In offseason eatin steak once a day. Too much. I eat it with breakfast only along with 4 whole omega 3 eggs. Thats my entire breakfast right now. (Not big on carbs unless around training) i will say that my cholesterol is slightly high. Not bad but just a tic over normal. Doc actually said not to worry about it.said all people are slightly different and mine wasnt bad enough to raise a flag. That being said when that bloodwork was done i was on a shit diet that literally consisted of nothing but junk and a cheeseburger 1x a day hahaha i have since cleaned up alot

Elevated cholsterol does not come from dietary consumption of cholesterol. It can be elevated for many reasons but one of the primary reasons is elevated insulin levels which is caused by diets high in carbs which is what it sounds like your problem was.
 
Truish. Didnt really think of that. Kinda just wanted ither peoples reassurance lol. Thabks for the responses guys.

I just got done eating 8oz of a NY strip . This is my lunch M-F . It is part of my meal prep. I eat 16oz of chicken also for meals 4 and 5. This is my 3rd week doing it.
 
Since when is it bad to eat a steak?

The medical community who have long since lost the knowledge or nutrition and how the human body works and have long ago traded that knowledge in for a merk manual of drugs.

Gotcha. I love a nice thick flame grilled steak. Fits the macros and helps me grow.

I always feel sorry for those that eat 6 egg whites with 1 or 2 whole eggs... but most lifters' nutrition knowledge is what Muscle and Fitness brainwashes them with.

This x 1000000. We'll said sir!
 
Yup its awesome. I used to do this up to day of show even. Honestly if i drop carbs all together then calories for me are pointless. Last show i only weighed in at just shy of 200lbs and was still eating over 6k a day. Only carbs were night before show to load.


Omg yes. Best breakfast imo.

Eating steak everyday won't negatively affect your cholesterol. Saturated fat isnt the reason why people develop atherosclerosis. Its cause by oxidized LDL particles in the blood usually caused by eating too many simple carbs and vegetable oils. Why no one knows this idk...
 
I been eating a steak a day for over a year and my blood work is fine :) Body likes it to haha.

Even when the oxidized LDL particles exist they generally dont stick to the walls of healthy arteries. They stick to arterial walls where the intum is exposed. This is as designed and the cholesterol acts as a bandage to prevent arterial rupture. The intum is exposed due to chronic vit C, lysine and proline deficiency and without those nutrients and others the arteries can not be fully repaired. When the needed nutrients are introduced in adequate amounts the arteries heal and the cholesterol falls away.

My blood type is opos and according to research I need red meat. But this is just something I read in a food for blood type book.

Im not well versed on blood typing diets.

The whole "cholesterol is bad" was all derived by the fact that cholesterol CAN collect in the arteries and the conclusion was made that cholesterol=bad and also by the inaccurate assumption that cholesterol in food increases cholesterol in the body which it doesnt.

The fact of the matter is cholesterol is a base ingredient for many hormones. Its used by the body to help eliminate toxins and its used as an emergency bandaid for damaged arteries.

The medical community never looked at "WHY" the cholesterol attached to arteries only that it DID and therefor their solution was to LOWER cholesterol with drugs to reduce the collection of it in the arteries.

The fact of the matter however is studies done on quality of life and longevity show that lowered cholesterol levels DO NOT increase lifespan. Look at the world health org data collected. US has the highest rate of heart disease but is far from having the highest cholesterol levels.

At the end of the day the cholesterol collecting in arteries is a SYMPTOM of arterial damage, its not the problem, its a way the body prevents arterial ruptures. The true problem is the arterial damage which is caused by nutritional deficiencies. Address the deficiencies and avoid eating excessive high glycemic carbs and cholesterol wont be an issue

So r u saying as long as someone consumes enough vit c, lysine, and proline than its unlikely for someone to develop atherosclerosis no matter how much simple carbs and oxidized vegetable oils they consume?

Theoretically yes, thats exactly what I am saying.

There are countless first person accounts of people who have done exactly that, often times after heart attacks and are desperate for a solution.


With the above in mind however we all know that things arent always that easy. For starters everyone has a different bowel tolerance for vit C. Some people struggle to take as little as 500mg a day where others can easily consume 20 grams a day with no bowel distress. Most people can reverse atherosclerosis with as little as 6 grams a day of vit c combined with 3-4g of proline and lysine.

Now the amount needed of course will be influenced by personal genetics and diet and someone who eats poorly will likely need more than someone who does not.

There are also some other factors that can play a roll. Lack of vit K can cause calcium to collect in soft tissues including joints and arteries. So a good K supplement would be a good addition as well.

Skeptical? How can such a simple and inexpensive fix not be common knowledge?

The answer is simple....MONEY!

A healthy population does not benefit the medical/insurance community. Heart disease is the nations number 1 killer, its big money!!! Who controls the medical publications? Big pharma! Who is going to fund research into supplementation to cure and prevent common disease? There is no money in it! You cant patent vitamins/minerals and even if big pharma started peddling supps the profit margin in minuscule compared to what they make now. Doctors and hospitals must follow rules in treating patience set forth by the insurance companies, by and large their hands are tied and modern medicine is dictated by those making the profits.

Well thank you for the useful information. Its so fucked up that this shit isnt common knowledge. I hate how corrupt things can be in this world , and i HATE conventional wisdom! Im one of the biggest skeptics i know because ive uncovered a lot of bullshit in my life just by doing research on my own. Its ashame people have to do hours of research now a days
just to uncover the truth.

Yea, its a sad day for sure. I didnt pay much attention to supps/nutrients most of my life until I ran into some health issue the docs just threw meds at. For a good 6 months to a year I spent probably 20 hours a week doing research on the roles the various nutrients played. I have since fired my cardiologist and rid myself of all my problems just by giving my body what it needs. I stumbled onto the whole vit C/lysine/proline thing as a result and while atherosclerosis wasnt one of my issues my research made sense so I adopted the protocol anyway and as a side effect the elbow tendinitis I had been battling for 15 years or more all but went away. Tendons/ligaments/cartilage are largely collagen based just like arteries so it makes sense now that my body has what it needs to keep them in good working order my body can actually keep up with damage caused by heavy lifting week in and week out which for someone who is closing on 50 thats no small feat. I stopped taking the vit C cocktail on a couple different occasion and every time I do my tendinitis comes right back until I start taking it again.

The key to longevity under the bar is making sure your body has what it needs for repair!
 
^^^^^ This guy knows his stuff, i have followed ZYG's supplementation protocols in the past that led to great recovery on tendonitis issues amongst others.
 
re: vit c and lysine. I saw this before but honestly it looked like crackpot science. http://www.paulingtherapy.com/ Will look at it again. Regardless, there are a number of more widely accepted benefits of high vit c supplementation.
 
Ill be the first to admit that sight looks like some "as seen on TV" ad but the science was fairly sound for its day. Whats interesting is what has happened since then, or just as importantly what has not happened.

Google "collagen synthesis" and any established journal article or scientific text book will confirm that vit c, lysine and proline are keys to collagen synthesis. Then when you start to see all the personal accounts from people who have used it and seen via medical testing all of the claimed actions take place you begin to wonder why isnt the medical community looking into this?

If someone can have a 70% arterial blockage and clear it up totally within a year without any harmful side effects why is it being ignored? Why have no significant studies been done? Why doesnt the government or the AHA funding some reasearch. Even simply little 5 people pilot studies? As previously mentioned heart disease is big money, even for the non profits like the AHA.

There are studies out, usually small scale and not 100% correlation but the effects can be seen to overlap.

I never understood this theory as well, there's nothing to support it but just some well worded articles that float around the internet with no actual studies to support it.. Just a lot of theories and myths that look pretty good on paper..... just eat the whole fucking egg and call it a day!

If you're so worried about cholesterol just eat a bowl of Cheerios afterwards it will save your fucking life...lol:roflmao:
 
really depends on your metabolism training and goals. I usually do steak two to three times a week in the offseason.
 
I eat so much chicken I feel like I should be growing feathers out my ass.........
