Is a Really Low Fat, Really High Carb Diet a Hack?
There is one particular study that someone might cite to make the case that a really low fat, really high carb diet is a bit of a hack. The details of it are sketchy, not ske i don't mean sketchy in terms of, like, i think the researchers did bad work, but sketchy on their face. A 28 day cross over study was only lookingt at changes in body composition over a one month. So not enough time for people to actually build quite a bit of muscle.
Today’s show begins with a recap of results from the men’s division of the IPF world championships and USAPL Mega-Nationals. After that, Eric revisits the topic of beta-ecdysterone and turkesterone supplementation in light of some controversy within the supplement industry. Next, Greg discusses the newest Stronger By Science article by Cameron Gill, which explores the most commonly neglected movements and muscles. That’s followed by a Coach’s Corner segment in which Eric discusses carbohydrate overfeeding in the context of bulking diets, and directly compares it to fat overfeeding. Finally, Greg discusses an unfortunate example of “science by press release” related to running’s effects on aortic stiffness, and Eric closes out the show by recommending some music to lift to.
