Diet affects older men's weight training success

Of course it does. It affects everybody's.

More conflicting data. More they do not know of what they speak. More you should not trust the sick care industry.

"Getting enough protein and moderate amounts of fat from food may help older men's muscles respond better to weight training, a study suggests.

Researchers found that among 45 middle-aged and older men who went through a strength training program, those with more protein in their diets tended to have a greater short-term increase in testosterone levels right after their workouts. This hormonal response, in turn, was related to greater gains in muscle mass over 21 weeks of weight training...

Other studies, the researchers note, have found that high-fiber, low-fat diets may lower men's testosterone levels. However, in this study, men in the counseling groups boosted their fiber and carbohydrate intake and cut their total fat intake without lowering their testosterone concentrations."

The only worthwhile part:

"This does not, however, mean that older men should take protein supplements, Sallinen pointed out. Instead, the study suggests protein from food is enough."

Supplements are a waste of money.
