And I especially enjoyed all the talk about clothing and clothing sizes. I've been buying Al's clothing since his cutdown and he is shocked at the sizes and at first kept asking if it was women's! I think if left to his own devices, he'd still be in the L and XLs but I keep finding and clearing those right out! GREAT interview.

I've seen some questions in the past regarding both cardio and sports performance. I just finished month 2 on the main program and did the 12 week base foundation. For several months before I started the program, I played basketball 2 to 3 times a week for an hour and a half to two hours each session. I continued with my basketball routine during AI. Even with all the cardio, my AI went from 1.21 to 1.36. (46/38 to 49/36 with ideal 51/32. Probably would be a lot higher with an improved diet.) As for sports performance, AI def has improved my performance in basketball, especially on the defensive end. I am faster, quicker, stronger and jump higher. This has led to more rebounds, blocks and steals. In several months of playing basketball and lifting without the Adonis Effect, I saw little improvement in my game. In the months since I started the Adonis Effect, I improved immensely. Thanks, Seif-Eldeine How’s it going, John?

How should I go about nutrition? I Want to gain as much muscle as I can so I can close in on my AI I need to add 6inches in circumference to my chest and shoulders and reduce my waist by about 2 inches. 2.) Can I gain just as much muscle if I use eat stop eat so I can reduce my waist while building muscle? 3.)How should I split the Adonis workouts some have 5 workouts and some have 4 but should I be doing tthem in a row? Or should I do 3 days on 1 off then 2 on and 1 off? Or how should I split it or should I even split it?

It's all about the Adonis Index, the ratio of your shoulders to your waist. It will be different for each person depending on their height. So let's say 2 guys that are 5'10" are being judged against each other and the ideal shoulder measurement for a guy that's 5'10" is 50" and the ideal waist is 31". The one which is closest to their ideal Adonis Index (those measurements I just just said) will win. Lynn, it is a transformation contest, however, it’s not just about losing fat.

I often wonder about people who say they find it easy to eat the 'right food' and the struggles they actually face. Even though it may be the opposite end of the spectrum, we hear about people who looked like they were healthy but really had some sort of eating disorder that was ruling their lives - you can bet they lied about what they ate and how much on a daily basis. I do think we are heading towards an era of being more accepting of our bodies and more aware of portion control instead of 'good' or 'bad' food. This may help with the lying...but probably not. Saying what we think others want to hear, to keep our ego in tact, has been around since before time. Good article.

The part on sleep was definitely a eye opener for me! You mention supplements to assist with sleep, yet you don't give any recommendations? Are there any specific products/ingredients you'd recommend for someone who has trouble going to sleep? I've listened to enough of your stuff not to rely on a generic google search to find the answer to this question. However, I trust your recommendations ;) Thanks in advance!

]]> Comment on Long Term Adaptations To Weight Loss – Oct 2011 New Research by Anoop http://www.adonisindex.com/long-term-adaptations-to-weight-loss-oct-2011-new-research/#comment-11651 Anoop Sat, 10 Dec 2011 04:41:32 +0000 http://www.adonisindex.com/?p=2475#comment-11651 I think it is pretty clear that almost 90-95% of the people gain most of the lost weight back after a few years. It is pretty clear in research. The study just confirmed the biological basis of obesity. There is no bias in the study. The study hypothesis was to see if these appetite related hormones persist after 1 yr of weight maintenance, and it did. There is no reason for the author to talk about the 'positives' of the study or how the decreased IR and how they maintained a bit of weight. That wasn't the purpose of the study. NEJM is the top medical journal in the world and their peer review is the most stringent. The rejection rate of the journal is 95% ( 5000 submissions per year)! They know very well when they see a bias or a poor paper. I think it is pretty clear that almost 90-95% of the people gain most of the lost weight back after a few years.
