". The first hit under...

    Anabolic Diet success

    Ahh, ok T-Bone, I was reaching on that last part - letting my paleo leanings show. Perhaps being sure to eat protein with fast carbs on the weekend would modulate the blood sugar response while still permitting the muscle glycogen repletion. I believe Mauro allows a decent amount of protein on...

    Best Ways To Prevent/Cure a Hangover?!!?!?

    You can thank me later Take 3-5 caps of milk thistle (silymarin) and drink some water before bed. There's a good chance you'll wake up feeling perfectly normal (or almost so). I think the kind with dandelion root in it works even better. Funny that this hasn't yet turned up in this 8-page...

    Please critique my diet

    Not enough fat. Ideas: less oatmeal, but smother it with butter. Less processed lunch meat and more sliced steak and fish for lunch (pref grass fed/wild caught). Replace the peanut butter with almond butter. I'd also figure out a way to get coconut oil in there. Good on you for the veggie...

    Diet plan offers??

    I suggest paleo. You simply eat when hungry, yet our body fat melts away - so long as you do not abuse things like nuts. Just Google "Robb Wolf quick start" for a primer, then "Paleo recipes" will bring up enough options to feed you for the rest of your life.

    What time do you wake up?

    5:30a, every morning. Importantly, no alarm, no clock in bedroom, no light in bedroom. Sleep and general recovery has been amazing since making these changes.

    Almond Milk - healthy fat

    fat from coconut is almost all saturated fat, which is less prone to oxidation inside the body. A great thing on the Anabolic/Metabolic Diet, probably not if on a high carb diet.

    Anabolic Diet success

    x2, but have to include bacon with the grandest foods. Tremendous benefits await all those who can hang in there until their body becomes fat adapted (i.e switching over to running on fats instead of sugar/carbs as a primary fuel source). Lots of veggies on weekdays will provide fiber (+...

    Almond Milk - healthy fat

    Almond milk is decent in moderation, but lots of poly n-6 fats. Balancing out the n-6 fat with n-3 (pref from cold water fish) will lead to less inflammation. Consider throwing some coconut milk into the mix - lots of good fat and fills you up better than almond milk.

    Cholesterol 2011

    I am sorry to hear about your condition, Outside Backer. I recommend checking out the blogs mentioned - perhaps Dr. Michael Eades has the most info on statins.

    Cholesterol 2011

    It is important to keep off statin drugs so we need an updated thread on this. Credit goes to Chris Kresser, aka The Healthy Skeptic, for the following. These are my notes taken during a recent interview by Jimmy Moore. Myth #1: "Eating high cholesterol leads to high blood cholesterol levels."...

    Blood Work?

    The above covers your hormone testing. Regarding the HDL/LDL part, I suggest getting the "VAP cholesterol" test because it'll break down your LDL bad cholesterol into Pattern A (large fluffy) and Pattern B (small dense). This is important because only a high LDL number with pattern B is a...
