that is from 1997.

Quote: "Research is beginning to show that your genetic makeup – not diet – is the driving force behind cholesterol levels, says cardiologist Steven Nissen, MD. The body creates cholesterol in amounts much larger than what you can eat, Dr. Nissen says. So avoiding foods that are high in cholesterol won’t affect your blood…
-
It is very minor. You should do some reading about it.
-
Because you will not get the results you would with proper macronutrient intake. Endurance does not equal benefit from exercise and nutrition.

Don't worry about cholesterol from food http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2015/02/19/nutrition-panel-calls-for-less-sugar-and-eases-cholesterol-and-fat-restrictions/

I agree, and those make up the rest of the few pretty much hehe.
-
It does depend on your activity level, but there is a minimum and you eat under it.
-
my pleasure, Lyle is one of the few guys you can really trust, he posts sources for everything, and he knows his stuff. His website is a gold mine of valuable information.
-
I mean you are alive, so I guess it is "working", but imagine what you could have achieved with proper nutrition.
-
I can't read all 20 pages haha but do you have any idea how much lean body mass you lost? Just wondering as I am going through a similar journey but doing everything I can to hold onto muscle.
-
I don't think it makes any difference, assuming you are eating sufficient calories, protein and fat. It depends what activities you do, but low carb is fine for vegans. In the end it all gets processed into the same energy in the body.
-
However we do have anecdotal evidence, ie: centuries of strongmen.
-
well I eat essentially zero carbs but I am a meat eater. Make sure to eat tons of fibre, it fills you up. Lentils are your friend.
-
like by eating the flesh of people who eat too little protein? I'm in.
-
Again from Lyle, who literally wrote The Book on protein (http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/the-protein-book/): "So here’s my recommendation, strength/power athletes should aim for 1.5 g/lb protein per day (again, this is about 3.3 g/kg for the metrically inclined). So for a 200 lb strength/power athlete, that’s 300 grams…
-
You weigh 110lbs? If so, great. Although they go on to say that upping that to 2g/kg is advised if eating at a deficit.
-
You might want to look at http://rohitnair.net/pp/ - there are proven programs out there, which often better than what you friend tells you.
-
"Guidelines for protein intake of endurance athletes suggest that cyclists need around 1-1.5 grams of protein for every kilogram of body weight for optimal health and performance." http://cyclingtips.com/2012/04/protein-for-cyclists/
-
this is all you need to read about protein controversy. Read everything by Lyle if you want science. http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/nutrition/protein-controversies.html/
-
you are going to need to be patient, and make sure the routine you are following for lifting is appropriate. Muscle gain is very slow. Worth it though :)
-
this is not a good idea. Count your calories and eat less than you burn, it is that simple. You absolutely must eat enough protein, this is non-negotiable.
-
Think of pictures taken of you as the "before" photos you are going to need when you are the "after" person you are working on.
-
gotta throw this in, from many moons ago.
