I've watched the episode, thanks for posting easaglik.
Interesting stuff. But is this the the right kind of diet for sports people and body builders? I am a sportsman and I do try keep in shape with resistance workouts. I generally have low carbs in my diet (when I say low carbs I mean low complex carbs, ie starchy food, I eat as much vegetables as I can). When trying to lose body fat, I would eat 6 days low calorie and 1 day eat anything I like (with moderation). This works very well for me when losing the body fat. When I am maintaining, I just eat a steady health balance diet, (40% protein, 30 carb, 30% fat). Now this program is telling me that if I have too much protein, I increase my risks of cancer, etc. So is this program trying to say that body builders are at increased risk of cancer and other illnesses?
Another thing is fasting. I am actually a qualified PT (though not practising, I took the course for self knowledge and to train friends). What I have learnt is that starving is bad because that leads to plateauing (ie the brain knows there is a shortage of food, so tries to preserve the fat storage). But the program medical results show improvement of health and lower body fat. Definitley an eye opener but I dont feel this applies to sportsmen and bodybuilders.
But this is all interesting. This same presenter had done other health exploration programs similar to this one, and always using himself as a subject. What I find amusing is that in the previous programs he has done, he has found a solution to living a healthier lifestyle and it ends with him promising to adapt that lifestyle.
Clearly from this latest program, he never did  |
