Interesting set of video's there.
I like that one person gained muscle from doing nothing. If only I could do that
lolThe hunger findings were also interesting at the end.

Looks like some people do better on carbs or fat..
As I have said before it all depends on insulin, gene expression, and even digestive enzyme function. So many factors...
So to answer your earlier statement bro yes some people loose more weight on high fat and some people lose more on higher even if calories are the same.

Well add something to the discussion. What do you disagree with.

With regard to 8. - what about an active muscle? Even at low activity? I bet you'd see a greater disparity. When is a muscle ever truly inactive? Except maybe the muscle responsible for nose flaring.
9. - bullsht. you can gain a sht tonne of muscle in 3 months as a beginner. It really depends on starting weight and physical condition. A sedentary person who smokes and eats nothing could easily put on ten kilos.

Lol, I can't be bothered doing the maths, but you would have to be eating AND utilising a lot of protein to gain 10kgs of lean muscle. Anyone can put on 10kgs of weight in 3 months, whether its fat or muscle is any ones guess. That is why it is stupid when people go oh I have lost 10kg of fat or put on 5kg of muscle, how did you measure that??

yep, 10 is an exageration well spotted. 1kg a month is further from the truth though.
Interesting theories there.
I have around 2000 calories a day over 5 meals; personal preference .. I don't feel "hungry" at all for the last 8 months by doing this and making sure to get enough protein and fibre in the diet.
Have mainly my carbs in the morning/while I am active, with protein too; and mainly protein for my last 2 meals of the day when I am less active.
I just think it's common sense really.
As for the "starvation mode", consuming a very very low calorie diet -- sure you will lose weight; but expect big muscle losses also. Losing "fat" not "weight" is the way to go.

Interesting from another Sticky thread:
7) Lucky Seven
Bodybuilders make better gains eating 4-6 meals a day and even better with 7. Multiple meals supplies non-stop muscle building nutrients without setting off fat storing hormones and enzymes associated with larger, infrequent meals. The other plus: cortisol control. The many meal approach suppresses cortisol levels, the hormone that can suppress muscle growth.

some studies even suggest that low protein diets are better for cortisol ...doesnt mean im not gonna eat protein though...to me 5 meals does make better sense then 3 not because of cortisol levels which are probably more dependent on genetics then anything else anyways..pretty much if i dont eat for ages i get so hungry that i dont care what i eat anymore and i also end up eating more...with 5 meals my insulin stays more constant which keeps me on track and not feeling hungry in between meals...so many unknown factors in nutrition though...i would say people should go with what works best for them personally..

Cortisol isnt an evil hormone...
It is very neccisary. It becomes a problem when it is OVERLY elevated due to a chroic stress repsonse. or HPA dysfunction.
Also if your hormones are optimal they will coutneract the catabolic effects of cortisol... Then again so does eating!
Cortisol isnt the end of the world... In fact many peoples reason for not being able to get through work outs, lack of energy , and ability to get through the day is actually lack of cortisol. Thus the need for caffeine and stims.
