Wasting your time trader56. Longdip will never address your calculations directly. He will just dodge the issue and post more irrelevant information which FAILS to address anything you say. We all know its EASY to eat meat at every meal and keep FAT and CHOLESTEROL numbers EXTREMELY low. We have all proven this objectively with simple math. Everyone knows this. There is no need to continue trying to bash into the tiny brain of a severely retarded child like longshot I put him on ignore months ago, and there he will stay. He holds the high honor of being the only person on ET on my ignore list, for simply being so incredibly dense Now you have a much better understanding of longshotspenis story on my tagline peace axeman
Look at it in simple terms...here is a picture of Longshot and GG....now, at this point in their life, should cholesterol even be a concern??? the idea is to lose weight....when your this large and have failed at every diet, what do you have to lose? Come on Long shot...you tried jane fonda, richard simmons, jenny craig....give atkins a try
Actually.... a lot more than usual. But when other people get into arguments with longdip, they quote him and I can see the stupid ass shit he saying and it sucks me back in a bit peace axeman
Darn! oneway has posted something worth responding to! I like what you've quoted, but have a few quibbles with the great doctor: The doctor seems to be generally agreeing with what us lower-carb, higher-protein followers have been saying. But he's also left out some huge factors that affect the adoption of any diet, such as, - taste - hunger - energy - indigestion - convenience For example, if you're ready for a snack in the middle of the afternoon while trading, your highest concern is not whether what you eat will extend your life another 5 seconds. In fact, if you screw up your next trade, it may well take a larger toll in stress and other bad effects. A really simplistic way to think of the balance between fat, carbs, and protein can be summarized with an equation something like this: FAT for sustained energy + PROTEIN to suppress hunger - CARBS that spike your blood sugar The next question would be HOW MUCH more protein and fewer carbs are healthful. This can be answered with a rule that sets a target ratio of net carbs (carbs - fiber) to protein of 1.0 to 1.4. The issues after that get more complicated (as shown by this thread), such as which fats, which meats, which vegetables, etc., are best to use in such a diet. However, as I've stated before, the premium that the rule puts on fiber and protein leads you in the right direction most of the time (such as to whole grain pancakes ). And even when it doesn't result in eliminating a bad thing like potatoes from your diet, it does exactly what the doctor recommends above: it forces you to eat your potatoes (or crackers or chips) with some protein, thereby lowering the impact of the sugars (more importantly, the protein suppresses your hunger and leads you to eat fewer potatoes/calories). (Okay, if interesting stuff keeps getting posted that's worth responding to, just remember that I still only intend on visiting ET and this thread once a day, so don't expect any emotional cock fighting from me. )
Big surprise. The old guard is sticking to their low fat is bad, high carb is good mantra. And now were the fattest nation in the world, by even a larger margin Now here is an interesting article from someone who obviously has figured out how to get lean as hell: "So whatâs the deal? Is the low carb/high protein diet the best way for bodybuilders to get ripped or just another fad? From a bodybuilding standpoint, the answer is an unequivocal yes; reducing carbohydrates really works!" http://www.athleticnutrition.com/Article81.shtml Here is a real eye opener from Mr. SUPER RIPPED. Talks about his diet as he approached a competition. http://www.athleticnutrition.com/Article57.shtml When approaching a competition, where he needs to get RIPPED AS HELL, he changes his diet as the comp date gets closer: Phase one: ( off season diet + extra cardio ) 55% carbs = 1760 calories = 440 grams carbs 30% protein = 960 calories = 240 grams of protein 15% fat = 480 = 53 grams of fat Phase two: 40% carbs = 1200 calories = 300 grams carbs 40% protein = 1200 calories = 300 grams of protein 20% fat = 600 calories = 66 grams of fat Phase 3: 25% carbs = 675 calories = 169 grams carbs 50-55% protein = 1350 - 1485 calories = 337 -371 grams of protein 20- 25% fat = 540 - 675 calories = 60 - 75 grams of fat Notice that protein and fat go UP, and carbs go DOWN. Look at the last phase numbers. This is where you should be if you really wanna drop fat like crazy. Of course... gotta excercise, lift, and do lots of cardio too. You will get lean as hell. peace axeman
So who you gonna believe? The diet gurus, or this guy who has used his body as a diet labratory and studied competitive body building diets over the last 14 years to figure out what really works to win body building competitions? At 3.7% body fat, I think he has the diet gurus all beat. I think Dr. Ornish, Dr. Atkins, Dr. Sears, and the rest of the guys should all list their % body fat and compare peace axeman
Great article. This reminds me of my doctor's first evaluation of my blood chemistry results a few years ago: he completely missed the somewhat low LDL, high tryglyceride, and high glucose levels (together an indication of diabetes risk), and instead noted that my LDL was borderline high, but not high enough to meet the HMO's cutoff for use of cholestrol-lowering statin drugs! LOL. Just another brainwashed low-fatter. (As with so many things about HMOs, you often have to figure it out for yourself and then insist that they do the proper tests, and update their own education.) Another dumb thing such doctors do/did, was to try to get their overweight patients to do things like "just eat an apple instead of a candy bar" for a snack. From the previous posts, you can see that this is completely nuts. The apple isn't going to satisfy either your hunger or your energy needs...which means you're going to want to eat more....but all you can eat are low-fat, carb-rich items...which aren't going to satisfy your hunger or energy needs...which means you're going to want to eat more... (What you want in fact is a "candy bar" that is balanced with respect to fat, protein, and carbs (i.e., a balanced nutrition bar), or simply some cheese with your apple.) It would be interesting to look at the blood chemistry of the high-carbers in the article, since another advantage of lower-carb, higher-protein diets is that, for the same weight loss, they leave you with relatively more muscle compared to fat (as axe's posts also indicate), which is tied to the drop you see in triglycerides and glucose levels. Then, when we've shown that, for the same weight loss, they are not really as healthy as the low-carbers, we could then ask them how the food tasted, how they felt after eating it, etc. That's the nail in the low-fat coffin.
