Mixing Carbs and Fats?
- Thread starter growin'
- Start date
Alright so then lets discuss the benefits of eating carbs and fat in the same meal. Because other than taste, I need reasons for doing this.
Would the fat cause less of an Insulin response/ lower GI/ slow digestion?
Obviously we are talking about healthy fats and non sugary carbs. No ice cream and pizza even though some seem to be able to loss fat while eating these in sub maintenance calorie levels.

I HAD been doing 33%protein/33%fat/33%carb for the last five years, and with good results may I add. I have been trying the protein/ carb and protein/fat split for the last 2 months. I prfer mixed. I felt alot leaner. Plus, by saving all my protein/fat meals towards the end of the day, I am sometimes too hungry to eat all them, or I have dinner with my wife ( a vegetarian). I would end up missing some of my protein/fat meals which is not good. You need fat to produce test!

I definitely think it has merit. Dan Duchaine's Isocaloric diet is designed to maintain relatively low insulin levels throughout the day and is primarily a weight loss diet. The lower insulin levels allows your body to maintain fat burning throughout the day. The massive eating diet is designed as a bulking diet with periods of high and low insulin levels. The higher insulin levels will help promote muscle growth while the periods of low insulin allow your body to burn fat. You're attempting nutrient partitioning. Which isn't too far fetched considering eating six to eight meals a day certainly has an effect.
When using Massive Eating to diet I generally eat my prot/carb meals in the morning/early afternoon and Prot/fat in the late afternoon/evening. However, if training in the afternoon I still have most post workout nutrition. The reason is that insulin sensitivity declines in the afternoon and is highest in the morning, which is why Duchaine recommended not eating fruit after noon when dieting. Remember, the massive eating diet for fat loss is designed to take months to remove the fat unlike intense dieting.
I highly recommend everyone give it a try. I've been doing it for about six months alternating bulking/dieting/maintenance every two weeks. Worst case scenario, it won't work but at least you'll know it's not the diet for you. Best case scenario, you'll be leaner and bigger than you were last year, which I am.

Has anyone found in empirical evidence supporting nutritional partitioning?
I think it is just extreme way to be "in the zone" because it allows the body to take advantage of insulin sensitivity in the morning.
