What many dieters mistake for a “damaged” or “slowed metabolism” is a subconscious drop in non-exercise energy expenditure combined with a few meals and/or beverages every weekend that nullify the targeted caloric deficit.

Here is a graph I created, using @bigfatsurprise logic, illustrating how the low-carbohydrate diet accelerated the US obesity epidemic. It's just as unconvincing as the argument that government diet advice caused it.

You don’t need to pay for a DEXA scan to figure out your body fat %. Just look in the mirror and follow this legendary chart from @TheAlanAragon. Your goal should be 10-15% for metabolic health, ladies add around 10% to these numbers.

If you’re paying influencers but not tracking CPMs, you’re flying blind. $40 CPM = solid. $20 CPM = elite. $10 CPM = you’ve hacked the matrix.

Here’s an idea for your lab, @JeffNippard: The marketers of EAA will try to convince you that 25g/day is the anabolic equivalent of 125g protein. Okay cool, I’d LOVE to see an isocaloric comparison in resistance trainees on changes in body comp. I’d bet on the 125g protein group.

Yet another study showing similar whole muscle hypertrophy when training with heavy vs light loads. The evidence is overwhelming. May be a benefit to varying rep ranges for optimal results; for the gen pop likely doesn't make a meaningful difference 💪 https://t.co/j70oznRX6U

Aging well requires being aware of your physical and mental weaknesses, and proactively strengthening them. Aging well does not mean getting better at tiptoeing around how fragile you’re becoming. The older you get, the harder (and smarter) you need to fight.
