Went out of town to help my sister. She had knee replacement surgery. I stayed a week and my eating was not the best. I thought I'd be around 225 but didn't gain as much as I thought. I did get in few runs while out there.
My wife wants to try paleo for 30 days. That should get me back on track.
I hope everyone is doing great. Keep it going and don't stop!

Gaining 0.6 kg a Week
02 March 2016
I've found some research from last year relating to type 2 diabetes (T2D). It hints at one theory of what the cause is. It appears that visceral fat can accumulate in the pancreas and "clog" the beta cells (those are the ones that release insulin). In losing weight the excess fat in the pancreas is decreased in the persons with T2D. This decrease helps restore normal insulin response.

Losing 0.7 kg a Week
10 February 2016
My weight has been fairly stable ranging between 216-219. It can easily change by 3 lbs overnight, plus or minus. Not really worried about the scale weight since I'm working on a recomp. Body composition is more important.
My wife has started working out with me in the mornings doing the same routine that I am doing. I'm pushing her hard and we are both lifting heavy, relatively speaking. My strength has been going up but the increases are slowing down. Some mornings are rough but I've been getting in 4 good workouts per week.
I see an endocrinologist next week to see what's going on with my energy levels. Too many doctor's visits.
I have been focusing on protein after reading a bunch of studies and commentaries on studies. It appears muscle protein synthesis is controlled by leucine. There is a threshold of 2-4g of leucine needed to activate muscle protein synthesis. Less than 2 and not much occurs, over 4 doesn't increase it any more. The older you are the higher the amount needed to signal the process.
While it appears insulin is a signal on one of the pathways (mTOR) it does not show any more muscle synthesis than protein alone. Insulin does decrease catabolism after exercise though. There may be some benefit to spiking insulin after exercise besides increasing glycogen storage but not in terms of muscle synthesis.
Muscle synthesis is self regulating, the muscles have a "full" signal. Muscle synthesis starts about 30 minutes after the introduction of amino acids (digested proteins) and shuts off 2-4 hours later, probably closer to 2. Eating again does not re-start the process. I have not found what gets the process to reset or how long it takes. Something I'm still searching for an answer on.
I hope everyone has a great week!

Losing 0.5 kg a Week
04 February 2016
This came into my inbox and I thought it was an interesting theory. It's from Dr. Michael Eades who created the Protein Power diet. I've never thought to look at the effects of foods on the electron transport chain.
Will the new Dietary Guidelines make us even fatter?
