Can 2 Meals + 150g of Protein Really Work?
|
New research just dropped — and it might flip your meal plan upside down. Hey meatheads, misfits, and protein pragmatists — I’ve got a spicy new study for you. My buddy Dr. David Church (aka @DrMyohead) and the legends over at Arny Ferrando’s lab just published a beast of a paper in The Journal of Nutrition. Real RCT. Real stable isotope tracers. Real metabolic carnage. Here’s the setup: What they found? I won’t spoil the rest here — the full breakdown (plus commentary, practical takeaways, and a nod to the Trommelen protein sledgehammer study) is waiting for you 👇 🔗 Read the full article here → And if you're the kind of person who wants protein research, you can actually use — not just to impress someone at a protein bar — you're going to love this. Dr. Mike P.S. Flex Diet Cert opens June 16. We go deep on protein, recovery, and everything else that actually works, with insights from Stu Phillips, Jose Antonio, and more. Stay tuned. _____________________ Mike T Nelson CISSN, CSCS, MSME, PhD Mike T Nelson is a PhD and not a physician or registered dietitian.

There’s a moment most people never reach. It’s the moment where you stop asking“What should I do?” …and start asking“Why am I still guessing?” Adam hit that moment in late December. No cleanse.No public declaration.No desperate attempt to out-suffer biology. He just decided it was time for a drastic change, so we set out on a gameplan based on the Flex Diet Cert to get him significantly leaner and stronger in record time. 41 days later, the numbers told a story the internet hates. Bodyweight...
If physiology cared about your plans, coaching would be easy. You’d set the variables.Your body would comply.Everyone would clap. …But adaptation doesn’t work that way. I often joke that physiology is associated with every “bad” engineering word as it is nonlinear, anisotropic, messy, and constrained by stress, recovery, and timing in ways no spreadsheet can fully capture.This is why many lose fat for three weeks and then stall.Why performance jumps and then inexplicably dips.Why the “perfect...
Fasting is one of the most misunderstood tools in nutrition. People “out there” talk about it like it’s a moral test. As if the goal is to endure hunger long enough to earn metabolic salvation. Physiologically, fasting is not a diet per say, it is a metabolic stressor. A useful one, for sure, but only when placed correctly. When you remove food, you amplify signaling: catecholamines rise fat oxidation increases AMPK activity shifts insulin dynamics change That’s the upside. The downside is...
