HYPOTHESES ABOUT NUTRITION THAT MAKE FITNESS LESS SATISFYING
According to a British study, a new pastime has an average shelf life of 16 months. Most human beings surrender their newfound passions after 12 months, whether they include famous hobbies like pictures or cycling or lesser-recognized sports like competitive canine grooming or Hikaru dorodango.
And even though I'm not familiar with any studies that specifically looked at how long it takes for people to stop lifting, I'm guessing it's not much longer than it is for other "hobbies."But let's assume for the sake of charitableness that most people continue doing weights for five years. That's probably how long it takes for the enthusiasm to fade and the frustration to set in for lots of weak-willed souls after buying into any variety of falsehoods and making little to no development.
Perhaps the absurd dietary restrictions proved too hard to bear for some people. If given the choice between the myth-diet followers and powdered milk, a third-world immigrant would choose the latter.
Therefore, they hang it. A new "generation" of lifters takes their place, one that is just as uneducated and susceptible to embracing the persistent beliefs about vampires. It's for this reason that I feel forced to publish new articles on the "top nutritional fallacies" on occasion. By doing so, I hope to boost the likelihood that the next generation will find lifting and body recomposition to be more enjoyable and stick with it for longer than they otherwise would.

Here are some absurdities I've recently read or heard about
. Myth 1: Consuming whole milk is unhealthy
You don't necessarily start coughing up phlegm balls after drinking milk like some Deadpool-Esque supervillain. Research has established it. They administered either cow's milk or soymilk to 125 participants while covering it up with chocolate mint flavor. Despite claims to the contrary, neither beverage had any effect on a postnasal drip, coughing, or sinus congestion. The tongues of both groups claimed to have the sensation of having licked a banana slug.
Regarding the purported connection between dairy and cancer, you can thank the famed and tiresome China Study. It implied that dairy products, in particular the milk protein casein, are cancer-causing. In addition to cherry-picking their findings, the authors' claim that casein, a significant component of human breast milk and the milk of the majority of mammals, causes cancer is puzzling.
Man, just when you think you understand someone—in this case, your mother—bam! She suddenly pulls out a poisoned breast.
And why, in all seriousness, would Mother Nature do such a grave error? Simply put, she didn't.
Another issue is that milk has high levels of growth hormones. People worry that if they consume large amounts of GH-contaminated milk, their heads will balloon up like Barry Bonds' and begin to orbit other smaller heads.
Not at all. An enormous protein with 191 amino acids makes up growth hormone. What happens when you consume proteins, then? They are broken down into tiny peptides or individual amino acids, which would no more make you grow a huge head than a portion of chicken McNuggets would.
So in conclusion Drink milk if you enjoy it.

Myth 2: Avoid eating before bedtime
While some studies suggest that eating at night makes you a chunk, other studies are less certain. Of course, it's important to balance eating a piece of leftover chicken with "hedonic hyperphagia," the term used by nutritionists to describe eating for pleasure when you're not hungry, such as guzzling a tub of Ben and Jerry's while binge-watching "Young Sheldon."
But disregard hedonistic hyperphagia. A protein bolus before the night is something aspiring meatheads should always do because a ton of research shows that it greatly boosts muscle protein synthesis (MPS) without increasing fat.
Myth 3: Egg yolks are extremely unhealthy.
A big egg typically contains 187 mg of cholesterol, which is a lot considering that medical experts advise keeping your daily intake to 300 mg or fewer.
It has always been considered that because eggs are so high in cholesterol, they add a lot of that cholesterol to your blood, but the research hasn't always supported this. While some studies have indicated that eggs can raise blood pressure, many others have demonstrated that eating eggs has no impact whatsoever on cholesterol levels. Eat just one egg per day. Consume two eggs per day and zip. According to certain research, eggs are mostly innocuous when it comes to blocking your pipes, even if you consume four of them every day.
A recent study's authors (Kim, et al. 2018,) hypothesize that they understand the reason. They contend that the body does not effectively absorb the cholesterol found in eggs. They claim that the phospholipids phosphatidylcholine and sphingomyelin, which are contained in egg yolks, affect intestinal lipid metabolism and lessen the lymphatic absorption of cholesterol. The actual egg white comes next. Preventing cholesterol's micellar solubility in the colon also seems to reduce the absorption of the substance.
If these beliefs are confirmed, it appears that nature has provided eggs with a built-in failsafe mechanism to safeguard humans who consume them. Therefore, gobble 'em up until we hear something substantial that implies otherwise.
