| The downside of quick fat loss | 455 Tage her | ||
OK we all know that losing fat is a good thing. But let's look at theway we lose it. On the internet these days we can see all these "lose 20 pounds in 2 weeks" ultraspeed fat loss plans etc etc. I've always argued that slow weight loss is the ideal goal, why... because as you lose weight you learn about what certain foods do to your body, you relearn how to eat properly. If you do find some miracle system that does work, say a heavy training schedule & dietary system you go on for month, & you achieve your goals, then what? You can't stay on an ultra-gruelling diet & training plan forever, you'll overtrain, get sick & not do so well at all, but what do you eat, have you learnt to pre-pack food to take along to places where you might not find healthy choices, have you learnt that you might be ok to eat bread AM, but in the evening maybe it bloats you a bit & you tend to add more fat? Have you learnt to prepare a selection of healthy meals over several months & learnt to appreciate the new textures & flavours available...basically you haven't got the support system in place to keep the weight off, you've got no idea what to eat, how to train & what to do to keep that weight off. A slower introduction to a diet allows you to learn as you go along, so you can slowly increase the good & decrease the bad in your diet, so by the time you reach your goal you will have all the tools already in place to keep to that fat level, it will already be habit! .... That was my main argument for a slow fat loss, rather than a quick fat loss program (a well as the fact that often quick 'fat loss' involves lean muscle loss as well in many cases). But I have come across another rather interesting reason to keep fat loss slow & that is 'organochlorines'. Organochlorines are fat soluble products that are toxic to humans, we all ingest them. As the body doesn't like them floating about they are either excreted or stored in fat, strangely the preferred choice appears to be storing in fat, so obviously someone with more fat stores more of these toxic substances. Now suppose you lose a lot of fat, very quickly? Yep, a lot of these toxins are simply dumped into the body & you can suffer thyroid problems, skin problems, organ problems etc etc, all the things that make dieting & reaching & maintaining your goals harder. By dieting more slowly you actually release these chemicals at a manageable rate, so you will not get the extreme toxicity effects that can be associated with quick fat loss systems. I'll put the research below for you to look at for yourself, I'll also put up a related piece of research about athletes, lean sedentary people & fat peoples organochlorine levels that shows that athletes have lower levels than either lean sedentary or fat people (lean sedentary have less than fat people, but not as low levels as athletes). Hopefully those of you who's goals involve fat loss who are slowly slimming down can take some comfort in the fact that you're doing things the best way for overall health. ~~ http://tinyurl.com/6pkbgw Obes Rev. 2003 Feb;4(1):17-24. Energy balance and pollution by organochlorines and polychlorinated biphenyls.Pelletier C, Imbeault P, Tremblay A. Division of Kinesiology, PEPS, Laval University, Ste-Foy, Québec, Canada. Organochlorines are fat-soluble chemical compounds resistant to degradation, so they are stored in the adipose tissue of practically every organism on the planet, including humans. Accumulation of these compounds in the body seems to be related to fat mass, obese individuals having a higher plasma organochlorine concentration than lean subjects. During body weight loss, lipid mobilization and a decrease in fat mass result in increased concentrations of organochlorines in plasma and adipose tissue. Organochlorines may have adverse health effects. For example, they have been associated with altered immune and thyroid functions and with some types of cancer. As these compounds may reach their target organs whilst in the circulation, their increase in plasma during weight loss might be associated with some physiological changes occurring during weight loss. Relationships have indeed been reported among weight loss-induced increase in plasma organochlorine concentration and decreased triiodothyronine (T3) concentration, resting metabolic rate, and skeletal muscle markers for fat oxidation. Although further studies are needed to assess the causality of these relationships, they raise concern about some potential undesirable effects of weight loss. Indeed, the effects of organochlorines on energy balance could complicate body weight loss and even favour weight regain. These notions lend support for weight-loss strategies favouring a moderate weight loss, which would reduce risks for cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and hypertension, without resulting in a substantial release of organochlorines. ~~ http://tinyurl.com/5mf7p4 Med Sci Sports Exerc. 2002 Dec;34(12):1971-5. Links Plasma organochlorine concentrations in endurance athletes and obese individuals.Pelletier C, Després JP, Tremblay A. Physical Activity Sciences Laboratory and Division of Kinesiology, PEPS and Department of Food Science and Nutrition, Laval University, Ste-Foy (Québec), Canada. PURPOSE: Organochlorines are lipophilic compounds that are ingested with food and that accumulate in adipose tissue. Their plasma concentrations were compared in three groups of individuals with different body fatness characteristics: endurance athletes, lean sedentary subjects, and obese individuals. METHODS: The relationship between body fat mass and total plasma organochlorine concentration adjusted for age was analyzed by pooling data of sedentary lean and obese subjects. The regression equation derived from this analysis was also used to predict residual scores of total organochlorine concentrations in trained individuals, which were compared to measured values in these subjects. RESULTS: Plasma organochlorine concentrations tended to be lower in athletes in comparison with values measured among lean sedentary individuals. Their concentrations were higher in obese individuals than in lean sedentary subjects and athletes. Total plasma organochlorine concentration was positively associated to body fat mass in the sedentary group (lean and obese combined, reference population). CONCLUSION: Large adipose tissue compartment such as observed in obese individuals is associated with increased levels of circulating organochlorines, whereas leaner sedentary and trained persons have a lower plasma concentration of these compounds. | |||

| Endurance Vs weights-best cholesterol remover? | 475 Tage her | ||
OK there are many reasons for doing either strength training with weights & endurance training. Here's a study comparing the effects on 'bad' cholesterol when using the same amount of energy doing either endurance or resistance training.First have a think, then read on which would you suspect...? To tell the truth I thought endurance would win this one, makes sense, you use fat doing endurance, right? You use carbs doing weights, endurance would have been my guess..but as you may suspect by now I was wrong! Here's the quick answer, I'll put the whole study below: Resistance training reduced 'bad' cholesterol in the blood & speeded up 'bad' cholesterol removal from the blood. Endurance training did..nothing! That's right nothing!!! It appears you may use fat doing endurance work, but it may not be the bad cholesterol. Now there's a shocker for you. Weights may not remove much fat from the body, but it appears to clear up the old arteries better than aerobics! Of course this is only one study, but if you have a cholesterol issue I'd consider VERY seriously beginning a weight training program (obviously be sensible here, if you're new to training start very, very light, using short sessions & work up as your fitness improves-& consult your doctor before you do any exercise plan) http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1... J Appl Physiol. 2008 Jul 31. [Epub ahead of print]Related Articles Acute exercise-induced changes in basal VLDL-triglyceride kinetics leading to hypotriglyceridemia manifest more readily after resistance than endurance exercise. Magkos F, Tsekouras YE, Prentzas KI, Basioukas KN, Matsama SG, Yanni AE, Kavouras SA, Sidossis LS. Harokopio University. Resistance training is considered less effective than endurance training in lowering plasma triglyceride (TG) concentrations. Acutely, however, a single bout of strenuous exercise, whether endurance or resistance, increases the efficiency of very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL)-TG removal from the circulation and leads to hypotriglyceridemia. The comparative effects of these two types of exercise on VLDL-TG metabolism are not known. We therefore examined basal VLDL-TG kinetics by using stable isotope labeled tracers in 7 healthy, non-obese, untrained young men in the post-absorptive state, the morning after a single 90-min bout of either low-intensity endurance exercise (~30% of peak oxygen consumption) or high-intensity resistance exercise (3 sets of 10 repetitions for 12 exercises at 80% of peak torque production), matched for total energy expenditure (~400 kcal), or an equivalent period of rest on the preceding afternoon. Compared with rest, resistance exercise lowered fasting plasma VLDL-TG concentration by -28+/-10% (P=0.034), increased VLDL-TG plasma clearance rate by 30+/-8% (P=0.003), and shortened the mean residence time (MRT) of VLDL-TG in the circulation by -36+/-11 min (P=0.016), whereas endurance exercise had no effect (all P>0.05). Basal VLDL-TG plasma clearance rate was greater (P=0.003) and VLDL-TG MRT was shorter (P=0.012) the morning after resistance than endurance exercise. We conclude that, for the same total energy expenditure, resistance exercise is more potent than endurance exercise in eliciting changes in VLDL-TG metabolism that have been linked with hypotriglyceridemia, and should thus be considered as an alternative to or in addition to endurance exercise for the control of plasma TG concentrations. Key words: lipid kinetics, aerobic, isokinetic, triacylglycerol, physical activity. | |||

| Rotator cuff relief DVD | 479 Tage her | ||
I just received the Elite FTS DVD Rotator cuff relief http://tinyurl.com/6rskznAs Elite FTS charge such a huge amount to export DVD's I get a guy in the US I know to buy them, then he forwards them on (nice one Ron!), so it takes some time for me to get stuff that way, but LOADS cheaper. Basically the DVD runs through many different rotator cull & scapula exercises (many shoulder issues actually start in the scapulae, note that being able to move the scapulae correctly under load has caused many secondary conditions including rotator cuff problems, even bi/tri problems!). The DVD isn't perfect in terms of DVD production, layout & options, but it does cover many different short routines, so you could watch one & do it one week, then another & do it the week after etc or cycle then using your preferred method for prehab/rehab. I would say that if you have had or are concerned about the shoulder girdle, then this might be a good DVD to invest in. I do warn you though that if you are outside the US, then get someone to purchase it within the US, then get them to forward it on as international postage from Elite FTS is the highest I've come across from any company I've done business with over there. | |||

| What are your goals? | 487 Tage her | ||
OK here's a good one. By answering this you'll find people who share your goal, so can help motivate each other, talk about possible training strategies that will allow you to get where you want & even things you've found have helped you head towards your goal. From here we might want to split off into topics that deal with goals, like a "Fat burning" topic, "Mass gaining"topic, "Toning up" topic etc etc.OK I'll start I'm kind of looking for a balance of strength & size increase, I don't really want to get either bigger without strength or stronger without size. Kind of like the bodybuilders of the 1940's through to 1960's who were mostly big, but very strong (John Grimek, Steve Stanko, Steve Reeves, Clancy Ross etc). I know I haven't got there natural build & started VERY late getting interested, but I'm certainly improving slowly every year. So, that's my long term goal. Slightly shorter term are to parallel squat twice my own bodyweight (I am the worst squatter in the world!), shoulder press my own bodyweight (had some rotator cuff injuries, so this might take a while, but I think I've got it in me), I've benched 1.5 times my bodyweight pre-rotator cuff injury getting to above that would be something I'd like to do (but that's secondary to the shoulder press). Also on the size front I'd like to up my weight while not gaining too much bodyfat maybe 6 - 7 pounds by the end of the year with some serious eating & training. That's about it for my goals, so how about yours - remember by announcing goals you automatically increase your chances of getting them - that's a fact! | |||

| favourite exercise | 488 Tage her | ||
Hi,I was wondering what your favourite exercise is? Mine is the squat. I am simply the worst squatter in the world, but I have a love/hate thing going on with the squat. Having a heavy squat on your back is, to be quite frank, scary & the thought of going down into the 'hole' with that on your back is pretty intimidating, but once you've done a heavy set, the feeling is quite unbelievable. Deadlifts have similar effects on the body & to be honest I'm a much better deadlifter...but.. you don't get the same factors you get in a squat, if you fail in deadlift you drop the bar & it crashes to the floor. With a squat the weight is on your back (or front), so if you fail YOU'RE going down! Of course you've got safety bars in place so you won't get crushed, but still that psychological difference is a BIG one! When I think about training I often actually think of the squat, I look forward/dread leg day as I know what's coming is going to be hard, incredibly hard, but in the end I will reach my first goal of a 2 times bodyweight squat to parallel, from there we'll have to see just how high I can take it. As a note I lift completely raw, I don't use knee wraps, belts, suits or any other equipment, that is by choice if you want/need any equipment to squat safely then I suggest you use it, as this is about the most taxing lift there is! Anyway enough of my witterings about the joy of squatting, what is your favourite exercise? It can be weights, cardio whatever. | |||

| Welcome | 496 Tage her | ||
Hi,My name is Pete & I just thought I'd put up a bit about the group, who I am extra for those who have stumbled across it. If you can also bear in mind I'm totally new to Bebo, so I don't know how anything at all works :-) This Bebo group is really just an extension of the Vegan Bodybuilding website http://www.veganbodybuilding.org/ which itself came from one page I put up on an old animal rights website (I wanted to find out if I was the only person interested in gaining some muscle mass while also being a vegan). From those humble beginnings we now do shows & contests at various vegan events around the country, organise lectures, as well as informing people about what's going on in the world of vegan sport & answering questions about diet & training. I am a certified personal trainer, have a diploma in anatomy & physiology, qualified massage therapist, I've also taken specist qualificatino in training those with M.E. & fibromyalgia & I'm a qualified sports nutritionist. Basically how I'd like to see the group develop is to have vegans join, but also be welcoming enough so that non-vegans who are interested can come along & join in, so they may consider giving veganism a go while they are in training. The only rules really are not to promote non-vegan products, no rascist, homophobic, or other offensive stuff & no picking on people. Other than that it's pretty open talk about training, diet, or whatever & that will be ok. We're all here to learn something AND to have a bit of fun, so let's get the group moving! All the best & stay strong :-) | |||
