Women in Their 30s who 'Hit the Weights' While Dieting Get Toned = 2lbs of Fat Loss for Each 1lbs of Muscle They Gain

Written by | published on
Image
Shape's "fat loss" variety of the FITT workout still focuses on cardio. This article is about a paper by Miller et al. (2017) that is going to be published in one of the next issues of the International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism . The study itself is thus clearly 'news'. What's not news, however, is the message that women benefit (just as much if not more) from lifting weights while dieting as men. Unfortunately, the message is rarely heard and often ignored. Obviously, the lure of the calorie counters on the treadmills and crosstrainers of this world is too strong for the average diet-willing female human being to resist trampling along on the crosstrainer to burn 500kcal and thus afford/make good for "that pizza" (" Never Train to Burn Calories "). When it comes to toning, men and women are not different, but in other areas they are! 1g PRO per 2g CHO + Circuit T. for Women? Is the Optimal Exercis...

Protein - 0.8g/kg Insufficient for Female Athletes, Too. Plus: Revised RDA is 1.71-2.2 g/kg/d Depending on Sport & Sex

Written by | published on

With average daily protein intakes of only 90±24 g (Gillen 2017), many female athletes are probably missing the sweet spot of ~1.7g/kg/d. I guess I am preaching to the choir when I write that the recommended daily allowance (the magical "RDA") for protein is laughable; the number of studies which show that an increased protein intake will have beneficial metabolic effects is increasing by the day; the subjects of these studies are men and women, kids, teens, tweens, adults, and grandparents, perfectly healthy or sick, lean or fat... and in all of these increasing the protein intake to ~2x the RDA of 0.8g/kg has been found to be associated with significant beneficial effects on body composition and/or health in the majority of the studies ( learn more ). High-protein diets are much safer than some 'experts' say, but there are things to consider...

'Bizzy Diet' Sheds 2% Body Fat (2kg) in Only 3 Weeks, Study in 51 Women (BF 25%) Shows - W/ and W/Out 'FitMiss Burn'

The "Bizzy Diet" works, the supplements that are suggested in the program at BB.com  are useless, though. You know that I am a fan of supplement companies that try to support the often hilarious claims on their product labels with science. Against that background, I feel there's nothing wrong with MusclePharm sponsoring, ah... I mean "funding" a recent study by researchers from the University of... ah, I mean, from Bodybuilding.com and the Ohio State University (Kendall 2017) - and that's not just in those (not exactly rare cases) when said research proves that their "thermogenic" powerhouse is actually a hilariously underdosed barrel burst.

Macros & Calories Don't Count? Better Food Choices Make Diet More Than 10x More Effective for PCOS Sufferers

Written by | published on

Normal-weight women can have PCOS, too. Recently, Macruz et al. did DXA scans on young women with PCOS and a normal BMI and found increased truncal and leg fat compared to healthy controls in a similar age (12–39 years) and BMI range (at least 18.5 but below 25 | Macruz. 2017). More evidence that weight alone doesn't explain PCOS. PCOS is by no means an issue only obese women suffer from. Yes, obesity is  and will always be  the #1 risk factor for developing the polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS = a condition in which a woman's levels of the sex hormones estrogen and progesterone are out of balance; this leads to the growth of ovarian cysts (benign masses on the ovaries); PCOS can cause problems with a women's menstrual cycle, fertility, cardiac function, and appearance), but eventually it seems as if both occurred in response to the same hitherto not fully elucidated triggers. In that, it is unquestionable that a woman's diet plays a minor part in the dev...

26% Body Fat, Zero Lean Mass Loss W/ HIIT + 3x500mg Green Tea Supp in 10Wks | Is EGCG Liver-Toxic?

Written by | published on

Lean, not skinny: In the long run HIIT + GTE could take you there, but there's one caveat... at least w/ the green tea. The social networks are full of women complaining that they are not losing fat. If you ask them what they have tried to ignite body fat loss, the answer usually is: reduced energy, fat/carb intakes and, if any sport at all, endless cardio sessions... now, while studies show that this approach to fat loss works, it's (a) mostly the caloric deficit that determines the loss of body weight and (b) is often accompanied by significant lean mass losses. An attractive alternative would be (i) not having to diet, (ii) not having to do endless cardio sessions and (iii) having a fat loss supplement that actually works.
