Protein-Timing & Fasting: Fasted Sprints & the Remarkable Muscle↑, Fat↓ Effect of Timing Whey With vs. Between Meals

Written by | published on

Not sure what would happen to your sprints if you have whey before HITing it... While more and more scientists and "evidence-based" trainers and fitness gurus, alike, keep repeating that "protein timing" - as heavily and feverishly as it is often debated on Facebook and elsewhere on the interwebs - is significantly less important than some gymrats still tend to believe ( Schoenfeld 2013 ). The question "When do I take my whey shake?" is still a topic worth discussing. In particular, if an interesting new study - a systematic review, to be precise - seems to suggest that protein timing does, at least in protein supplementation studies, matter... and what's most exciting, it seems to matter for the one outcome of physical exercise and dietary discipline many gymrats consider the #1 on their priority list: improvements in  body composition ... or, as many call it, "getting ripped and jacked" ;-) Learn more about building muscle and stre...

Nutrient Timing Less, Cyclic Dieting & Baseline Microbiome More Important for Fat Loss - Nutrition Science News 02/18

They may have been published in "Obesity" and observed in people w/ weight problems, but the results of these three recent papers are still relevant for lean, metabolically healthy people, too. Even if you are already way beyond the stage, where "weight loss" is your main interest, I am pretty sure you will appreciate this selection of recent studies from obesity research all around the world. After all, some of the research may actually help you achieve your new goal which should be to lose body fat while keeping or even building lean mass. In today's research review I am going to discuss three papers that have recently been published in the International Journal of Obesity (after being available online since late 2017, btw). To generalize one could say that the papers deal with the effects of nutrient timing and your microbiome on the efficacy of your fat loss efforts. Review older articles about the gut - health  axis.at the SuppVersity Bugs Dicta...

Nutrient/Meal Timing: A Dozen Examples of Its Purported Impact on 'Ur Health, Weight Management & Body Comp.

Written by | published on

Everyone will know somebody who managed to build an impressive physique with meal-timing. The question you cannot answer, however, is whether that's due to the timing or rather his/her mindful eating habits, healthy food choices and overall controlled energy intake. Originally, people thought about dieting quite mechanistically. With health and fitness becoming more important than religion to many people, this has changed significantly and we've seen various trends ranging from the low-fat fad in the 1980s to the anti-fructose movement of the early 2000s and the ketogenic revival 10 years later. Eventually, the transient nature of all these trends did yet confirm one thing: the macronutrient of your diets may influence if and how much fat/muscle weight you lose or gain, but it's only one out of several parameters that determine the way(s) in which your diet will affect your health and body composition. Another factor that has been recognized to do just that is nutrien...

Meal Timing Crucial for Fat Loss? Is WHEN You Eat More Important for Losing Weight Than HOW MUCH You Eat?

Written by | published on

In rodents, incorrect meal timing can partly override the benefits of energy restriction. "You need a caloric deficit to lose weight..." The latest study from the  University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center   does not  refute this principle. It does, however, add to it an "... and you must not eat at the wrong times!" Confused? Alright, here's the elevator's pitch for the latest paper in Cell Metabolism : Scientists fed rodents calorie-reduced diets. Rodents lost weight, but only if they were fed at night (when they would usually be active), a pair-fed group that ate during the day (when mice are usually inactive), on the other hand, didn't lose a gram.
