Cold showers (could, not proven though) upregulate cold shock proteins(they are highly conserved in all cells on this planet) that may(or may not) increase gene pathways that are known to drive gene repair and fat metabolism(as does fasting and exercise). Note, the up regulation of fat metabolism is not to lose fat but to increase mitochondrial density through a process called mitophagy. With mitophagy you may also get pexophagy(recycling of peroxisomes) which is there to help keep ROS(reactive oxygen species) in check so as to mitigate DNA and protein damage. For some people the accumulation of this is called aging, for others it's cancer, alzheimers, blah blah blah--->medicare for all will fix it....Big C said:What are the cold showers for?

I'm not too surprised:I adopted cold showers 5 months ago.Quote:
His regimen: "After I got done playing, I stopped hitting the weights because I didn't have to do that anymore. Now, I do infrared saunas, cold showers every morning, and intermittent fasting. I do a lot more walking and some pool exercises. I used to do visualization before games, but now I'm meditating every day. And the nutrition is always what it's been, very paleo: a lot of vegetables, organic grass-fed meat, and just really clean sources of food. I'm looking for ways to feel good and have a clear mind."

Calories in and out is important for weight loss. But not all calories are created equal - not even close. The blood work of someone that eats a Twinkies only diet at a caloric deficit vs someone that eats mostly plants and animals at a caloric deficit is massively different. Blood markers, mood, do you wake up with morning wood and hormonal levels are much better indicators of health than pure body fat measures. Plenty of "skinny fat people" out there that are pre-diabetic and have T levels that are 10-20 years older than their biological age. Getting great sleep is actually one of the biggest performance and life enhancing things that people can work on. The best podcast on health by far is by Peter Attia - it's called "The Drive" - highly recommend becoming a paid member - the show notes are incredible and actionable

Anecdotes are particularly unhelpful as what works for one can be the exact wrong approach for another.
Losing weight is hard, for some, immensely hard, but it's nothing compared to the ability to keep it off. The "recidivism" rate for weight gain is unlike any other.

Cal is definitely going to the Rose Bowl! Our D will probably not give up another point this year! I wonder what Wilcox has planned for Clemson? Can Weaver win the Heisman?
Seriously, what exactly do you want to hear? Whatever it is start your own thread. Problem solved.
Small correction, the windowed eating person loses more fat.TheSouseFamily said:sycasey said:
Doesn't really matter how you do it, if you don't consume more calories than you burn, you'll maintain your weight.
People are just really bad at calculating those things, if they are trying to do it without some tool.
Actually, it does matter. Some recent research shows that 2 people eating exactly the same food and exactly the same calories will experience different results if one eats all that food in a 6 or 8 hour window versus the other eating throughout the day. The 6 or 8 hour window person loses more weight.
1500 posts on the game thread, plus numerous other threads about the game... most of us read almost all of those, but still don't want to leave the "community" todayNYCGOBEARS said:MathTeacherMike said:

I have zero problems with this thread... if it were on the OT boards. This is a Cal Football Board, to discuss Cal Football. Honestly, it's deflating that this topic is what some of you would come here for.
Just for the record, NYC said this Oak.NYCGOBEARS said:
This thread being on top of Growls is why we are a crap fan base. We beat UW last night when few of only the diehard Cal fans thought we had a chance and this is the rubbish you want to talk about? Y'all suck.

In high school I was 6'3" and weighed 165. I was pretty lean for years after that but age caught up and the amount of food I ate when I was young didn't cut it when I got older. In 2010 I was 59 years old and weighed 305 lbs. when the doctor said I better get some nurtitional advice. After less than a year I was down to 222 Lbs. without using any particular diet but just cutting out certain foods, eating less (especially cutting down considerably on fast food) and peddling on a stationary bike. My cholesterol, etc., numbers improved considerably too. Now, 9 years later, I'm up to 255. I probably eat more than when I was losing the weight but I'm also 68 years old. I go to the gym five days a week, 5 days cardio and 3 days weights and cardio. I haven't lost weight but I tell myself I'm just gaining muscle mass. We'll see. My point is that it isn't always necessary to use some fad diet to lose weight. You just eat less calories than you burn. To maintain a certain weight you need a certain level of caloric intake. If you weigh 300 pounds that's a lot of calories. When I started eating less the pounds flew off. When I got down to 222 the weight loss stopped.
What say the group about the theory that once you gain weight, your body will always try to stay at that weight, thus making long-term weight loss a near miracle? BS or no?drizzlybears brother said:

Actually, JW is practicing an extreme form of intermittent fasting known as permanent fasting. Forced turnovers and negative plays alone are enough to sustain him.510 Bear said:
For the record, I heard from a reliable source (Boston Market) that not only is JW intermittent fasting, he's spending every free minute training intensely in the deadly martial art of Krav Maga.
By this time next year, anyone who dares mess with our coach will be dealt with in a brutally efficient manner.
It's been demonstrated that while fasting, you're fooling your body into thinking that it is entering a starvation period(note, not eating for 16-20 hours is not starving). A whole host of BDNF's(brain derived neutrotophic factors) is produced to increase neural plasticity and heighten cognition abilities. (You know, so you and your fellow primates can figure out how to find food) This is why all the major religions have promoted it since the history of man. Allows you to see the light. But if that light that one sees permits you to out think your coaching peers, why not?Bearonthebench said:Actually, JW is practicing an extreme form of intermittent fasting known as permanent fasting.

About 15 if I'm lucky. I'm middle aged. But then we have a drink afterwards and end up 400 calories in the deficit. Screw this thread.
