Title: A calorie is a calorie..... or is it?
Post by: CT_Muscle on December 09, 2013, 12:30:01 PM

“A calorie is a calorie IS a calorie,” they say… that it doesn’t matter whether you eat a 100 calories of candy or broccoli, they will have the same effect on your weight.
 
It is true that all “calories” have the same amount of energy. One dietary Calorie contains 4184 Joules. In that respect, a calorie IS a calorie.
 
But when it comes to your body, things are not that simple.
 
The human body is a highly complex biochemical system with elaborate processes that regulate energy balance.
 
Different foods go through different biochemical pathways, some of which are inefficient and cause energy (calories) to be lost as heat (1)......

also the other extreme 'I can eat 3000 cals of meat because protein/keto/paleo is magic and those extra cals don't turn to fat'

or 'tren will make me burn the extra carbs instead of storing as fat' :p

a calorie is a unit of measure of how to increase water by 1 degree Celsius.  It's like saying a gram is a gram correct?  But is 1 gram of gold = 1 gram of sand, money wise?

im sure you "hoped" it would be worse, but this is 100% natural with long time no peds in system

so,in conclusion, go choke on semen :-*

so to the op, yet again, do you think just bc peds one can get away with eaing a shit diet and look good?

Love how the first post to his article burns him savagely.
well, but hes still right nonetheless, the firs tlink says "similiar" results,i think no need to go even further into this, one is about fatloss, the other is for the gullible, topic being weightloss, which arent the same things.

ofc one who dont train doesnt care what kind of weight he loses, but those who train,well,theres a reason why phil heaths diet is what it is, goes back 40 years now.
we see it every day in the gym, th guys who folow a bbuilding diet,and the guys who dont.they all train with similair frequency, they often both take enhancing drugs, they never look anything alike

well thats better, but can be misinterpreted imo.

example:

all protein from protein powder

all carbs from sugar

all fats fom cookies and icecream

ppl can say what the hell they want, but carbs and esp sugars have extremely different effects than a low carb diet, one example,and very important example being the insulin reaction and the bloodsugar reaction,with the followup reaction from the brain and the hunger hormones.

one just needs to look at a bloodsugar graphic which shows what kind of effect eating sugars has on the bloodsugar and insulin release.then they can compare that to complex carbs,whch are nothing else but chained simple sugars, and then compare that to low carb.

and can try to add or reduce protein and then see what happens to the graph, and check if they think fatloss for example being possible at what respective insulin levels.

or even more simple, go to a jacked guy, a bulker and a shredded one and ask them about their diets.

This article is excellent.

It's basic but well written IMO.

A calorie is a calorie way of thinking is fine if weight loss is your sole purpose, but for the bodies maximum functional performance, you need to look further in depth.

and why would you like to see him go natural for a whole year, no self respecting man in his right mind is going to post 'progress' pics on a weekly or bi weekly basis when taking time off, that's a sure fire way to want to go back on again because he will only get a slagging. Granted after six months re adjustment of chemistry and consistent training and diet as shown in the pics the build can look great.

Jesus Christ chill the fuck out.  ::)

I think Gal is one of the few that could look pretty damn close to how he looks now.

Just because you are ashamed of how you look off doesn't mean everyone else is.  ::)

And Gal is someone who can handle a "slagging". You'd probably run off this board in tears.

body builders are the most insecure people on the planet including gal

If any artist, actor, athlete, author got worse and worse in their specialty they would feel insecure about it and also receive criticism from fans and peers. Of course these people need to learn to detach from it all to find peace of mind but making a mockery of oneself for others enjoyment is undignified.

I know well I have the ability to train naturally and have a good easier to maintain physique without enhancement. However I wouldn't do that just to prove it to a natural nazi on getbig.

long time is long enough to clear all esters tenfold and all steroid gains gone.

when it doesnt get any worse any more.

as for the 2014 request, that wouldnt be "progress" it would be regress

bigmc, kindly shut up, i spared you and some others, you know deep down why.

@shizzo, go fuck your mother you piece of excrement, go talk about something you know, like booze.you disgusting miscarriage.


@ronan: yes, lol, i can live without the gear no problem , that look above will be what it is, thats good enough for me, but that sure isnt worthy of the entertainment style postings i used to do, its kinda like the average juicr looks, just that im natty there.
yes my natural look comes kinda close to the steroid lok, uhm, because, never took many steroids.
and for who thought it was bragging or something, nah it was always just entertainment, the best pics was only pmd to very select few.

thanks for the "support", or rather,pointing out why a sane guy wouldnt "report" his decline on bodily looks to a bunch of unfaithfull,backstabbing cuuunts online.
its no secret that im off and thats fine, ronan knwos how someone who got bit fundaments looks on vs off, unlike the other homos who think the galeniko will absolutely waste away, and hope so, well, dont sweat it,its not happening.

but hell fuck no, i might have done reporting the demise and decline just for fun bc i can laugh about it best myself, but not doing it now anymore.

"gal" hasnt got so thick skin.ah yeah right, the cheeek of some people.

and then "sorry didnt mean it like that".spare the sorry.

haha hold on, yeah , im about to document my road to natural to prove some thick skin ::)

Some in the Paleo "community" believe as long as keep your carbs low you can eat as much fat as you want without getting fat. IMO, this type of thinking is a pretext for food addicts to stuff their faces with bacon and cheese while rationalizing that they're dieting.
