No quote applies better to the supplement and weight loss industry than this one: "A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on." - Winston Churchill

peeps these days be complaining about how hard it is to hit the 10000 steps a day goal because you dont even have to leave the house, just order everything from amazon... well, stop ordering from them and get a job on amazon's warehouse floor, and you'll be doing 30,000 a day!

Turkesterone is right up there with the biggest pieces of bodybuilding scams in the history of the supplement industry BS ... yeah... im old enough to remember beta ecdysterone.. BS then, BS now. ... will write about this more soon on my blog..

FALSE! this is an old one. And In fact, one I used to believe. metabolism does increase when you eat. Its called thermic effect of feeding. But... if you have 3 large thermic effects or 6 small thermic effects, the ed result is the same - no difference in metabolism or fat loss

[tomvenuto @tomvenuto]

Metabolism quiz part 5 (last one): Eating meals more frequently (for example 6 smaller meals instead of 3 larger ones) speeds up your metabolism. True or false?

[tomvenuto @tomvenuto]

@cubsyanks no. totally different. if you have any specific questions, fire away

[tomvenuto @tomvenuto]

@MarrowofDoom youre the best person on twitter

[tomvenuto @tomvenuto]

Answer: False. "metabolic damage" is not a scientific term. However, metabolic adaptation does exist. You burn fewer calories after calorie restriction and weight loss than you'd predict, but it returns to normal when energy balance is restored. https://t.co/v0zGKahprn

Metabolism quiz part 4: Extreme diets leading to massive weight loss can permanently damage your metabolism, causing weight regain and making it harder to lose weight in the future. True or false?

[tomvenuto @tomvenuto]

@MarrowofDoom Lol

[tomvenuto @tomvenuto]

Metabolism quiz part 3: Your metabolism will go into "starvation mode" and you'll stop burning fat if you eat too little. True or false?

[tomvenuto @tomvenuto]

You guys are sharp! The answer is false. Metabolism may slow down with aging but it’s due to decreased activity, lack of resistance training and subsequent muscle loss not chronological age per se. A drop purely due to age begins at 60 https://t.co/aqV3tXuZ9Q

[tomvenuto @tomvenuto]

Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle metabolism quiz… part 2. True or false? Your metabolism automatically starts to slow down in your 40s and 50s purely as a result of aging. Answer tomorrow morning.

[tomvenuto @tomvenuto]

@mattwboyer You’re more right than wrong but it’s nuanced to the point that it’s not unfair to call it a trick question. Let’s see what others say….

[tomvenuto @tomvenuto]

@Liz_Alfano I wish it were true. If you’re a man a lifetime of muscle gains really can bump up your metabolic rate… not as helpful in this cake it’s for women because how many women want to gain 20 or 39 lbs of lean mass even if they could

[tomvenuto @tomvenuto]

Saturday Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle quiz: Each pound of muscle you build burns (increases resting metabolic rate) 50 more calories per day. True or false? Will post correct answer tomorrow
