In regards to those genetically predisposed to obesity http://www.plosmedicine.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pmed.1000332 Our study shows that living a physically active lifestyle is associated with a 40% reduction in the genetic predisposition to common obesity, as estimated by the number of risk alleles carried for any of the 12 recently GWAS-identified loci. Exercise alone cuts the genetic risk in almost half. http://journals.cambridge.org/action/displayAbstract?fromPage=online&a…

It seems very naive and simplistic to assume that everyone regulates or respond to food the same way. I never said that, you inferred it. I'm not new to fitness and have helped many friends and family members, both men and women, go from fat to fit. I've helped some lose over 100lbs with just a change in their diet, literally no exercise. I'm not saying everyone is exactly the same and needs the exact same prescription for diet/exercise. Someone whose obese is likely excessively insulin resistan…

I'm not new to the fitness community by any means. The people who fall in to either the endo/ecto-morph category are doing something wrong and need to adjust. They'll claim to eat x or y but they're usually full of shit. I was an athlete up to college but still incredibly over weight and also lacked any real muscle mass. My diet sucked so I looked like shit despite working out constantly. Some people would call that an endo or 'classically overweight' I guess but in reality I just needed to fix …

They're not the same thing and hardly comparable. As someone who used to be borderline obese, man boobs and all, it was incredibly easy to lose weight. I don't smoke so I can't speak personally but a good friend does. He's tried quitting a lot and keeps failing. He also used to be over 300lbs and managed to not only lose it all but build a fairly impressive physique.

am in very decent shape. I've been working out since I was my brother's age at varying levels of intensity but the last couple of years I've been fitter than ever. P90X does have pretty intense weight training elements by the way, and it gives you that lean, ripped look rather than the bodybuilder look. Unless you're juicing lifting weights will not turn you into a mass monster like the IFBB pros.

It's incredibly easy to lose weight. Dropping below 10% BF with an appreciable amount of muscle requires time, effort, will and knowledge. Dropping from 30+%BF to 15%BF requires a simple diet change and very little work outside of that. If you want to look like a fitness model then yeah its going to be tough. If you want to not be clinically obese then it's pretty easy.

Whenever I discuss fitness with my family they're constantly trying to find excuses as to why they can't exercise. Most people are like this and you should just shut them out. You won't change their mindset unless they want to change their mindset and most people don't. If they do, they'll come to you and accept the criticism. I do P90X/Insanity level fitness regimes, I'm not expecting middle-aged people to match that but all it takes is a 20-30 minutes of exercise 4 or 5 days a week and apparen…

Type 2 diabetes is generally self inflicted. There may be some underlying genetic predisposition to insulin resistance but it can be easily avoided and overcome with lifestyle changes and is by no means a permanent condition. I think the biggest problem is that people think it's really hard to improve themselves. People always look at me really surprised when I say losing weight is easy. Simply tweaking your diet will have profound impacts on not just the way you look but how you feel as well. A…

I'm not really sure how to extrapolate on the data myself. If you go from personal interaction it's no surprise the data came out like this. Once I got into fitness and started looking really good everyone started coming to me for advice, men and women.

The trend held for over reporting as well Across the study period, approximately 4.9% of men and 2.9% of women reported rEI/BMR values suggestive of over-reporting (i.e., rEI/BMR >2.4) with no significant trends. The greatest increase in the percentage of over-reporters between survey periods occurred from NHANES II to NHANES III, with men increasing from 4.1% to 6.4%, and women from 1.7% to 3.4% (both p<0.001).

Yes, TRT can suppress natural production but they're ways to come off without problems and things you can do to prevent testicular atrophy. That being said there won't be a point in coming off till you fix whatever the problem is. If you're overweight you're suppressing your own levels due to an increased activity of aromatase taking test and turning it into estrogen. You should start working out, it's good for so many things and there really isn't any reason to not do it. Check your diet as wel…

Pretty much this except for the last part. No more than 3 resistance workouts per week. This depends entirely on the person. I've been lifting for a few years and can handle 5-6 sessions a week no problem on top of a job where I'm physically active. Even my little sister lifts with me 5 days a week and is handling it just fine. If you can't handle 5 resistance sessions a week you're spending way too much time in the gym or eating poorly.

That's a lot of psychological and physical stress so it's not surprising you feel fatigued and have a poor appetite. In those with chronic fatigue syndrome and depression it is common to find magnesium/zinc deficiencies. To top it off 4-6 hours of sleep a night will directly cause insulin resistance and if not remedied can snowball into full blown T2DM. Even acute sleep loss causes slight increases in insulin resistance. Doing it for weeks or months plus all that stress will seriously fuck you u…

For the average healthy human fasted training keeps blood glucose levels more stable than fed training. You're basically one of the statistical outliers and it may have to do with some pathological insulin resistance or any other number of factors. They're indeed some people who do better training fed but the vast majority will do better fasted. In your case I'd aim for a meal with about 30g quality protein(high in EAAs because they stimulate skeletal muscle glucose uptake), 50-100g of carbs wit…

No offense man but this stack is based on complete broscience and some of it is even going to make progress harder. Like that True Mass shake at 6 am for a few reasons. a. Testosterone spikes in the morning and flooding your system with glucose is going to suppress T levels b. Fasting for length periods is beneficial through its regulation of autophagy.

They pin the issue to a general decline in fitness but people don't seem to make the jump to endocrine dysfunction.

In the full text of the first study linked it shows that at doses of 200-400mg caffeine blunts the spike in cortisol during training.

"It’s a culture in which women can still lose their jobs because they get pregnant." Why is this so hard to comprehend for some women? You literally tell your employer that in a few months you're going to need like 10 weeks off and you expect them to not replace you? It's an unnecessary financial burden that can be avoided, it would be stupid for employers to not find replacements.

Most of the population are depressed mindless drones letting everyone else run their lives. Do not you use them as a model of good will for your moral imperative.

Keto is pointless for anyone without epilepsy, especially athletes who need plenty of both glucose and protein. A true keto diet also massively restricts protein and if you're not doing that then you're not doing keto. Your body will convert aminos to glucose via gluconeogenesis because it wants the sugar. If you're an endurance athlete you may better adapt to low carb diets because you have primarily oxidative Type 1 muscle fibers anyways. It also doesn't cause the same increase in growth facto…

Old habits die hard but with time you can become any kind of person you want to be. Every time you act a certain way you reinforce the habit of acting that way. The Aristotle quote rings true that "we are what we repeatedly do."

It truly depends on the person and how well you know them. The friends who mention their problems with their lady to you are more likely to listen. If they're complaining about some aspect they're trying to get at you for advice. If you simply bring up the topic you come off a bit like an asshole. It would be like if mid conversation I suggested you start going to the gym more often. Whether I said it with good intentions or not it still comes as a bit of a surprise and can feel somewhat shitty …

For anyone curious interview went extremely well. Interviewer was young and attractive so any anxiety disappeared pretty quickly. Her body language was pretty flirty as well. I meet with a higher up though in a week but he seemed like a cool guy so I'm pretty confident now.

Pretty sure I've seen a TED talk on body language, prescence and interviews. The people who held a high power stance before being interviewed were significantly more likely to get hired than people who had held a lower power stance as they felt intrinsically less confident. Think they used the phrase 'high power individuals brought themselves to the interview' and something along the lines of just being confident in your own self.

I agree its good knowing that and I'd obviously rather have it that way. Just something to keep in mind in certain settings

I definitely feel you on most of this and it wasn't too late of a comment. The company works with turbomachinery mostly(renewable energy:wind/water turbines) and they're just looking for a sales engineer from what I gather. I took a Turbomachinery course as a tech elective so I at least have some background in this topic and can ask relevant specific questions of the company if I feel they're appropriate for the HR rep.

Yeah that was a concern of mine and I'm supposed to be meeting someone with a womans name. Most women tell me they thought I was an asshole before even meeting me.

Thanks for the reference I'll definitely book mark it. I have a folder with just a few book marks but in general I don't follow any of the blogs although stop in here almost daily.

That actually sounds really good and I'm totally going to use that. Ending the conversation on an interesting note is a good way to be remembered. I'm also continually reminding myself that I'm only 21 and there is no reason for me to feel defeated if I bomb my first interview or don't get the job. There will be plenty of opportunities in life. Its the same mentality for dealing with women that I learned here.

The what are you greatest weaknesses question sucks hard, I have no idea what the best way to answer that is. It obviously depends on what they're looking for but regardless its a thin line between sounding very confident and being arrogant. I'm not even sure what I'd say

The conversation mentality makes a lot of sense as I imagine there is pressure on the other individual as well to find a good employee. Getting rid of any awkwardness can help them relax as well and enjoy our interview more. I'm usually fairly good at getting people to open up around me so I'll keep that in mind. I tend to do it by trying to get them to talk about themselves and then relating to anything I can but sometimes there is absolutely nothing to relate to. Thanks for the support as well…

Thanks guys this is pretty much what I expected. Would not have thought of using 'we' but can appreciate that developing any sort of connection can be very beneficial in this instances. I feel that these things are supposed to be incredibly formal though so I'm hesitant to give the impression that I'm too comfortable in the position. I feel like it could be mistaken for arrogance. I suppose I'll have to read the situation as I go in that regard.
