Title: To all those laughing at Adonis for his method ...
Post by: wavelength on July 08, 2009, 01:39:08 AM
... I think this deserves special attention. I asked one of the world's leading nutritionists about my method of getting ripped using the simple rules of protein intake, rate of weight loss, and anaerobic training while eating "junk" food, drinking alcohol, doing no cardio, using candy and icecream for carbing up, not caring about fat/carb ratio, not caring about GI, not using any supplements other than whey for convenience, not caring about meal frequency. This is what he had to say:

Quote from: alan aragon
Do people really give you sh!t about your results because they weren't achieved with clean foods? That's funny, especially considering that people don't realize that "clean" is a subjective term. One thing to remember is that most people simply do not have a fundamental understanding of human physiology. Did you eat at a caloric deficit? Yes.  Did your protein intake and training regimen support LBM retention or at least minimize LBM loss? Yes...... I honestly don't see what's so fcking difficult for naysayers to understand about that.

At my absolute leanest, I ate a pint of hagen daaz every single night right before bed. I also did not have a car at the time, so I biked to school & work. I was running a caloric defricit, so I got lean. The people who give you sh!t are the same brotards who will spend $$$$ on completely useless supps, so we can laugh at them together.

Whats your take on protein intake?
Title: Re: To all those laughing at Adonis for his method ...
Post by: wavelength on July 08, 2009, 01:45:10 AM
Whats your take on protein intake?

My rule is 1g / lb of lean body mass. Alan's is 1g / lb of target weight, which is basically the same.

ummmm, i think we got the concept at this point.

Calories in< calories out= weight loss

You can stop beating us over the head with it

Do you think if you doubled that you would of held onto more lean tissue?

Alan Aragon is possibly loaded on gh and other assorted goodies especialy seeming he has a hand in the pie of olympic and pro athletes.

Of course but that's not what it's about. The target of a cutting diet is not losing weight but doing it with optimal or at least close to optimal body composition. Losing weight does not automatically mean getting ripped.

You have stated numerous times that as long as a base protein requirement is met, all you have to do is operate at a caloric deficit, and you get lean.

 Now are you saying, at this stage in the game, that there is more to it than that?  that it's NOT,  after all.... "too easy?"

No I don't think so, at least not significantly. On my previous cut, my ratio of fat loss vs. muscle loss was about 9:1. I only lost about 1.5 lbs of LBM. Generally, more protein is OK but the tradeoff is less carb and fat intake. And I need carbs for performing optimally in the gym. This is not the same for everyone though IMO.

Alan knows his shit also with naturals, you can be sure of that.

You were just talking about calories in vs. calories out and how that leads to weight loss. I responded that the point was fat loss, not weight loss. For optimal fat loss, protein intake and anaerobic training is needed additionally. Maybe it was a misunderstanding.

Yes everyone is different , that is the key I think..if I lived off take out foods etc id be a mess  :D

No doubt he does but if he is enhanced then following his eating plan or using it as a reference for a natural is not apples with apples.

Do you have a very fast metabolism?

Some foods increase your metabolism more than others, for example, foods with vitamin B, vitamin B speeds up metabolism = more fat loss.
Title: Re: To all those laughing at Adonis for his method ...
Post by: Palpatine Q on July 08, 2009, 02:07:03 AM


Do you have a very fast metabolism?

I'm curious about this as well.  what did you look like before you started your cut?

I only say this because if you are a naturally very lean guy like JohnnynoGame, then saying "look how lean i am!!!" really ain't saying shit, y'know?

I think Johnny's funny because he thinks that Tabata crap is what makes him lean.   His mommy and daddy made him lean

Not a slam....just curious

Some foods increase your metabolism more than others, for example, foods with vitamin B, vitamin B speeds up metabolism = more fat loss.

Even if there is a significant effect, the point is not increasing meatabolism but improving body composition at a certain rate of weight loss resp. target weight. While with the same intake, rate of weight loss may change, this does not automatically mean better body composition at target weight.

I you want to have a swimmers body its ok.

BUT if youre serious about bodybuilding and geting big, you cant eat 2 "snitzels" the size of a dogshit a day and grow.

I you just want to get lean its ok. its not for bb purposes.

He was using himself only as an example for the rule of creating a deficit with whatever means. Again, the cardio was obviously not his point, as his response clearly indicated: "Did you eat at a caloric deficit? Yes.". But I will ask him about it to make that 100% clear.

I can't speak for wave here, but if he were to bulk, i would assume he would follow a more typical diet with higher cals and more frequent meals. Makes sense really, as bulking doesn;t really have anything to do with cutting. Two completely different approaches to dieting. This works for him now, so lets say he bulked up to 200lbs and started dieting again, it would still work.

Before I started working out, I was probably around 20-25%.

Bodybuilding means both bulking and cutting. But of course, for bulking, you need to eat more. I would also eat 2 or 3 meals in this case just because I would get sick otherwise.

Exactly, I would obviously eat more. Higher frequency because of convenience.

sure. Then it's only the question, if a 150lbs couch potato is in a caloric deficit when eating ice cream all day.

To show you that fatloss isn't magic at all, here is another method, the one which i prefer actually. The TRX metabolic training is a bit like Tabata cycles:

http://community.fitnessanywhere.com/blogs/mfp_interviews/archive/2009/06/25/pn-review.aspx

Earlier this year John Berardi and Alwyn Cosgrove joined forces with Fitness Anywhere’s own Fraser Quelch to design and launch an informal fitness experiment.  Everyone did the same weightlifting program designed by Alwyn Cosgrove 2-days a week. On two additional days each group performed a steady state, interval or TRX based workout for 30 to 45 minutes. The results are in! http://www.precisionnutrition.com/8-wks-cosgrove-jb-results

Overall it was a successful experience with 54 participants losing over 165 pounds collectively. These were not typical out of shape couch potatoes but experienced exercisers already in good shape. For this group of people to drop weight it takes good programming and hard work. In addition, everyone improved in physical performance tests. Congrats to the participants, Alwyn, John and Fraser!

While there were not “significant” differences in weight loss and performance across the groups I do notice some “substantive” findings. The TRX group demonstrated similar improvements in the strength measures, which is as expected. What may be surprising to some (not to TRX users) is the fact the TRX group demonstrated similar improvements in running performance (Tmax and Vmax tests) as both the interval training and steady state groups. Keep in mind, two additional days a week for eight weeks the interval and steady state groups trained on the treadmill and the TRX group did not. From a metabolic and work capacity standpoint the TRX training was just as effective as the sport-specific skill, running in this case, without subjecting the participants to the pounding and potential overuse injury risk! What a great case for effective cross training.

These results have already started a stir in the popular media as the interval training versus steady state conditioning advocates defend their turf. The take home message here is TRX Suspension Training is an effective part of any training program. You will continue to see Suspension Training being studied and dissected by academics, clinicians, coaches and trainers. Fitness Anywhere will continue to lead the charge to determine the related science and best practices that maximize TRX Suspension Training. We will continue to deliver products, exercises and programming to help you to reach your potential and “make your body your machine!”

i know, but that was what TA said in the beginning. You can eat Pizza and McD all day long, because a calorie is a calorie.

Sure you can, but that means you can eat ONE Pizza for the whole day, or one BigMac menue.

You'll end up looking like MJ.


As long as you have a caloric deficit, you will lose weight, where's the problem with that? Ask any model in the world, she will confirm it.

Maybe you can add orange juice drenched cotton balls to your diet to fill you up better.

If Adonis said something like that, without taking protein and overall calories into account, it's wrong, no doubt about it. That's not what I saw in his posts. I don't know his complete posting history though.

And again, I was never talking about the obvious rule of losing weight in a deficit, I have no idea why you come up with the same argument all the time. I am always talking about optimal or at least close to optimal body composition. On a bodybuilding forum that should go without saying.

You are suggesting me that you go from pudgy to THAT eating restaurant food and icecream and THAT absolutely insults my intelligence.
I think you are full of shit and trying to be special, no cardio, shitty genetics (no offence), no fatburners, no t3, regular meals laced with fat and sugar.
The best genetics plus drugs do cardio and diet hard to get where you got while you do it without drugs cardio WITH shitty genetics and regular food.
Anyone with half a brain will laugh at you, you either diet harsh and you lie here to make it seem different, or you do eat like you do indeed but use t3 and eca or/and clen/albuterol.
Either way you are full of shit and I am calling you out.

A question for Alan Aragon, if you have a few minutes to spare. I'm again being accused of lying about my diet resp. having taken "t3 and eca or/and clen/albuterol".
The argument is that my "regular meals laced with fat and sugar" and my "****ty genetics" without drugs and cardio can never get me into the condition displayed in the pics.
"Burning fat naturally without drugs or cardio while ingesting fat, sugars, starches and hydrogenated oils" is allegedly impossible.
The conclusion finally is that "anyone with half a brain will laugh at me" for my claims of doing it the way I have described.
Since I assume you are someone with at least half a brain, I would like you to comment on these points, maybe with a little scientific background and/or experience you have with some of your clients.

man fuck this shit....who is this genius alchemist  nutritionist adonis??? he fuckin knows a lot of big words and most probably researches before he posts, but to be honest, i have NEVER really found a concise reading of his PRINCIPLES.....i have seen his pics and why the fuck are the befores more impressive than the afters?

he loses like 20lbs of fat and 15lbs of muscle...and looks like a fucking keebler elf?   we got a meth head at our gym that buys a lot of protein and does the same thing???

a calorie is a calorie...ill give you that.....BUT, a calorie of protein vs a calorie of ice cream will have a definant effect on a physique.....i thought the idea was to loose fat....but maybe im old school and out of the "intellectual" loop!

Many people have great success with more restricted methods, that doesn't mean all restrictions are necessary.
I would rather listen to people who at least have a scientific background, not only anecdotal evidence behind their methods.

But be honest, as far as execution is concerned. Counting calories, being more restrictive is easier as far as execution is concerned whereas in your case you need months to figure out how much you can eat at your buffets and what have you; traditional diets are easier.

And yes, experience with clients is anectodal evidence.

I never said you were "shit". I'm sure you had great success with your clients, as many others have with different methods, applying other restrictions. Example: keto diets vs. low fat diets.

Your statments regarding the impossibility of fat loss on foods that contain sugar, starches, and certain kinds of fats are simply wrong.

... I think this deserves special attention. I asked one of the world's leading nutritionists about my method of getting ripped using the simple rules of protein intake, rate of weight loss, and anaerobic training while eating "junk" food, drinking alcohol, doing no cardio, using candy and icecream for carbing up, not caring about fat/carb ratio, not caring about GI, not using any supplements other than whey for convenience, not caring about meal frequency. This is what he had to say:

And here is a little background info on Alan: 'Alan Aragon has over 15 years of success in the fitness field. He earned his Bachelor and Master of Science in Nutrition with top honors. Alan is a continuing education provider for the Commission on Dietetic Registration, National Academy of Sports Medicine, American Council on Exercise, and National Strength & Conditioning Association.

Again, experience with clients is anectodal evidence. Doesn't mean it's useless but it's not scientific evidence unless performed under the rules of scientific studies. Too many unknown variables. The methods may be optimal for the target at hand and still impose unnecessary restrictions.

I never said you had no credibility, you said that about me: "Anyone with half a brain will laugh at you".
I never claimed that I have knowledge on endurance training, you most probably know more about that than me.

I wasn't anywhere close to 5% bodyfat, have you seen my legs and arms?

Regarding the difference between losing fat and getting ripped, your argument was about losing fat, you didn't say anything about contest condition:

u joking right?
burning fat naturally without drugs or cardio while ingesting fat, sugars, starches and hydrogenated oils
ok  ::)

You said that anyone who knows anything about nutrition would say that I can never get to the condition displayed in the pics using the method I have described. I presented the statments of three of the most respected nutritionists in the field who all agreed that it is possible. You may still believe they are all liars and posers like me of course.

Well in a deficit everybody must lose weight. At some point, body composition will suffer of course, meaning the ratio of fat loss vs. muscle loss will deteriorate. The question is what is essential for keeping that deterioration at bay.

when I diet as anyone who ever done it knows , the body adapts quicly on a deficit , metabolism shuts down and you need to jumpstart it again

that's why we cycle carbs and reload with glycogen

even keto diets do the same

Exactly, that's what I proposed already in the other thread. I will announce again here that I will delete my account on getbig if you:

- eat enough protein (1g / lb of LBM),
- perform intense weight training at least 3 times a week, all major muscle groups involved,
- get your basic nutrition (micros, EFAs, etc.),
- above that eat whatever you want,
- but adjust your total intake so that you lose weight (e.g. 1lb / week),

and don't get ripped without any legal or illegal supplements. I will stop posting on Getbig if you don't get ripped doing that for long enough. For the last week, I got rid of the water by means of sodium restriction, as explained in the other thread, so that would be the finishing touch.

would be nice but no....cuz the body, and  metabolism will adjust...so defecit is just a portion of the key..

the real key is to keep metabolism hight while caloric intake is low....true dieting is a balance of intake and manipulation of metabolism.........make the body think your eating all the time.....key is to know when the metabolism is slowing and take proper action..//....

Metabolism slows down somewhat in a deficit, but regardless of eating patterns. There are no controlled scientific studies whatsoever (I know of) showing that it would "shut down" (unless in extreme situations). When weight loss stalls, it's because maintenance has been reached again (due to weight loss) and calories must be reduced again.

would be nice but no....cuz the body, and  metabolism will adjust...so defecit is just a portion of the key..

the real key is to keep metabolism hight while caloric intake is low....true dieting is a balance of intake and manipulation of metabolism.........make the body think your eating all the time.....key is to know when the metabolism is slowing and take proper action..//....

The definition of "deficit" takes the slowdown of metabolism into account. In a deficit, you will lose weight.

My Macros change on a daily basis.

For instance, yesterday I baked Peppermint Chocolate Cookies and made Italian Sausage Pizza with Fontina cheese, Mozzarella, Parmesan, Basil, Tomatoes.  We fermented the crust for 36 hours.  I also had some Greek Yogurt with Raspberries.

I have no clue what the Macros are nor do I worry.


Today, I will have totally different Macros depending on whatever I cook or decide to pick up.  My macros always change.

yeah....metabolism adjusts...taht was my point....but at .what point does the defecit elicit mucle loss?? at what point does your defecit not provide an adequate balance between muscle preservation and fat loss....keep in mind we dont all want to look like adonis....and lose 20lbs of muscle to get half assed ripped....drugs or not...!!!!

YOU STOP BURNING FAT !

your body doensn't know you diet...he only knows he's getting little food..so he goes into starvation mode

starts holding on to fat in order to be able to eat itself when it starves or there's no food

defense mechanism

all my life I thought that in order to burn fat you gotta run a glycogen deficit in order to trick the body into using subcutaneous fat as fuel for cardio and workouts

when it shuts down, reload with carbs and glycogen , it starts the metab again and so on ...

Here's the method: stay at a certain deficit for at least 4 weeks. If weight loss stalls in those complete 4 weeks, slightly reduce. With this method, I only had to adjust one single time on my last diet.

As I said, controlled studies show a pretty constant rate of weight loss on a certain deficit until maintenance is reached again.

The body doesn't go into "starvation mode" on a small deficit that provides rates of weight loss of about 1-2 lbs / week.

Points to the direction that my Macros vary on a constant basis and I pay no caution to them whatsoever.

If I were to use say, Feta Cheese on a crust that did not ferment so long, the entire composition of the Pizza would be entirely different. Protein, fat, carbs as well as taste!

What do you do after let's say 12 weeks? Reduce even more? You'll end up starving yourself to death, there's no fucking way you can train right and also not lose muscle by reducing your calories every few weeks.

I think we all understand the concept, but how you are saying it is deceiving.  As long as you stay in a caloric deficit AND have 1 gram of protein per pound, you can eat whatever you want.  To stay in a caloric deficit without any cardio, what you can eat then becomes limited.

TA saying he eats cookies and pizza is probably not false, but he is eat 1 cookie or 1 slice of pizza.  It is not like he is eating the whole pizza or a dozen cookies.

Regardless, you still have to watch what you eat and you will still be hungry in order to lower your bodyfat.

You don't have to do that. I only had to reduce once for my previous diet.
People overreact when weight loss stalls for one or two weeks. Especially when the initial loss of water weight stops.

Or they simply eat more than they thought in the first place.

You must create a deficit in any case.

Of course you can, the body adapts quickly. But that is also not the point of my method. You can just as well split your meals in any way you want. It's a convenience factor, nothing else. What is most convenient for me will probably not be for you.

Wrong.

I ate a whole pizza that I made and the cookies were huge at 250 calories each one.  

You can easily eat a whole pizza from anywhere if you wanted.  

Just an example: You can order a Dominoes Large Pepperoni Pizza and if you eat the whole thing it is 1680 calories.   Now you can eat the whole thing at once if you`d like or you can eat 2 or 3 pieces every few hours if you like or you can just eat a few slices and save the rest and eat other things throughout the day.  There are no rules.

That is 72 grams of protein so with just a little effort you can reach .5 grams per lb of bodyweight in protein as a minimum.

Now I would NEVER eat Dominoes as I don`t find it appealing nor do I like their ingredients.  I can load even more meat and cheese and adjust my crust to not only taste better, but to alter the content of Nutrients as I see fit.  Regressive or Progressive.


I think you see the point.

I can give you the recipes if you like.  From there you can see what nutrients are in there.  I don`t have to check personally because I know what is what when I bake or cook as I make the entire thing.

Fast foods make it even easier for you.


Also, once you get into cooking and food, you will certainly know just by experience what is in a food down to the seasonings.  I love going to restaurants and deconstructing their dishes by taste, then going home and duplicating them.

nobody is arguing that you can lose fat eating junk food. as long as you are in calorie defecit.

problem with these diets is that the carb/fat content is to high compare to protein content for someone whose goal is to build muscle! (not to talk about the lack of fiber content)

say if you where to eat häagen daz icecream all the time.

let's take a look at nutritional facts for chocolate häagen daz:

Quote
Amount Per Serving
Serving Size: 1/2 Cup (106g)
Calories: 270 Calories from Fat: 160
 
Total Fat 18g 28%
Saturated Fat 11g 55%
Trans Fat 0.5g  
Cholesterol 115mg 38%
Sodium 60mg 3%
Total Carbohydrate 22g 7%
Dietary Fiber 1g 4%
Sugars 21g  
Protein 5g  
 
 
 
Vitamin A 10%  Vitamin C 0%  
Calcium 15%  Iron 6%  


fat/carb/protein ratio = 40%fat/49% carbs/11% protein

to little protein in relation to fat/carbs for a bodybuilder obviously.

so say if you where to meet your daily calories with icecream only.

lets say you want to get in 2160 calories daily. that would mean 8 servings of this icecream.

8 servings of icecream = 40 g protein. Not enough for someone whose goal is to build muscle!

Wrong.

I ate a whole pizza that I made and the cookies were huge at 250 calories each one.  

You can easily eat a whole pizza from anywhere if you wanted.  

Just an example: You can order a Dominoes Large Pepperoni Pizza and if you eat the whole thing it is 1680 calories.   Now you can eat the whole thing at once if you`d like or you can eat 2 or 3 pieces every few hours if you like or you can just eat a few slices and save the rest and eat other things throughout the day.  There are no rules.

That is 72 grams of protein so with just a little effort you can reach .5 grams per lb of bodyweight in protein as a minimum.

Now I would NEVER eat Dominoes as I don`t find it appealing nor do I like their ingredients.  I can load even more meat and cheese and adjust my crust to not only taste better, but to alter the content of Nutrients as I see fit.  Regressive or Progressive.


I think you see the point.


Again you miss my point.  First, a large domino's pizza has well over 2000 calories in it.  Do the math, at over 300 calories a slice, the pizza will have well over 2000 cals.
Say you ate the whole pizza and your cookies, what then?  You still have to account for how many calories you are eating in a day and not go over your base rate if you are maintaining or deficit.  I am not saying you are wrong in that you can eat what you want while staying within your guidelines, but you still need to stay within a set caloric level to loose body fat.

I can give you the recipes if you like.  From there you can see what nutrients are in there.  I don`t have to check personally because I know what is what when I bake or cook as I make the entire thing.

Fast foods make it even easier for you.


Also, once you get into cooking and food, you will certainly know just by experience what is in a food down to the seasonings.  I love going to restaurants and deconstructing their dishes by taste, then going home and duplicating them.

i dont cuz a hand tossed large dominoes pepperoni is 2376 for the whole pie??

nobody is arguing that you can lose fat eating junk food. as long as you are in calorie defecit.

problem with these diets is that the carb/fat content is to high compare to protein content for someone whose goal is to build muscle! (not to talk about the lack of fiber content)

say if you where to eat häagen daz icecream all the time.

let's take a look at nutritional facts for chocolate häagen daz:
 

fat/carb/protein ratio = 40%fat/49% carbs/11% protein

to little protein in relation to fat/carbs for a bodybuilder obviously.

so say if you where to meet your daily calories with icecream only.

lets say you want to get in 2160 calories daily. that would mean 8 servings of this icecream.

8 servings of icecream = 40 g protein. Not enough for someone whose goal is to build muscle!

That is my point as well.  You cannot eat fucking ice cream and pizza all day and hit your protein needs.

What is your chosen fermentation method for pizza dough TA?

Yeast does all the work.  I usually make a starter or a poolish or biga and let it sit overnight or rest in the fridge for a few days to ferment after the first rise.

Here is my favorite recipe at the moment and I can assure you it turns out EVERY time.

7 1/4 ounces King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
7 1/4 ounces semolina*
1/4 ounce Pizza Dough Flavor (optional, but delicious)
1 teaspoon instant yeast
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
7/8 ounce olive oil
9 to 10 ounces lukewarm water


*Use 3 cups all-purpose flour in place of the all-purpose/semolina mixture, if desired
Toppings
tomato sauce, cooked meats, vegetables, and cheeses of your choice
Directions


1) Dough: Mix and knead together all of the dough ingredients, by hand, mixer or bread machine, till you’ve created a smooth, soft dough. Don’t over-knead the dough; it should hold together, but can still look fairly rough on the surface.



2) Allow the dough to rise, covered, for 45 minutes; then refrigerate it for 4 hours (or up to 36 hours); this step will develop the crust’s flavor. It'll continue to rise in the fridge, so make sure it's in a big enough bowl.



3) Divide the dough in half.



4) Working with one piece of dough at a time, pick it up and let gravity gently stretch it into an oval. For a more circular shape, move your hands around the perimeter of the dough as it stretches. For thin-crust pizza, make a 12" round or oval. For thick-crust, make a 9" round.


5) Cover the dough, and let it rest while you heat your oven to 450°F. For thickest crust, let your 9" round pizza rest/rise for 60 minutes before baking.



6) Baking: After about 30 minutes, use a giant spatula or pizza peel to transfer the pizzas and parchment to your hot oven stone; or place the pizzas and parchment on a pan, and place the pan on the middle rack of your oven.



7) Bake for 6 minutes (for a thinner, larger crust), or for up to 8 minutes for a smaller/thicker crust. Remove from the oven.



8) To enjoy pizza right away, top it with your favorite toppings, return to an upper rack of the oven (not to the stone), and bake for an additional 8 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling bubbly.


9) To serve pizzas some other time, remove the parchment, cool the un-topped crusts, wrap them well in plastic wrap, and store at room temperature for 2 or 3 days. Refrigerate for up to 5 days; or freeze for up to 4 weeks.


10) When you’re ready to serve, remove the crusts from the refrigerator or freezer. While they warm to room temperature, heat your oven to 450°F; frozen crusts should be taken out of the freezer and thawed earlier in the day; leave them in the bag, but leave the bag open as they thaw. Top crusts with your favorite toppings and place them on a parchment-lined or greased baking sheet, then on an upper rack of the oven. Bake the pizzas for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling bubbly.


Your pizza will look like this:

I commend you on how you look.  You are lean and you do what works for you.  Everyone is different.  Not everyone has the self control to eat certain foods and limit what they eat.  I know clients that just have to eat the whole bag of chips if they start it.  Even though, they could lose weight by having chips in their diet, if they regulated amounts.

When losing fat, you cannot truly eat whatever you want.  There has to be limitations and rules to achieve the results you want.  Also, people respond differently to diets as their bodies respond differently to the macro nutrients.  I would never tell someone this worked for me so it has to work for you.  Your body type and personality might be best suited for this type of nutrition, but is certainly not the best or only way.  Too many variables in humans.

Um, why must you eat the whole pizza in one sitting?

Um, why can`t you order a 12 inch if you feel the need to eat the whole thing?

Um, why can`t you eat 3 or 4 slices then eat other things in the day?


You have an all or nothing mentality and I think that is the problem here.

Their Bakers Companion is a James Beard winner and THE BEST.  I bake cookies out of their Cookie Companion about everyday.  Also, use their recipes on their site as they are extensive and EVERY ONE OF THEM will turn out.

Make sure you weigh the ingredients instead of using a measuring cup.  This is where people fail completely and King Arthur says the same which is why they give the WEIGHT for everything.  They rule.  8)

This cake is simply an amazing married blend of Ginger and Pumpkin that will leave a lasting impression even long after it is devoured. The density and texture are reminiscent of something found in an upscale bakery. Be assured that if this cake were for sale, a vendor could easily fetch a high price. The quality is really that impressive. The icing is a thickly rich splendor that beautifully glazes your taste buds with each bite taken. This icing could easily find its way upon any dessert that calls for such provisions. Feel free to keep it as your standard. 5 stars and anyone who does not give it the full 5 is just severely delusional with malformed and ill-working taste buds.

I commend you on how you look.  You are lean and you do what works for you.  Everyone is different.  Not everyone has the self control to eat certain foods and limit what they eat.  I know clients that just have to eat the whole bag of chips if they start it.  Even though, they could lose weight by having chips in their diet, if they regulated amounts.

When losing fat, you cannot truly eat whatever you want.  There has to be limitations and rules to achieve the results you want.  Also, people respond differently to diets as their bodies respond differently to the macro nutrients.  I would never tell someone this worked for me so it has to work for you.  Your body type and personality might be best suited for this type of nutrition, but is certainly not the best or only way.  Too many variables in humans.

Yes, that's exactly my point. The diet must be designed to be as convenient as possible for the individual while still following the essential rules of protein intake and caloric restriction. For some people that means staying away from some foods they like because it's hard for them to stick to the deficit otherwise. However, for many other people, a diet that is too restrictive in terms of what they are allowed to eat will not work either, because they can't stick to that.

What I don't agree with however is the effect of macro composition other than protein on body composition beyond the convenience factor. There is no study (I know of) showing any effect of carb/fat ratio as long as rate of weight change is kept the same and basic nutritional needs are met. What I do agree with is that some people can get away with less carbs while still maintaining strength in the gym while others can't. I'm the best example for the second category, since my gym performance was horrible on keto diets.

The Old Mill of Guilford was founded in North Carolina on Beaver Creek in 1767 to grind grain for the early settlers of what is now Guilford County.  Today, the mill continues to produce all-natural, stone-ground, whole grain foods, just as it has for over 250 years.

n 1767, before the colonists decided to seek independence from England, Daniel Dillon built a small tub mill in North Carolina on Beaver Creek, and went into business grinding grain for the early settlers. The Earl of Granville had granted Dillon the tract of 552 acres on Reedy Fork and Beaver Creeks in 1755. Rowan County later granted him a license to build the mill in 1764. Rowan County court minutes from January 10, 1764 read: "Ordered that Daniel Dillin have License to Build a Publick Grist Mill on the Reedy Fork of Haw River at the mouth of Beaver Creek." The mill was located in what is now Guilford County, which was created out of Rowan County in 1771.
On February 10, 1781, during the Revolutionary War, British troops under General Cornwallis marched past the mill in pursuit of General Green who was encamped at Guilford Courthouse. Legend has it that British troops seized the mill to grind grain for the soldiers prior to the Battle of Guilford Courthouse on March 15, 1781.

Here is a review I wrote on King Arthur for Pumpkin Cakes with Ginger and Cream Cheese Icing April 10, 2009.  They loved my review. lol


This cake is simply an amazing married blend of Ginger and Pumpkin that will leave a lasting impression even long after it is devoured. The density and texture are reminiscent of something found in an upscale bakery. Be assured that if this cake were for sale, a vendor could easily fetch a high price. The quality is really that impressive. The icing is a thickly rich splendor that beautifully glazes your taste buds with each bite taken. This icing could easily find its way upon any dessert that calls for such provisions. Feel free to keep it as your standard. 5 stars and anyone who does not give it the full 5 is just severely delusional with malformed and ill-working taste buds.

once again i ask....what are YOUR princples??? please make it sound logical to me with reagards to biochemistry and metabolism AND bodybuilding??

umm no. both of those terms are those used by mags, supp

bodybuilding means building/adding muscle and then dieting
off the fat that comes with the added muscle in order to compete.

you got in great shape but your muscle is very thin. you have
no thickness or lost it all dieting. your also a young man so your
metabolism makes up for alot of what you think matters in dieting.

It does not assume that all individuals have the same caloric needs, I always talk about rate of weight loss, never about total calories. Regarding macros, this was already addressed.

I'm not talking about the final week before a real competition, I'm also not talking about non-natural bodybuilders. I have no experience with either. But there are bodybuilders who have e.g. tried low carb and low fat diets and had great success with both. Same goes for different methods regarding meal frequency or macro timing. I don't agree with the need for "metabolism confusion" or "tricking metabolism", at least there is no scientific evidence for that as far as I know.

furthermore, convience is an after thought for a true bodybuilder.....we eat to elicit a metabolic response...not for convienece or pleasure....

For a competitive BB, of course, convenience should not play any role, although it also doesn't make any sense to make the diet as inconvenient as possible if it's not necessary. I was just responding to the convenience factor as mentioned by lvtolft for people who just want to be able to stick to a diet.

"Bodybuilding means both bulking and cutting." umm no. both of those terms are those used by mags, supp companies and others that want to lighten your wallet. bodybuilding means building/adding muscle and then dieting off the fat that comes with the added muscle in order to compete.

I' have never bought a BB mag in my life and I don't use any supps other than whey. Of course, that's what I meant by bulking and cutting: adding weight with optimal body composition (maximizing ratio of muscle gain vs. fat gain) and then losing weight with optimal body composition (maximizing ratio of fat loss vs. muscle loss).

you got in great shape but your muscle is very thin. you have no thickness or lost it all dieting. your also a young man so your metabolism makes up for alot of what you think matters in dieting. try what your saying at my age.(53)
won't work don't work can't work

My lack of muscle mass has absolutely nothing to do with my cutting method. Both this and my previous cut was close to optimal regarding body composition. My LBM is low because of injuries and thus the inability to train with full intensity. I was a lot heavier in the past.

Slow down of metabolism with age is not that siginificant, individually different though. For the most part, people move less and eat more when they get older.

How old do you think I am?

Post by: tbombz on July 08, 2009, 11:03:07 AM
with that being said...here are the benefits of over eating protein.


Increased Thermic Effect of Feeding — While all macronutrients require metabolic processing for digestion, absorption, and storage or oxidation, the thermic effect of protein is roughly double that of carbohydrates and fat. Therefore, eating protein is actually thermogenic and can lead to a higher metabolic rate. This means greater fat loss when dieting and less fat gain during overfeeding.

Increased Glucagon — Protein consumption increases plasma concentrations of the hormone glucagon. Glucagon is responsible for antagonizing the effects of insulin in adipose tissue, leading to greater fat mobilization. In addition, glucagon also decreases the amounts and activities of the enzymes responsible for making and storing fat in adipose and liver cells. Again, this leads to greater fat loss during dieting and less fat gain during overfeeding.

Increased IGF-1 — Protein and amino-acid supplementation has been shown to increase the IGF-1 response to both exercise and feeding. Since IGF-1 is an anabolic hormone that's related to muscle growth, another advantage associated with consuming more protein is more muscle growth when overfeeding and/or muscle sparing when dieting.

Reduction in Cardiovascular Risk — Several studies have shown that increasing the percentage of protein in the diet (from 11% to 23%) while decreasing the percentage of carbohydrate (from 63% to 48%) lowers LDL cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations with concomitant increases in HDL cholesterol concentrations.

Improved Weight-Loss Profile — Brand spankin' new research by Layman and colleagues has demonstrated that reducing the carbohydrate ratio from 3.5 - 1 to 1.4 - 1 increases body fat loss, spares muscle mass, reduces triglyceride concentrations, improves satiety, and improves blood glucose management (Layman et al 2003 — If you're at all interested in protein intake, you've gotta go read the January and February issues of the Journal of Nutrition. Layman has three interesting articles in the two journals).

Increased Protein Turnover — As I've discussed before in my article Precision Nutrition, all tissues of the body, including muscle, go through a regular program of turnover. Since the balance between protein breakdown and protein synthesis governs muscle protein turnover, you need to increase your protein turnover rates in order to best improve your muscle quality. A high protein diet does just this. By increasing both protein synthesis and protein breakdown, a high protein diet helps you get rid of the old muscle more quickly and build up new, more functional muscle to take its place.

Increased Nitrogen Status — Earlier I indicated that a positive nitrogen status means that more protein is entering the body than is leaving the body. High protein diets cause a strong positive protein status and when this increased protein availability is coupled with an exercise program that increases the body's anabolic efficiency, the growth process may be accelerated.

Increased Provision of Auxiliary Nutrients — Although the benefits mentioned above have related specifically to protein and amino acids, it's important to recognize that we don't just eat protein and amino acids — we eat food. Therefore, high protein diets often provide auxiliary nutrients that could enhance performance and/or muscle growth. These nutrients include creatine, branched chain amino acids, conjugated linoleic acids, and/or additional nutrients that are important but remain to be discovered. This illustrates the need to get most of your protein from food, rather than supplements alone.

http://www.johnberardi.com/articles/nutrition/proprejudice.htm

Specifically, the research of Butterfield and Calloway suggests that athletes may actually need less protein due to an increase in protein efficiency that may accompany chronic training (Butterfield and Calloway 1984). What this means is that athletes may actually get more efficient in their protein use (i.e. increased anabolic efficiency) and therefore may need less protein than the 0.8g/kg required for sedentary individuals!

athletes may actually need fewer protein grams per day than the typical sedentary dose of 0.8g/kg. Actually, the Butterfield study suggests an exact number: 0.65g/kg.






http://www.unu.edu/unupress/food2/UID07E/uid07e0y.htm


As in the rat experiments, these findings indicate that physical activity can modify the efficiency of dietary energy and protein utilization.

This suggests that sustained physical activity has a protein-sparing effect.

athletes may actually need fewer protein grams per day than the typical sedentary dose of 0.8g/kg. Actually, the Butterfield study suggests an exact number: 0.65g/kg.

As in the rat experiments, these findings indicate that physical activity can modify the efficiency of dietary energy and protein utilization.

This suggests that sustained physical activity has a protein-sparing effect.




Interesting. I tried below 1g/kg body weight and my body composition suffered on the cut. Just my observation of course.
