When I was up and around again, I noticed cellulite had developed between my knees and hips. Once regular workouts began, and now this many years later, the cellulite pretty much still remains on top of the muscles. I am looking fwd. to trying at least one of these products to see if the cellulite diminishes. I am curious what this topical cream does to the skin texture with repeated applications?

Can you explain this? Anne asks: In your Low Carbohydrate Guide for Triathletes book you recommend a low carb lunch, but I assume on days I do weight training just before lunch (2x per week) should I add some healthy starches for lunch? Dino asks: I just wanted to ask about CLA for cutting weight in prep for a half/full marathon. JT asks: can i take greens super food powder stuff, instead of eating veggies? I hate vegetables, and need to get my greens somewhere, this sounded like a good option. In my response to JT I mention: LivingFuel SuperGreens, CapraGreens, and Enerprime. Matthew asks: What's the best method to determine a realistic healthy weight? In my response to Matthew, I reference this ideal body weight calculator. Melanie asks: A friend of mine has started taking some products put out by a company called Zija International. They have some capsules and teas and "energy" powders. These products supposedly promote weight loss and energy. The primary ingredient in most of their products is moringa. I did a bit of research on moringa and supposedly it is a miracle cure for everything. I did not come across any alarming side effects. My friend says she feels more energy with this stuff. Have you heard of this company's products and any knowledge about the "miracles" of moringa in general? Todd asks: I hate running, that's why I swim and box. However, I've recently started playing deck hockey that involves a lot of running. I'm getting more muscle and joint soreness after a hockey game than another activity, and it lasts a full day afterward. Do you recommend any foods, supplements, or stretches to help speed muscle recovery so I'm not so sore the next day? I'm trying not to admit I just turned 48 and am still playing hockey like I'm 16, I just don't recover as quickly. In my response to Todd, I mention Recoverease,  Extreme Endurance (use 20% discount code Greenfield), Capraflex, topical magnesium, compression, ice, and electrostimulation. Valorie asks: I'm a non-competitive runner and have been experiencing nagging piriformis pain and sciatica, which radiates down to the back of my knee, for the past 6 months. I went through a few sessions of PT ultrasound which didn't seem to affect it much, and have been foam rolling and stretching twice a day, and following runs, sitting on ice. The pain affects my running gait at the forward and rear extension of my leg and while sitting in the car, or in my office chair. I struggled to complete a marathon last weekend and am now ready to take some time off to resolve it. Will taking a few weeks off from running, along with the stretching and rolling be my cure, or is there a regimen you can suggest to rid me of this pain in the a** once and for all? Matthew asks: As a graduate student, my lab hour are extremely variable and often involve me waking in the middle of the night for a few hours of work.  When these days happen, I find myself waking with incredible hunger, more so than a normal morning craving.  Do you have any suggestions for curbing this hunger, either the before I go to bed, or when I wake up? In my response to Matthew, I mentioned Master Amino Pattern whole amino acids. Also Tekoi has a call in story about the Marathon Dominator and Ioan calls in about the Triathlon Dominator. Upcoming interviews with David Minkoff, Tom Naughton, the bite scientists and more. -------------------------------------------- Remember, if you have any trouble listening, downloading, or transferring to your mp3 player just e-mail ben@bengreenfieldfitness.com And don't forget to leave the podcast a ranking in iTunes - it only takes 2 minutes of your time and helps grow our healthy community!

First Name Last Name Email Cell # (1+area code) ----------------------------------------------------- Featured Topic: Skinny People Just Don't Get It Dr. Colella, renowned weight loss specialist and one of the only surgeons in the U.S. to do Robotic weight loss surgery, has written a new book titled “Skinny People Just Don’t Get it.” Dr. Joseph James Colella MD practices Gastric Bypass Gastrojejunostomy, Weight Loss Surgery and Bariatric Surgery in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Dr. Colella attended medical school at University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and graduated in 1986 having 25 years’ experience. He also received specialized training at Ohio State University on Laparoscopy, Bariatric Surgery. Dr. Joseph Colella is also a member of the American Society for Bariatric Surgery and is a certified surgeon for Lap-Band Systems. In this interview, I speak with Dr. Colella about his thoughts on the Obesity epidemic in the U.S., how Americans can get fit, why Skinny people are becoming extinct and what his proposed solutions are. Dr. Colella explains why we are always so hungry,  the “inflammatory” scale, strategies to achieve and maintain weight loss goals and how the “carbohydrate cycle” is the final arbiter affecting our perception of hunger, driving our appetite out-of-control. --------------------------------------------------------------- Listener Q&A: Prior to asking your question, PLEASE be considerate and do a search in upper right hand corner of this website for the keywords associated with your question. 90% of the questions we receive have already been asked and answered here at BenGreenfieldFitness.com! ====================================== [contact-form-7 id="6222" title="Ask Ben"]====================================== Craig has a call-in question about how to time topical magnesium and pair with compression shorts. Jeff has a call-in question about absorbing gels through the mouth. Tony asks: I have a question about poop. My poop used to always sink. I followed a diet pretty close to vegetarian. Plenty of Salmon and very rarely I would have red meat. I have changed my diet and follow the Low Carbohydrate Guide For Triathletes (your book) pretty closely now. I have added more Omega 3 fats and animal fats in to my diet. And I must tell you, I love to drink micro brews. Ales, stouts, and porters. Usually after runs and/or workouts, with food. On Sundays I may drink up to 8 beers throughout the day. My poop used to curl and sink to the bottom. Some still do but occasionally there are floaters and my poop is now mostly a cardboard brown color. Floaters are more often than before I switched to eating more fat and less carbs. Is this a problem? In my response to Tony, I mention this GI Panel for finding out what is going on with your digestive tract. I also mention the book "What Is Your Poo Telling You". Andrew asks: If muscle fatigue is likely cause of most cramps then answer is to train to alleviate this. How do you go about that for IM training? Is it, for example, going out for 6 hour bike rides at race pace followed by long run? Or put differently - how best to accomplish this type of training for long distance races? Marc asks: I lost about 85 pounds in the course of two years or so, all through diet and exercise. Almost two years ago I decided to get an abdominoplasty to remove a great deal of loose skin from my stomach. The results were great, and I now feel very confident in the appearance of my upper body and even have the faint outlines of a six pack. But my lower body is a different story. I still have a good deal of loose skin on my butt and thighs, and the accompanying stubborn fat deposits that seem to stick to this loose skin no matter what I do. Also, I have always been more of a pear shape, and thick thighs and "cankles" run in my family. I know I can't spot train those areas, but my question is, should I avoid lower body weight training to avoid filling out my legs even more? In my response to Marc, I mention this episode of Get-Fit Guy on how to get rid of loose skin after weight loss. Kyoko asks: I take one rest day every week. Though you introduce the good information of food, do you have any special meal selection during the rest day? Jan asks: Can you discuss when to use chia seeds before an event - instead of breakfast, with breakfast, during event. I am a little confused about how to get the maximal benefit out of it. Kyle asks: My passion is ultra running, yet I also would like to be able to walk when I am 50 years old and hopefully still be running. Including supplements, types of training, etc, what are your best tips for keeping joints healthy and strong to ensure that we continue doing this endurance sport of ours into the future. In my response to Kyle, I mention Capraflex, cross-training, strengthening the core, hips and glutes, avoiding inflammatory foods (particularly with Holistic Fueling for Ironman Triathletes and Low Carbohydrate Guide For Triathletes), and including rest and recovery phases. Chuck has a call-in question about whether racing is good preparation for a race, vs. doing more training. -------------------------------------------- Remember, if you have any trouble listening, downloading, or transferring to your mp3 player just e-mail ben@bengreenfieldfitness.com And don't forget to leave the podcast a ranking in iTunes - it only takes 2 minutes of your time and helps grow our healthy community!

In my response to David, I mention the Marathon Dominator training program that I helped design, and also a Power Breathing device. Tina asks: I've been told by my doctor that I have some bad hip inflammation, and have been asked to stop doing high impact exercises for a month! Prior to this diagnosis, I've had a dull ache  in my left hip and sometimes when i walk I hear a clicking ,  and a dull pain will sometime shoot up to my neck. I've been told by physio this is just muscle sliding over muscle, ...I've also been told it had to do with my core being unstable, tight lower back, etc. ....I've had xrays done, and its not bone related. ...could it be muscle sliding over muscle? Would stretching help? Ice? Heat? I want to get back to my exercising and don't feel I will get a very good workout doing low impact cardio...any suggestions or ideas? In my response to Tina, I recommend my Bulletproof Knee program for IT Band issues. Sue asks: Truth behind "natural" female bodybuilders? I'd like to make the transition from triathlete to natural bodybuilder - I understand you did the opposite.  What's the real scoop on female contest diets? Can they really get ripped while consuming 1300-1500 calories/day like they claim they do?  Also, most seem to have undergone breast enhancement.  What else are they not telling us? In my response to Sue, I mention this chart on "What Female Figure Competitors Eat To Get Lean". Mandy asks: I have had this scar tissue in my calf for at least 15 years, is it too late to for it to be broken down by massage? John asks: What, if any, is the benefit to consuming wheat germ? Cassie asks: I am 23 years old living in Utah and I really want to become an elite in the Olympic distance. I know to qualify I need to finish within 8% of the winning elite time (on same course as elites) in three USAT sanctioned events that offer an elite/ pro prize purse. I have the ability, and drive, but I don't have an awesome bike, or a lot or money. Should I try to get sponsored? Do I need a coach? Chris asks: I work at a restaurant and am on my feet all day, mostly from 7am-5pm. Since I know my legs and me are going to be extremely tired after work, I have to fit in my half Ironman triathlon training before work usually doing 1-3 hours of intense training (mostly interval based) in one of the disciplines. What should I do to optimize recovery throughout the day since I cannot sit down and rest? In my response to Chris, I mention this topical magnesium. Paul asks: My wife (43) has been suffering from extreme tiredness, despite around 10 months at the gym and keeping to a good diet plan.  Her Doctor has recommended a CardioForLife supplement.  Thought I'd run it past you before giving it a try: http://mycardio4life.postaffiliatepro.com/sites/1722/mycardio4life/ Chris asks: You mentioned in one of your previous podcasts, that soy is inflammatory. Is all soy inflammatory including less processed and "healthy" (at least a lot of people believe so) forms like plain tofu, edamame, soy beans,  and soy milk? How much is too much? In my response to Chris, I play a clip from Garden Variety Tri. Melanie asks: I know of several exercises that are for the low back, but I'd like to know what you think are the top five exercises for strengthening your lower back and preventing low back pain?  I'm not overweight, so I don't have a gut pulling on me and my abs are in okay shape.  I know that makes a difference for your lower back.  I asked for five because I like variety in my workouts. In my response to Melanie, I recommend hip flexor stretching, hip external rotator foam rolling, low back stabilized crunches, deadlift and planking. I also mention my RunWithNoPain book. Joe asks: About a year ago I  decide to challenge myself with something that would require me to focus both on endurance training and weight training. My plan is to bench press 300 pounds and run a marathon in under 4 hours in the same day (I have not done either to date). Is this something you have ever considered or have you heard of anyone doing these sorts of challenges that require two completely different training modes? In my response to Joe, I mention a paper on concurrent strength and endurance training, and recommend he do his training in blocks. -------------------------------------------- Remember, if you have any trouble listening, downloading, or transferring to your mp3 player just e-mail ben@bengreenfieldfitness.com And don't forget to leave the podcast a ranking in iTunes - it only takes 2 minutes of your time and helps grow our healthy community!
