Comments on: The Fundamentals of Fat Loss Diets Part 2 http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/fat-loss/the-fundamentals-of-fat-loss-diets-part-2.html Training and Nutrition advice, straight from the monkey's mouth.

I had been following your advice RE: diet set up, and then had blood work done and they found elevated liver enzymes (AST & ALT) and thought I had liver damage or hepatitis. The only warning signs My doctor came up with were high protein intake, intense exercise, and past alcoholism. I stopped the high protein diet, and didn't exercise the day of the next tests. Levels are back to normal, ultrasound shows no liver damage (whew!). I'm now scared of high protein, but worry that my intense training requires it. Any thoughts, or experiences? On a related note: My hometown (Kitchener, Ontario, Canada) just lost a all star Hockey player who died due to liver problems stemming from a high protein diet and a LACK of a liver enzyme. http://news.therecord.com/article/786197 Lyle,

I see people buying huge tubs of that stuff and basically drink it like its water, it can get expensive. I'm with Kyle, would love a part three with a sample menu, good idea. Thanks for the read!

Refeeds essentially exist 'outside' of the specific diet. Because regardless of the size of the deficit or nature of the diet (high vs. low carb), you still see the same adaptations in terms of leptin, metabolic rate, etc, etc. So they still play a role.

I've recorded a caloric burn of 3000 calories(4000 total) just but pacing up and down a carnival store within 30 meters apart from each other just to check. As long as he has a sizable deficit, with ample protein intake - he can have abit more carbs compared to a total sedentary person Arthur – Walking around all day is a very tedious physical activity.

For example, I have a brother who works in a hospital, and all day long he is walking all around the building for a decent chunk of his 8 hours there, but while the volume of walking is high, the effort is anything but taxing. In a situation like that, would consuming fat around the sample level you gave here or higher and relatively fewer carbohydrates be appropriate? Also, I wanted to say thank you for your consistent effort in churning out quality content here. I very much enjoy stopping by to read your articles and am grateful to you for sharing your talent.
