Fasting and Steroids

Ok, Warning – I get pretty philosophical with this post.
Number one question I get about fasting?
What about losing muscle mass?

The truth is (as I point out in Eat Stop Eat) you don’t lose muscle while following Eat Stop Eat because you are resistance training AND fasting.
Of course, this naturally leads to questions about how much protein a person should be eating.
In fact, there were enough questions about protein that I ended up having to write my book “How Much Protein?” to properly answer the questions.
These questions led me to some questions of my own…
Mainly…
Why Protein?

If people are so concerned about their muscle mass, why is it protein that they asked about? Why not anabolic steroids?
After all even the most DIE HARD protein pusher will admit that the effectiveness of protein is very limited.
Protein just isn’t going to make you massive.
Anabolic steroids on the other hand…They have a very good track […]

This question kept me up late last night:
Why don’t you make shopping lists for people instead of meal plans? let people make what they want, when they want it. when the food is out, you’re done eating until the next shopping list is published.

Really, its a very good idea.
A predetermined weekly shopping list that contains a set number of calories, fruits and vegetables provides an incredible amount of flexibility while at the same time helping people ‘target’ a certain calorie intake.
Basically, take a weekly calorie goal, and eat it through out the week in any manner you like. Once meal per day, three meals per day, 32 meals per day….what ever suits you best. BUT, when the food runs out..the food runs out.
This would be a great way to learn what a certain calorie intake ‘feels’ like.
The simplicity and logic makes this an intriguing idea.
I checked with John Barban and […]

Vonnie Wescott today, after losing 30 lbs with KnuckleUp!

Vonnie in July 2008, before joining the gym, at 175lbs.

One of the most rewarding experiences a gym can ask for is to be part of its members’ fitness and wellness success. It is humbling to know that we performed a small part in reaching their fitness goals, and we’re always proud of assisting tons of students in the best way that we can.
However, there’s only so much KnuckleUp can do; every student that challenges themselves, that battles against a comfy couch or a double bacon cheeseburger, and shows up for class irregardless, is a major winner.
Today, we’re celebrating Vonnie Wescott’s win over her personal battles against a sedentary desk job lifestyle.
This is what Vonnie told me about her experience with KnuckleUp:
In college I was about 135/140, and once I got my desk job I got up to 175! I knew I needed […]

Time to talk about your body's potent fat burning hormone: HGH. I wanted to let you guys know up front that this post isn't a grand scheme to sell some sort of HGH supplement. There are some pills and supplements that can make a little difference, but this article will be dedicated to increasing your Human Growth Hormone (HGH) with just a solid diet and exercise routine. I've talked in passing about HGH in the past, but felt the need for a post that goes a bit more in depth.

[The science behind HGH is as simple or as complex as you want to make it. I will touch on how HGH works in your body, but mainly focus on actions you can take to increase this natural fat burning hormone in your body. Oh yeah, this picture is suppose to be a mad scientist.]
The Basics: What is HGH (Human Growth […]
