Written by | published on

You are invited to join Scott Connelly, Vince Andrich, Layne Norton, Patrick Arnold and Carl Lenore for an in-depth look at the ever recurring question of whether eating every 2-3 hours is beneficial, let alone necessary for someone looking to improve his body composition, or whether the whole fuss about "avoiding a catabolic state" and "ramping up the metabolism" by frequent meals is nothing but a farse. BodyRx Show #019 – Meal Frequency: "Is it Better to Eat More or Less than 3-Squares a Day?" Image 1: Do you really need all that tupperware to store your 10+ meals in? Listen to episode #019 of the BodyRX show to have that question answered. Just in case you wonder whatever happened to me. Time zones and personal issues got into the way, but I feel the rest of the crew did pretty well without me ;-)

More on Putting Carbs to Good Use: Scott Connelly's BodyRX Show - Tune in Live at 12:00pm PDT

Written by | published on
Who listened to my interview on Super Human Radio, yesterday, may have heard my advice to tune in to today's BodyRX Show with Dr. Scott Connelly, Vince Andrich, Layne Norton, Patrick Arnold and (this is new) me, ProfDrAndro, being the brains behind a completely overhauled show concept, I promise you won't be disappointed. BodyRx Radio Show #017 Tune in Live @ 12pm PDT Here is a short glimpse onto what is waiting for you: On our last BodyRx Radio show (#016) we learned that by reducing carb intake from levels at the top of the food pyramid (>60% of energy) to a modest 35-40% of energy, you can effectively “teach” your body to preferentially store the carbs you eat into muscle cells and NOT your fat cells [cf. Effect of Macronutrient Composition ]. But, when does reducing carb intake negatively impact your performance in the gym, where the work to build muscle takes place?

DHEA: Overlooked or Overrated?

With DHEA (structure of DHEA-S, see image on the right; HMDB. V2.5 ) having been mentioned in a few of the last posts as a precursor to other androgens, I thought it might be interesting to have a brief look at the effect of DHEA supplementation on mood, body composition, sex life and human endocrine balance. Lately, a 1988 study by Nestler et.al. ( Nestler. 1988 ) has caught my attention. The researchers investigated the effect of 28 days of 1600mg/day (no, this is no typo) orally supplemented DHEA in 5 normal men (+5 men on placebo). The results were simply amazing. Apart from a 2.5x-3.5x increase in DHEA-levels, the researchers found: "In the DHEA group the mean percent body fat decreased by 31% , with no change in weight. This suggests that the reduction in fat mass was coupled with an increase in muscle mass ." ( Nestler. 1988 ) In addition mean serum low density lipoprotein cholesterol decreased by 7.5% (3.21 +/- 0.11 vs. 2.97 +/- 0.14 nmol/L; P less than 0.01...
