My personal favorite is cinnamon and Splenda (sucralose). It's completely non-nutritive, and it adds a lot of flavor. Coe

First of all, don't worry about the amount of protein per serving. The only difference between Isopure (50g) and Optimum (21g) is the fact that Isopure has a bigger scoop! I know... I know... Optimum is WPC, and Isopure is WPI, but that isn't my point. Anyhow, you might want to try...

You can actually buy maltodextrin at stores that sell home-brewery ingredients (beer shops). Malto is used as some fermentation intermediate in brewing. In the US, it runs pretty cheap, around a dollar per pound. My last dextrose supplier was International Molasses, a confection company...

I've certainly thought of this argument. In fact, I've seen independent assays on a few products, and none of the ones I've seen test out to their label claim. Most products aren't completely off the mark of their labels, but they certain don't abide by the 10:1 ratio. Most products are...

Xenadrine sells. Looking at top sales items from most wholesalers, it sells at about 150% the rate of its closest competitor, Hydroxycut. However, I have a bit of a problem with this supplement; let me tell you why. We all know how ephedrine is considerably more potent as a sympathetic CNS...

I checked Walgreens today. $5.49 for 30 caps @50mg. Not so good. That'd last me 1.5 days. Guess I'll be sticking w/ Kilosports. Coe

I make a zero carb (as in none, nada, nothing) cheesecake recipe, but I have never heard of a low-fat, high-protein. I can give you the recipe if you are interested. Yuuummmmiieee... Coe

You don't have to be in a ketogenic state to drop bodyfat (see my post on insulin sensitivity). Most people do quite well on a restricted-calorie diet that incorporates all of the macronutrients. Making subtle changes in the diet such as replacing a portion of one's carb calories with O3 fat...

I understand what you are saying. My main point in posting my response was in reference to the original post. That person obviously has acquired some muscle mass and probably wants to hold on to it. Do I think Atkins is a good program for the average guy, one whose only concern is to drop...

Two words: insulin sensitivity. People with extreme insulin resistance are usually the ones that do exceptionally well on ketogenic diets. The blessed ones with lower insulin resistance will generally do just fine with a restricted calorie diet. Then again, the insulin resistant crowd may...

Atkins is not the king-god of ketogenic diets. Yes, it is effective, but no one can convince me that it is the optimal keto. First of all, Atkins places minimal emphasis on quality of fats. If a person was to replace the heavy cream he uses on the Atkins program with omega3 acids, the results...

Not the cholesterol debate!!! j/k The cholesterol is, as you said, almost entirely in the yolk. My question is why you are trying to avoid it? Dietary cholesterol has almost no relevance to blood-cholesterol levels. Atheroschlerosis is not a concern of those on a high cholesterol diet, but...

All evidence shows that creatine has to be accompanied by insulin to be effective. This is quite plausible considering creatine is a much larger molecule than glucose, which requires insulin to permeate the membrane of muscle. Acknowledging the fact that creatine is roughly 50% glucogenic (can...

Actually, lactose rates pretty darn low on the glycemic scale, and it has a moderate insulin index. Personally, I think lactose is one of the better carbs out there, assuming you can handle it (which, at 2-3L/day, you obviously can). If you are really trying to kill carb intake, avoid the...

I see where it can be a preference as to whether or not someone should consume post-workout carbs or not, but I don't see any situation where low-GI, low-II carbs would be beneficial. These types of carbs will decrease the rate of digestion for proteins (much like fats), meaning that amino...
