Has anyone heard about this diet? If you have, what do you think about it? Basically, it has some questionnaires or test that you can do to determine whether you're suited to low carb, high carb or medium carb diet. (suited = high energy level, good health, etc.) Thanks.

Hey people, I need a lil help here. I'm 150 lbs, around 10 - 12% bf. I've been low carbing for 3 weeks (only 30 g of carb for a day), and high carbing for the weekend. I was trying out Dr. Mauro's Metabolic Diet. Well... I feel I couldn't live with this diet forever, it's a pain in the butt...

I'll try to summarize all the points above. Let me know if I got it right or wrong. In hypocaloric diet, eating more meals only help people to feel less hungrier and don't have any effect on LBM/adipose ratio in weight loss. In hypercaloric diet, eating more meals are just a way to help you...

Brian, when one is overfeeding, testosterone will be just fine? I thought testosterone level is directly collerated to the fat percentage of the diet? My concern is this: On one hand, too little fat causes low testosterone. On the other hand, too much fat causes fat gain. Since testosterone is...

Okay, now I understand that carb and pro is the best thing to overfeed. At the same time, I want to maximize my testosterone levels. From the article posted in www.thinkmuscle.com, the one written by Tom Incledon, I believe he said something like having fat around 30% of calories give the...

Aaron, In other words, meal frequency DOESN'T matter? Other comments, guys?

Hi Aaron, I prefer eating 3 large meals than 6 meals. I always thought that supplying the body with constant flow of amino acid every 3 hours are the ONLY way to go. If I can get the same results with 3 meals, I would go for it because I hate stopping what I'm doing every 3 hours just to eat...

I got this from Lyle's forum. Comments? I always thought that I HAVE TO eat 6 meals to grow. Please state the comments in the context of hypocaloric and hypercaloric situations.

Thanks for answering my question. Can you define what hormonal problems are? Thanks. Btw, this is by far the best forum I've ever been in. Everyone is so helpful and knows what they're talking about... :)

I know I'm being really anal, but I'm just really curious where current research stands. When one is overfeeding, assuming moderate carb diet, should fat percentage be around 20 - 25% or 30%? 20 - 25% is the figure I got from Bryan Haycock. He points out a research that shows when one is...

This is also taken from the "John Berardi" topic. When one is overfeeding, how can we determine the best macronutrients for each person? This is what I got from reading the materials around the forum: 1. If one is a skinny guy who got speedy metabolism, try to keep protein around 15%...

Can anyone provide me with an exact number of carb and pro I should consume?

What if we throw away the assumption that the subject is getting adequate protein intake and essential fat intake? Will the statement "caloric intake is all that matters" still shold?

I'll start my HST cycle next Monday. I have to train early in the morning, since I have class at 9 am. I'll workout about half an hour to an hour after I wake up. 1. Should I add more carbs in my preworkout meal since I've been fasting overnight? 2. This might sound stupid, but when should I...

I post this question in the "John Berardi" topic, but I'm curious to find out more. Assuming one is underfeeding, and get enough protein and essential fat, will the source of carb (high GI vs low GI) influence the rate of fatloss?
