The body composition benifits of high glycemic carbs at night

[scubasteve1]

Essentially its stated that there are nutrient partitioning benefits when carbs (especially high glycemic) are eaten at night (thus body composition benefits).

I WANT to believe what he is saying, however I know it runs counter to the current consensus on this forum, thoughts?

Per Kiefer on Rob Wolff podcast, discussion starts at 17:00 mark (he references 'specific studies' at the 20:10 mark):

*also at 29:00 mark he discusses partitioning in more detail and why its different at night:

It sounds like a lot of splitting hairs to me. It doesn't matter when you eat your carbs, morning or night.

Consensus of this forum is eat when you want, what you want (as long as it fits)

I understand that, however, are his claims backed by good science?

Carb backloading. Ugh, no.

lol, i hear ya...i am just wondering about these 'studies' he verbally refers to in the podcast, legit science or bro-science?

It wasn't too long ago that both High GI carbs and eating carbs before bed were considered the devil.

Now combining them is supposedly good?

My oh my.

They might be legitimate, but to what real benefit?

Going all OCD over some minute detail to gain an .001% advantage seems pretty pointless, especially if applied to 90% of the posters on this site who think walking a mile a day = leg "training." KWIM?




See: the AA quote in my sig.

I just make sure to engage my quads when benching, problem solved.

Good point, the key question is how much benefit and for what population. A competitive BBer probably nothing, but someone who has dieted for 3months and stalled out because their hormones are shot? Thats what he implies in the podcast

Did you read the long CBL thread posted? It goes fairly in-depth

I understand your point, but Blade's version of CBL has worked wonders for me. Putting science aside, compliance and progression are the most important keys in my view. I used to follow the tried/true "6-8 meals a day to boost the metabolism" dogma for years. It drove me crazy if I missed a meal. I stumbled upon Lean Gains about 4 years ago, and have been IF'ing ever since.

Recently I was researching various diet strategies and found Blade's Biorythm Diet. I've been using it for the past 3 months, and my bodyfat has dropped unbelievably fast, while gaining some muscle as well. I know it isn't some kind of magic, and I do track calories, but I have never felt, or looked, better while in a calorie deficit. Plus, this style of eating can be maintained forever, unlike many diets where you have to be super strict while doing it.

I guess this just my longwinded way of saying that we each need to find what we respond to, and like doing, the best. When people ask what I've been doing to make such drastice changes, I tell them.....but I also tell them they need to learn what works for them.
