    Low T because of obesity?

    You might test a zero carb diet to see if it can help you get further than low carb could. http://meatheals.com Scroll down to the Nevada Gray case study as well. She's not a paraplegic, but suffered some spinal nerve impingement that was partially ameliorated with zero carb. Really, I wish...

    More evidence that soy does not affect testosterone levels

    Maybe re-read that article more carefully? Both arms of the study contained 15 g of soy. So it certainly doesn't support the claim that "soy does not affect testosterone levels".

    Calories and putting on muscle mass?

    1) Drop the fruit - it's just sugar. Worse, it's mostly fructose, which leads to fatty liver. 2) What you are calling "salads" is your biggest problem. A "salad" is drenched in a ton of soybean oil-based "dressing" to make it edible. Soybean oil is among the most fattening, bad-for-you things...

    Blood Glucose and A1C show improvement, blood meter showing rise in blood sugar lately?

    I'm not a diabetic, but could it be the 'dawn phenomenon'? Also, the bread in the sandwiches and the mini-wheats might be doing you in. You are probably also drinking sodas with your Jack in the Box meals -- even the artificial sweetness of diet sodas can spike blood sugar. This is a...

    Is it possible to be on a diet to lose belly fat and increase exersize to build muscle?

    it will definitely be hard to lose belly fat and gain muscle at the same time. It's possible, but not easy. And I think you're wise to focus on making sure you're eating enough protein. But you really won't be losing belly fat as long as you're eating 156 grams of carbs a day. (And that's...

    Is it possible to be on a diet to lose belly fat and increase exersize to build muscle?

    The answer is in your question. Each hammer gel is 21 grams of carbs, basically all sugar. (Though they use a lot of sugar analogs so they can make a label claim of 2 grams of sugar, their main ingredients are maltodextrin, apple juice concentrate, grape juice, rice dextrin, dextrose -- these...

    Plant Based Diet Protects against Heart Disease

    FeelingGood, not sure if you still have any issues in that area, but if you do, this book by David Burns is absolutely excellent: When Panic Attacks Note that you do actually have to do the (simple) exercises to get relief. (Merely reading the book will not give much benefit.)

    Statins and Muscle Performance: Evidence for Metabolism Disturbance

    With mortality is an endpoint, the only population of humans that benefits from statins are males with *documented* previous heart attacks. NO other population benefits when mortality is the endpoint. NO one else should be on a statin. Great talk with Dave Feldman showing how you can easily...

    These Mice Stopped Eating Carbs So You (Maybe) Don't Have To

    I don't know him; I just follow him. Some people follow vegans like Rich Roll, diets like thirty bananas a day etc. Good for them. And I'm not a candidate for being an endurance or power athlete of any kind. But it seems interesting that he's getting the best results of his life at 50 on such...

    These Mice Stopped Eating Carbs So You (Maybe) Don't Have To

    there is also a fair amount of starch in a banana, which the body will convert into additional sugars during digestion. Basically, all non-fiber carbs become sugar (glucose) in the body, while fructose is handled directly by the liver (often becoming liver fat, particularly when choline is...
