Hey. I have a bunch of questions that I thought of last night. Ill cover a few in this post, please if you are going to reply attempt to satisfy all the questions to the best of your ability. No one liners for a full page post. Those piss me off , as they probably do to you too
1) In Body For Life, how can you possibly lose body fat if you eat every two hours and eat carbs in every meal? Wont insulin levels be perpetually elevated in that it will inhibit fat loss? How long does the insulin surge last for (High GI carbs+Protein+Some Fat?)
2)
a) If you gain say 10 lbs muscle, by how much will your metabolism increase? Is there a formula for this or does this depend on the individual?
b) I know that muscle boosts your Daily maintenance levels because of increased muscle mass. Does cardio do the same, or does it just train you cardio-vascularly?
3) Could you please explain delay onset muscle sorness (DOMS)?
4) Some days I do not feel hungry while dieting. Does this mean Im not losing bfIs most bf burned at night while I rest?
5) Dr. Atkins says that Aspartame is not allowed in his diet. I read one of the sweeteners I have in this house, and it read Ingredients: 94%lactose, 6%aspartame.
WTF! And i was using this sweeteners all the time and avoiding dairy like the plague.
So my question is, will drinking diet coke impede my fat loss endeavours? It has aspartame, and im wondering if it has lactose too, since it~s a sugar.
6) Is there such a thing as overtraining cardio wise? Im Brazilian, and Im back in my home country now after being in Paris for a long while, and Im playing soccer compulsively. Is this bad?
PLEASE, attempt to answer all questions.
Thanks, blood
