Can Diet Build Muscle?

Just came across an inter­est­ing video which will prob­a­bly be of great inter­est to a lot of you. First off, let me state upfront that this is not an affil­i­ate link. Even bet­ter still, once you leave this site to view the video, the author, Brad Pilon, does not ask you for your email address nor does he pitch any prod­ucts. Very rare in this day and age, I know.

First off, you might want to know a lit­tle back­ground. Brad Pilon is the author of Eat, Stop, Eat. This is an ebook which touts the ben­e­fits of inter­mit­tent fast­ing. He is also one of the co-creators of The Ado­nis Effect, an exer­cise pro­gram that stresses the impor­tance of cor­rect body pro­por­tions. I do not own nor have I ever tried The Ado­nis Effect, but I do own Eat, Stop, Eat and I receive Brad’s e-newsletter.

Dur­ing the Inflam­ma­tion The­ory video, Brad shows sci­en­tific evi­dence of the effects of the inflam­ma­tion process in the body and how it relates to aging, weight loss and weight gain, obe­sity and chronic dis­ease. He goes in-depth on how all this affects mus­cle build­ing, too. What I really want you to pay atten­tion to is when he shows how exces­sive exer­cise causes chronic inflam­ma­tion, which is bad. What he states next is great… he says that you need to bal­ance out exhaus­tive exer­cise with low inten­sity exer­cise. Sound famil­iar? That’s exactly what is preached here at After Forty Ten­nis! All you have to do is fol­low my work­outs on this site and you can see that is exactly what I am doing. You should be doing it, too.

You’ll prob­a­bly learn a lot about calo­rie restric­tion, the dif­fer­ent hor­mones that are involved dur­ing work­outs, and all backed by sci­ence. No spe­cific diets are rammed down your throat. As a mat­ter of fact, that’s one of the main rea­sons I fol­low Brad. He tells it like it is and backs it up with stud­ies. He doesn’t “data main” his facts, either. By that, I mean to say that he doesn‘t cherry-pick his stud­ies and pro­ceed to tell you only the parts that back up his claims. If you ever bother to read some of the stud­ies that most mar­keters use as “proof,” you’ll find that often­times these very same stud­ies con­tra­dict the marketer’s bul­let points!

Any­way, enough back­ground already. I’m sure you want to see the video. So, with­out fur­ther ado, I would like you to go view Inflam­ma­tion Theory!
