Unfortunately, this attitude just about sums you up, though I expect as much when posting on a forum that caters for pre-pubescents and teenagers. Yes, I'm sure sales of said tabloid went through the roof when this story was released. Afterall, selling newspapers is a business for making...

Ah yes, you read it in the tabloids so it must be true. Are you able to copy and paste the article onto the thread from the Washington Post website for further dissection? - B.A.

Diaphoresis (profuse or increased perspiration) is commonplace amongst teenage boys. Though if it makes you self conscious and you don not wish to wait a few years for the problem to naturally correct itself, you could always see a dermatologist to have the condition addressed *immediately*...

One theory that has been proven is that people who incorporate meat in their diets have greater rates of longevity compared to vegans and committed vegetarians, though their are numerous factors that can affect this comparison. As previously quoted by CliffStamp on another forum: "For...

1g of protein per lb of body mass is just a "rule of thumb" (more of a guideline than a necessity). Obviously a pound of adipose tissue will have vastly differing protein requirement compared to a pound of active muscle tissue. Though their are many factors to address when trying to calculate...

Hydrogenated oils/ fats do not necessarily contain trans fatty acids, nor are they created by simply heating vegetable oils to *high* temperatures (such as that of frying). There are numerous factors required to produce trans fats: A tank of hydrogen (as part of the hydrogenation process); a...

Whey is great in its natural form, that is the waste run off from cheese, its full of lactobacteria that promote healthy flora in the bowel, and also contains the necessary co factors and enzymes necessary to aid in the digestion of the protein (such as trypsin). Though your body can easily make...

Reeves combined slow digesting protein foods/ products with fats. With whole milk, I am indeed referring to full fat milk, organic if possible. - B.A.

Typically avoid foods that are neither "wholesome" or "natural/ organic". Have your diet revolve around fat/ protein foods such as whole eggs, whole milk, cream, red meat, poultry, organ meat, fish, nuts, seeds, coconut products (milk, fat etc), oils (like flax seed)and complex carb foods such...

Pre digested/ whey protein, especially in *large amounts* is virtually useless as such an excessful unnatural amount of protein will result in an amino acid spike for 1-2 hours before amino acid blood levels come crashing back down again and you find yourself with a deficit - similar reaction as...

I did the Cooper Test/ (12 minute run/ walk) last Monday and managed only 2200 metres myself (37 laps of a 60m track). I can assure you that, although 2.2km isn't breath taking, going by the results of all the Sports Science classes at my college, it is a respectable distance and would rank...

I personally am able to run 6 days a week without suffering an injury, though you've got to train smart. You still haven't told me why you want to run, and because you haven't, it's alot harder to help you :) - B.A.

Very vague/ generalised questions. Are you running for cardio vascular performance, or weight loss? I personally would suggest high performance running (high km/hr, short duration) for both (similar principles to HIIT training) performance and weight loss. Long duration, low intensity running...

Blade - Techno Blood Rave aka Confusion - New Order Best Hard House/ Rave song I've ever downloaded (had it for years and it still gets me in the mood for training). - B.A.

Egg yolks are also a natural source of fat, which is another factor which makes them healthier for you. If possible, organic eggs are an even better choice. Eggs have come under alot of bad press recently, which is really unjustified. If you are a physically active person, the animal fats...

Absolutely. Avoid any products containing processed "trans fat" hydrogenated fats/ oils. Number 1 culprits are margarine and cooking foods using cheap vegetable oils. Avoid packaged/ sealed/ tinned convenience (microwave etc) foods aswell. If you wish to take good nutrition a step further...

Done my A Level Biology in high school (British grades), & I'm currently undertaking my Sports Science Degree. - B.A.

Your epiphyseal plates fully ossify around the age of 25, which is when it is physically impossible for your long bones to grow in length anymore. - B.A.

No. Just because you decide to eat 200 or 300 or 400 grams of protein per day, that doesn't mean it will all be used for "building muscle". Protein is like carbohydrates and fats (It is also made from carbon, hydrogen and oxygen). The only exception is that it also contains Nitrogen. Any...

Lean bulk is an oxymoron, just like military intelligence. - B.A.
