Good read on Whey and milk that spike your insulin.

Anyone tried out Kris Gethin's 12 week program?

I am, week 4 now. But I only follow the workouts, and not the diet though.

I m watching the video too. I get a lot of info there. Too bad I m working now which make it impossible for me to follow d program. Too bad.

1 hand 1 barbell!

I would've posted, but I don't want to bring it back to the first page and end up giving him publicity.

Hey guys, im facing a serious problem now. Started cutting for about 2 months and managed to drop around 7 kgs ( from 97kgs to 90kgs). Right now i'm still on the same weight and its hard to drop. I tried reducing my food intake and yes i did drop a bit (88.5kgs) but once i continued to eat normally, my weight increased back to 90kgs. Any advice ?

Just wondering whether 40/40/20 is the best option.

you mean..pork fat and burgers? XD

During cutting should I concentrate on lower calorie food or cut down on the carbohydrate (especially higher GI) ?

Lol, you should organize a gathering and tell everyone there what you told me today, seriously good info. Learnt a lot today

ugh. i'll try to make it. what time?

Another thing , not all fat and carbs are created equal , gotta eat the right carbs and fats

what if i combine my cardio with work out? the carbs should be high or low?

and is it better if i separate my cardio days with work out days?

Why didn't you keep it simple then? The dude asked about cutting and you made no mention of, fat loss is down to caloric restriction, which is as basic as you can get. I agree with your recommendations about higher carb, lower fat on workout days and opposite on rest days. It makes sense for optimum performance. However the assertions you made about insulin is not entirely correct or without proper context, which is what I disagreed with.

There are many people who reads the posts in this forum, and when information is presented badly, others will be thinking "shit! i'm doing it wrong, i have to fix this". Then they're going to change what could be a pattern that works very well for them based on that information.

As far as pics is concerned, the reason I don't post pics is to keep my anonymity. I don't see that pattern breaking anytime soon.

By request of DL.
Inb4, do you even lift?

Nothing wrong with manipulating macros. You would be doing that. Fat loss is down to caloric restriction and your macros should reflect that.
Not necessarily.
How did you take a very simple concept and went completely brotard on it.

*My take is, all food had insulin spike (IS)
-Duh! Insulin is elevated in response to meals in healthy individuals.

*what we want to control the amount of insulin spike.
-for what reason? are you diabetic? what makes you think that you can control it enough to have a significant impact? you will need pharmacological doses of insulin through some sort of infusion to have a significant effect on MPS.

*you dont want to take whey together with regular meal.
-why not? what is the composition of said regular meal. do you think your "regular meal" without the whey will have no impact on insulin?

*again when i the best time for a IS is right after workout because you want to also carry all the valuable nutrition for muscle buildings.
-insulin elevation stops muscle protein breakdown, it makes sense. It is something that is usually overblown. A protein sufficient meal itself will exert any anti-catabolic effects. You don't even need mad "insulin spiking" carbs.

*There problem here is, all this analogical method doesnt work for everyone everytime, meaning it defers from a beginner to seasoned lifter and to a lean person.
-what the hell is that gibberish supposed to mean? General methods work across the board, only the finer points differ.

*A very lean person like DL, do not need to care much because the energy burned w/i 24hrs way much greater compared to a beginner and high fat person (~>20%bf).
-Maybe because DL is beast carrying an insane amount of LBM, therefore making his energy needs high. What is your point exactly?

*generally I keep my intake intact with
protein: meat,, milk, egg, nuts
carb: rice, nuts
fat: from all the raw oils and nuts
-lol, that looks extremely boring and unpalatable. you trying to be hardcore?

*i think supplements are overrated for general population.
-depends on what supplements we are talking about. Is fish oil overrated? Is creatine overrated? Don't make blanket statements.
