    Why and how diets damage you. The human body's REAL response to starvation.

    Why post an opinion piece filled with unsubstantiated nonsense? I am in the process of moving. I will respond to your post in that thread sometime this week. Perhaps my language was unclear, but I do not require the work to be done on humans in order for the results to be considered...

    Why and how diets damage you. The human body's REAL response to starvation.

    Let's not confuse the issue. The "jury" is not "still out" on HFCS. No credible evidence solely linking HFCS to liver problems in humans can be found in the literature. Sure: http://www.efsa.europa.eu/EFSA/efsa_locale-1178620753812_1178620765743.htm...

    A science based response to the weightloss pusher's mantra "Calories In=Calories Out"

    I apologize for digging up an old thread, but I feel this misconception held by joswitch and several other forum members needs to be corrected: The Energy Balance Equation

    Why and how diets damage you. The human body's REAL response to starvation.

    Naturally occurring trans fats, while not as common as artificially hydrogenated fats, can be found in many meat and dairy products. Seriously? How can you say any one of those factors alone can cause severe liver problems when the study only suggests a combination of the three may cause...

    Why and how diets damage you. The human body's REAL response to starvation.

    Most people who fuck up their knees while running, run too much and almost always run with shitty form. Also, the majority of women (overweight women especially) have a severe biomechanic disadvantage when it comes to running safely. So, with all that being said, I too, would not recommend...

    No need to get insulting. My post was genuine.

    Joswitch, so, what you are basically saying can be summed up as, Calories in = Calories out.

    High fructose corn syrup vs. Sugar?

    How is HFCS 90 incredibly bad for you? That is essentially the same as saying, fructose is incredibly bad for you. I fail to see how it is inherently nasty. If it is, then table sugar is inherently nasty as well.

    High fructose corn syrup vs. Sugar?

    I quoted the same thing twice because I had two separate points to make and I wanted to avoid confusion. Exactly. So, HFCS 90 is not a problem. HFCS 90 is so sickeningly sweet that even when it is added to foods, it is used in small amounts. And, in and of itself, HFCS 90 is not...

    The effects of sitting and screen-time

    It also leads to inhibition of the gluteal muscles and the shortening of the hip flexors: a recipe for chronic back pain.

    High fructose corn syrup vs. Sugar?

    HFCS 90 is almost never used to sweeten food. HFCS 42 has less fructose than table sugar. And HFCS 55 is nearly identical to table sugar. So, I fail to see how HFCS is anymore damaging than table sugar.

    High fructose corn syrup vs. Sugar?

    No credible scientific evidence supports that statement. If that were correct, then, your body would have trouble digesting Honey.

    The daily exercise report thread!!

    Unless you have a history of foot injuries, circulatory problems or a chronic pain condition like fibromyalgia, you should try some soft tissue work on the soles of your feet if you walk that much. Shown Here Avoid bony prominences and joints You would be amazed how simple and effective...

    The daily exercise report thread!!

    Perhaps that was unclear. I did not mean any one food that had 1g of protein for every 2g of carbs, I meant a combination of foods. Say 20g of protein from milk or eggs or chicken or beef and 40g of carbs from pasta or rice or a potato or fruit or bread etc.

    As I said before, any food is better than no food, but you should try to incorporate a good quality protein before a workout. Ideally, you would drop the almonds, add a protein and carb source where for every 1g or protein consumed prior to working out, you consume 2g of carbs.

    The daily exercise report thread!!

    If I am eating a solid meal before a workout, I will consume that meal 2 hours before working out. If I am consuming a liquid meal, 30-45 minutes is usually enough time. Romain deadlifts would be an even better alternative.

    The daily exercise report thread!!

    Thanks. My long femurs put me at a serious biomechanical disadvantage when it comes to the deadlift, so, I gotta warmup a ton and activate my glutes as much as possible to spare my back and keep my quads from taking over.

    The daily exercise report thread!!

    I doubt most people on this site are gonna load up a barbell and deadlift, but your description of the exercise is incorrect. What you are talking about is more similar to a stiff legged deadlift. It sounds like nitpicking but the differences between the exercises in terms of safety...

    Granted, eating something is better than not eating anything--especially before a workout--but honestly, if you are not consuming protein and carbs before and especially after a workout, you are shooting yourself in the foot.
