Nick, I am assuming that in addition to needing to eat more to supply more sugar to your muscles, the increased levels of protein synthesis in bigger muscles will also increase the appetite as well since you need more substrate to create the new contractile proteins.
I also think that the biggest stimulus for appetite is mental in nature. When alot of us start lifting, basically we know if we eat more, well get stronger and bigger, which is basically true. These type of thoughts are a powerful appetite stimulant.
eating more > protein synthesis

Re: yep
Exactly! And the body's craving for more food is increased.kylecortez wrote:Nick, I am assuming that in addition to needing to eat more to supply more sugar to your muscles, the increased levels of protein synthesis in bigger muscles will also increase the appetite as well since you need more substrate to create the new contractile proteins.
True, but lets say I wasn't working out and I was cutting down a tree or building a house, then my energy needs would go up without me consciously thinking that I need more. Your body gets stronger becuase of the work and the need for more energy is natural thing that happens.I also think that the biggest stimulus for appetite is mental in nature.

With lifting, we know what we want and what we need to do. Eating more food will happen naturally, but the mentality of eating more to gain mass is definitely emphasized. But, eating more food, you'll put on more fat as well, due to bigger meals.
I guess with the Wai diet, since you'll always be sipping some juice or eating some fruit, you'll keep your sugar-level stable throughout the workout. So after the workout you won't eat a big meal compared to a normal diet.

diabetes
Nick. Diabetes and obesity run in my family. When I start lifting, i can very well risk becoming a diabetic from overfeeding on carbohydrates. And like I said, mentally, we tend to eat more if we are gaining. Me thinks I should stay away from it and keep tight regulation of my food intake so I don't risk becoming a diabetic. I've been getting the hypoglycemia headaches/shakes alot latley, so i need to start cutting back a little.
