Conor's nutritionist, George Lockhart

[I see stiffness]

And you couldn't learn those while working in the field at all? You cannot learn those subjects to a high level without going to university?
That is all I mean I don't see how every field is so advanced you have to go to university to learn it. It isn't that it isn't high skill but it isn't unthinkable you cannot learn the major things on the job.
Research however would require better trained individuals and would need more than learning the main concepts and filling in the details with skill development.

University is both. You get the foundation and you have to go out in the field as part of your degree (I can't speak for others but I had to put in a lot of hours in a hospital working with cancer and diabetes patients, not just person X wanting a diet plan written up). Sure people can learn in the field but there is no knowledge base behind them.

Because you are being taught by highly qualified academics (well at good schools you are). It's not like a university you just read books. You are learning how to use software, you are learning to develop interview techniques which are practiced over and over again in the field.

I get what you are saying, but there needs to be a mix of both. Stray too far to one side and it's a recipe for disaster.

On UFC 202 Embedded, Episode 1, Conor's nutritionist says this...

"Right now, we'll probably cut back on the carbs a little bit..it's not that he's cutting weight, but actually carb loading...it kinda tricks the body into being more efficient with the glycogen storages...so, give him a high fat diet, make sure that he's feeling good this last week."

Huh? Cutting back on carbs, but actually carb loading?!?
...if I had a dime for every time I heard, "it tricks the body"

Barbecue honey chicken with slices of avocado...sounds like Conor is doing a shit load of cardio, but trying to maintain his 170 weight. George tells Conor he's glad he's hungry again. I wonder how often he's eating?

You can dial back the carbs and still be carb loading. If you're taking in 400 carbs a day and bring it back to 380, you're still in the "loading" range. I don't know the science behind this method to help make your body more efficient with glycogen, but he also knows way more than probably all of us. Logically, though, the act of cutting carbs and carb loading are not mutually exclusive.

EDIT: Actually, I have experienced this many times when working my way to ketosis. If you slowly taper off the carbohydrates after a 350carb+ bulking cycle, you'll never feel the crash (when dropping 10% a week in my personal experience). It is verified that the body does have ways of converting fat to glycogen, which is why people who stay on ketosis diets continue to be shredded and still see gains.

Worth pointing out though, Sherbros didn't give a fuuuuck about a nutritionist until Brolce came along with his bullshit.

 

[Team Sleep]

Lockhart knows way more than us random sherbros. He's the best in the game.

Yea he is legit. He's no Dolce. Best in the business.

Unless your making this up for the sake of argument, why would you cut back just 20 (grams?) of carbs...which is less than what a banana has

Everything Conor does is wrong, according to forums.

Boxing = terrible
BJJ = non existent
TDD = none
Kicking = just for show
Style = stolen
Tattoos = awful
Upbringing = privileged
UFC run = protected
PPV buys = unimpressive
Coach = Edmund
SBG = overrated
Nutritionist = unnecessary
Dee = gold digger
Pre-Diaz = handpicked
Post-Diaz = ducking, somehow...

You have finally gotten it.

 

[TheBulletwithWings]

yeah were they survive on MRE's you ever eaten that shit?

My brother was in rather marines and had a few. I tried one. Not bad, dehydrated food.

That's because the game is evolving. You don't roll in after a few beers and start swinging. The game has changed and the fighters are professionals in every aspect.

A good thing in my opinion. Makes people respect MMA more.

Nutritionist is actually a job title for scammers.

A nutritionist is a non-accredited title that may apply to somebody who has done a short course in nutrition or who has given themselves this title. The term Nutritionist is not protected by law in almost all countries so people with different levels of and knowledge can call themselves a “Nutritionist”.

If you want some legit help then you should be hiring dietitian

A dietitian is a health professional who has university qualifications consisting of a 4-year Bachelor Degree in Nutrition and Dietetics or a 3-year Science Degree followed by a Master Degree in Nutrition and Dietetics, including a certain period of practical training in different hospital and community settings (in the U.S. 1200 hours of supervised practice are required in different areas). Some dietitians also further their knowledge and skills by pursuing various Specialist Dietetic qualifications. Dietitian is an expert in prescribing therapeutic nutrition.

This is correct

 

[TheBulletwithWings]

It's 'dietitian'.

Secondly, I think you are confused about what a dietitian is. Is a hell of a lot more than just eat this and not that. You go to university and learn a number of other units (physiology, human biology, organic chemistry). A number of dietitians go into research (myself included) and carry more knowledge in their little finger than nutritionists.

Fingers carry knowledge?

 

[I see stiffness]

Fingers carry knowledge?

When your brain is as full as mine is you need to find other spots for it.

 

[Munin]

Because I don't think dietician or nutritionist isn't a super high skill level job that couldn't be done by just about anyone with a working brain and workplace training means I am a dolce alt lel.

Mastering bio Chem and Organic Chem, physics of motor functions, analytics, all make an RD a highly specialized and difficult to obtain for the average.

 

[LiveFreeorDie]

Lockhart knows way more than us random sherbros. He's the best in the game.

No lol. Brolce = scam, he's not an actual nutritionist. Lockhart learned his trade in the military fueling America's finest. That's the guy I want in charge of my food before a fight.

It's not even close. The man got Florian to 145 and he went 5 rounds with Aldo without gassing out.

Lol no, he's not. He's an actual nutritionist unlike a guy like Brolce. He is the most respected in all of MMA by a long shot.

USMC. All I got to say. Fighters like GSP, Conor, Florian, Poirier, Rory, Stephens, and many other top level fighters. It isn't even debatable that he is the best in this sport. Especially when it comes to managing caloric intake and weight cutting.

Calling him a touch butt dork or anything is quite a disservice.

I realize that. That doesn't mean Lockhart isn't legit. Results speak for themselves. He's the best guy doing this thing in this sport, period.

Lockhart? Is that you bro?

Agreed a mix of both would be ideal. It is just like how many IT professionals usually use google or are self taught programmers then have to go to school for 2-4 years to get a job it is a joke.
Add to that theere are people that do well in school then fail as soon as they are out of uni and then there are people who are the opposite and it becomes even more laughable.

There are many fields that you can attain a high skill outside of school but others where a internship can get you to a low level of skill where you can then go to school and specialise in a 4 year course.
I agree though that if it is dangerous for the person on the receiving end of knowledge it requires higher learning. Ie Diabetes patients and space station construction.
And you do need a control on who gets to provide people with certain things because they are dangerous.

No, i have never met a "nutritionist" who grasped o Chem, bio Chem, physics of motor functions, analytics, MAO cycle, Krebs cycle, beta ox, and the litany of hormones and thier counterparts.

I jsut fucking disagree with you have to go to university to learn shit that is freely available to learn. I do not mean to defend charlatans.

It happens all the time. I tell people to go out and get experience while you are doing your undergrad degree. I get research assistants and summer/winter interns helping me and they can't remember how to dilute or use a pipette properly. Basic techniques, but they forget because they haven't been in a lab time and time again. If that happens they are kicked out and made to answer phone calls or crunch numbers/data entry

There are things one cannot learn without lab and reconstruction of a lesson in manipulating cellular substrates to replicate protein synthesis, or inadequate ffa break down into ketones. Vague understanding of theory is one thing, replication and lab work /research for publication is another.
