Eat alot then train hard

I think it is natural to be attracted to research that supports how we do things and I am no exception. So I found this recent post on Clarence Bass website to my liking. It seems like excess calorie consumption is not the problem with health. Rather it is excess calorie retention.

So hail to big eating and training pedal to the metal.

Here's the synopis, enjoy: Leanness reduces cancer

Makes sense. Thanks for the reading assignment.

Not that I was going to change my philosphy, but it sheds a new light on the long held belief.

I would like to of course see the study myself... but in general I trust Clarence.

I was under the opposite impression, that energy expenditure was a key problem, mucho thanks for the article P
Now the next question is bodyweight is all that matters - whther a fat person is equivalent to a equal weight muscular person.

Food and eating rocks!: (So does an active lifestyle)

So this pokes a hole into the low calorie theory, which basically said that lower calories taxed the cells less, as less byproducts from the energy conversion were left, less free radicals, and so less damage to the dna.
This study indicates a hormonal component.
Somehow I feel this is too good to be true

I don't know if it actually pokes a hole in it or gives it a black eye. There is really no question that too many free radicals are bad. However, it was once thought that all fat was bad too and that was not questioned for many years.

It is definitely food for thought though.
