I however am very normal. Trust me.
MWI is the man, advice is always spot on.
I would think it would go the other way and actually promote a reasonable amount of muscle growth as you'll be highly recruiting type 2 fibres (with a high potential for growth) - think track cyclist legs. But it's always going to depend on total volume, timing of anaerobic vs aerobic exercise, energy input/output and periodisation.MWI would anaerobic sprints still promote your body to keep muscle low?
Good thread.
Agree with no carbs before bed. Makes it harder to get to sleep.
Overweight people should avoid fat after dark. Stop their body storing it in their sleep.
While I am not convinced eating carbs, fats or sacrificing virgins after dark has much effect on the average persons mass, for the average person getting the calorie intake correct and not having massive meals is the dominate factor - grazing 4-6 small meals a day seems to work a lot better. But - there might actually be something to not eating fat/carbs at night for the purpose of weight loss as your body is well aware of circadian cycles, if you want to put on weight this is a anecdotal method as most serious body builders will eat wake up and eat in the middle of the night.Yeah that's all a myth. Your body doesn't know what time it is.....
Well known phenomenon that shift workers put on weight, a study many years ago actually monitored everything they ate before going on night shift and also compared to aged matched controls who work on days. With the same food intake but at night the shift workers did put on a significant amount of weight. Unfortunately the study could/did not account for changes in sleep patterns and physical activity - which may have been the underlying cause of the weight gain.
It certainly has an effect in mice (they aren't allowed to lock people up for the test...)
Circadian timing of food intake contributes to weight gain.
