Everything I've seen about it is just dandy - lotsa veggies, healthy fats. But of course it can be improved. The downside is the no postworkout carbs, as well as the placement of the refeed - it's rather random (every 3rd day), as opposed to structuring the refeed so that it coincides with your hardest/most exhaustive training days. The thing to remember is that there's no "magic diet" out there, you have to adjust people's ideas to fit your own response.
Great book at it works. Follow it and u will love the results.

What seems weird to you so I can explain? One thing, its not what most people follow or have read about in the last few years. It’s my own mind and my own theories my own understanding and experience with biochemistry.
well i havn't finished the whole thing yet, but the first thing that jumped out for me was the post workout nutrition...usually u hear simple carbs and protein immediately after? also, they say not to mix protein with carbs or something to that effect in it because that will initiate an increased insulin response..those are a cple things that confused me
U don't need simple carbs postworkout, Not going to get into it, I will let Chuck take care of that behind the reasoning.

Sir,
We explain thoroughly why we do these things on this highly effective diet. Please read the entire book and if you need further explanation, let us know.
Thanks!

Yes, we believe in WORKOUT nutrition, not a pre and post. Please also note, this is for competition and not a "performance" diet. When you are finished with the book and if it did not explain why no carbs and protein together well enough, please, PM me or simply ask here and we will explain our thoughts. Pleasant reading...
We are mostly on here training for our physiques. Not for performance reasons. If we were training for performance yes then we would be using high gi carbs around training etc.
For your average person with an office job who spends 1 -2 hours per day exercising all those carbs are just not neccessary. As chuck says read the book.
i finished it and it makes more sense now...i like how the diets are laid out for different sized people and that takes the guess work out...im gonna give it a shot..thanks

Something I found in the book that seemed very different was the night time carb loading every three days.
I was thinking of doing the carb load on Monday and Friday nights. Or maybe Tuesdays and Saturdays. I haven't made my mind up yet.
My question is, why at night? It never really says why at that particluar time. Wouldn't that make the body more likely to store those carbs as bodyfat? Also, would it be more beneficial to have the carb loading on the night of or the night before a hard training day?
Great book all around though. Two thumbs up.

We actually do say why in the book. It is because we want a slow release of carbs into the body to keep the thyroid happy and replenish glycogen. We do this at night so it is used for this purpose, and not burned off for energy.

One thing I never knew was the insulin spike when carbs and protein are taken without fat... I snack alot on oats and whey protein.... didnt know it could have an impact on my blood sugar. I dont quite understand it either.
good book though.
Where can I get this cut book?

The insulin spike is b/c of the carbs, right? The spike is good postworkout to maximize protein absorption. Its going to put your muscles in an anabolic state. Is there anytime you wouldn't want an anabolic state isn't that the reason for 6 meals a day?
Roughly how many total grams of carbs and fat should be consumed during the carb load?
[QUOTE=kjb1891]Roughly how many total grams of carbs and fat should be consumed during the carb load?[/QUOTE]
It all depends on total calories.
Sorry about that. I went back and looked at the carb meals for each cut diet you had in the book. I didn't realize that each one was the same foods, but in different amounts. By my guessing I'd say the carb meal for the 2000 & 2500 calorie diets would be about 100g of carbs and 15g of fat.
