For those of you who subscribe to my site, the new issue is up. I am really stoked about the info this month (and last months kickoff). This month looks like this:
1) Article on fat cell size and number, and how to influence via carb and fat intake...awesome article wrote by our own "BigGuns78" or Coach T as we call him, and also by Dr Eric Serrano whom you all know.
2) UNBELIEVABLE article on fat soluble vitamins and their impacts by a guy who I consider a genius (he is like Matt Damon in Good Will Hunting). Full of useful info..
3) Workout of month
4) Recipes by our own "BigChef" - this guy rocks!
5) Detailed Q&A
6) Behind the scenes story about I flubbed up diet and learned from it..
Here is a sample of the Fat-Soluble vitamin interview:
JOHN - Having done some writing on bodybuilding, what would you say are the biggest or most common mistakes people make in their dietary regimen?
CHRIS - I think the biggest problem is focusing on macronutrients at the expense of micronutrients. There's also a tendency toward fat-phobia, which can easily be found among people who aren't into bodybuilding too.
Bodybuilders will often eat huge quantities of protein without any regard for the vitamins and minerals that help turn that protein into muscle mass. Animal studies, for example, show that eating lots of protein causes a massive increase in the turnover of vitamin A. This suggests that either we need protein to use vitamin A or we need vitamin A to use protein. One way or the other, if we load up on protein without getting plenty of vitamin A to go with it, over time we will run low on vitamin A. This can compromise testosterone production and metabolism, which can make it harder to build muscle.
JOHN - Testosterone production and metabolism, I think my athletes might want to hear more on this. Can you talk more about the best sources of vitamin A and what we can do to enhance Vitamin A absorption since it is fat soluble?
and here is a snippet of Coach T and Dr Serrano's article:
Saturated fat:
Stearic acid has a molecular structure pictured below. As you can see it is a very straight and rigid structure. These fats are solid at room temperature and are predominantly found in foods like (animal fats, butter, and coconut oil). They are solid at room temperature and are very stable. You can heat them, cook with them, expose them to air, and they don’t break down and are safe to eat. The rigid structure is important because they pack together nicely. This means they fit nicely packed when they are stored in a fat cell, so they don’t require your fat cell to swell and grow larger.
