That's a very important point that the majority of people don't comprehend. Dropping calories too far below your setpoint causes the body to slow down metabolism to compensate. You can't fool with millions of years of evolution - the body is smarter than that. eat eat.

Only if a adequate amount of calories are ingested. There is no guarantee that you will always be burning bodyfat.

If it's performance you're after, you postworkout shake should be consumed immediately, with a piece of fresh fruit. If it's fat loss you are after, stick to easily digestible protein and fat. A good post workout fat loss drink consists of one scoop of whey protein, a tablespoon of Flax, and...

My post was more of a "heads up" as opposed to a recommended change. Your choices of carbohydrates are mostly low glycemic, thus I'm not overly concerned. I'd probably change the morning cardio as previously mentioned, and move the hardboiled eggs to earlier in the day, and opt for a easily...

You'll probably enjoy a couple weeks of weight loss (notice I said weight loss, not fat loss) due to the reduction in carbohydrates/calories. After a couple weeks your levels of T3 hormone (which are responsible for the regulation of metabolism) will start to decline as the body compensates for...

Wrong. Cardio can facilitate fat loss but in no means is it required to achieve a lean body. I seldom do cardio, opting to rely on my diet and strength training/muscle building to get me ripped. I don't even touch a Stairmaster or Treadmill until I'm at single digit bodyfat levels, and use...

Periodic carb ups are needed to use insulin to drive protein into the muscles for systhesis, as well as keep T3 levels from dropping - which happens if the body feels it's not getting enough calories. Not only that, but carb ups provide a release of serotonin for the brain to promote a...

Wow, that's a lot of peanut butter. ;)

I've never used GH, or any other type of drug before. Isn't it rather expensive for GH injections?

fructose is the favored fuel for liver glycogen, whereas glucose is favored for muscle glycogen. Fructose is actually worse for sustained energy than glucose.

Lots and lots of Starchy carbs.

I was thinking the exact same thing. "George" I said to myself when I first saw the pics. :)

Good post Early Riser. ;)

I do a modified cyclic keto diet in which I build muscle and shed bodyfat at the same time. There are many varations of the ketogenic diet - some obviously better than others for promoting muscle gain as opposed to preservation.

Bad advise. I'm curious, how the hell did you calculate exactly 5.9% bodyfat?????
