Carbs Before Workout Won't Lock Your Ab Fat in its Stores | Plus: Wired for Laziness, Standing for Your Health and 'Cardio' Reversibly Promotes Microbial Diversity in Guts

Written by | published on

Spiking insulin w/ high GI carbs before a workout doesn't blunt the release of fat from the stores covering your abs. Whenever I hit on journals like the latest issue of Medicine in Sports Science , a publication by the American College of Sports Medicine . I contemplate using them as a resource for an installment of the short news - albeit only if more than one of the studies in said journals are actually worth talking about. For the November issue of Medicine in Sports Science , this was the case for four studies. First and foremost, probably Baur's experimental counterevidence to the hypothesis that the carbohydrate-induced surge in insulin would 'seal' your subcutaneous body fat stores. It may not be necessary to attack your ab-fat, but fasting does have a handful of benefits: Monthly 5-Day Fast Works "Lean Gains" Fast Works Habits Determine Effects of Fasting Protein Modified Fast 4 Health IF + Resistance Training = WIN ADF Bea...

SuppVersity Cellulite Special: The Etiology of Cellulite, Genetical and Behavioural Risk Factors? Physical and Supplemental Treatment Strategies & Their Efficacy

Written by | published on

This photo of a 37-year old woman some of you may already have seen Facebook testifies to the success of 12 weeks on 333U/cc retinol cream + high intensity laser pulses (Fink. 2006) I guess, or should I say, I'd hope (?) that some of you have already been waiting eagerly for the write-up of yesterday's Special Installment of the SuppVersity Science Round-Up on the Super Human Network and all the details and obviously the supps, Carl and I could not squeeze into this 1h+ show. Before you go over this huge (and this is also why it took me so long to post this) serving of the "Seconds", I do yet highly recommend that you download and listen to the podcast, first . You can grap the MP3, right here .  It's free and if you don't like the ads, just skip forward, but please come to terms with the fact that a daily 2h radio has to be financed one way or another! Let's dig right into this lumpy-bumby skin condition, now! Despite the fact that they did...

Six Cups Of Coffee (900mg/day): Three Too Much or Just About Right to Speed Up Lipolysis & Fatty Acid Oxidation?

Written by | published on
Image
The human equivalent of almost 900mg caffeine per day used in the study at hand did some good, but it also did some harm - read more and decide for yourselves which one you'd consider more important. It amazes me time and again. Coffee and caffeine in particular are unquestionably the best-researched "supplements", nutraceuticals, drugs, or whatever you want to call. Yet, nevertheless, the number of interesting studies is increasing day by day. Let's see... 2.3+ studies related to caffeine in one way or another were published per day in 2012 and as of now it looks, as if we would easily top that this year. But enough of those stats. Let's get to one of the latest of the 515 hits for this year and take a look at what Eun-Young Choi and Yun-Ok Cho from the Department of Food and Nutrition at the  Duksung Women's University in Seoul has to bring to the table. What? Another rodent study? Yeah, I hear you. I would also prefer if the Korean scientists had...

Science Round-Up Seconds: All About Cortisol, Fat Loss, Body Composition and the Efficacy & Safety of 7-Keto & Co

Written by | published on

Believe it or not. High dose hydrocortisone can decrease body fat levels (Babikian. 1962; see further down) and the acute administration of prednisolone has repeatedly been shown to have pronounced endurance performance (e.g. +61%; Arlettaz. 2007). It's not like the Science Round Up was a request show, but I still want to start the Seconds to yesterday's installment of the show ( download the podcast ) with an honest an sincere apology to one of our listeners. Yeah, there is no debating, Carl and I had promised to talk about the "cortisol blockers can cause necrosis of the liver" study (Zou. 2013) and then simply forgot about it. I guess this was due to the unplanned "copper + HFCS = arrhythmia" excursion at the beginning of the show, but I don't want to give the impression I was looking for excuses here. Instead, I decided to make up for our negligence by taking the opportunity to go beyond simply answering the question whether the recently pub...

19x Increase in Growth Hormone 60min After Ingestion of 1g of Glycerophosphocholine (GPC) in Young Male Subjects

Written by | published on

Image 1: Don't worry one thing is sure - GPC won't give you a gut like that ;-) A couple of days ago, I have written about the exorbitant choline consumption of some of bodybuilding legends, Randy Roach writes about in his Muscle Smoke & Mirrors Vol. II   and to be honest, I was quite surprised that among the many responses I got, none broached the issue of the latest and greatest supplemental choline spin-off: Glycerophosphocholine, or short GPC - a supposedly superior, because fat-bound (hence "glycero" as in "glycerol) and highly bioavailable bean-derived form of choline. Whatever the reasons may be, I suppose you still won't mind to hear that a recent experiment that was conducted at the Faculty of Sport and Health Science of Ritsumeikan University in Shiga, Japan, yielded quite interesting results with respect to the endocrine and metabolic short-term effects of 1,000mg of GPC in 8 healthy male (25+/1y) subjects (Kawamura. 2012). 19x more gr...
