I have a thyroid disorder.

Low thyroid is best treated with medication. There is no evidence that the special diet you can pay Josh Redd to put you

I don’t even know what a thyroid is tbh. I’m sure mine is fine.

How about the “anabolic window”

Good one. Except with a big maybe if you train fasted but I think that needs to be studied further

my favorite myth. I don't want to lift "heavy" weights because I'll get bulky

Good one. Nobody ever accidentally woke up looking like a body builder

people try sooo hard and don't accomplish it. but yeah, it's gonna happen to

Distance running is good for you

monkeycowboy

2/14/20 9:26am

It is good for you. Just not the best way to spend your time if you want to get fit. For some people that is the only

That’s not a myth. You are better with it than without.

So you are saying some 40 year old, 40 lb overweight dude is not going to

Yes because when he hurts himself by not building up into it he will quit working out. Far better forms of exercise out

Also distance running physique is sort of disgusting. Why would i want to look emaciated?

monkeycowboy

I'm pretty sure they aren't doing it to care how you think they look.

You will only gain weight if you increase your caloric intake above whatever your new daily caloric expenditure is

Slim

2/14/20 9:34am

Yes but your myth buster is not really a myth

kimdaddy35

2/14/20 9:43am

If you are eating a caloric excess then how are you starving? Yes your metabolism slows so your daily caloric needs

Slim

2/14/20 9:45am

I work it hard everyday and eat healthy but I can’t lose weight.

Gerald-DeGroot

2/14/20 9:37am

Ever done a bodpod or dexa to help figure out your daily caloric need? I'd do that then either track

Slim

I was stating a “myth”. Lol.

My reply was meant to say “I do” want to do one of those pod things.

I agree with these theories. I feel the best when I eat 2 meals a day

I can't work out on an empty stomach

Pro Logic

I feel like I'm going to puke if I don't work out fasting.
