As far as leptin and refeeds, you can also check out these: http://www.musclemonthly.com/articles/010515/010515-haycock-howz-it-work.htm http://www.musclemonthly.com/articles/010115/010115-volk-body-talk.htm Also, if you have the time, here are a bunch of threads dealing with leptin/refeeds...

I think most of the studies indicate 1.2-1.8 grams of protein/kg of bodyweight. The high end is usually just rounded to 1 g/lbs of bodyweight. Here's at least one of the studies: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=1474076&dopt=Abstract One thing I...

Not really looking to argue here. Y'all can can make up your own minds. But here's some information you might like to consider. First, from Lyle Mcdonald: Here's the deal. There is NO doubt taht you use a greater percentage of fat as fuel in the fasted state (i.e. after going many hours...

Aww, don't be so hard on yourself.

Time of day means essentially nothing, because the actual "fuel" used during exercise means essentially nothing in regard to overall fat loss, except that doing cardio in a carb-depleted state probably eats away even more muscle. What does count is overall calorie balance. If you burn fat...

If you want to get technical, no. The "thermic effect" of food differs by macronutrient. Protein has the highest thermic effect, at about 25% Carbs are next, at about 10-20% Fat is lowest, at about 3% So, for 100 calories ingested, you'd burn: 25 if Protein, leaving 75 15 if Carbs...

Actually, I don't think, caffeine by itself, raises insulin levels. I think the studies show caffeine, in conjunction with carbs/glucose, can produce higher insulin levels.

Been awhile since I looked at ALA. But Mr BMJ, isn't the reason "calories are being used for fuel and repair" due to the increased insulin sensitivity caused by exercise? So, logically, following exercise you already have close to the ideal situation: increased insulin sensitivity in muscle...

Look, y'all. Par Deus was very civil in his first post. The point isn't that Monstar or anyone else was "trying to take credit" for the article. The point is it is copyrighted, and written specifically for AnabolicExtreme, and Monstar didn't even provide a link to the original article. It...

I think there are times that combinations make sense. Like during refeeds, I try to make it very low-fat and high carbs. But that's due to the info I've seen that it takes 24-36 hours before your body will start storing carbs as fat. Overall, I don't think there's any evidence that food...

Monstar, this is basically what I'm doing now, and what I did last spring/summer. I'm only about 165, so the numbers are low. As for percentages, I guess it's around 40/30/30. I'm currently doing about 2200 a day, with above 4000 refeed on Saturday (Thrusday this week). When (if) I go below...

Hmm. Per Lyle Mcdonald: http://groups.google.com/groups?q=food+combining+group:misc.fitness.weights+author:Lyle+author:Mcdonald&hl=en&rnum=1&selm=3BB377AD.603DE9BC%40onr.com

Food combining is basically voodoo BS. Your body can store fat completely independant of insulin. As well, the protein ingested will also cause insulin release.

Hmm. That seems logical, but here's another post by Lyle that seems to be applying the same 3 week adaptation to CKD's as well...

Fonz: Any real "metabolic inefficiency" derived from keto diets occurs ONLY during the the first 2-3 weeks. After that, it's back to basically a calorie issue. From Lyle Mcdonald...
