    de novo fat synthesis from carbs

    i am coming to understand that fat gain/loss is simply a result of hyper-/hypo- calorific diet. but... something i recently read informed me that there is very little 'de novo' fat synthesis from carbohydrate intake. (How true is that statement?) Carbs in the diet are used for energy, and as...

    continuous tension

    no , he is saying that 3+2=5. peforming 5 reps straight or breaking them up still exposes the muscle cells to the load for the same amount of time. the only thing you might loose out on is the build up of metabolic by-products and their stimulation of improved muscle quality.

    Casein in the UK

    but gram for gram of protein, im pretty sure that £20/kg of casein (80% protein) works out cheaper than a kg of 15% cottage cheese..... tesco plain bog-standard cottage cheese= £0.75/300g 15/100 * 300 = 45g protein 45g protein= £0.75 1000g/45g= 22.2 22.2*0.75= £16.6 per kilo protein Ok so...

    One month / one pound

    regardless of how good it might be for lean mass gains, it would be impractical. how would you tell if you were on track?

    Keto or Atkins, and HST

    if using CKD with HST, arent we simply doing full on no carb during the week plus a refeed at weekend? Or are there modifications that can be made to fit it around HST?

    Q for Bryan re HSN Products
