How to Diet - Lean Bulking, Cutting, Macros, Supplements, Everything Explained.

[jj80]

This series on dieting covers just about everything, and it's by Eric Helms (natural bodybuilder and trainer). He practices what he preaches with pretty decent results, and has a number of clients.

It's basically like a free no-BS ebook that's read to you. The only con? You need a concentration span. I've found it very informative which is why I'm posting it up. I'd go so far as to say it is by FAR the most non-bs presentation of basic information to do with bodybuilding which, if followed, WILL get you results.

He splits dieting into 6 parts and presents it as a pyramid - with each successive part of the pyramid being less critical. E.g., calories (level 1) are more important than nutrient timing (level 4). Time your meals perfectly but eat 8000 calories on a cut and you will set yourself up for failure.

Part 1: Introducing the Pyramid and Calories
Part 2: Macronutrients and Fibre
Part 3: Micronutrients, Vitamins, Minerals and Water
Part 4: Nutrient Timing and Frequency (including intermittent fasting)
Part 5: Supplementation (creatine, beta alanine, all the supplements you see in the shops)
Part 6: Lifestyle and Behaviour

So, here it is:

@admin; if others watch and agree this is as good as I think it is, perhaps a sticky?

I think it would be a good idea to make this a sticky - even if it simply keeps it at the top of the page and opens up some discussions regarding dieting etc. Good post.

P.S hope Max-ot is going well.

Watched the first two so far.. I like it. Goes into just enough detail without getting too bogged down on the fine print.

Eric Helms and the team at 3dmj put out so much free information. Ive seen all of these a little while ago and found them to be very informative. No broscience bullshit.

 

[Kranky]

are they downloadable as a series,or just to be watched on youtube?

 

[jj80]

Try inserting "ss" before any youtube link to download it. There are other ways but I use this one if I want to get a video to use for a presentation or something.
