Good to hear Eric! Would be great to get the full Comprehensive Programme done through you if possible.

Great info there Eric,
i remember when you originally posted this on EliteFTS (would be great if you could re-post some of your other golden nuggets of info from there on here), and it really changed the way i thought about peri-workout nutrition. I knew from my previous experiences with DiPasquales Anabolic Diet that i did not need many carbs for powerlifting workouts, and actually did better with a small piece of fruit, whey protein powder and coconut oil. This article confirms the fact that those 'anabolic' foods are well suited for aneorobic powerlifting training. However, after reading this info it also helped me to re-evaluate what i eat in terms of proper food before and after training. I now eat a pear and some unpasteurised gruyere before training, and spinach, more unpasteurised gruyere, with mushrooms and sweet potato slices fired in butter after training. This has worked very well for me.
I have a few questions in response to this article:
- You mention urine pH, saliva pH, specific gravity and urine surface tension monitoring for more detailed analysis of aerobic/anaerobic shifts. At what point would you normally recommend an athlete get this done? Would this also cover electrolyte balance? This is something i am interested in.
- Would it be correct to say that for those that want to gain healthy weight, generally focussing on anabolic foods for their type would work, and conversely for those wanting to shed fat should focus more on catabolic foods for their type? Anecdotally, i've found since increasing my consumption of more anabolic foods i've managed to gain muscle better than when i was eating predominantly catabolic foods.
- I've been looking at the CataPlus and Liqui G products, and i see that the ingredients are basically many of the anabolic substances that Dr Revici found in his research on lipo-oxidative influcences in cellular metabolism. However, for someone who already consumes sea vegetables and sea salt (which contains iodine), would the additional iodine in the Liqui G be too much?

Slightly off at a tangent, but relevant to something you mentioned here Eric about dubious foods oin FoodPhramacy, is that I recently emailed FoodPharmacy support about a food which was recommended for me by the software, and that is a sea vegetable called hijiki. I said to them that i thought this food item should absolutely not appear on the recommended list for anyone, because numerous studies of the toxic metal content of sea vegetables shows hijiki to have many times over the acceptable intake levels of inorganic arsenic (the most toxic form). In fact, there are quite a few cases of people getting sick after regularly consuming hijiki. Rob-I know that David has been away to a few seminars here as of late, so I am not sure if he is back in Montana yet or not. If you do not hear from him then perhaps re-write him and tell him that you are one of my clients. Perhaps that will help... If not, then Iet me know and I will contact David and try to get an answer for you. Hi Eric, heres the response i got from David: "Robert,
Our software was not used for the food list you received. We do not include hijiki in our reports.
However, the food list from your advisor was provided by Healthexcel who has permission to use our report format.
I have forwarded your email on to Bill Wolcott who owns Healthexcel. Thank you.
David Vaughan

Yes, its a bit fiddly to prepare, but it tastes quite nutty. I think the best way to cook it is to pop it like popcorn (after you have soaked it overnight), because if you boil it, it turns to a kind of glue-ey starchy goop

I was reading up on hair mineral analysis, and it seems a bit 'flakey'. There are lots of things that can affect it, like the shampoo you use, the water you wash your hair in, smog in the air, etc. I've also read of people trying out the validity by sending hair samples taken at exactly the same time to different labs, and getting drastically different results. Therefore, i was looking around at other mineral testing methods, and i came across liquid mineral taste tests. Basically, you put a liquid solution of a mineral in your mouth, and if you can taste it, you dont need it, if you cant, you do. An example: www.mineraltestkit.co.uk/products.asp I know for zinc at least, this test has been done clinically for a long time now with good reliability. The added bonus is that the liquid solutions actually provide highly bioavailable forms of the minerals, so if you cant taste a mineral when you test for it, you can just swallow the solution and you are already going some way to correct the deficiency. I was wondering what Eric's thought on this were?

This grain food is suggested on my MT Food List, and also appears in an example meal in my MT information pack in the form of 'baked triticale'. If it is a grain, i would have thought you need to boil it, not bake it.
I have never heard of, or seen 'triticale', in the UK. Has anyone tried it? Whats it like?

Does that work with equipment? The recent total would be an equipped total. In an equipped prep cycle, some of the work is raw, and some is equipped. Would be great to get a programme that incorporates both raw and equipped training, as i've never really figured out how to cycle the use of suits, wraps, etc.

I finished Daves 13 week program but due to illness i didnt really get what i wanted out of it . My deadlift esp. has dropped off alot. I'm going to run Daves 13 week programme again, but i was wondering if theres a good cycle after that which would help focus on my deadlift.

Great stuff. Thanks for clearing that up Eric!
I've been reading the Nutri-Spec newsletters recently and some of the results Schenker's clients have gotten are remarkable. There is a Nutri-Spec practitioner not too far from me who is going to give me some info on how he works and his costs, but TBH i would rather stick with the HealthExcel system because it has a broader scope, and also a good working relationship with you as my advisor Eric.
On the HealthExcel site, wheni try and go to details on the Comprehensive programe, it fails to load the page. I presume it is being updated or something, perhaps in light of the new FHC's ...?
I am thinking of getting the Comprehensive test done next in a few months, as i would like to know about how more of the other FHC's relate to me. Can you give me any info on how i can do this Eric? Of course, i'd rather have you do it, but you're in the US, and i'm in the UK (South London)!
