For those trying to lose/gain weight…

“Remember,no one has ever EVER has NOT lost weight under controlled conditions in research when a caloric deficit has been imposed. Conversely, not ever in the history of research has someone achieved continual weight loss under hypercaloric conditions.”

For the low-carb freaks…

"Low carb diets promote weight loss by a few different mechanisms. First, cutting carbs out reduces calories. 2nd, carb reduction leads to a reduction in intramuscular water associated with glycogen storage. 3rd, a proportional increase in protein help control hunger, and thus less calories are consumed.

HOWEVER.

What ketards tend to do is cite research comparing low-protein diets with adequate protein diets. Duh, of course adequate protein is going to be the better choice. Also, it’s not a matter of black-and-white; varying carb levels suit varying training volumes. Desk job folks who exercise 3 hours per week & sit the rest of the time are going to require less carbs than guys who train 5 days a week for 90 minutes a shot. Lotta contingencies here that have to be considered. One thing is certain though, there’s is no “metabolic advantage” to carb reduction. There IS, however, a host of advantages to a diet that contains sufficient protein compared to a diet that doesn’t – regardless of carb intake.

Here’s an example of controlled research comparing keto & nonketo dieting (both groups with adequately matched protein intakes, with food provided by the lab instead of self-reported):

travis, stop quoting other people work and put in ur own 2 cents.

the best diet i have come across is a KETO. this is about 60-65% fat, 30% pro and 5% carbs (from green leafy veggies). this diet forces you to burn up the glycogen stores and use fat as a main energy source. this diet can be taxing though because of the high concentration of saturated fats and what i noticed, as soon as u stop it u are incredibly gassy and i had major digestion issues for about 1.5 weeks. i can only assume this was because of the amount of fat i was eating and the lack of fiber that when re-intoduced into my system, it went crazy and i was blowing up like a baloon.

a carb cycle is great too. 3 days low carbs, 1 day high carbs.

what people dont understand is that cardio done fasted is the best. as soon as u wake up, hit 45 mins cardio with nothing in your belly. this is also when u are in a low glycogen storage state but…u are also catobolic so i choose not to.

one other misconception is how hard u do cardio. mainly u want to keep your heart rate at around 65% your max rate. anything higher and its a cardiovascular exercise and your body going into a reserve state where its going to save fat stores.

HIIT is also another good way to lose some fat lbs but only do it for 2 weeks or so. have read articles that it will tax your muscles in a bad way. so do some reasearch on it if u choose to try it because i see many people doing it wrong.
