High Fat Breakfast Associated W/ Lower 24h Food Intake, Watching "Biggest Loser" Boosts TV Snack Consumption

Written by | published on

This is not a photo of a study participant from the Bourne study, but it could be. If you've read yesterday's SuppVersity article with the telling title "Unable to Lose Weight? Behavioral Change, Motivation to Exercise Intensely and Self-Monitoring are the Three Pillars of Short- and Long-Term Weight Loss Success" ( read it ) you will be aware that behavioral change and the way you think about yourself can have make the difference between being "unable to lose weight" and staring in your personal "Biggest Loser" show... speaking of which, one of the two studies in today's installment of the Short News is actually about the real TV show with the same name or rather its effect on young women's snack consumption in front of the screen. The other study, and the one I would like to start with, is about high(er) fat breakfasts. Something the fable of the "super high insulin sensitivity in the AM" would imply must be bad for you. ...

YoYo flywheel device similar to the one used in the study from the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm. There is a lot to learn about exercise today! About the blood building effects of intermediate hypoxia, about the impressive effects on strength and power you can elicit, if you do your squats on a flywheel device such as the one to the right, and - let's not forget that - the indisputable evidence that you just have to cut back on your screen time to make room ... ah, I mean "time" to turn from a sedentary slob to an active individual. Apropos screen time! Let's  not prolong your screen time more than necessary with this lengthy introduction, but get straight to the point - I mean, the news, of course! The EPO-Effect of Oxygen Shortage : A study from the University of Western Australia shows athletes who train in a low-oxygen environment (simulated high altitude training) have significantly higher hepcidin (a protein that inhibits iron transport from the gut ...

Image 1: Scientifically proven muscle builder - 2.1kg lean mass in 3 months, no post-cycle therapy necessary! I was just about to write another one of my artistic introductions, trying to incorporate all the exciting On Short Notice news I've piled up for you into a brief narrative, when I realized that you probably don't really appreciate those introductions (I guess, I would skip them myself, so don't worry, this is more of an objective assessment than an accusation). So, I listened to my gut and decided to skip this part of this series, today, and rather spend the time to edit another item I did actually not want to post today. It's the one on the "IIFYM slightly gone wrong fast food bulk" in the Hambre study, to be precise; and I would venture the guess that you won't mind taking that instead of a longer introduction, once you've read and digested the impossible: You cannot only gain muscle with "fast food supplements", you won'...

Image 1: A tablespoon of olive oil is probably not enough to boost your testosterone levels, right? Probably not, at least not by 250%, I should say. Another Saturday, time is flying by and we have no time to waste, because YOU will have to dig trough a whole host of pretty long and (hopefully) interesting " On Short Notice " news, today! So let's get to business and start out with the surprising testosterone boosting corticosteroid normalizing effects of a bitter phenol in extra virgin olive oil most of you will probably be consuming on a daily basis without even knowing its name - Oleuropein . When we are through with the human equivalent dosage calculations the scientists obviously forgot to do, we will make a detour to one of those problems that are particularly dear to my heart, childhood obesity and how watching TV and eating fatty and sugary foods make a dynamic duo that can increase your (grand-)son's, (grand-)daughter's, nephew's and niece...

Image 1: True or false - Is three really better than two? Since the On Short Notice columns turns out to be a major success, I decided that I could put out studies in packages of shorter items, on a more regular basis - at least if I stumble across pairs such as those in today's Fat Loss Threesome and have time to compile them in to a comprehensive blogpost. But enough of the prelude, let's get right to our threesome: Television or Sleep, Black Pepper, Ginger, Horseradish or Mustard, PolyGlycopleX (PGX) or Psyllium - What do you think, which of these is will spice up, which will water down your weight loss efforts; and for the bros out there: Can you stack all of them or do they have to be cycled? TV Watching and Insufficient Sleep - A Dynamic Duo for (Childhood-)Diabesity Image 2: Watching TV eating junk is only part of the equation; what's missing here is the lack of sleep kids don't get, when they watch TV canned with coke and energy dr...
