Dear Mr. Hart,
My question is regarding those energy bars that are supposed to help you through a workout. The guy at the gym I go to says that they are perfect for bodybuilders as they contain ALL that is needed for a workout. He also tells me that the sugar in these bars is not the same sugar as that which make you fat – is he right?
I figure that what he tells me is a bit suspect as at £2.50 per bar, I would think that he would say that. Love the mag – keep up the good work.

Dear Mr. Walker,
You have answered it yourself mate – of course he would say that; at that price he would!
The sugar in those bars is sugar – plain and simple. Whether it is white or brown, it is sugar and if you take to much, you will get fat I can guarantee that.
I agree that they will help you get through a workout but they are only as good as say a bagel! I know the convenience is there but don’t be fooled. Researchers at a state university in the States did some research on bars like these and found that you can get exactly the same amount of energy from a bagel as from an energy bar.
There was no difference in the tests. Personally, some of the shit that I have tasted over the years is just that – shit! Cardboard would be a good description to be honest. No disrespect to you mate, but some people can be fooled so bad that if an advert said that having a wank with a sticky glove dipped in broken glass would work – there would be a helluva lot of bloody nobs around, I think that you would agree. I would say, take some pasta and egg in a plastic container for before and after training, or even better, baked potatoes cold are a great source of carbs!
God Bless You!

hi Mick,
can you advised me on getting my waist down?I was doing fine until one day i noticed my abs are all covered up.Please can you advise.
Hi Mick, just interested on your thoughts about post workout nutrition. I usually have a protein shake after a workout then a meal about an hour later, try to eat alot of carbs and protein rice, chicken etc.
You advised Mr Walker to have jacket potatoe or pasta with egg after training, is that the best way to start recovery. I always thought that eating food took too long too break down when your muscles need the protein straight away post workout i.e a protein shake is absorbed alot quicker.
Interested to hear your thoughts, nice post again.
Hi Mick
I know that you are a very busy man these days, but was just wondering if you could be so kind as to provide me with some great high nutritional meals to compliment my weight sessions, as i need to get inspired by someone like you to change over my meals as i am getting abit board of eating the same things over and over again, like chicken pasta, chicken noodles, etc.
By the way, i think you are doing a great job as far as setting things right and making the effort to educate trainees wanting to get ‘huge’. YOu are not being ‘irresponsible’ as some nob fucks call you, rather, you are educating those that are intent on juicing up with or without your advice. Just a medical practitioners can only ‘advise’ a patient on what route they want to take with their treatment of cancer – the doc knows their patient will use a course of treatment, so the doctor gives advise on which treatments are available and which one will suit their patient.
