@Kahmal - the thing is, everything "isn't much" when looked at individually. 250 armor on a cloak when you already have 35000 armor? It's fractional damage reduction. 20 parry? Same thing.
You add all those pieces together and then it makes it worth while.
Personally, unless the need for stamina was overwhelming, I would go Red=parry/mastery rather than parry/sta, but it depends on what content you're into in the game.

I have tried running low Hit and Expertise and upping my mastery/avoidance. I noticed the difference instantly. I could see it clearly...missing devastates and shield slams. Yeah I could still tank well, but not as well as I could before. I was at the mercy of the RNG and when I was unlucky it was annoying and people took more damage.
To add to that, DPS is now more important than ever because everything has so much more HP. Yes we do more damage too, but the health increase of everything went up more than our damage increase. I love pulling 10k+ DPS as the Tank. It makes a difference on raid bosses and in Heroics.
So it's really up to preference, I enjoy my consistently high threat and dps. I pump mastery and my total dodge/parry/block is up to 72.56% while having 6% Hit and 23 Expertise. That's quite good imo. I get most of my Hit from my Cogwheel and my Expertise from reforging Hit to Expertise on other pieces...and I always have Mastery on every piece.

0.0 HT + Charge + SB
1.5 Rend
3.0 TC <--- If they go before this, they're jumping the gun. That's just the way Cata is. If they don't want to learn the mechanics as they changed for cata, it's not your fault. Let them tank it.
Well marked kill order. DPS focus-firing rather than AoE-ing and problems solved. Don't play suboptimally because DPS plays suboptimally.
If you want to play a high hit/exp build because it's less stressful, that's fine. That's how you enjoy WoW. But don't offer it as a legitmiate comparison to tanks looking to push. You greatly overgear all heroics. You're not pushing content.

If you like big numbers in heroic 5mans, you get much higher numbers when going the survival route, because you will be able to go without CC and tank everything when you have got few raid items. Yes, you can do it WotLK-style like. And since all those mobs hit you, you have high Vengeance and do high dmg on all of them. I'm doing it nearly everwhere now, and I've still some blue items left. (There are some exceptions where CC actually makes the encounters faster, like the healers in Vortex or stuff like that.) And my healers are bored most of the time.
You cannot do the same thing without stressing out your healers when you go for hit and expertise. Single target (or few target) trash fighting even with hit and expertise caps don't let you do high dps. The difference in Vengeance is much more than 25% hits more connecting. Vengeance more or less scales with the number of mobs that hit you. (Sure a survival build takes less dmg per mob, so this has to be factored in, but even if one additional mob only adds 50% more, that's more than your 25%.)
I'm fighting for #1 in heroic 5mans most of the time as a tank with hit and expertise as low as possible and even without going for Deep Wounds. If I need more dmg I would switch over to a DW build. And when raiding, I have missdirect or stuff like that for the start. And people know the drill to not open up with all CDs popped. I get no complains about low threat or stuff. On the contrary some dps have called me a dmg whore. And there are those moments where you do much more dmg when you just don't die. But more important it's not a wipe and you may even be able to finish the encounter.

My current build has 1 DW, 3 WA, 2 Cruelty, 3 Incite.
But that's the thing, I don't need to let them tank it.
On top of that, if I miss too many white attacks I end up chancing rage starvation. Rage starved plus lower threat are not good combinations.
Perhaps I need to respec and take Battle Trance to help make up for rage issues I might have.
And of course she shouldn't have problems healing you. You're gear level would indicate you should be attempting Nef. You have a 353 item level, which pretty well outgears heroics.
You start at 0 seconds <--- this is the pull and the first GCD.
GCD #1, time = 0 seconds, Heroic Throw (Off GCD) + Charge + SB (off GCD)
GCD #2, Time = 1.5 seconds, Rend
GCD #3, TIme = 3.0 seconds, TC
GCD #4, Time = 4.5 seconds <--- 4.5 seconds is 4 GCDs off the pull
You can maintain threat easily if DPS doesn't blow their load too quickly (which is their fault, not yours) even missing 30% of your attacks (8% miss, 6.5% dodge, 14% parry for 28.5% total fail to land). Vengance makes this very possible.
Missing white attacks does not rage starve you. Your rage comes from blocking (Shield mastery) or spell reflection (against single-target bosses that like to just cast... VP I'm looking at you). DPS gets rage predominately from blocking, which again, makes mastery even better.
I don't know how you can be rage starved in fights other than those where there's very few incoming melee attacks. If it's an issue, lay off the HS.
5% hit and 23 expertise is 1290 rating. 1290 rating is equal to:
7.3% dodge/parry (before diminishing returns)
7.2 mastery which is = 10.8% block + 10.8% crit block.
That doesn't come out of mastery at all. 1290 rating that's currently in hit/exp that could be in dodge/parry with better itemized gear or reforging.
I have no idea where you think you're losing mastery. It's 7%, which is nearly 25%.
Hit cogwheel = dodge (probably)
Blue = Mastery/Sta
Yellow/Prismatic = Mastery
Red = Parry/Mastery
You have a number of very easily obtainable upgrades, they can simply be bought.
Neck = http://www.wowhead.com/item=57932 (JP vendor item) or http://www.wowhead.com/item=56319out of heroic blackrock caverns
Shoulders are tough: Options are all drops. But the sta/dodge enchant is a vendor item. Therezane rep
Cloak: http://www.wowhead.com/item=62383 Mt Hyjal Exalted
Chest - Great option - but mastery should come from Expertise, not parry.
Wrist - BiS sub raiding
Gloves - http://www.wowhead.com/item=58105 <- JP purchasable. Use the mastery enchant over the expertise enchant. Current gem should be parry/mastery
Waist - Gemming mastery/stam would be equal to pure mastery like you have. your choice.
Legs - Clear you're trying to get the most you can out of your DPS legs. Not horrible at all with all that mastery, but obviously you're not looking to reforge it every time (or else the hit to dodge/parry if you will reforge as needed)
Rings - 2 purchaseable rings (crafted + therezane) that would be as good as any other 346s for tanking: http://www.wowhead.com/item=52320 (crafted - have a JC alt or guildy?) http://www.wowhead.com/item=62351 (Threzane)
Soulblade - Hit to dodge/parry
Trinkets are tough, but if you do the TB dailies - http://www.wowhead.com/item=62471 to go along with the crab.
Range - good as nearly all, if not all. Range stinks for tanks.
With your current gear and some of the choices you've made that represent big investments (chest/legs) you won't be able to drop all hit/exp, so it may not be a full 7%, but it will be much closer to 7% than you think.
Your threat will decrease a little, but with a good rotation, 3/3 deep wounds, and marking kill priority, you shouldn't have more than an occasional problem (and then with overactive pugs).

Why do you think that more dmg should be a concern, again?
Anyway - if you are concerned about your dmg/dps/threat: max out DW. It gives you the most.
Btw: If blizz would assume that tanks should be hit capped all the time they would not have made the change for taunts never missing and probably would not do the changes to interrupts never missing in 4.1.

I do appreciate all the replies and my apologies to the OP for threadjacking lol.
I asked about metas earlier...don't think I saw a reply so I'll ask again...
What Meta are you all using? I'm using +1% SB now but am considering the Effulgent -2% Spell Damage Taken. The Warrior's biggest weakness is Spell Damage after all.
To add to that, if I don't change to -2% Spell Damage I'm gonna change it to +2% Armor.
However, my current build is trying to push Mastery as much as possible as the expense of everything else. I put the most Mastery I could on every piece.
Good catch about Battle trance btw.
Don't even get me started on shoulders XD
My legs were a lucky drop from BH. I actually like them more than the tank set legs...and I don't care much about my DPS set, I'll gimp a piece for my Tank set.
The ring will come with Therazene rep and I'm not going to spend almost two weeks of JC tokens for that ring. Rather, I'll be getting a ring as my next valor piece.
I'm exalted with BH already....but I'm not getting one of their trinkets for tanking.
Why wouldn't you get the BH trink for tanking? That thing is awesome for tanking...probably BiS prior to heroic raids and the 1 min CD is great.
Piercing howl is great if your OT'ing adds and stuff (ie. Maloriak or Magmaw). If you're just running 5 mans, I haven't found a great use for it except for maybe doing achievs (ie. the croc one in Lost City).
There aren't enough places that 2% magic damage will simply make any difference. 2% increase to armor isn't much either since the cap is something like 90k armor and we're sitting around 36-40k unbuffed, but it is consitent damage reduction for almost all damage you'll take. The block meta was much better when it was OP'd at 5% XD
I haven't looked at the stats in depth, but you're probably better off getting the T11 gloves > VP Ring. Ring would be 2nd.
Yes - the DPS pants aren't bad at all, it just makes the 2pc hard to get.
I'm still not seeing where you'd lose mastery - every option I listed has mastery and is fairly easy to obtain. You'd almost always be trading hit or exp for avoidance or mastery.

Reforged, respecced and gemmed(changed hit cog to parry cog). Now up to 74.96% block/parry/dodge(up 2.4%). Hit is at 3.55% and Exp at 12(down from 6% and 23). So 2.4% avoidance/mitigation was gained to give up 2.46% hit and 11 Exp. Or about 10% less unmitigated damage.
I haven't gotten the BH trinket yet because I have decent trinkets atm...I'll likely get it when I have enough tokens.
I lose Mastery in pieces where Dodge/Parry > Exp/Hit. Which is why my mastery only went up a little after reforging, my biggest gains came from Dodge/Parry.

I don't get why you're losing mastery.
If gear is Dodge/Parry 2x hit/exp so you reforged dodge parry, and you replaced it with mastery/(dodge/parry) gear, you're going to see mastery and dodge/parry go up. You're reforging dodge/parry into mastery, right? You're in your PvP gear right now so I can't check.

- Grim Batol 3. boss
- Grim Batol last boss
- Blackrock cavern last boss
All of them are done with some kiting. I often get groups where actually nobody has any slow and not the dps to kill the stuff soon enough. I cannot switch over to the said targets and stance dance to use hamstering, so a slowing shout can reduce the number of wipes a lot.
As I said, it's nothing I would recomment as a talent to use by everybody. And I'm monitoring the need to switch my spec to something more streamlined all the time. But the spec does not affect my survivability negatively, my dps is higher than that of the other tank I'm running with most of the time and I have no threat problems. Because of that I can get away with this spec at the moment. (If I come to the point where I just need more dps/threat it's just a few clicks and I have access to a lot more. That's a nice idea, too.)
P.S.: I've the same thoughts than Loganisis with your matery.
Spent a few hours in BWD. I noticed a huge difference in my threat. My DK OT was *easily* able to pull aggro from me when previously he would not have. I also had more trouble holding our top survival and ret DPS' threat. I would have to taunt aggro back when before it was a non issue.
Of course after less than a minute, Vengeance ramped up enough and the issue was moot...but it's still...not what I prefer. Perhaps I will change my weapon's enchant to Avalanche to help a little...not like Mending does much. I did tell them to chill a little as my new stats dropped my initial aggro and I can tell when they're holding back.

I went from reforging Dodge to reforging Hit and thus lost 38 Mastery from that piece. I have a few pieces that have the same issue.

I see what you're saying now with mastery - I was talking about changing gear entirely, not just how you reforge.
Going from 123 dodge + 82 mastery to 205 dodge + 44 mastery is basically:
123 + (82*1.5) = 123+123 = 246 dodge/parry/block (since block is 1.5% for basically the same amount of rating that dodge/parry is for 1%)
205 + (44*1.5) = 205 + 66 = 271. So you did lose a little block, but you actually came out ahead by reforging hit in this case.
But that wasn't what I was talking about, I was talking about replacing (dodge/parry/block) / (hit/exp) gear with (dodge/parry/gear) / (dodge/parry/mastery) gear.
Avalanche is a very minimal TPS gain, it's literally like 50 DPS or something. ~600/5 times a minute (I think it was 5 ppm for 2.6 weapon speed according to the testing posted at wowhead) for 3000/60 = 50dps. Or something like that. Accuracy or Weapon Chain are better DPS weapon enchants.
Do you have logs or descriptions of which fight your raid members were pulling off of you.. was it on the trash? Create a thread in the HALP! forum about threat and we can look into it there. This is getting pretty OT for this thread.
As you don't have a kill in BWD and talking about OT pulling off and that would only happen with trash, not Halifus, I'm guessing it was on trash - and I'll say this much - I ran BWD recently with a less geared DK than me recently and he was signficantly above me in AoE threat, not that it really mattered much. We have great AoE, some classes just have better XD. Thunderstruck might help out a little, but I know in my case it was more than the limited increase thunderstruck would offer...
P.S. I would suggest either 2/2 in B+T or 0/2 in B+T - you're making the application of Rend RNG, which WILL cause AoE problems.

I can get new pieces, at least the jp ones. I was hoping I'ld be able to replace them with epics by now.
Looks like I'm gonna put a weapon chain back on. I like the -50% disarm duration, not having my shield has killed me before fighting the tougher trash in the beginning of BoT.
I haven't been keeping logs, but I'm going to do that for tonight's raid. Is there an addon you like?
A Ret Pally and Survival Hunter were able to pull off me in the beginning of fighting Omnotron. Previously, they challenged my threat but I could always keep it with perfect rotations...now I need to use my taunts wisely to hold aggro.
The DK OT was pulling off of me in the beginning of Omnotron as well...so obviously so that I had him pull the boss in the beginning after our first couple attempts...wasn't used to that. It's natural for a DK to have higher AoE threat than me.
With a 15 sec duration, Rend should usually stay up on targets if I use TC on CD. Thunderstruck will increase my single target threat a little while another point in Rend will help AoE a little but not increase single target DPS. I'll go back to 2/2 TB if I'm not happy with the loss of AoE.
upload the logs to Worldoflogs.com. Create a profile, click on client, follow the instructions.
If you've never run /combatlog you're fine. If you have, delete the current file from your logs folder or you'll have to manually edit it before uploading.
Ret pally has burst. Ret pally that doesn't watch their threat is fail.
Surv hunter has ZERO reason to pull off of you on pull. He's got Misdirection and Feign Death. He needs to make use of his ablities.
If the DK has better threat than you, for ODS, you might think about vig-ing him and letting him start the pull and you grab the next activated.
If you use thunderclap on CD you're ABSOLUTELY going to have threat issues. TC doesn't hit for much. It's more of a defensive offensive ability in that it slows incoming attacks by 10%. And now, reapplies rend. Put 2/2 in B+T and use TC just before rend falls off, or take the point out of B+T and let rend fall of and reapply fresh, using TC only to refresh the debuff.
If you use TC on CD you're wasting almost 25% of your GCDs on one of your weakest hitting abilities.
You're looking at this all wrong.
Another point in B+T is still a single win because 1) You refresh rend with less than 3 seconds left it's better than a devestate and it refrshes the attack speed debuff. Knowing this will happen 100% of the time will free up ~2 GCDs every 18 seconds for harder hitting threat abilities than TC, which will be a big TPS increase.
Take it out of Thunderstruck or cruelty, but bet B+T to 2/2 or drop it completely.
In my sig is a link to a thread on basic tanking - it's not 100% accurate, there's some things I need to fix. But it's mostly there - but what I want you to do is scroll down until the links section and find the link to WarTotem's spreadsheet. Download it and open it up (Excel or ODS, which is what, Open Office which is freeware?). Plug your stats in and take a look at the different abilities (rotation tab) and talents (abilities tab?).
Play around with them and you'll see your approximate threat ceiling will change. It will help I think understand why you're having issues with threat.

For ODS, that's exactly what I ended up doing. By the time the 2nd golem was activated, my Vengeance would be 10-20% and so threat was easy.
The world of logs client gives you the option to delete the log after uploading.
The only catch is WOW needs to be closed when you upload it, otherwise it won't delete the file. Then you'll need to locate it manually and delete it. Basically it:
1. Uploads:
2. Asks you if you want to zip (archive) the file
3. Ask you if you want to delete the current log file. But it won't delete it if WoW is open.

Some notes on these intriguing topics:
Buddhabrot fractals and non-linear chaotic systems
papañca - diversification; diffuseness; spreading; mental diffusion, mental proliferation
Complex non-linear systems:
"These systems are apt analogues for dependent co-arising (paticca-samuppada) in that, despite the fact that their behavior sometimes seems chaotic, their behavior actually contains deep, regular patterns. Furthermore, in some cases, these patterns can be utilized so that the system will behave in a desired way." (Thanissaro Bhikkhu)
Fractal Definition: A geometric pattern that is repeated (iterated) at ever smaller (or larger) scales to produce (self similar) irregular shapes and surfaces that cannot be represented by classical (Euclidian) geometry. Fractals are used especially in computer modeling of irregular patterns and structures found in nature.(1)

|One of the ways Kahless tries to convince Worf that he is real is to talk about a vision of Kahless Worf had as a child. So since Kahless turns out to be a fake, how did he know about Worf's vision? And if Worf had told people about it, then why wouldn't he object that Kahless knowing about it was no proof that he was real?
|Great Moment :
|Data talking about his 'leap of faith'.
|Factoid :
|A line cut from this episode places the death of Kahless 1,547 years ago - 822 AD.
|Quote :
|"Long ago a storm was heading toward the city of Quin'lat. The people sought protection within the walls, all except one man who remained outside. I went to him and asked what he was doing. 'I am not afraid,' he said. 'I will not hide my face behind stone and mortar. I will stand before the wind and make it respect me.' I honoured his choice and went inside. The next day the storm came, and the man was killed. The wind does not respect a fool." - Kahless to Gowron
Worf has a crisis of faith and no less than the legendary Khaless returns from the dead to help him out - and to reclaim the throne from Gowron.

Believe it or not, back-to-school time can be dangerous for your pets! Every September our amazing team at the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center (APCC) sees an increase in calls related to pets getting into backpacks.
Why should you keep your pets away from your kids' backpacks?
Well, backpacks often contain items that can spell big trouble for the health of your furry family members, such as gum (which may contain xylitol), medications and inhalers.
Also, since no pet can resist the alluring smell of a freshly packed lunch, lunch boxes can pose big problems. School lunch staples like grapes, raisins and chocolate can make pets sick—see which other people-foods you should avoid feeding to your pets.
So as your kids head back to school, please be sure to stash backpacks and lunch boxes out of your pets' reach. And since we can't watch our pets ALL the time, remember that the APCC is available 24/7/365 at (888) 426-4435. Keep that number handy by requesting a free ASPCA Pet Safety Pack, which contains a refrigerator magnet with the APCC's contact info!
Get a 10% discount on everything in the ASPCA Online Store!

Sheokjuk Oqutaq
Canadian, 1920–1982
Mother and Child, 1952
stone, ivory, black colouring
19.5 x 10.8 x 8.5 cm
Collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery; The Ian Lindsay Collection; Acquired with funds from the Volunteer Committee to the Winnipeg Art Gallery
Sheokjuk Oqutaq was well known for his realistic style and elegant compositions. In later years his favoured subjects were birds, intricately carved in green serpentinite. However, in his early years his work was mainly figurative. He began carving ivory miniatures in about 1946 when he lived near Kimmirut. When stone carving was encouraged in the Cape Dorset area in the early 1950s, Sheokjuk continued his use of ivory with black incised details for human heads to give realism to his figures. Before the discovery of a stone deposit at Tatsiitag at Markham Bay on South Baffin Island in the mid-1950s, carvers from Cape Dorset often used hard granite or other stones found on the ground. Sheokjuk has made good use of this material in the contrast between the delicate ivory faces and the less expressive dark stone.

From the Land: Materials & Message in Inuit Art
December 14, 2013 to April 15, 2014
In the early 1950s, works by Inuit artists began to be sold in southern markets. Since that era, widely recognized as the beginning of contemporary Inuit art, artists from three successive generations have been creating unique artworks inspired by traditional life on the land, the natural and spirit world, lived experiences, stories and legends. They have been experimenting with a variety of artistic media and techniques resulting in distinctive personal styles. This exhibition features a selection of sculptures and wall hangings from the Winnipeg Art Gallery's comprehensive collection of Inuit art.
The most common material used by Inuit carvers is stone, but the type of stone varies widely and is dependent upon what can be found locally. Some communities have only small deposits and artists often resort to using organic materials from animals. Netsilingmiut artists from Taloyoak have become known for their creative use of ancient whalebone left on the tundra by their predecessors. Antlers, shed each autumn by caribou, are a common material for carvers in the Kivalliq region. One of the fascinations of Inuit sculpture is how the often scarce materials available have been shaped into extraordinary artworks.
Fabric collage wall hangings emerged as a distinctive new art form in Baker Lake during the 1970s. Inuit women adapted their traditional sewing skills and mastery of stitchery to create high-quality artworks from wool duffle or stroud with felt appliqués and embroidery. The artworks depict a variety of subjects ranging from narrative traditional camp life scenes to arctic animals and the spirit world. The exhibition includes a distinctive piece incorporating antler, beads, and caribou skin by Martha Ikiperiak Eekerkik of Arviat as well as wall hangings by renowned Baker Lake artists Jessie Oonark, Elizabeth Angrnaqquaq, and Marion Tuu'luq.

Welcome to the course! You've probably been hearing quite a bit about the Atkins Advantage lately. In this course, we'll explore the nutrition principles of the Atkins Advantage: what they are, why they matter and how they can help you keep your energy levels high and steady as you navigate your busy day. As we explore the principles in detail, you'll get practical tips on how to incorporate them into your daily routine.
In return, you can expect the reward of a long life, rich with health and the powerful sense of well-being that comes from truly being in control of some of the most vital aspects of your life.
That's the edge you get from the Atkins Advantage.
The Nutrition Principles of the Atkins Advantage
You can enjoy the Atkins Advantage by following these basic common sense nutrition principles:
High protein: Including protein in every meal provides your body the material it needs for repair and maintenance, helps build muscle, keeps your energy levels high and helps keep your appetite under control.
High fiber: Fiber offers huge benefits to your health, from helping to regulate the flow of fats and nutrients into your blood stream and helping your digestive tract function efficiently to aiding in the prevention of disease in the colon.
Low sugar: To avoid spikes in your blood sugar, you need to focus on fiber-rich nutrient-dense foods that have a minimal impact on blood sugar and will keep your energy levels even.
Vitamins and minerals: Adequate vitamins and minerals help your body to run like a well-oiled machine, providing energy and protecting your body from the ravages of free radicals. Choosing nutrient-dense foods tends to promote the intake of necessary vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and other nutrients.
No trans fats: Study after study has confirmed the detrimental effects of trans fats on human beings. Watch out for them, check the nutrition facts panel no matter what it says on the front of the package and strive for zero trans fats in your daily food intake.
In this lesson, we'll explore the first three of these principles in some detail. We'll define what they are, why they matter and how you can put them to work for you.
Up Next
We'll start with protein. In the most basic sense, that's what our bodies start with, too.
Proteins are the essential building blocks for much of the material our bodies are made of: muscles, nerves, organs, hair, just about everything. So protein is critical for both growth and repair of our bodies.
In general, we can't store protein the way we can carbohydrates, so it's pretty much a "use it or lose it" proposition where protein is concerned. That's why it's so important that we spread our protein intake fairly evenly throughout the day, and eat our required amount of protein every day to protect the lean muscle mass we have as well as build new lean tissue. This is especially true for athletes and others who are more physically active than average.
Protein Sources and Suggested Amounts
Our bodies can synthesize some proteins from certain amino acids, but it must get others from the foods we eat. Animal and dairy products are both sources of high-quality protein, along with some vegetables, like soybeans, and nuts and seeds.
How much protein you need depends on your activity level, metabolism and weight, but in general, you need a bare minimum of about a half-gram of protein per pound of body weight. Assuming that your activity level is higher than that of a sedentary individual, you will need more -- possibly twice as much. And if you're really into exercise or other physical activities, if you have a muscular build, if you're a nursing mother, or if you're dealing with a lot of stress, you may need even more than that. And since, as we age, our ability to utilize protein becomes less efficient, older people may need as much as 15 percent more protein than they did when they were younger.
Atkins Advantage Products and Protein
With 15 grams of protein in the shakes and up to 19 grams of protein in the nutrition bars, it's easy to see why Atkins Advantage products give you the protein edge. The protein content comes from several high-quality sources that offer a complete amino acid profile.
Sources include:
whey protein isolate
soy protein isolate
sodium caseinate
calcium caseinate
Why do we use these sources? Simple: They are among the best available in terms of your body's ability to maximize protein's inherent benefits:
Whey protein is very low in carbohydrates, high in protein, and has been shown in studies to possess immune-boosting capabilities. Whey protein also provides substrate and bioactive components to extend the overall benefits of physical activity.
Soy protein isolate has been shown to lower LDL ("bad") cholesterol, increase HDL ("good") cholesterol and inhibit the progression of atherosclerosis.
And sodium caseinate and calcium caseinate are milk proteins. Research has shown that resistance exercise plus a high-protein diet supplemented with caseinate, resulted in the greatest increases in lean mass and strength and greatest decreases in fat mass compared with an unsupplemented high-protein diet and resistance training.
The Atkins.com Research section has an ever-changing array of articles about protein, so check back often to catch up on the latest.
Up Next
We'll get serious about fiber.
Dietary fiber comes from plants. Basically, it's the left-over parts of edible plants after the nutrients have been removed: seed casings, cell walls and such. It is a carbohydrate, but because it isn't digested in human beings. Fiber serves myriad useful purposes in promoting health and keeping your energy levels even. Some of the things fiber does are:
Slow the entry of glucose into the bloodstream, reducing blood sugar spikes
Slow the pace of food moving through your digestive tract, helping you feel satisfied longer and reducing cravings
Bind to cholesterol in the intestine, thus helping you eliminate it rather than having it slosh around in your blood stream and clogging your arteries
Absorb and eliminate bacterial toxins in your intestine and in general, support your immune system by crowding out harmful bacteria in your colon
Fiber Sources and Suggested Amounts
Fiber offers huge benefits to your health, from helping to regulate the flow of fats and nutrients into your blood stream and helping your digestive tract function efficiently to aiding in the prevention of some kinds of cancer.
Women need -- at a bare minimum -- 25 grams of fiber a day, while men need at least 35 grams and the hard truth is that most of us don't get that much from the foods we eat. We get it from nuts, seeds and fiber-rich vegetables like cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower and others. Getting enough fiber can be extremely challenging.
You can determine how much fiber you're getting from the foods you eat by checking the Nutrition Facts panel on the product label. The right nutrition bar or shake offers a great way to supplement for the fiber that you may not get from natural foods, helping you meet your optimal quota.
Among the various nutrition bars available on the market, Atkins Advantage bars, as well as our shakes, are rich in fiber. The bars have up to 11 grams of fiber, while the shakes have up to 4 grams. That means that each bar has 20 percent of the minimum daily amount of fiber needed for men. No matter what bar or shake you select, be sure to scan the label and use it to help you meet your daily fiber needs.
To learn more about fiber and why it's so important, read " Fiber: a Special Kind of Carbohydrate."
Up Next
Another important principle: low sugar.
Low glycemic impact foods help you avoid the dreaded "sugar spike and crash" that can come from foods high in sugar.
"Glycemic" simply means "relating to sugar." The higher the glycemic impact of a food the greater and more rapid its effect on your blood sugar when you eat it -- and the more insulin required to return your blood sugar to normal. Since insulin is a fat-storage hormone, high blood sugar and high insulin can sabotage your better health efforts. Eating lower glycemic foods with low sugar content is definitely the way to go.
Keeping an Eye on Sugar
In the early 1800s, the average sugar consumption was 12 pounds per person each year. This increased to 124 pounds in 1980 and to 152 pounds in 1997. Today, we consume an estimated 156 pounds of added sugar per person per year. This translates into more than 5 tons in a lifetime. Common table sugar represents about 20 to 25 percent of the daily caloric intake of the average American.
All of which makes it no surprise that fitness professionals in a survey conducted by Kelton research name sugar consumption as the number one issue facing their clients and the most difficult issue for their clients to control. Consumers, meanwhile, ranked eating less sugar as the most difficult nutritional challenge they face -- more difficult than eating fewer calories or eating carbohydrates.
However, consumers and fitness professionals are equally confused about the sugar content of nutrition bars and other snacks. Both groups incorrectly identified doughnuts as having the most sugar on the list, when, in fact, two popular "nutrition" bars (both containing as much as 20 grams of sugar) outrank a glazed doughnut, which clocks in with 10 grams of sugar. Fitness professionals make the mistake despite stating that 1) they count eating too much sugar as the number one issue their clients face, and 2) they rank sugar as the number one item to look for on nutrition labels.
To avoid high sugar content, you simply need to read the nutrition facts panel to see how many grams of sugar are listed. It's important to note that sugar content will include naturally occurring sugars (found in fruits and nuts, whole grains and dairy) as well as added sugars (also listed in the ingredients section) which include but are not limited to:
high-fructose corn syrup
Atkins Advantage® nutrition bars have only 3g or less of sugar, preventing the dreaded spike and crash that can occur after eating other nutrition bars. Also, Atkins Advantage bars have more protein, and more fiber than most other leading nutrition bars. Compare Atkins Advantage bars to bars offered by PowerBar and Clif Bar, some of which clock in at a hefty 18 to 20 grams of sugar. This chart shows you the actual sugar content for several popular brands.
Moving Forward
In this lesson, we've covered the first three principles of the Atkins Advantage nutrition principles and have shown you how they give you the edge on health and energy. In the next lesson, we'll cover the other two: sufficient vitamins and minerals and no trans fats.
Before moving on to Lesson 2, be sure to do the assignment and take the quiz, then join your instructors and fellow students on the Message Board to share questions, answers, tips and experiences. See you there!
Welcome back! In the last lesson we explored the first three Atkins Advantage principles: high protein, high fiber and low sugar. Now, we'll look at the last two: vitamins and minerals and avoiding trans fats. We'll see what they are, why they're important, how to apply them to your everyday life, and how Atkins Advantage products support them.
Nutrient levels in fruits, vegetables and some other food crops have declined dramatically over the past 50 years. Research indicates that the old maxim "you can get all the vitamins you need from food" is increasingly less true. Recent studies of vegetables, fruits and wheat have revealed a 5 to 35 percent decline in some concentrations of vitamins and minerals and even protein. "High-yield crops grow bigger or faster, but are not necessarily able to make or uptake sufficient nutrients to maintain their nutritional value," said Donald Davis, a biochemist at the University of Texas.
Some experts are wondering whether this may result in a backlash among consumers clamoring for healthier food and food products. One class of food that may benefit is organic fruits and vegetables. Recent studies have tested the effects of organic growing on antioxidant levels in food." On average, antioxidant levels increased by about 30 percent in carefully designed comparative trials," Davis said. "Organically grown produce offers significantly enhanced health-promoting qualities."
The declining level of nutrients in our food supply is definitely cause for concern. And fruits and vegetables are not the only casualties. Even meat has been affected. In one study of nutritional tables published in the UK it was found that iron content in 15 different varieties of meat had decreased by an average of 47 percent over a sixty year period. Virtually every day a new study shows the benefit of vitamins, minerals, carotenoids, plant sterols or omega-3 fatty acids. Proper intake of these vitally important nutritional compounds is a cornerstone principle of the Atkins Advantage. Getting sufficient vitamins and minerals is one of the best things you can do for your health and energy levels, Fortunately, great-tasting nutrition bars and shakes from Atkins Advantage are packed with vitamins and minerals -- so you can enjoy great taste, convenience and superior nutrition wherever you go! Everyone knows that vitamins and minerals are important but did you know that most vitamins are water-soluble? That means you should take vitamins at intervals throughout the day to help maintain stable nutrient levels. Atkins Advantage products offer a convenient way to meet your vitamin needs.
Always on the go? B-complex vitamins give you greater resilience for whatever life brings your way. And even though we all know the health benefits of calcium -- strong bones and teeth, as well as circulatory and nervous system support -- sometimes it's hard to fit adequate natural sources of calcium into in a busy lifestyle. Along with 15 grams of protein, an Atkins Advantage shake includes 23 essential nutrients plus 30 percent of your calcium needs!
If you've been paying any attention at all, you've heard something about trans fats lately, because new labeling laws have gone into effect that require listing them on the Nutrition Facts panels of food products, if they're in a product. The reason they're required to be listed is that our government has finally recognized the results of decades of clinical research proving that trans fats are just plain unhealthy.
Learn more about a huge study that's been running for over three decades, involving well over 100,000 nurses, that has contributed data resulting in changing labeling laws in the United States.
Trans fats, also called partially hydrogenated vegetable oils, can be made from just about any vegetable oil that's liquid at room temperature. It's done because hydrogenating a liquid oil raises its melting point so it can be solid at room temperature, and it increases its shelf life. That's useful for products like vegetable shortening and margarine.
But those two advantages are extremely costly in terms of human health. Trans fats have been solidly linked to heart attacks and circulatory diseases. They make the arteries more rigid, and contribute to clogging. They harden cell walls and over time, that renders the cells less effective in their functions. Trans fats also lower HDL -- the "good" cholesterol -- and raise the levels of LDL -- the "bad" cholesterol.
Even with the new labeling law, you need to be careful because if the amount of trans fats in a single serving of a product is below a half-gram, manufacturers are allowed to report the amount as zero trans fats, and not list them on the Nutrition Facts panel. So again, you should always check the ingredients list, too. Look for the words, "partially hydrogenated" and if they're there, trans fats are there, too. Put the product back on the shelf.
Good Fats, Bad Fats
Don't let all this information about trans fats scare you away from fats in general. A reasonable mix of fats -- including saturated, mono-unsaturated, and poly-unsaturated fats -- is an important component of healthy nutrition, and all three types of fats contribute to good health.
If you're cutting out all the fat in your diet you may not be getting the most out of your fruits and vegetables. It turns out that some of the very best stuff in fruits and vegetables are what's called "fat-soluble." That means these powerful cancer-fighting compounds need fat in order to be absorbed. If you don't have some fat in the meal, all these wonderful compounds are missed.
The vitamin C in fruits and vegetables is water-soluble, so it is unaffected by dietary fat. But beta-carotene and the other carotenoids, as well as vitamin E, are fat-soluble and require some fat for best absorption from the digestive tract. And you don't need that much. A teaspoon of oil, three ounces of poultry (or other lean protein), an egg, or a tablespoon of nuts will do it!
In one recent study at the University of Michigan, four groups of women consumed varying amounts of fruits and vegetables with a diet of either 30 percent fat or 16 percent fat. While some nutrients were not affected by the fat content of the diet, some other extremely important nutrients decreased noticeably on the lower fat diet, including a very important form of vitamin E called gamma-tocopherol which seems to be anti-inflammatory and may even stimulate self-destruction of cancer cells. On the low-fat diet, gamma-tocopherol dropped by more than 50 percent. We get gamma-tocopherol from pistachios, pecans, walnuts and peanuts, as well as a small amount from avocados. In other research at Ohio State University, adding some avocado to a fat-free salsa significantly increased the absorption of two important cancer fighting antioxidants: lycopene and beta-carotene.
These fat-soluble antioxidants are better absorbed by the body if consumed with a little fat:
Lutein (spinach and kale)
Beta carotene (carrots, cantaloupe)
Lycopene (tomatoes)
Zeaxanthin (spinach, kale)
Vitamin E (broccoli, spinach, walnuts, pistachios)
Bottom line: A hard-boiled egg or some olive oil on that spinach salad will increase its value to your body!

Atkins Advantage Products and the No-Trans-Fats Principle
Put clearly and simply, no Atkins Advantage products contain any trans fats whatsoever. They never have. The fats in Atkins Advantage products are a healthy blend of dietary fats designed to give you the edge in nutrition, health and flavor.

My gear was probably worse when I first started Kara & I used many similar blues. Only one's I'd suggest are the KOT legs if you can get the rep as it's a massive amount of stam you can pack onto to them. Only part I'd be worried about is having to use +def gems to roll over the cap, as +hit or +dodge would probably help you more skimming the stats, and the bracers would be a cheap tweak.
I used mine like that until splashing out on some Green fortress ones for the extra stam for the harder bosses. I mention the +hit as 20 seems pretty low and a few misses or dps crits could be painful. If you are lucky with the first few boss drops then you'd be laughing as the bracers and belt would be a massive boost to you. Something like the heroic ramps belt would serve you well over what you have.
