@Niall_Boylan @GBNEWS I agree the big shows are certainly BS biased and I can't listen to some of the tripe but the licence fee is validated by the fantastic @RTElyricfm and @TG4TV plus some exceptional late night music DJ's on @RTEOne
They alone are worth more than what I'm paying Netflix

@FondOfBeetles @fairplaywomen @TLexercise @Scienceofsport Massive effort, huge respect, well done 🤙

[Kevin Kennedy @RealfoodKev]

@gunsnrosesgirl3 Delicious, I'd love to be sitting down to that now, I think I'll go make it. hope the coffee is good too

[Kevin Kennedy @RealfoodKev]

@KevinH_PhD Very sad to hear. Thank you for all your work 💪 I've read some of it, and it has without question increased my knowledge, contributed to my academic studies and my approach to working with clients in the health and fitness space.
Best of luck with the next phase 🙌

@brady_h An earlier (2008) review of the literature

@brady_h Some research I read a couple of years ago investigated the specific composition of fats and their potential role in adipose gain
8% Linoleic acid had greater weight gain than 1% Linoleic acid (isocaloric) in mice

@theronandoherty @ATUDonegal_ @G_Wils89 @meabhcorr1 @s_meehan15 @NevinODonnell Thanks for all the work to get us there Rónán 👊, it was a fantastic 12 months of learning, made even better by getting to know all these guys.

@wesleyob1 I'd love a copy if still available Wesely, can't DM you unfortunately as I think you need to be following me.

Diet, like pharmacology or a surgical knife are tools, it's the mode of deployment that makes them successful
Pharma is effective and v profitable, surgery a distant 2nd and diet works but out in the wilderness financially

Innovation may change that, all we can do is try 🤞

[Dr. Spencer Nadolsky @DrNadolsky]

I've had dozens of patients tell me they had lost 50-100 pounds 4-5 TIMES in the past 10-15 years using keto and/or fasting. They lose and regain the same 50-100 pounds. Low carb and fasting diets will never solve the obesity epidemic. Nor will any diet for that matter.

Huge thanks to @Nerdrotics and @TheCriticalDri2 for the last couple of weeks making fantastic content out of the mess that is #TheAcolyte (I didn't watch any of it). I find it amazing how Disney is now making money for Google 😂
I may even go buy the book @audible_com recommended

[Kevin Kennedy @RealfoodKev]

@mackinprof The antimyostatin drugs are being developed to combat this.
Hopefully getting resistance exercise will still be the first line of defence as there is a lot more to muscle function then just inhibiting a single growth factor

Working on the foundation for my MSc thesis on the female athlete triad this paper by @CassidySports stood out.

The RED-S questionnaire in particular is something that I believe will become a very useful tool in screening.

@NBTiller @SkeptInquirer @BradSchoenfeld @CaulfieldTim Nice work, enjoyable to read and I learnt a bit more than I knew yesterday 🤙

[Kevin Kennedy @RealfoodKev]

@Shane_Mangan @JohnFogartyIrl Open in Edge and use immersive reader to bypass the ad
Not a lot more context really, I read it as the cost being the bugbear but that's part of the progression with any sport as athletes strive to be champions

Great study!
1) best evidence yet that meal distribution doesn't matter that much
2) the upper limit of what our muscle can use - higher than we thought!

Unknown
1) what this means long-term
2) whether this translates into gainz
3) the balance of protein in muscle - not whole body

Outstanding work!!

[Kevin Kennedy @RealfoodKev]

I've listened to this podcast 3 times and found every piece of it insightful @BubbleCoaching 👏 It's spurned several more interesting discussions including me packing in lifting during lunchtime to chat with with a passing @murphm95 at @ATUDonegal_

@catherineeats I put organic butter on @SuperValuIRL shelves in 2017 with their fantastic Food Academy
It's very niche and beset by manufacturing headaches
I made the mistake of focusing too much on butter when it's too small a fraction of the milk
Would be great to see someone try again
