Interaction of Fat Cell Size, Protein Intake & Co. W/ Fat Gain + Insulin Res. in Overfed Men + Women in Metabolic Ward

Written by | published on

That's rather the low protein variety of overfeeding... but wait, was the high protein diet even "high" in protein? Well high enough to affect liver fat, for sure. You will probably remember José Antonio's high protein overfeeding study series ( learn more ) from the articles here and on the SuppVersity  Facebook page . The results were quite impressive, but the number of controlled covariates were small and the dietary control was limited to food logs. In a more recent study, George A. Bray and colleagues from the Pennington Biomedical Research Center of the Louisiana State University System , the  George Mason University , and the FL Hospital & Sanford-Burnham Prebys Discovery Research Institute  (Bray. 2016) determined the effect of overfeeding diets with 5%, 15% or 25% energy from protein on glycemia + body fat distribution in healthy men and women with add. covariates and  in a metabolic ward. Yes, the high protein intake clogged the liver during o...

52% Reduced Fat Gain Over 4 Weeks of Overfeeding Twenty Young Men W/ 1000 kCal/Day on a High Fat (55%) Diet Due to Double Dose of a Commercial Multistrain Probiotic

Probiotics act on in the digestive tract, but their effects are still systemic. You've read about the anti-weight gain effects of probiotic supplements in rodents  before at the SuppVersity and in the SuppVersity Facebook News. Nice, yes, but will this also work in human beings? If we put faith into the predictive quality of a recent from Virginia Tech , it should. Before we delve deeper into the study design, results and evaluation in the bottom line, I'd yet like you to know that (a) we don't know if the effects will persist for more than 4-weeks, if they will become stronger or weaker and that (b) the study was funded by  VSL Pharmaceuticals  (Osterberg. 2015) - both additional reasons not to confuse a single study like this with "proof" that probiotics block fat gain.

How Much Fat Will You Gain in the Next 6 Months? Your Response to Overfeeding, Low Protein Intakes & Fasting May Tell You If, Yet not How Much Weight You'll Gain

Written by | published on

If you oxidize the CHOs from this meal, instead of storing it as glycogen, that's bad news for ability to maintain your body weight over the next 6-months & beyond  You will know (and maybe hate) them, people who are eating whatever they want, whenever they want while still being not exactly shredded, but at least very lean. What do all these people who have an extremely easy time keeping their weight stable in common? A recent study from the Phoenix Epidemiology and Clinical Research Branch at the  National Institute of Diabetes and  Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) at the "glorious" National Institutes of Health (NIH) suggests that it may relate to the way they respond to fasting and overfeeding on high carb, low protein and eucaloric diets. I have no idea why the scientists did not modify the protein intake during overfeeding Are You Protein Wheysting? 5x More Than the FDA Allows! More Protein ≠ More Satiety Protein: Food or Supplement? ...

Nutrient Overfeeding in the Metabolic Chamber: Protein, not Fat Triggers Compensatory Increase in Energy Expenditure

Written by | published on

In case you are asking yourselves why the subjects didn't live in the metabolic chamber for the whole study period, take a look at the photo of the metabolic chamber of HealthQ as an example for the "ample" space in a research instrument like this.  Scientist from the  Pennington Biomedical Research Center  have recently conducted a sstudy to quantify the effects of excess energy from fat or protein on energy expenditure of men and women living in a metabolic chamber. A metabolic chamber is a small room a person can live in for a 24 hour period. It is used to measure the metabolic rate of said individual during meals, sleep, and light activities. To do so, scientists measure the heat released from a person's body to determine the energy expenditure of the individual continuously. Compared to "regular" VO2 based short-term measurements studies like the one at hand will therefore provide significantly more reliable information about the effects of certai...

The Overfeeding Overview: High Fat, Carb, Protein, MCTs, Leptin, Testosterone, T3 & Reverse T3 - Get an Overview of the Consequences of Short- & Long-Term Overfeeding

High fat + high carbohydrate foods like mini doughnuts are exactly what you should not eat on a refeed day, let alone during weeks of bulking. Do you want to know what happens during days and weeks of gluttony? How the effects "bulking" will have on your body weight and composition, depending on where those extra calories come from? Have you wondered what the optimal nutrient composition on refeed days may look like? And are you concerned about the potential the health consequences of bulking? Yes? In this case, I would suggest you take a closer look at the following overview of the research. An overview that is probably not complete, but it should suffice to provide preliminary answers to the aforementioned questions.
