I used to train with an NPC competitor we called Superman Mike who, if he was eating McDonalds cheeseburgers and wanted to shed wet weight, he would eat MORE McDonalds cheeseburgers. Not saying you should do this just sharing an anecdote. He's a freak of nature.

Bump because I agree with above post.

I do eat the same thing every night post workout: 4oz chicken 1c white kideny beans 1/2c brown rice 1c green fibrous vegetables

Yeah I noticed someone else posted it. Some people are fine like yukon. Me? I'm ravenous an hour later. In addition, working in a busy NYC lab with flexible hours... it's much easier for me to just wait till I get home to eat everything instead of lugging food in the subway.

Its not impossible. It's just not smart.

No, you're correct. Consider more frequent increases in blood volume due to exercise (which I don't know the exact volumes but it's significant) causes more water and nutrient retention. Adaptation would also have the body think to upregulate EPO production to adjust to the change in daily physical demands resulting in…

Hahaha I was amused by that. I find cooking therapeutic.

I could lose weight and eat only ice cream if I wanted to, but I never said it's a good idea. Weight loss = calories in< calories out. Bottom line. Where it comes from, now that's another story.

Probably gaining lean body mass in which muscle is 3x the density of fat storages. My suggestion: dont step on the scale at all for the next month as this is going to continue. Body composition is rearranging.

When ethanol, a toxin, is introduced to the body all metabolic processes of other macronutrients halt indefinitely until alcohol is removed from the system. Therefore anything ingested prior to, during, or too soon after is subject to storage in adipose tissue as it won't be used for immediate energy use. On a plus note:…

Always. My diet is set up the morning of or the night before to make sure macros are in check and I've varied my food intake for micronutrient balance.

Resistance training does all those things. It also burns more calories than cardio even after you stop working out as recovery is an anabolic and energy using process. Energy expenditure form cardio begins and ends with the power button (HIIT is an exception). Increased lean body mass increases BMR, stimulates GH/IGF…

Macronutrients: Protein - the nitrogenous peptide structures that are everything "you." Not just lean muscle, DNA codes genes code RNA code proteins that make your eye color, hair shape, skin tone, digestive enzymes, voice box... You are the proteins you make. Fat - long carbon chains either saturated or partially…

This too.

HAHAHAH. That made my morning in a dark, sick and twisted way.

Resistance training > cardio. Cardio is unnecessary. And there's 100 reasons why.

Yup - the remedy is counter to what you think it would be.

You again? Pshh. Macros do matter - and it's a better method than counting calories to support proper nutritional quota. Calories can be used to set a baseline daily limitation on intake.

All about the deload week....or 3 lol. I eat the same way - no reason to change. I could use the hypercaloric time period to allow my body to rehab the daily massacre I put it through.

Ehhhh... debatable on timing. Some suggest you shouldn't drink a lot of water with meals rather than between I say drink as much water as you want it doesn't matter. The human body is 70% water - you will fluctuate ~5lbs through the day. If you're not used to drinking higher water volumes (which yours is normal) then it…

When its all said and done and broken down all carbs are just a collection of one thing: glucose. All of them are insulinogenic, all of them become sugar eventually. Some faster than others. "Good carbs" are more nutrient dense and have a lower glycemic index. Carbohydrate consumption is not required.

x2

Quinoa <3 1/2 dry quinoa in a saucepan toast on medium heat until aromatic and have that "toasted" color. Add 1c water, chicken broth/stock, whatever. Allow to simmer until moisture has evaporated. In a separate pan combine your favorite vegetables (green peppers, tomato, onion, mushroom, asparagus...) with 2 tbsp oilve…

Nothing. I don't start eating till 6PM :)

Yes. I prefer it. Actually I am one. Oh wait, I run a personal training company.... and I still have a trainer!

Its all diet. Sorry, hard truth. Localized fat loss is a myth.

Meal frequency is irrelevant. As long as you hit your macros for the day and maintain a steady feeding window. I like to eat 2 meals: one before (30% of daily intake) and after workout (70% of daily intake). Fast 20 hours/day, eat within 4 hours.

Have fun in the bathroom... bring a book lol.
