Can somebody please explain the "carbs in the A.m are bad theory"

[Jonnyg419]

I am down to the last couple pounds of fat in my spring cut, and I recently read an article that claimed that eating A.M carbs will slow down my fat loss results because of the release of insulin that coincides with my carb ingestion. Is it true that this could causr those last couple pounds of fat to stick to my body no matter what?? Can somebody please help confirm or deny this, please get as technical as you would like, but layman's terms are always appreciated.

Carbs can spike up your insulin, which lowers your ability to burn fat.
In a nutshell: Your body will probably not burn those carbs at in the evening/night, so they will store as fat.

You shouldn't worry about insulin if you aren't diabetic. Don't waste your time. Stick to your deficit and you will get there.

Umm NO.

The first part of the theory is based around the idea that spiking your insulin levels will cause you to gain fat. Read the following article on insulin and why this is false.

The second part of the theory is based around the idea that eating at certain times has an effect on fat loss. Read the following article on what that is false.

Why is that? Please explain.

[t3nchi]

I always start off my day with either oatmeal or Ezekiel bread. Slower digesting carbs so I feel full longer until lunch.

[YouMadDawg]

No carbs in the am, no carbs after workout, no carbs at night. SO WHEN CAN I EAT CARBS? I am so fat and am very sure eating carbs has completely derailed my progress.

Why is that? Please explain.

Proper timing is one very key element in cutting up diets. You need to know what types of foods to eat and when. Following a proper protocol can have a very profound effect on your performance level and how you feel in general.

Space these meals 3-4 hours apart, while trying to consume your first as soon as you can upon waking and your last about an hour or so before bed.

The timing of your carbohydrate intake is essential for success during a cutting diet. Since carbohydrates are the bodies main source of fuel, you will want to take them at times when you are going to be most active and most likely to use up the energy they provide. This means eating larger quantities before and immediately after your workout when your body is recovering.

Generally, eating the majority of your carbohydrates around this training, as well as in the morning hours is the best approach as when you eat them in the morning you are more likely to use them up throughout the rest of your day.

Later in the evening you will want to start tapering down your carb intake focusing more on the vegetable sources in an effort to reduce total number of grams.

"I don't follow this" but I am going to post the info like it was written in the bible even though the info is crap. As already stated, I see why you are red....... Sure there are times I eat 3-4 hours apart but it's because I am hungry! Never once have I thought, "fauk I can't eat that, it has carbs and its 4pm" or "Sh*t I need to eat, its been 3 hours and I don't want my body to go into starvation mode".

[PunkyCindy]

in the 90s fats were bad
eggs go from good to bad and back
now it's bad, bad carbs

*eyeroll* evolution doesn't work that fast.

Stay in a deficit, hit your macros, and other than that eat when you feel like it. Some days I eat twice a day, some days 7...it doesn't matter when you eat what or how many times a day you eat.

don't get caught up in all that other theory stuff, just stick with the basics of weightloss cause it's easier.
