diet

Recent diet-related threads had me wondering about cyclical diets that are not annoying. At least one exists! The MATADOR diet was basically maintenance calories for two weeks, then cutting 30% for two weeks and repeating. The MATADOR study showed people did not have their metabolisms slow...

Good afternoon. I know Pavel and company aren't nutritionists, and this is the place to talk strength and not diets. A quit search of the forums with the keyword "nutrition" strengthens this. I also know nutritional requirements and tolerance are very unique and personal. However, I am...

It seems like most people in the general population overestimate the importance of exercise in weight loss, but many may also be overestimating the role of diet in weight loss as well. NEAT or non-exercise activity thermogenesis plays a greater role than commonly understood. I am trying to add...

Howdy y’all! So I’ve had a rough few weeks and one of the casualties was the diet. As it always is. I’ve developed an oddity (eating disorder? Oreo addiction?) where when I’m indulging, I get this strange paranoia. I get this impulse to keep eating, almost like the food is going to disappear...

Hello I’m 16, I’ve been seriously working out for a year. (Mix of calisthenics and weightlifting). Not going to lie I didn’t eat well at all. Since my metabolism is already decent I felt like it wouldn’t matter. But I’ve been trying to change up things after I got sick back in October-November...

Here is my situation currently with regards to training and diet: I am 34yo and weigh 196lb at an estimated 18% body fat (tape/Naval method with the same tape at the same reference points). I want to drop fat slowly to retain muscle that I’ve worked very hard to build over the last 6 months off...

Hi Guys, just a few weeks ago I started to really commit to wanting to learn everything I needed to learn to start and ultimately master Calisthenics. The first book I´ve read was Convict Conditioning and I overall really like the philosophy of it. But I didn´t feel like that it really gave me...

Hi all, Just curious if anyone has done the Velocity diet, and if so, what was your experience and thoughts on it? How has it benefited you after completing the 28 days? Have been lifting weights and training for a little over a decade, and over the last year have really fallen in love with...

Hope you folks can give me some ideas. If this is an area you know something about, I would appreciate you taking the time to read this. I am looking to cut about 10lb of muscle, appreciate that at my age or any age that seems a bit daft. But I have running goals that I cannot achieve at my...

As there is a separate category under "Diet and Nutrition" for food logs I would like to offer to all who are interested to begin keeping one. I began one a few weeks back as I tried to ease into clean eating. Now that I have started my regimented diet I'm going to try and keep it current. I...

Hi everyone, I just stumbled on Fabio Zonin's article a few weeks ago on the Hit The Target (HTT) Fat-loss Plan. My wife and I thought to give it a try and I would like to keep track of some progress here, but mainly share some experiences and doubts we had and have along the way. At this...

Alright, folks... I've scoured the internet and besides Ori Hofmelker's books, the SF forum seems to be the next best resources for WD-related questions. Most importantly, I'm hoping to get some specific advice since most of us are strength athletes. My primary focus is Powerlifting and I have...

11AM: shake with protein powder (Just Protein), milk, peanut butter, 1 packet of microwave oatmeal, crushed ice + coffee with lots of half and half later, 1 peach 2PM: Prison Pad Thai, ramen noodles with peanut butter and sriracha, actually one of my favorite lunches 1 peach 6PM: couple...

Any one here prepares well planned meal for the next week? I would like to know tips, ideas and your thoughts. I am thinking of looking into this approach. This way one can target to hit the calories one is planning for either cutting or bulking. In my case I am trying to lose body fat.

If one choose to do hypertrophy program, is it foolishness to follow a caloric deficit diet? What's likely to happen? Thoughts?

on the verge to get my goal weight i m try to keep my diet cleanly. And trying to cut down the calories to make the body to burn fat. So one of my friend suggest to use 310 Shake instead taking regular food. The reason is for it is, Its easy to calculate the calorie intake only. Because im...
