I forgot to ask how you have so much time to pick fights with people on here when you are so busy working 60 hour weeks, raising two kids, exercise regularly and keeps a tidy house. Pls explain. Below is where we started.

I got pulled into this argument by WinoGelato. If you all think that I am telling you to do anything then you are just looking for an argument.

Someone asked me what I would suggest to them so i replied. I dont care what you do

My whole point (go back 3 pages or so) was that eating a low sugar high fiber diet was beneficial. It's not necessary nor was my statement insisting that anyone else follow the same diet as me.

ask your dietitian.

lol got me.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26629551 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21037214 https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/sugar-and-inflammation#section2 Dr Rhonda Patrick is the best resource for more readable/ accessible information.

I say eluded because most of the double blind research provides such varying results for different populations. That eludes to the fact that we react differently.

The fact that I agree 95% with CICO and am getting attacked for the 5% shows that this forum is more dogmatic than flat-earthers.

Would you really read a 20 page research paper?

Pretty much all research on health in the past 10 years has eluded to the the fact that everybody digests and reacts differently to certain foods. That is why I said that I would recommend trying for a month. Do what you want and I'm glad that you have found your way.

Try google. Keywords: inflammation, gut micro-biome, cognition, sugar/ glucose.

I recommend trying eating a diet full of whole foods for a month and pay attention to how it affects your cognition and energy levels. If you think eating pasta if worth it still then go for it.

Planch push-ups are impressive. That's a sturdy goal. Wasn't talking to you if that is the case. I am hard, bro. You're not my type tho sorry.

Lol. I find that it mostly leads to one enormous dump. One wipe dismount FTY.

Yea, I think that is most of the "magic." Strong profile pic.

I agree that a lot of it is correlation. Still, me thinks that healthy food (high fiber, high protein, low sugar) = more energy = harder training and better recovery.

Dom is funny and obviously satirical but most of the guys and gals I know that are in fantastic shape follow strict "bro diets" (chicken breast and broccoli) and "bro splits" (low frequency/ high volume training).

I use this a lot to calculate the nutrition of meals that I am not sure what the macro-nutrient contents will turn out to be. Lately I have been eating more intuitively. Yes.. I do eat meals that have less than 10g of fiber.

hmmn, I haven't logged in weeks. What are you seeing?

I do them on back day. If it was a heavy leg day before then I will just to BB rows or weighted pullups instead. Sometimes I plan ahead and do more posterior work on those leg days.

Yes, I do. Taking a cheat day to enjoy these foods is also an option. Stop eating sugar and you will stop craving it.

The main difference between eating bread and broccoli is the fiber. It is a lot about glucose spikes. It has also been shown that diets absent of fiber create breeding grounds for an unhealthy micro-biome. A lot of it comes down to inflammation.

and high in fiber.

Our disagreement is in semantics. Half the threads on here are about people falling off the wagon after following IIFYM. I wonder why? Strong cope on here. Enjoy your mediocrity goals of 2018.

so what is unprocessed food? Foraged mushrooms, dandelions and cattails?

yogurt, broth, frozen veggies and beef certainly are not junk foods nor are they processed-- just canned, frozen etc. I am glad that you can enjoy ice cream and pizza. You're on point on that we all have differing goals. On the flip side, if I was trying to gain weight aggressively (3,500 cals) then I would have to eat…

Eating processed foods, carbs and sugar really do make me feel like garbage. I don't think I am alone in this. It is WAY easier to eat vegetables, eggs, lean meat and water only if you are going for a steep cut (2lbs+ per week). With a clean diet I can go to bed full on 1700 calories easy (1200 cal deficit). I can't…

Sufficient Vitamins and Minerals have shown to help with recovering from injuries of many different types. It has to do with things that are deeper than my knowledge-- enzymes bonding, inflammation, etc. Research and make sure that you are getting enough of key micronutrients. if that means one salad a day, eating animal…

Cut hard, get to a body fat percentage near what you want and then start bulking mid-summer.
