how much fruictose is needed perday to keep the liver converting t3-t4's. lets say if you workout for an hour or 2 whats a good estimate of fruictose you should be getting. i know its a fine line between too much and too little

Ugh. You guys really need to quit listening to Animal for dieting advice. He knows fuck all about the physiology of fat loss. Fructose DECREASES the uptake of t4 into the liver, thus the conversion to t3. Below are a few studies -- in addition, Lyle McDonald has a post on MFW where he picks the Animabolics diet apart -- I am sure it can be found easily with a search.

Some effects of various dietary carbohydrates on thyroid activity in the rat.

Macdonald I.

Department of Physiology, United Medical and Dental Schools, Guy's Hospital, London, UK.

Four groups of 6 rats were given ad libitum diets with over 60% of the energy as sucrose, fructose or glucose for 10 weeks, and were compared to animals given chow. Assessment of thyroid activity was made using metabolic rate, thyroid 123I uptake, and serum thyroid fraction measurement before, after 5 and 10 weeks on the diet, and 6 weeks after return to a control diet. The major effects were that the thyroid 123I uptake was significantly less than control in the rats after 10 weeks on a high carbohydrate diet. Only the animals on the fructose diet showed any consistent and significant falls in serum T3 and FT3, and T4. These findings suggest that the type of dietary carbohydrate may affect thyroid function in rats.

Transport and metabolism of iodothyronines in cultured human hepatocytes.

de Jong M, Visser TJ, Bernard BF, Docter R, Vos RA, Hennemann G, Krenning EP.

Department of Internal Medicine III, Erasmus University Medical School, Rotterdam, The Netherlands.

Thyroid hormone uptake into cultured human hepatocytes was studied using measurement of cell-associated radioactivity of radioiodinated thyroid hormones after 10-min incubation in culture medium with 0.5% BSA. Furthermore, 20-h incubations were performed to study transport and further intracellular metabolism. The results indicate the presence of saturable active uptake systems for T4, T3, and rT3, as addition of the unlabeled hormone (1, 5, and 2 mumol/L, respectively) to the medium resulted in a decrease in cell-associated radioactivity of 20-30%. Inhibition was also achieved after 30-min preincubation with fructose (10 mmol/L), which induces a decrease in intracellular ATP or ouabain (0.5 mmol/L), indicating energy dependence and the necessity for a sodium gradient for at least part of the transport process, respectively. After 20-h incubation, iodide production was inhibited in the presence of ouabain (0.5 mmol/L), propylthiouracil (100 mumol/L), or a monoclonal antibody (81-1A1-10; ascites dilution, 1:200) directed against thyroid hormone transport systems in rat hepatocytes. These data indicate that there is a high degree of similarity between the properties of the uptake process and subsequent conversion of thyroid hormones in human and rat hepatocytes, although the rates of uptake and conversion are lower in human hepatocytes. Furthermore, regulation of thyroid hormone uptake at the level of the plasma membrane may also be operative in human hepatocytes.

T4 uptake into the perfused rat liver and liver T4 uptake in humans are inhibited by fructose.

De Jong M, Docter R, Bernard BF, van der Heijden JT, van Toor H, Krenning EP, Hennemann G.

Department of Internal Medicine III, Erasmus University Rotterdam, The Netherlands.

Recently, we described a two-pool model for 3,5,3'-triiodothyronine uptake and metabolism in the isolated perfused rat liver. Here, we applied this model to investigate transmembrane thyroxine (T4) transport and its possible ATP dependence in vivo. These studies are performed in perfused rat livers during perfusion with or without fructose in the medium, as it has been shown that intracellular ATP is decreased after fructose loading. Furthermore, we studied serum T4 tracer disappearance curves in four human subjects before and after intravenous fructose loading. In the perfused rat liver, we found a decrease in liver ATP concentration and a decrease in medium T4 disappearance and T4 uptake in the liver pool after fructose. Furthermore, it was shown that, when corrected for differences in the medium free hormone concentration, only transport to the metabolizing liver pool was decreased after fructose perfusion, whereas uptake in the nonmetabolizing pool was unaffected. Disposal, corrected for differences in transport into the metabolizing pool, was also not affected after fructose. In the human studies, intravenous fructose administration induced a rise in serum lactic acid and uric acid, indicating a decrease in liver ATP. This was observed concomitant with a decrease in serum tracer T4 disappearance during the first 3 h after fructose administration. These results suggest ATP dependence of transport of iodothyronines into the liver in vivo and show that, in the rat liver and in humans, uptake of T4 may be regulated by intracellular energy stores; in this way the tissue uptake process may affect intracellular metabolism and bioavailability of thyroid hormone.

More accurately, he picks apart Animal's Animabolics Diet post. The diet itself is not that bad. Basically, a TKD with some fruit thrown in, on account of the misunderstanding of physiology mentioned in my previous post.
 
Very nice post/reply as always Par Deus!!! Damn, i'd love to read that Lyle thread...i'll have to dig it up if I can...or unless somebody else can post it here:)

Okay, here is one post -- I am going to see if I can find the original critique that this one references:




"Someone forwarded me the following, I guess from Animal's webpage.
Apparently after I tore up his stupid animalbolics diet. Apparently
he's as shitty at reading as he is as writing. So here's what was sent
to me, followed by my original post.

If Animal would like to debate me here, he's welcome to come do so.

Considering how many folks got really lean/ripped on ketogenic diets,
this sentence alone should make you question things.

And this one. How many thousands of folks have gotten lean eating that
many meals? Or is animal unaware that 5-6 meals of lower than

Since keto meals don't raise insulin signigicantly, I'm not sure what
Animal is talking about here. And, of course, he seems to be ignoring
the thousands of folks who get ripped doing exactly what he says doesn't
work. Hrm....

apparently he's ignorant of the basic fact that liver glycogen empties

Quick note: conversion of carbs to fat is quantiatively insnigificant
under most situations in humans. If you get 10 grams of fat per day
from carb conversion, that's a lot. Animal should try reading before he writes.

Apparently he's unaware that a keto meal (fat and protein) has a
different effect than a mixed meal on hormones and everything else.

I guess he missed the point where they gave them nearly 2000 calories at
that single meal. As if that has ANY relevance to the real world.

but he said above that fructose automatically goes to fat. Fructose is

as he was going along.

And he can't even spell the word 'LOSE'.

But I can spell the word moron. And that's what Animal is.



****
Animal now writes:

>Maybe he can let us know how that warrior diet ripoff is going which
was gospel because somebody else made it up.

I have NO clue what animal is talking about here. Ori Homfelker is the
moron behind the Warrior diet, Animal is the moron behind teh
Animalbolics diet, I am the moron who wrote the ketogenic diet book.



> Let's just point out what a total stupid ass he is. Fructose carbs the liver 2 to 1 better than muscle. Fructose does not raise insulin, EVER. Fructose goes to
fat via pentose blah blah pathway if the liver is already fully carbed.

What Animal writes HERE is correct. Note what he wrote originally which was:

>Fructose goes to fat automatically

NOw he's saying it ONLY does so when liver glycogen is full.
Which is it Animal. Does fructose automaticaly go to fat, or does it
ONLy go to fat when liver glycogen is full? Or are you going to keep
changing your argument every other day?



>Oh yea, and 'hardly any carbs go to fat over the course of a day'
AHAHAHA! What a fucking dolt and look at the 50% obesity in the US where
they followed
the high carb diet for the last 25 years.

What Animal obviously fails to realize is that the American diet is high
calorie, high carbs AND high fat. To call it a high carb diet shows his
ignorance which is nearly absolute. Average Americna intake of
nutrients is in the range of 37% fat, somethng like 43% carbs, and the
rest protein. That's hardly high carbs by the normal definition. And
it's high calorie. Again, Animal is just spouting off nonsense.



> Damn he is stupid and doesn't even know elementary facts that extra
glucose in the blood is going to go into FAT CELLS when the muscles
can't take anymore and in fact,

This is true, the glycerol in fat cells can ONLY be made from dietary glucose.



> the muscles will leak back glucose if they are overcompensated, too!

Incorrect, muscles lack the enzyme necessary for this to occur. Basic
biochemistry, Animal. Once stored in muscle, glycogen can only go to
oxidation it can NOT get back into the bloodstream.



>Note how he pulled a CROCK and changed the
subject with that, too. 'Glucose can't go to fat' which entirely
ignores the glucose going into the fat cell. A true ass.

Glucose being stored as glycerol in fat cells is different than de novo
lipogenesis (DNL), which is the conversion of glucose to fat. The first
occurs, the second is quantiatively irrelevant. See work by Hellerstein.



> And king jackass does it again by claiming
the study listed demonstrating the affects of a mixed is meaningless
because HE SAYS SO! AHAH! I guess everybody eats one nutrient at a time
until it's digested, right fuck=up? The fact is that it demonstrates
what happens AFTER a meal regardless of caloric intake

The point in contention. animal cited the following study and I
commented:

> Following ingestion of a test meal consisting of cereal, skim milk, scrambled eggs, French toast,
> apple juice, and a milk shake [200 g (60% or 800 calories) carbohydrate, 45 g (21% fat or 405

My comment:
I guess he missed the point where they gave them nearly 2000 calories at
that single meal. As if that has ANY relevance to the real world.

My point wasn't about it being a mixed meal. It was about them giving
2000 calories at a given meal and him drawing conclusions about it
relative to anything. Nobody eats 2000 calories in a single meal.
Well, not if they have any sense.



>and in that article a didn't put up the study showing that every subsequent
meal raises insulin higher than the previous meal even if the calories
ARE THE SAME! Got it? Eat, insulin goes up, eat the same thing, insulin
goes up higher! I think I'll repeat that 4 more times because I love
insulin!

yeah, 4X2000 calorie meals/day will make you fat, that's for sure.
4X300 calorie meals, even high carb won't.
Unnerstasnd the math here, Animal?



>Hey liely, I guess insulin doesn't stop lipolysis in your world, right?
HAHA!

Insulin does stop lipolysis, at evne low concentrations.
yet people get ripped on lowcalorie, high carb diets. Please explain.

Your turn Animal, feel free to debate me here. Don't be a pussy and
just write bullshit on your little webpage where I can' ream you back.

Par Deus, what works that won't eat muscle?

I'm using animalbolics, but not at all like you described. Hell, maybe I just extracted the point of the diet and made it better myself. Since begining 10 weeks ago I have went from 11% to 7% and not lost a pound. Anyway, for such a shity diet, it works pretty well.

Maybe you should argue apples to apples. Your just as bad as Animal about reading the parts you want and filtering the rest because you guys are both salesmen trying to get peoples money.

ANIMALBOLICS WORKS IF FOLLOW SIMPLE GUIDELINES!

1) keep insulin levels low UNTILL post-workout
2)To lean up you must burn more calories than you consume
3)Eat high glycemic post workout shake with a little protein in it (Animals suggestion of 1g carb/kilo of bodywieght and 1/3 that amount of protein works great)
4) do not be an idiot and eat fruit all day. That would go against keeping insulin levels low.

Animal can be a dick and irrational. That doesn't mean he wasn't on to something with this idea.

flash, yes this animalbolics diet does work verywell but i think it needs just a tad of modifications im thinking about dropping the fruit throughout the day, i may be getting in too much fruictose. what is your animalbolic diet flash? how have you modified it? thanks for your help!!
 
its funny about how people on these boards resort to name calling and personal attacts, when its just all about learning here. not who is mister bad ass. PEACE THE FUCK OUT FEWL:fro:
 
FLASH, I think you missed the point of Par and Lyle, it is not that Animal's diet is bad, or won't work....it is that his explanations of biochemistry is incorrect. Animal is insisting, blindly in the face of direct evidence, that his diet is the only diet and that ketogenic diets and high carb diets CANNOT work.

I have asserted many of times that most diets work, no matter what the premise....the grapefruit diet, vegan diets, low carb diets, etc., simply because of one property, -reduced calories.

Finally, for Animal to state that he was the first to devise this concept is erroneous. The Hellers wrote the Carbohydrate Addicts Diet, which advocated low carb meals throughtout the day, with one "cheat" meal consisting of carbohydrates. Then Duchaine wrote an article in an old MM2K issue that talked about eating the majority of one's calories around the workout. His concept is not new.
 
"its funny about how people on these boards resort to name calling and personal attacts, when its just all about learning here. not who is mister bad ass. PEACE THE FUCK OUT"

Yes, it is funny...especially since you did this very thing by stating that Lyle is a "skinny ass beanpole" and "little twerp", and therefore his information is invalid. Truth is truth.

"i know this is bad but lyle mcdonal is a skinny ass bean pole i dont like taking these little twerps advice that have all these studies and whatnot. if the studies work that they present why arent they big and cut themselves"

By your assertion, then anyone who does steroids should have a pro's physique. If I remember correctly Duchaine only weighed around 180-190 lbs, but that did not affect his knowledge.
 
oops you got me there, but so what i set my self up:p

yes i DO believe if you do roids you should have a kick ass physic, im bigger and in better shape than some of people on juice. if you physic is still sub par either still fat or not much muscle than in my opinon your either giving half ass workouts or no nothing about your diet. but your takin this offtopic but, if you want to go off topic ill go there.

duchaine is dead by the way, so i dont think im gonna take his advice he already in the hole from all the shit he took, nothin against the fella R.I.P.

i can already tell this is going to turn into one of those silly bitchin arguments so i will depart peacfully:teleport:
 
as you said cockdezl truth is truth. these guys just gather facts but they OBVIOUSLY dont test them the right way because look at LYLE he is SMALLLLLLL and WEAK
 
cockdezl: I didn't know a lot about dieting untill a couple of years ago, so I wasn't aware of ANY of duchaines theories, or any of the aforementioned ideas (sheds a little new light on Animal...hehehe) I was just saying A'bolics works. It's obvious Par Deus doesn't like Animal, so I didn't want nclifter6feet6 to not ry it.

nclifter6feet6 heres my diet:

My cousin ran a 4.5-4.6 and could bench 400 lbs as a senior in highschool -- he obviously must have really known a great deal about training, nutrition, and supplementation, huh...???

Actually, now that I think about it, he never took so much as a multivitamin, ate whatever he wanted, and the only time he even worked out was with the football team.
 
Sounds like I just got a free sample of "ONE":D

Sorry to ruffle feathers Par. Your word selection is why I assumed you had a thing against Animal.
 
Regardless of what everyone has to say about eachother, (Not anyone on this board, im refering to lyle, animal etc) Animal's diet does work very very well. I don't know how many people on this board have stuck to this diet for a considerable amount of time, but i do think you'd have a hard time finding someone that didnt like their results. As for the people who haven't tried this diet, i would give it a shot.

A few of the comments that Lyle made about Animal's post were correct, and a few of them were bases on comments that I never even saw animal make. I never remember animal claiming that ketogenic diets do now work, however I do remember him claiming that 5 or 6 meals a day don't work. So yes, some of his facts may be incorrect, and i think alot of his comments such as the 5 or 6 meal a day comment, are based on advertising. Many authors of diets open up there books claiming that other competing diets is what caused the reader to become fat, it is a normal practice in the industry. These comments are very similar to animal's claims and should be taken as opinion and not fact.

Now.. In these arguments there are many qoutes from scientific studies, etc etc. None of these qoutes go into great detail about the experiment. Therefore, the credibility and proper scientific method of these studies cannot be proved. It is unfortunate that anyone can look up studies on something they are trying to prove, and although there will be studies verifying the beliefs of that person, you can bet alot of money, that it would not be that hard to find a conflicting study.

I also happen to think that if you read through Lyle's post that he misunderstood alot of things Animal was trying to say, and Animal also overemphasized alot of things that he probably was obviously not knowledgable to state. Basic facts are that all diets conflict with eachother, and every diet will tell you that the other diet is wrong. You can find one person that will tell you this diet did wonders, and you will find one person that tells you it was no good at all. Peoples bodys are different. Different approaches to dieting will effect different people in different ways. Myself, I feel that this diet is perfect for. I BELIEVE I have a very high sensitivity to insulin. I am tired very frequently after carb meals, my body is bloated constantly, and I have what I BELIEVE to be many other insulin sensitive type traits. While on this diet, I feel better during the day, I am not as bloated, and my head feels like it is on more straight. When I am done working out and i finally get to eat those carbs, that I have to admit sometimes i am feening for, I honestly can feel in my body that I have recieved the right stuff, a sort of fullness that i cant describe, which feels like "just what I needed".

And finally this diet gives me results. So if they argue about it more and more, each one can come back with intelligent answers, because there is a slew of reports out there that will back either of them up. Overall I'm just trying to point out that this diet works VERY well for me, it may not for you, but i just dont want people to look at this post and think that this diet is a crock because it is not. Lyle may be the scientific person and can point out these mistakes that Animal made, but Animal is in the real world and has tried out these principals himself and found that they work. So with his "sub" basic knowledge of physiology of fat loss he tried to explain it. Lyle picked him apart. I've read Lyle's books and he is a very educated man, that is of no doubt, but the fact remains that if one was dedicated to his cause, they could find flaws in Lyle's theories and studies and post the same kind of stuff making Lyle look as stupid as Animal looks in this post. Also, theories are not made by one person, scientific discoveries are advancing, and people pick up on mistakes and correct them, and then that theory is more solid, the discovery is more useful. So this is great that Lyle and Animal fight. Some holes have been discovered, and now they are patched up, and Lyle just helped to contribute to Animal's theory, and well all benefit from it.

That is stretching it quite a bit.
 
maybe it is.. comparing him to animal.. but i still think that someone could find flaws in lyles theories.. if they are true or not.. someone might be able to find conflicting research. All I really wanted to get across is that the diet does work, although it does work better with some modifications to the main idea.
 
What a funny thread. It's true that Lyle is a poor physical specimen for his theories, but that does not make his theories bad or wrong. It's true that Animal shoots his mouth off far too much about stuff that he only partly grasps the concepts of, but that doesn't mean his diet doesn't work. It's ridiculously untrue that eating 6 small meals a day makes you fat. This statement is so laughably untrue that I never even bothered reading the rest of Animal's diet when he first splashed it on the web. That was too idiotic for me.

SCHNiKEN, you can find flaws in anyone's theories, including LMcD and Duchaine. At least both of these people were constantly reassessing their theories in the light of new research and results. Animal appears to have too much pride to ever back down on anything once he's made a statement. Do what works and don't stress the theory too much. And if you want to know more about some of those studies, the info is available if you go to a library and read the entire research article rather than just the abstract. I'm sure you'll find more detail than you really want to know..........
 
I believe Lyle made an ass out of himself when he spammed Dr Siffs "Supertraining" board with his attack on him.

Lyle is smart but there are others out there that make Lyle look dumb in comparison.
