Fat Loss Nutrition - Nutrient Timing (When To Eat Carbs)

[sebbbi91]

nutrient timing doesn't matter and there are no bad foods. only the amount of food matters.

Yes!

I eat ice cream for breakfast :)

So what about if you are training for a marathon? I go to the gym regurly but I am also working on my running, doesnt my body still need those carbs to be able to run? (traing to loose fat but gain running performance for the commpetition)

[goanyways]

yup

Cals in equals cals out. Hit macro's first and foremost, timing is secondary. Read some articles by Alan Aragon & educate yourselves...

@jdjprimer19 Good call on Alan Aragon, very smart dude. John Berardi is great too.

I eat oat-meal every morning and i've been loosing a ton of weight and maintaining muscle. Oat-meal is a starch?

[losefatatwork]

@Raybee Yes I consider oat meal to be a starchy carb but a very good one. Still though, for maximum fat loss, use nutrient timing to make sure that you only eat it when your body is ready to use it for repair rather than fat storage. Congrats on losing all the weight - keep up the great work!

I've been trying to lose weight from my inner thighs for quite a while, 5 months, with a personal trainer incorporating weightlifting, cardio and a good protein diet but the results a extremely slow and ive plateaued so i was wondering about what to do? is HIIT cardio a good idea

[losefatatwork]

@89meera HIIT is the BEST thing you can do if you really want to lose some serious fat. Make sure you are shaking things up every 4-6 weeks in your training program and use a combo of metabolic resistance training together with HIIT and good eating and you should be good.

Hope that helps!

Does that mean I could eat in and out meal after a workout ? Wouldn't that erase all of my hard work?

[losefatatwork]

Good question.

All that I'm saying is that if you are going to eat carbs or 'cheat' foods, post workout is the time to do it. The fat gain effects will be minimized to some degree.

However, if you just go and eat junk after every workout then yes you will end up spinning your wheels because your poor diet will never let you get anywhere.

The way to use this practically is to plan your weekly/biweekly/monthly cheat meal for after a workout, so that the negative effects of it are minimized.
