I can honestly Spike, that when I was growing up I ate what was available, and that wasn't too much. Problem is that my diet as a kid consisted of mainly carbs and fat cause it was the cheapest stuff for mom and dad to put on the table. Why is that important to note? Because research has already proven that the number of fat cells that we have as adults develop when we are children. Except for those who get liposuction or some similar surgery, the adult body will always have those cells in it. The sleight of hand however, is that these cells shrink and expand based on diet, exercise, hydration, and overall body chemistry.

I'm sure that I did my fair share of grazing as I got older, but as a kid it wasn't possible. I would actually suggest that the whole grazing concept could be - applied more to generation Y than X. One more thing: there are a group of scientists currently working on a theory that certain environmental factors, more specifically, specific types of allergens theorized to be obesogens, may be partially responsible for the obesity factor in this country. Now, (lol) I actually believe that people simply need to put down remote or game controller, watch what they eat, and be active - but there is some indirect evidence that supports the idea that these obesogens could be responsible. For instance; I avoid high-fructose corn syrup whenever possible, MSG, and I try my best to avoid cooking in or eating from plastic containers. Why? The obesity problem in this country might be directly tied to the introduction of this corn syrup, based on the speculatory evidence that since it has become widely used as a sweatner, people have become more obese. MSG, alot of people are allergic to it and it does have the effect of bloating people - just to name one symptom.

Plastic? Technically, Generation X is the first generation that has been raised on large amounts of plastics. We have drank from it, eaten from it, and have worn it from birth. It has been my own theory from childhood (believe it or not) that plastic can't be good for the human body. Water tastes different to me when it is plumbed through plastic pipe, or drunk from a plastic cup. Styrofoam cups can't be good either, makes coffe taste like shit. so based on taste alone, I speculate that there has to be some sort of chemical leaching out of it and it can't be good. I mean plastic is made from hydrocarbons and we all know that these same hydrocarbons cause cancer, even if they arn't burnt as fuel. Just a theory, and one that is currently being tested, but I believe it. I mean, we might just find out that plastics are a partial cause for weight gain simply because it disrupts the natural chemical ballance in the human body.

Natural steroids - there are many and the majority are obtained from plant sources. Example: Spinach contains ecdysterone, which oddly enough acts as a natural pesticide. But in the human body, this phytochemical elevates natural testosterone levels when taken in the proper dosage. Now, it won't turn Harry Potter into a world champion, but he might just have the tenacity to wave his wand around a bit more. There are many of these natural steroids available in suppliment form, but be warned two things: 1. there are some bad suppliment companies out there promising people the world and delievering nothing more than lighter wallets. 2. Any attempts to raise natural testosterone levels in the human body is eventually met with the human body increasing its production of counter chemicals or increasing its ability to to neutralize them. Mind you, my terms arn't exact but what I'm saying is. This is to say that when testosterone rises, the body will produce more estrogen to keep a specific body chemistry in ballance. Bad news, more estrogen means more cortisol, which is the chemical responsible for breaking muscle down. Plus, more estrogen in a male body (if high enough) equals man boobs, baldness, achne, and going from base to soprano - if you catch my meaning. So technically, in order to counter these effects a person would have to either suppliment with anti estrogen or anti-aromatase suppliments/drugs to get any positive from taking them. This is why body builders take so many suppliments or drugs, cause if they didn't, they would eventually develop some pretty serious problems in the long run. This of course is in terms of major testosterone boosters. Honestly, spinach or it's chemical extracts won't cause your nuts to shrink, but it won't make you huge. I would expect the natural steroids in your meds to behave the same way - don't expect too much. On the other hand, medical grade steroids such as Symbicort, Prednisone, and Singulair (for asthma) and drugs like paxil, amitryptolime, xanax, and prozac - which alter brain chemicals will make you gain weight fairly quickly. Due to the nature of what these drugs treat, I doubt any serious study has been conducted on whether they promote muscle mass in a person who is on the right diet and hitting the weights. To be honest, I'd actually expect one of these drugs to have more of an impact on body composition than any natural steroid.
