Creating Weakness | Brad Pilon's 'Eat Blog Eat'

It’s been a while since I really felt ‘right’ about my lifting. For the longest time, I thought that I simply didn’t care as much as I used to, but now I’m sure that I still care. In fact, the problem wasn’t one of caring, but of belief.I didn’t believe that lifting needed to be what it seems to have turned into…I started lifting weights in high school for a number of different reasons, but none of those reasons were competitive sports.I am not an athlete.I can remember when I was first introduced lifting weights for the purpose of bodybuilding, and I can remember how it was portrayed as a ‘thinking persons’ activity – a physical sort of philosophy. The way Arnold and Frank Zane and Lee Haney all talked about weight training, it was more akin to yoga and meditation then it was football or MMA. It was a physical chess match between you and yourself, and it was this approach to weight training that appealed to me.Lately lifting has turned into sport where we compete on youtube by posting videos of our best lifts, or compete in crossfit or powerlifting or even obstacle courses, we race and we challenge based on time or speed or weight… or level of pukey exhaustion.We create haphazard workout programs based on the latest ‘proven’ scientific theories, instead of doing what we WANT to do.The science has taken over, and the art has died.This isn’t a judgment on how you train now, but on how I have trained in the past.Pushing to the point of breaking, always sore, always ‘almost injured’

Why can I eat carbs? | Brad Pilon's 'Eat Blog Eat'

July 23, 2014

Yesterday I read another article that took the position of excess calories not CAUSING weight gain. Instead, the authors argued that somehow sick/diseased/altered body fat caused us to overeat, thus causing body fat. Their theory put the blame on insulin and carbs (excess insulin MAKES your fat sick).While I have concerns over this line of thinking that I’ll share in a different post, the main question that swirled in my head was “If so many people have issues with eating carbohydrates, then why can I eat carbs?”The easy answer to this question would be the ‘snowflake’ defense – That I’m a unique little snowflake, special in this world. I have some sort of rare unique ability to process carbohydrates…  But that’s not a probable answer.I, like most of us, am average. Sure, we all have areas in life where we excel, but physiologically speaking I’m not gifted by any means, but I do eat carbs… lots of them

Reverse Taper Intermittent Fasting | Brad Pilon's 'Eat Blog Eat'

April 14, 2014

The concept of the Reverse Taper Diets is still one of my favorite ideas.Without getting too technical, the concept was that you should be in your largest calorie deficit (eating the least amount of food) at the beginning of your diet, when you have the most fat to lose and thus the most fat available to be used as a fuel. Then, as you slowly lose fat you also slowly up your calories, ideally ending at a spot where you are eating maintenance level calories when you are at your leanest.The benefit of dieting in this manner is two fold: Firstly, you have much less risk of rebound weight gain. At the end of the diet, you would be eating exactly the amount you need to eat to maintain your new ideal body. Secondly, you would always have available energy so you could workout and so your energy levels didn’t diminish the further into the diet you lasted (lots of people complain about not having enough energy to workout by the end weeks of a traditional diet).The only problem that seems to come up with this  approach is that people don’t like to fiddle with their calories, and they also have a very hard time increasing their calories if they’re seeing really good  fat loss progress with the lower Calorie amounts.

The Dangers of Metabolic Adaptation | Brad Pilon's 'Eat Blog Eat'

The concept of metabolic adaption is scary to me. Not because it’s right or wrong, but because it’s often prescribed to dieters without any examination.People are told that if they have been dieting for a long period of time and are now having problems losing weight, then their hormone levels have been compromised by all the dieting and therefore they must ‘eat up’ for a length of time to restore their hormone levels.And this *MAY* be true, but it also may not be true.The problem with telling a person that their hormones levels are up or down is that you typically do not have any kind of baseline measurements.It’s rare to hear that a person has a record of their blood profiles that were recorded when they were at their healthiest or at their ideal (ie. not overweight and not dieting).Even if blood samples were taken right before a diet started, these numbers would be confounded by the fact the person most likely has extra fat to lose (so the levels may not be a true ideal, but instead depressed or elevated by the extra fat).Most of the time, ‘metabolic adaptation’ is being diagnosed, and changes in hormone levels are being blamed, without a baseline measurement to compare to. And without a baseline, you’re just guessing.Yes, we do have population averages – but typically these are wide ranges, sometimes very wide.

Unquestionably, the coolest diet hack to come across my radar in the past few years is a technique known as Intermittent Fasting (IF).  IF has a small, but cult-like following that is growing in numbers at an impressive rate.  If would probably be growing even faster if it wasn’t so completely puzzling for most people that encounter it.  To the uneducated, intermittent fasting probably doesn’t look that dissimilar from simple starvation
