I remember you did a video on Kevin weiss (the guy with calves from greek gods) and talked about how he ate 10,000 calories on a diet, I've researched a bit on refeeds, that's considered a refeed correct? Does it need to be that high in calories?

Because from what I read usually just eat an extra 500 on top of what you're actually eating

So if I'm like 15% BF what kind of diet should I be doing to lose fat effectively?and what exactly is bio feedback to look for?

@y8h9i20j We are talking specifically about being in Supercompensation and The Cycle Diet - you should get "The Science Behind the Cycle Diet" video lecture avaialbe on my website

Great video, really should help those who are working toward a contest. However, the 24 hour clock...it's "man made"....but also the amount of time the earth takes to complete one revolution and then reface the sun...it's an astronomy term called a solar day. So it's not just total nonsense...haha

[scottabelcoaching]

@LTMagic21 Yes., of course, LOL - I was referring to interpreting a solar day as somehow metabolically relevant and that is only partially true

[DrSteveRogers]

Coach - what are the biofeedback metrics that you use to make adjustments to someone's diet?

Kevin's face expression on the mentioning of "singles cruise" was priceless. Very informative video as always.

I've done four show preps with you, Scott, and every time was different based on how my body was/wasn't responding to the protocols. It's pretty fascinating stuff, actually. There's NO formula for this that can be applied across the board; it has to be individualized. What WAS the same? Well, the foods that made up the diet were basicially the same, I did minimal to no steady-state cardio, I dialed in exactly as I wanted to, every time.

@arevalofitness Yes, true. I seldom use "calories" anymore when designing diets. but you have to really understand metabolism for that. I also wrote on article on the "Calories Myth" you can find over on my Blog. But more or less, yes, that is correct - but for neophytes sometimes counting cals can still serve a purpose, at first

[LTMagic21]

@scottabelcoaching hahaha okay good. i was worried for a second that you meant that someone just randomly decided how long days would be....but yeah very true in that regard.

this is the type of videos that should be on tv

most of people think a "diet" is a short period of time when they have to remain starving to lose the weight they gained in the last 10 - 20 years..
