Simply put - you do not need fat to build muscle. You need the anabolic hormones to build muscle - and the levels produced are only optimised if you eat enough fats.

Of course, unless you are injecting yourself with tons of test, then fat isn't really needed. If you can link this to pro bodybuilders, you can see why they can follow a high carb/low fat diet and succeed while the 99.9% of naturals dont even come close because they 'followed a pro bodybuilder's diet'.


ChuckRD recognizes this and therefore his advocating of high amount of healthy fats in a person's diet is certainly justified. High fat and high carbs certainly don't go together, not because of the insulin spike while fatty acid is present and all that ****. It's simply because they both are fuels for the body, and your body prefentially choose carbs over the fatty acids. That makes you a 'sugar-burner' and not a fat-burner.

amcrnilovic is on a distinguished road. (+10)
I have heard numerous times not to combine fat and carbs as you have said, yet the re-feed meal is high fat and high carb. Why is that and won't it hinder progress (especially being the last meal of the day)
