I'M TAKING CARE OF IT.

Please refrain from posting that garbage :|

Not that I've ever heard of. It's rare to be diabetic or insulin resistant, and odds are, you are neither. Of course there's a chance, and as such you should talk to your doctor, but just saying. For people who don't have a clinical condition requiring them to eat low carb, *there is no metabolic advantage to a low carb…

I mean, in the sense that they are hormones, yes. But insulin's function is nothing like testosterone or estrogen, which are sex hormones as you probably know. Excessive glucose in the blood stream = very dangerous. Insulin is secreted when your body has glucose in the blood stream, and insulin acts to store the glucose so…

Stop taking your trainer's word on everything. He studied physiology, NOT nutrition. Ask a doctor if you're insulin resistant. If you aren't, then you will see NO METABOLIC BENEFIT to eating low carb. Unless you prefer to, there's really no reason to.

He's wrong. When you eat carbs, insulin (a hormone inside your body) is spiked. The act of insulin is to store glucose in the blood stream. Long story short: this is a normal process, and it does NOT make you fat. Your trainer is wrong if he is implying carbs make you fat. Excess calories make you fat. Period. The only…

Eat whenever the heck you feel like it. Meal timing/frequency has no bearing on body composition outside of people who are exercising after long hours of fasting (24-48 hours or more), or performing multiple glycogen-depleting workouts in a single day. So, eat whenever you want.

You must have a liberal definition of what qualifies as "lifting" since the only videos I've seen of him "lifting" involves heavy weight being dropped on his head ;]

Oh I just saw him at the gym, and he's too busy dropping weight on his head. Post-edit edit: this site shows you editing your comment even if you edit it 3 seconds after you make it? Get with the times, MFP.

HAY GUYS. What's going on in this thread?

Diet soda doesn't cause an increase in weight gain; there's just a correlation between drinking diet soda and being overweight.

Sounds like you should try to surround yourself with more credible doctors.

Anything is bad in uncontrolled, sedentary, hypercaloric settings. Eating too much broccoli can be bad under the right circumstances, and saturated fat is no different. If you eat saturated fat in a healthy diet with an active lifestyle, it has benefits. If you eat it in an unhealthy diet with a sedentary lifestyle, it…

Don't be too short with the guy. Let's not forget that you've spewed out NEW dogma that is unfounded in science. The guy is at very least calm and being respectful. He's not lashing out.

Chuckw40? More like Chuck420.

Here's a good start: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2763382/ This has some good insight, too: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18635428 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21437105 And this is a short (maybe 15 minute read total) 2-part series that EVERYONE should read if they want to learn more regarding…

If you're in a caloric deficit, the dietary fat you eat will be burned off regardless. You're focusing too much on the short-term effects of dietary fat. Yes, a large amount of it will be stored, but if you're in a deficit at the end of the day, then guess what? NET fat loss. Markers of health improve almost entirely…

You can stop eating whenever you want. Your body doesn't care what time you eat. Like, at all.

No. YOU are missing MY point. FDA claiming aspartame is safe =/= legalizing cigarettes. No one in the government is saying cigarettes are safe; in fact they are legally obligated to put a warning on every carton saying there is a health risk involved with smoking. You are pretending the ruling regarding cigarettes has ANY…

Is the government claiming cigarettes to be safe?

The poster is talking about government conspiracy theories regarding the legalization of aspartame for government profit. Crazy.

Actually, it's not "common sense," it's your WRONG perspective based on some dogmatic belief. I assume you've never taken advantage of western medicine with that mentality. Have fun with your diet entirely composed of organic fruits and vegetables.

100% false.

Blaming the government with zero proof when there is AMPLE proof that artificial sweeteners are safe IS actually crazy in my book. Especially when it's to the point that they block out all conflicting information that sheds actual light on the matter. The extent/intensity of their beliefs is what matters.

The cigarette argument is strawman which does nothing to prove your point. At all. I never said the government is clean as a whistle or remotely non-corrupt. However, there are institutions worldwide that have found aspartame and other artificial sweeteners to be perfectly safe. These are institutions that have no…

Pics of girl or gtfo. (not srs)

Your tinfoil hat is restricting blood flow to your brain.

Looks like someone else is brainwashed by the Mercola cult.

This article is based off correlational research. There's a correlation between ice cream and murders, global temperature and drop in pirates, wearing wigs and hair loss. That doesn't mean there's a cause/effect relationship between the two.

It doesn't matter when you drink which type of shake. You can drink casein 2 hours post-workout or whey 30 minutes post-workout and your results will be EXACTLY the same.
