John's 365 lbs Full Squat
It's been over 20 years since I last attempted at this weight. I almost did not complete the squat. If yu just want to see the actual squat and do not care to see how I wrap my knees, skip half of the video. For a lighter weight, knee wrapping is not necessary. In my case, I always wrap my knees when I squat over 300 lbs. Most people use regular weightlifting belt during workouts. I use a powerlifting belt made by Inzer Advanced Designs (www.inzernet.com) called Forever Lever Belt 10mm. It's a single piece of 10mm thick leather belt with 4 rows of stitches. Protecting my lower back while carrying several hundred pounds on my back is prmount. I have lot several belts over the years at the gym, so I got a purple one to avoid confusion with everyone else's black belt. Inzer has over 20 colors to choose from.

Question by Sigmus_Victus: Variable Gut size based on Ingestion of food stuffs.?
I used to be overweight, well, still am but Not as much as I used to be, I used to be 6'4'' and 300+ lbs, I am now 215lbs, and Still attempting to loose weight, but this is not the subject of the question, but rather information, whenever I eat, regardless of how much, or how little, my waist line seems to expand, I notice it because after I eat, my belt and shirt both feel tighter. granted the more I eat the more noticeable the increase is and it normally subsides a few hours later. Is this normal? or perhaps indication that my years of over eating prior to my weight-loss and work out regime have distended my stomach?

Best answer:
Your gut goes into digestion mode - fluids are drawn, the stomach prepares - it's not like food slides down a pipe, there is machinery that gears up to do the processing.
Low carb should never be low fat - I understand you've lost weight with this program, but it's not healthy. If you got up to 300# I would assume that you are insulin resistant & your body no longer processes carbs properly. Exercise will force uptake of glucose, but I would suggest you make low carb your life plan, which needs to include fats preferably saturated fats.
If you eat protein without sufficient fuel calories from fats or carbs, then you convert dietary protein to fuel leaving no protein for cellular needs, forcing the body to catabolize it's own lean tissues. Carbs may be optional, but fuel calories are not but they can come from fat or carbs, but not protein. There are not enough calories in fruits & vegs to fuel the body.
If you don't keep your calories high enough, the body will strip it's own lean tissue for nutrition. Although that may look great on a scale it will make it MUCH easier to accumulate fat in the future (since all that pesky lean tissue burning up calories will be gone).
Protein is a very inefficient fuel to use exclusively for long term & the byproducts of the conversion to fuel can be dangerous if they overwhelm the body faster than the body can clear out the nitrogen & ammonia..
Just for example - Someone asked "what if" about a diet of 500g of pure protein (2000 calories a day)
500g protein with no fat would be fatal. Fat is essential but protein without fat will cause diarrhea & then death. So this next bit is only hypothetically speaking.
500g of protein only would turn the protein into a fuel source and not be able to be used for tissue repairs & cellular regeneration. So although you would think 500g of protein would be sufficient for these needs, it would be converted to a very inefficient fuel source with a dangerous buildup of nitrogen & ammonia (byproducts of gluconeogenesis). The body can handle some of these byproducts but not large quantities for long term. So in essence, all this protein would be processed as fuel and the body would STILL have to catabolize it's own lean tissues for a protein source. 100% of the protein would be needed to convert to 58% glucose - it would be equal to fueling the body with 1160 calories of carbs and NO protein (IF your only ingestion was 2000 calories (500g) in pure protein).
It's confusing to eat SO much protein and have none bioavailable but your body requires FUEL calories (which can come from fat OR carbs or both) AND protein.
BUT if you ate more than sufficient protein with more than sufficient dietary fat calories AND controlled carbs to less than 9grams per hour (Maximum carbs would be 144grams day or 576 calories) the balance of fuel calories would HAVE to be from dietary fats - at 9 calories per gram.
As long as you have <9grams carbs per hour, you will maintain insulin control & shouldn't gain weight, no matter the calories because insulin, the fat storage hormone is not activated. Controlling insulin levels will balance out other hormones & allow sex hormones (testosterone in males) & human growth hormone (HGH) to be produced naturally so lean tissue will be gained even without exercise.
from the article below -
Numerous current studies show that dieters who follow high-protein low-carb strategies--even plans with higher fat intake--lose more fat and maintain or gain more muscle mass than dieters who rely on higher carb diets.
Yes, you read that right--many dieters actually gained muscle mass without working out, simply by eating a high-protein diet. This is due to several factors. First, amino acids from protein drive muscle growth. When you consume a high-protein meal, amino acids from the protein travel to muscle cells and actually initiate the processes that cause muscle growth.
