What do you mean by this? can you be a little more explicit in what you are asking?

what's your opinion about warrior diet (warriordiet.com) or leangains guide? (http://www.leangains.com/)

can you gain muscle mass while doing this? and what should plan look like on both diets?.. cuz i'm tired of eating 6 times a day.. it's really frustrating.. there's a lot of other stuff i could do..

so basically i'm asking you to make some eating/training guides for both warrior and leangains.. like you have your made keto diet and 5x5 and so on..

What could be the results/consequences/outcomes/mutations that one would expect from eating fish that had mercury in it over a length of time?

when do you lose cardio vascular endurance... from inactivity?

like your BP getting weaker because you stopped training etc

Warrior Diet is a total crock of BS. If that garbage worked, then 90% of the worlds fat people would be ripped. I mean this because the concept of ONE giant meal per day at night is not only stupid, but it also prevents your body from requisitioning necessary aminos and glycogen throughout the day to supply adequate energy. This will in turn burn fat, but ALSO burn muscle. You will NOT get big doing that plan unless you are a genetic mesomorph freak.

Secondly, the leangains guide, is a little bit less exaggerated. It employs a typical fasting metabolism to perform major exercise functions which in turn burns the most fat. The problem is, this will get you looking like a very lean stringbean. You are not going to see epic mass gains on this diet, nor are you going to see NEW muscle formation much beyond what you already have. This is a standard 3 meal a day diet with morning fasting exercise. There really isn't much more to it.

Here is the basic idea - for true honest to goodness health, eating frequently throughout the day is by far the healthiest method.

I do NOT advise you do anything of the sort with the 1 or 3 meal a day method...as both of these are not good for overall health and muscle building.

the best thing I can suggest is to do the 3 meal + 3 shakes diet. This is the easiest to follow if you are having a problem eating 6 times a day.

Eat 3 regular meals as usual

Breakfast- Regular meal
Meal 2 - Shake
Meal 3 - regular meal
Meal 4 - shake
Meal 5 - regular meal
Pre-bedtime - shake


The shakes should be complete MRP's which means...

40g protein, 10g fat, 20-30g carbs (except for the pre-bedtime shake which would have less carbs).

Meal 2 and 4 Shake example:

1.5 scoops of Optimum Nutrition Pro Complex + 1 tbsp peanut butter + handful of strawberries/blueberries + handful of oats



Pre Bedtime shake example:

1.5 scoops of Optimum Nutrition Pro Complex + 1 tbsp peanut butter + 1/2 cup milk

Increased risk of various types of cancer, dementia, alzheimers, heart disease, stroke, etc.

It can be quite serious.

Yes, lack of training. The heart is a muscle, and without proper training it can atrophy to an extent. To keep your cardiovascular system up to par, it needs to be challenged SOMEWHAT. Long distance cardio is a very bad thing for heart as we have found in recent years. HIIT is by far the healthiest choice as it gets your heart to the point of building endurance , without doing it for long enough to cause potential damage.

Everything looks good for a solid bulk, except for a few things changed below:


Breakfast
4 eggs
2 slices of toast
1 glass of milk
1 large serving of fruit

Snack
Bran Muffin
1 glass of milk

Lunch
Sandwich (at least 40g protein worth of meat/cheese/fish/eggs)
piece of fruit
1 serving of veggies
1 glass of milk

Snack
Granola Bar
Slice of cheese or meat
1 glass of milk

Supper
Meat (at least 40g protein worth of chicken, beef, pork, etc.)
Pasta, Rice, or Potatoes
Cup of veggies
1 glass of milk

Snack
2 cups of milk
2 slices of bread with peanut butter and blueberries or strawberries



Also do not forget your PWO shake....after a workout you require a 40g protein shake mixed with 1 cup of fresh fruit or more.
